Sunset Hill Wedding Barn Reviews

Reviewed On 9/18/2022 by Katie S

If I could give this amazing venue more than 5 stars I would! I can’t say enough great things about them and I have received so many compliments and great reviews from friends and family. We had our wedding here this part august and it was the ...

most perfect day ever. The venue itself is at a gorgeous location. It’s surrounded by woods and field that make for amazing photos. The barn itself is spacious and updated. Some of our guests came thinking it was going to be an old wooden barn and it is the complete opposite. It has the feel of a barn but none of the old issues like uneven floors or the old smell. The flat concrete floors make it perfect for any shoe style and they even have a concrete walkway that leads straight to the ceremony spot so I wasn’t worried about twisting an ankle because I stepped on an uneven surface. There’s a space for brides to get ready and a small kitchen area for caterers. With two bar locations, lots of table space and the best part of decorations being included in the price, you literally can’t beat this place!! Did I mention that they also have the best service ever? Laura and her husband go above and beyond to make sure that the day is seem less and beautiful! They even do the clean up for you after the event, how AMAZING!! We loved working with them so much and I can’t recommend them enough! 12/10 the best venue for any event!

We just had our wedding here last month and it was amazing! The views are SO gorgeous, pictures don’t even do it justice. The couple who own the barn were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Laura was communicative the entire time, ...

all the way from booking to the wedding weekend. They’re there to help set up the day before, wedding day, and then help take down the day after. They also have a huge list of decorations available to borrow which was super convenient. They’re just friendly people all around. Combine that with the beautiful venue and I can’t recommend this place more!

to work with during set up. Extremely helpful. On your big day when so much is happening they were hands on with the requests of the bride and family getting stuff done above and beyond what I would have expected. Also, Laura has an inventory of decorations that uniquely fit the space. These were all available to use as part of the barn rental. This was a big bonus when you are having a wedding out of town. I don't think anyone who looked at this place would be disappointed, unless they couldn't book the date they want.
