We just had our wedding reception there last month and have nothing but great things to say about The Estate! We loved working with Jen as the sales representative and we had Ava as our decorator and day of coordinator. Those two were absolutely amazing! The venue offered us multiple meetings through the planning process and were wonderful for our event! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and a huge thank you to The Estate!

We cannot say enough amazing things about The Estate at Sunset Farm and their incredible team. Jen, our sales representative, was wonderful from the start — responsive, friendly, ...

and genuinely invested in helping us bring our wedding vision to life. She made the planning process feel smooth and manageable. Adam was incredibly informative and professional throughout the entire experience. His clear communication and expertise made us feel confident and well-prepared every step of the way. And Ava deserves endless praise. She is an absolute production package QUEEN. Her attention to detail, organization, and execution were flawless. She ensured everything was set up beautifully and that the entire day ran seamlessly. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding. The coordination, setup, and overall execution were exceptional. The team at The Estate at Sunset Farm goes above and beyond, and it truly shows in the quality of their work. If you’re looking for a venue with a dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring team — look no further. This was the best decision we made.

ic, intimate wedding venue that feels like you are at the most beautiful, historical estate. Look no further. My dream of Pride and Prejudice, romantic comedies, and my Pinterest board came to life. The amount of time we had access to the venue for both rehearsal and our wedding day allowed for us to truly appreciate the day and soak in every special moment. The venue has a perfect balance of outdoor ceremony locations (as we used an outdoor location), beautiful areas for cocktail hour, and indoor for the evening. The open houses were incredible, and made planning such an ease. We were able to truly customize our decor because we truly felt comfortable and familiar with the venue because of the open houses. I do also want to mention Natasha, who worked both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. She was so extremely attentive, checked in with us so many times to be sure we were on the same page, and not only did she help with such professionalism, it surely didn’t allow her kindness and humor to lack. She made us feel so seen, comfortable, and confident in our day. As we reminisce on our special day, her presence and help speaks out to us so much that we want to recognize her. We are grateful to have had our special day at such a beautiful venue. The process was much less stressful because of the amazing planning meetings and accessibility that the Estate has set in place. We truly recommend the Estate to have your special day!

stress-free! We did take advantage of hiring the day-of coordinator, which we highly recommend. It was great to have someone take care of all the setup and vender communication, as well as to check in with us and help things go smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a single detail day-of. Ava was absolutely amazing-so welcoming, fun, and helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed and even took an impromptu sunset photo as the evening came to a close. She communicated well but was never overwhelming. All the staff were wonderful. We had such a fun time, everything was gorgeous, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. We highly recommend choosing the Estate as the venue for your wedding reception!

Seriously, our day was so beyond perfect, and I would recommend them again and again!

The venue is beautiful! They have two showers on site, which I appreciated because, of course, the hot water did not work in my shower when I woke up for the big day. I ended up no...

t using them, but knowing they were available was a huge weight off. The day of staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, but there were a few drawbacks. We had a winter wedding and it was very cold. We weren't thinking of logisitcs when we booked the venue, assuming that they had a protocol in place for winter/rainy wedding days, but it was a disappointment to learn that our guests would have to walk from the parking lot at the back of the venue, all the way back to the front doors. There is no golf cart/shuttle. (And the pathway from the back to the front leaves something to be desired.) I was also a little frustrated with the text communications. They message from three different phone numbers, which makes it difficult to track information. I did ask to be emailed, but they kept defaulting back to text message. The bridal suit is also beautiful until you're using it. The lighting is horrible, and one of the lamps couldn't even be plugged in - it flickered like a rave. (Private bathroom is a plus though.)

ive. However, we ran into several major issues with this venue over the course of our year of planning. Communication is absolutely not a priority for them, which created a lot of unnecessary anxiety for us leading up to the wedding. The fact that we almost never met or talked to the same person twice made the experience seem very impersonal. In addition, all of the communication happened via text when we would have much preferred being able to call and talk to someone personally. On the morning of our wedding, we were still having to clarify details that we had been discussing with the venue for over a year - we were often in a position where we were repeating plans and details many times depending on who we were talking to. All in all, the venue space is beautiful - there’s no denying that. However, I would not recommend this space based on the lack of attention and communication we consistently experienced. If you are a more anxious, detail-oriented bride like I was, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

so many things outside of the scope of a normal venue. A great place to really build your own wedding based on your budget and your vision.

If I did it all over, I would definitely have my wedding here again!

The Estate was a great experience for us overall. They were very professional and flexible and were able to make our day so special! They had a lot of growth between when we booked...

and the date of our ceremony to include getting their liquor license. As this came in shortly before our ceremony they were quick to contact us and let us know and be were flexible to provide us with the option we wanted for our day. They are still a growing business, but are extremely receptive to feedback and very affordable. I highly recommend booking here as they are extremely reasonable business to work with and transparent!

Overall we were happy with our decision to go with the Estate for our reception. Our day went very smoothly and vendors and guests loved the space. The only drawback was the poor c...

ommunication leading up to the wedding. There's no one you can call, there's generally just a number you text and you never know who you're going to be talking to. Sometimes I had to send multiple messages over a period of a few weeks before I heard back from anyone. Leading up to the wedding that created a lot of stress so if communication is big for you, you might want to reconsider but otherwise the day of the wedding they were pretty on it.

mmendations for ideas and helped with good documentation. Items that you should be aware of include their pending liquor license (they’ve been working on it for over a year) and a lot of communication is through texting, though you can request a callback or pay for a concierge planner of sorts.

I think it might have been easier had I worked with an experienced wedding planner. They stepped up day of, and were very attentive to us. We added a package where they brought a horse up to visit, and the guests loved it! We got a few photos as well with Jules and she is just beautiful. I would recommend this venue. They do have preferred vendors, which was great for recommendations if you don't want search your on your own. Overall, We absolutely loved this venue and our wedding and would have picked it all over again.

The Estate at Sunset Farm is a gorgeous venue and we selected it because it was local and beautiful. Jen, the saleswoman, is great to work with. However, in follow up meetings and ...

working with the Estate representative day of was hard for Type A brides. The Estate will order all linen and china. They will also have two follow up meetings after you select them-- you must be really prepared for these meetings as they are scheduled for a short amount of time. The Estate has many different people you will meet with and not all are knowledgable on your event and needs. Meetings with the Estate were rushed and did not leave me as the bride feeling confident with the staff. When dropping off checks or dropping by, staff at the venue were short and unfriendly with us. We did not opt for a day of coordinator through the Estate because we did not trust them to know what was needed to do. If we did not have a family friend helping run the schedule for the day of, there would not have been enough help from the Estate to have a smooth day. The venue itself is so gorgeous it is disappointing that those working there are not focused on giving knowledgable, confidence-inspiring service.
