Hal and Lolo were amazing to work with! The venue is stunning! We ended up renting the entire venue (partial is an option) and brought in our own vendors. Crestview Dairy was great with flexibility, communication, professionalism, and worked with us to make our vision a reality! Reviewed on 24-06-2023
Megan McGowan(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 We had the absolute worst experience at Crestview. The owner Hal walked around my wedding with only 1 shoe on due to an “injury”, yelling at me about parking situations, when he or one of his employees should have handled it, shoved one of my guests, yelling at me a second time & walked away from me as I was trying to explain something to him. He is such a jerk and has no business in this field. He will promise you the world and not follow through on anything. Extremely difficult to work with, it’s his way or the Highway. Beautiful location but not worth the trouble. Also who doesn’t have plumed bathrooms and still charges so much money?? Reviewed on 26-10-2022
Joylyn King(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 This venue was beyond what I could have hoped for Hal had become apart of our family we all love him. They made our special day more than special. It was the first time in history both sides of my family were together. Thank you guys!!!!! Reviewed on 09-09-2022
Andrew Kent(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2022 What to say about Crestview Dairy? I think the appropriate word is breathtaking. First and foremost, the location. Just outside Kansas City, MO proper, Crestview is nestled on a strip of road away from the hustle and bustle of the City life but located close enough to be accessible to you and your guests. The grounds themselves are sprawling; with magnificent lawns, a serene pond, and lake side shelter slash firepit area that is just begging for smores and good times. The pond offers a quiet place to reflect upon your commitment to one another. The flowers naturally bloom in spring and throughout the summer, so they can add depth to your floral arrangements without breaking the bank. A huge value add. Imagine walking down a path lined with roses as the music swells and your special someone waits for you at an alter among the greenery of the small, wooded area around the pond. The lake side is party central and offers a great spot for a bonfire and roasting some marshmallows which could be a unique offering at your wedding (think about it, how many weddings have you been to with a smores bar over a real bonfire?). What’s more, you might not even need a DJ if you use their inhouse PA systems. We were able to Bluetooth our phones right to the speaker system and jam out to our favorite tunes (yet another cost savings). For the grand effect, Crestview also offers the option for a professional grade firework show to seal the night in absolute awe. They have Adirondack chairs that can be set up across the lake for optimal viewing and the kids who attend are sure to boast about seeing extra fireworks this year. The beautiful barn has been repurposed into an elegant spot for hosting a cocktail hour for your guests while you sit for pictures at any of the locations around the venue. The barn’s loft area is the prime spot for modern and classic photography to help capture the beauty and grace of your big day. And when it’s time to get down to business (the reception), they offer a shuttle to and from the various spots around the grounds. Overall, I can’t say enough about the location, but more important is the staff that works here. Hal and his team have put together everything to make sure your special day goes off without a hitch. They have two suites available for both bridal parties and the groomsmen (or two sets of bridal parties or grooms parties, they welcome all people). Plus, your day is guaranteed to run smooth with Kristi making sure everything is taken care of before the big day. On top of everything, they have tents to suit any size wedding or other event. As Hal says “We assume an absolute downpour” and they have the logistics to back that up. Even if there are storms all day, your guests will enjoy a dry experience under one of the big top tents they have to setup around the grounds. They partner with many vendors in the area but for parties over 100 guests you will have to use Embrace the Grape for drinks and ANY caterer you can find. Hal and his team work with ETG often, so the relationship really helps making sure everyone has something to drink (alcoholic or not). I can’t say enough about how Hal, Kristi, and company bend over backwards to make your fantasy wedding a reality at this grand venue. If you are looking for an event space that recalls a simple life in the country but you need that perfect flair of elegance, Crestview is where it’s at. Put your deposit down now, trust me, you won’t regret it. Reviewed on 18-12-2021
Jennifer Williams(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 My wedding was a dream come true at Crestview Dairy Farm. The day was perfect and evening more fun than we could have imagined. After our wedding ceremony in the rustic barn, we all retired to the reception area at the Lake. The tent we selected was beautiful and just the right size. We had a full dinner buffet and DJ that played music all evening. The guys even had fun taking turns trying to catch fish with the fishing poles that were provided. I would recommend this venue to any bride looking for a beautiful country setting close to the city. Reviewed on 22-11-2019
Mike Head(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-07-2018 If you're looking for a rustic wedding this is a perfect venue. Its less than 20 minutes from downtown kc and there are multiple hotels next to the venue. Despite that your in the middle of 31 acres landscaped lawns and gardens. Great venue.

After months of visits at outdoor wedding locations, some as far as two houses away, we saw the new Crestview Dairy site on the knot.com. After watching the videos we arranged to see it the next weekend. We entered the venue between two gigantic pillars and surrounded by enormous gardens on both sides. 300 feet away we saw Crestview lake below us in the middle of a large valley. There is simply nothing to compare to it and we cant wait to get married there next April. Reviewed on 14-12-2018

By the time our wedding ceremony began last August my husband and I wanted to have our week long honeymoon at the Crestview Dairy instead of Mexico!! One reason? The fishing at Crestiew lake and the views from the bridal cottage which we rented for the night of the rehearsal dinner. If you want an outdoor wedding on a special estate this is the only place in town. Also the entire staff and the caterer were excellent. Reviewed on 14-12-2018
Marsha Flynn(professional)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2018 I’ve lived near Crestview Dairy and attended several events there, including a close friend’s wedding. There is absolutely nothing like this in Missouri and the Oppenheimer family should be very proud. Reviewed on 07-12-2018
Kenya Nice(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-07-2018 We really wanted someplace special to get married that was outdoors. Crestview had four totally separate outdoor locations all surrounded by landscaped rolling countryside. The crew was amazing getting it set up exactly the way we wanted. The day of the wedding there was rain in the forecast so they put up a 60’x40’ tent by the lake and the deck which has a 21’ roof. The whole thing was so fun and the scattered showers weren't a problem anymore. Thanks Again Hal, Amy, and Peter!! Reviewed on 29-11-2018
Cameron Nice(best man)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 I was best man for my brothers wedding at Crestview Lake.

Kristin Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-06-2019 Peter, and the owners Hal and Amy, gave us a tour and treated us great. The sheer size of the venue has no comparison to any of the other country/estate venues we looked at. Crestview has four completely different locations to choose from including some very affordable options. While we only expect 100 people the small wooded area and gazebo they showed us was perfect. We cannot wait to get married there. Reviewed on 26-11-2018
Michael Briggs(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 The reception I attended on the Crestview Lake Deck was truly amazing. The enormous bonfire, the fireworks, the amazing sound system, the band, and the beautiful reflection on the water at night. WOW! Reviewed on 26-11-2018
Henry Hill(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 My wife and I have spent most of our lives gardening and I am a landscape architect by trade.
