Had my wedding here in May 2025. The venue is absolutely beautiful and staff are so helpful even if you are planning your own wedding. They helped us find multiple vendors and did ...
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. And being able to have the option of the horses at the wedding made the day so magical and was a great hit with all of the guests. If I did it all over, I would definitely have my wedding here again!

We just had our wedding at The Estate on 9/13/25. I will say that our day was beautiful and the production assistant we worked with on our big day was incredibly helpful and attent...
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.

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. Overall, if it was possible, we would do the wedding here again!

e Day of the wedding was smooth, and the staff at Sunset and the Bar Tenders were absolutely amazing. We did find that there was some issues with communications before the wedding day, in that they wouldn't always reach out to us after a meeting when they said they would, but overall I was very happy with how our wedding went. 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 staff were lovely to work with leading up to and the day of the event; they were thoughtful and thorough and helped everything go smoothly.

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.

crunch time. We were lucky to find the Estate and the staff was unbelievably accommodating to our shortened timeline. We had our wedding at the end of April and the property was absolutely stunning. It was great working with our coordinator, Aria, virtually regarding every little detail. She kept us on track, even when we were starting to get overwhelmed and a little scatter-brained. We also really appreciate all the help from Jen, and our two bartenders, Malak and Jenna, who all helped make sure the day ran very smooth.

Once you give them your vendors information they contact them directly and handle all that so you don't have to. If you are looking for the perfect wedding Venue you have found it at The Estate.
