Our wedding was on 11/11/23 at Sunset Bluffs and it was absolutely glamorous! We booked with sunset Bluffs venue over two years ago and both Sharron and Gretchen were very detail oriented and the quality of service was beyond expected! They were very open to new ideas and were the best at keeping communication over our 2 year engagement. They were especially helpful making our dream wedding come true! We did the weekend package and from the time we got there Friday morning to the time we exited Sunday afternoon they were there for support and ready to lead a helping hand throughout the whole weekend! 10 out of 10 recommend this venue and the fireworks package! - The Aylwards

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Gretchen & Sharon are truly the best to work with! They were so responsive & kind. I actually felt bad at how often my parents & I were contacting them (multiple emails & calls a day) but they never acted bothered and were always quick to respond and do whatever they could to help! They were so accommodating, full of suggestions if we wanted them (I suggest taking them :)), and very organized. Honestly, I'm not sure what would have happened had we not had them. They were great about being in contact with our other vendors and making sure things run smoothly. They went out of their way on numerous things they didn't have to. For example, repositioning our tables last minute, helping set up our backdrop placement, or what felt like 50 people tried to bustle my dress that night - Gretchen saw the struggle and took the time to stop what she was doing and really figure it out for me - It was a blessing. They both seem so experienced and really do care! They truly were the reason everything went smoothly and I know there was so much behind-the-scene work that went on that I don't even know about. I can't thank them enough!

Communication was great! On the day of, Sharon, was a rockstar! She was our point person for everything leading up to and day of. We are so appreciative of all her help to make our day so perfect! She went above and beyond, even going as far as taking care of our dog during the reception (which she really did not have to do!) The venue itself is gorgeous and our Sunset pictures turned out beautifully. The other staff was great as well! 100% recommend this venue for a fall wedding!

Sunset Bluffs is a stunning venue with great amenities, we loved the venue as a whole but did not have the same interactions with staff it seems like others did. Most communication was initiated on our part. During the reception, I stated that they could pack up our inside decor when asked, but it was taken a step further and placed outside which left family to have to clean it up mid reception. We also had cleaning crews entering the house prior to us leaving without notice or permission. There were a few other similar issues throughout our stay that were frustrating and made it feel like just a property rather than a wedding venue. I think they could benefit from adding a wedding coordinator to their staff. Our wedding was great and we got tons of compliments on the venue, but some of our interactions were less than ideal.

We booked the full venue for our entire wedding weekend. Around a year after we booked our wedding date, Sunset Bluffs changed ownership to Gretchen and Pat. Additionally, after booking our wedding date, we moved to Maryland. The new owners were so easy to work with and very responsive to questions. While planning the wedding from Maryland, Gretchen and Pat were very accommodating and worked within our schedule, fitting visits (and tastings) to when we could be in Saint Louis.We arrived the morning before our wedding. When we got there, the tables were set up in the reception hall and under the tent for our cocktail hour. The chairs were set up for our ceremony. Both houses were ready on time and were very clean. We realized the day before the ceremony that we didn't have numbers to put on the tables, and Gretchen and Sharron were able to get those for us by the next morning.We spent most of the day before our wedding hanging out around/in the lake. The water was very nice, and everyone in our wedding party had a great time. Plus, we were able to grill for our rehearsal dinner using the venue's grill.Speaking of food, we used Mosaic catering, which is owned by Pat and is the site's preferred caterer. We were somewhat reticent about having to use the site's preferred caterer, but the food turned out amazing. Our guests are still raving about it. Plus, it was very reasonably-priced, despite us customizing our menu quite a bit. The venue itself is beautiful. All of our photos look amazing. I'm particularly impressed with how the sunset photos turned out. Despite being taken a bit earlier than sunset itself and despite how tired I remember both of us being at that point, they look beautiful.We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how much fun our guests and wedding party had during the weekend. No one could believe that a venue like this existed in Missouri. Sunset Bluffs provided us with exactly what we wanted: A beautiful destination wedding experience that our Saint Louis family and friends could easily attend by car.

Gretchen, Pat and Sharron were the absolute best. We needed to have some special accommodations for a member of the family who is wheelchair bound, and they were able to not only accommodate but make it completely stress free on the day of our wedding. All three were so helpful and always quick to respond to any emails or phone calls when I had questions or needed to adjust a detail while wedding planning. I cannot recommend this vendor enough. Gretchen and Sharron also took the time to do a second tour of the venue when they learned our photographer had not been to the location before, which really made a difference in our pictures on the day of our wedding. Sincerely cannot say enough good things, we were able to pull off our dream wedding without a hitch.

Our venue was absolutely amazing. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was. And Gretchen and Sharron were just fantastic! They made sure to meet 60 days and 30 days out from the wedding, which was amazing to hash details out and make sure everyone was on the same page. They kept the guest moving to the correct locations and kept my now husband and I on time with our itinerary. When I expressed concern about the ownership change Gretchen let us do another venue tour with us and our photographer. I felt like they did everything I expected then a whole lot more. From the team setting up, bartenders and those organizing everything the whole team was so kind, and understanding. I really wish I could think of more nice things to say I am so thankful for how our wedding worked out.

Had an absolutely fabulous experience hosting our wedding at Sunset Bluffs. Our day was smooth and perfect, which was made possible due to Gretchen, Pat and Sharron. We had no worries during our day as we trusted the Sunset Bluffs team to take care of everything, to which they went above and beyond on.We received so many compliments from our guests on our venue as we were lucky enough with weather to truly utilize the entire grounds-- married outside, cocktail hour under the tent, dinner inside and then back outside to dance the night away! The best part is that the venue is SO beautiful on it's own, that we really did not need much at all in terms of decorations, giving us one less thing to worry about!Absolutely wonderful experience!

From the first time seeing the venue to each time thereafter, what stood out most was the opportunity to have a beautiful place to gather, enjoy and spend time with family and friends as we celebrated the wedding of our son and daughter in-law. A place with no need to have to move from point A to point B for this or that, etc... A place where the wedding party had a place to stay the night, safe and sound. A venue that was new to most of our guests who were appreciative of what you have created. You have something special and I hope others have the opportunity to come and see and experience. Your time, talent, and passion are most appreciated and recognized. Please pass along our Thanks to your staff and to your vendor, Uncle Linny's Catering; a great dinner was had by all.

We felt in our little bubble celebrating with our closest friends and family in this gem found in Washington, MO. The whole venue is perfectly designed for weddings, they literally thought of everything while designing this place. So many great amenities at the guest house. Their online portal was great to keep track of our contracts and budget. The caterers they work with, specially Uncle Linny's for food was great! The whole staff was always asking me and my husband if we had a drink, food or needed any help. You truly feel at a destination wedding just an hour outside of St. Louis.

We absolutely love this venue, it’s the second time a member of our family has been married here. All of our guests couldn’t believe we were still in Missouri. We also appreciated how privately tucked away Sunset Bluffs is compared to other venues around STL. Fred helped walk us through each planning meeting and was always around to answer any questions we had. Thanks again for being a part of our day.

Fredrick helped make our wedding day perfect in so many small, thoughtful ways! He was so easy to work with and responsive from start to finish. And the venue itself is, of course, stunning! Seeing the venue on our first visit, we knew any other venue would be hard-pressed to beat out what Sunset Bluffs could offer and none did! (Plus, we had pretty much already made our decision after seeing the guest house and amenities offered such as kayaking and fishing which the guys loved!)

Sunset Bluffs will forever be amongst the most special, memorable, and desirable places to our family thanks to Fred and his staff.

We were looking for a venue that showed a piece of who we are as a couple and this property did just that. The atmosphere Fredrick created is truly breathtaking; from the bluffs, the sunsets, the lake and sandy beach we felt at home.

The space itself is so well designed and at such a great price! Highly recommend Sunset Bluffs for your special day!

Sunset Bluffs was the perfect choice for our ceremony and reception.

Although some were initially surprised by cost, for what it included it was very reasonably priced! Fredrick was efficient, attentive and worked with us on getting the most for our money without going over budget. We received so many compliments on having our wedding here. I can't imagine going anywhere else! It was perfect!

Sunset Bluffs is a beautiful venue and we are so happy that we found it for our daughter's wedding. We were originally thinking of a destination wedding because she wanted a beach and we saw Sunset Bluffs in a wedding magazine. It was perfect - she was able to have her wedding on the beach, the dinner inside, and dancing outside under the tent. We had to postpone a year due to Covid and Fred, the owner, was so understanding and helpful in working with us. We rented the venue for the weekend and had the rehearsal dinner there, the wedding party all stayed at the guest house the entire weekend, and the wedding and reception. Our guests are still remarking on how beautiful Sunset Bluffs is and how much fun they had. We were extremely happy with everything.

He could be difficult to work with at times and seems to be very picky about the fine details which caused a bit of stress the day of, so that’s something to note. However, Tracey and the bartenders ensured everyone was having a blast, and they took the time to say hello and made us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. Xavier was also amazing!

Frederick was very unprofessional on our wedding day. We had 220 people and our bridal party was 20 people. He had the reception hall set up and my coordinator moved the head table around (the tables were in the same area just into a different shape) to accommodate the DJ next to our head table for everyone to fit. He then mentioned “I almost canceled a whole wedding because of the coordinator moving around the tables” and “if they don’t like the tables that’s fine I’ll just cancel the wedding”. Later that night the wedding party stayed the night at the house and had music playing. Frederick pulled my husband to the side and said he “didn’t appreciate the bachelor and bachelorette party going on” and that “if anything happens I’ll sue you and the bride who’s having her wedding here tomorrow will sue you.” The whole night he was snapping at my vendors and very unprofessional. It’s a shame such a beautiful place is ran this way. Do not recommend.

SO. MANY. COMPLIMENTS!! We had our wedding here on November 7th 2020 and we planned it a year in advance. I met Fredrick at a bridal convention a few years ago when he just got the place up and running and I remember thinking “I will get married there one day!”. Once my fiancé proposed, I made the appointment to meet with Fredrick to see the venue and of course fell in love and didn’t need to see any other venues. We signed the contract that day and I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for Fredrick making it such an easy process! We rented the house and the venue for 24 hours, totally worth it! Fredrick and his team helped set up the decorations and made the whole day so easy and run smoothly. The venue is private, peaceful, beautiful no matter what season and the team is so easy to work with. His mom saw me having a slight bridal breakdown and ran to my rescue and made me feel 100 times better (thank you, Donna!). My wedding day was PERFECT!!! It was absolutely perfect in every way. Guests are still sending me messages saying how beautiful the venue was and many of them said it’s the most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen. Thank you Fredrick and your team for helping me with my dream wedding. It was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Thank you! Thank you, Thank you!

This venue is like a fairytale; so gorgeous and serene. For us it is about an hour drive away from where we live but we would have done double that for this amazing venue. Frederick is such a genuinely amazing, hard working, down to earth person! He went out of his way to make sure that all aspects of our wedding went smoothly, even assisting our photographers to get the perfect sunset photos. How many owners do you see doing that?! He works with other vendors so well that the couple doesn't even have to do anything, he will make sure everything is set up! So many venues only allow you a limited amount of time for your big day, but this location's minimum time they give to is 12 hours; giving you a real opportunity to relax and enjoy your wedding day rather than feeling rushed. For anyone to is even remotely thinking about booking here or wondering if the price is worth it, take it from a bride who's special day went without a hitch, it is worth every penny

For larger parties:300 person max is accurate, but with 275 guests we were a little tight during dinner, which was fine since we were mainly focused on dancing and the space to mingle before and after dinner. Plenty of space to fill out afterwards, but if a tight crowd is a problem I would suggest thinning out the numbers for this venue. It really is a refreshing space to behold. Overnight stay option?! Yes it was totally worth getting to enjoy that space all night. We sang and danced by the firestack outside and enjoyed the beautiful bluff side and open sky. The area is so calming at night with the waterfall going and fountain in the lake. I only wish that their separate home was completed by our wedding date to have more family/friends stay on location with us. I'd give them more stars if I could! Thanks Sunset Bluffs team.

The venue is beautiful, guest house is perfect if you have family you want to spend time with through out the weekend. But the owner is more than unpleasant to work with. Calling me a week before my wedding to tell my the caterer I picked was going to be banned after my wedding because they didnt move another brides cake. Even though they weren't banned. BTW William's Brother, AMAZING FOOD. Stopped my sister in the parking lot to give her a hard time for speeding into the venue when it wasnt even her in the car. He appeared agitated and on edge to all of my guests to the point that they started whispering about him and my father in law heard it. when approached by my sister to inform him our guests were noticing his attitude, he continued to be very brash with my sister talking about her kids playing by the rocks and how he \"saved them\" from rocks falling on them. If its that's dangerous the rocks by the bluffs need roped off. Literally nothing to do with the fact he is acting rude. Our bar started at 5:20pm which he says he told my father. which means our bar ended at 10:20pm. I'm not saying he didnt tell my father but it is not my fathers job to relay the bar ending time to the guests who are the ones drinking. Our DJ was informed by bar and/or venue staff that he was not allowed to give a last call. His assistant came to me to tell me there was 8 minutes left on the bar and no last call was allowed. I told my guests and that's when the owner told me the bar had already closed 10 minutes prior to his assistant telling me we still had about 10 minutes left. without any additional warning other than he told my dad at some point in the night. It should not be the father of the brides duty to notify guests when the bar is closing. When a member introduced themselves to him he rudely walked off stating \"I have to find these remotes, all these kids\". So in short, I would not recommend to anyone I actually care about. And any bride who does have their wedding here, work strictly with his assistant and hope to God he doesnt show up. I saw reviews that took words out of my mouth back in October of 2017 and here I am. So I'm assuming itll never get through to him. Also note that a lot of the bad reviews I've seen on here before have since been deleted.

Sunset Bluffs is an amazing venue. The owner was very accommodating, professional, and easy to work with.

Our wedding was on Saturday, August 18, 2018 and it was one of the best days of life! Of course everyone envisions their wedding day to be perfect, but mine honestly was. Sunset Bluffs is absolutely AMAZING along with it's amazing owners/staff. Fredrick Long is simply great. He makes everything work. Although he may not agree with how you want things, he still helps and makes sure everything turn out absolutely perfect. Danielle, his girlfriend & amazing sidekick, helped out a ton as well. She actually does photography also and her pictures look AMAZING. If you are looking for a wedding venue that you are able to stay the whole weekend with your wedding party and/or family, this is the perfect destination. It is such an amazing location. It feels like you are far far away on a lake/beach somewhere. It is super peaceful and just so pretty. If you want to get married on the beach in the white sand you can, if you want to get married underneath a waterfall you can, if you want to get married in front of a lake with a fountain you can, if you want to get married in front of an elegant stone fireplace you can, and if it rains there is a tent/reception hall that you can get married in as well! You can literally choose wherever you'd like and Fredrick and Danielle will make it happen. A little side story of how they both go above and beyond... My sister (my maid of honor) made a video for me and my husband to play at our wedding reception. Fredrick made sure to have the projector and screen installed and set up for us to be able to use. Horribly, my dads' girlfriend accidentally sat down in her sit and ripped the adaptor from the projector.... ending up breaking it. What did Fredrick and Danielle do? WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW CORD in enough time to be back to set it up and save the video my sister worked so hard on for months.... These are the moments that you look back on and are so beyond thankful for choosing not only the prettiest venue around the area, but also choosing the greatest staff to work with. You do not want your wedding day even more stressful than it already is and I can gladly say that I was not stressed whatsoever. I have worked with Fred in the past with a couple other weddings at Sunset Bluffs, and I knew he would make sure everything was perfect before I walked down the isle or walked into the reception. He always go above and beyond for his bride and groom. The weekend package was probably my favorite part just because both our friend groups were able to get to know each other and hangout Friday night before the big day. Then we were able to dance the night away and just walk 10 steps into the house and fall asleep! It was amazing to not have to worry about cleaning up or having to rush because our \"time was up & the night was over.\" If you are looking for a romantic get-away \"destination\" wedding, Sunset Bluffs is the place to have it. I PROMISE. Thank you again so much to Fredrick and Danielle for everything you did for us! You both are amazing. :)

Where do I begin? I cannot tell you how much we are in love with Sunset Bluffs. We were completely over our heads wedding planning, and we planned in just a few months with over 100 guests. In fact, we actually switched venues to Sunset Bluffs and it was the best decision we ever made. From there, everything was taken care of. Fredrick provided a “white glove” boutique type service for us. That’s more like a wedding planner people pay so much extra for. A few comments from our guests: “this is the nicest venue I’ve ever been to; I feel like we’re at a destination wedding”. Another guest said “ we just got married at the Wynn…had we known this was here, this would have been our spot.” “How have we never heard of this place, this is totally stunning”. There is no place like this in St. Louis, St. Charles, wine country…there just isn’t. Trust me, we looked at all of them! We had our ceremony on “the beach” in the fall with a five string quartet, dinner and drinks to follow after a cocktail hour in the newly airy structure for our reception. To call it a “reception hall” does no justice. It’s open, airy, right on the water. We even had a set of bags outside and our guests LOVED it. That’s the neat thing about Sunset Bluffs that nowhere else has. You can have a “laid back” event that is classy, and timeless. I would say 75% of our guests kept saying the same thing, just blown away by their surroundings. I would also recommend Danielle Ambry Photography for your needs - outdoor lighting can be really tricky and her work is second to none!

Sunset Bluffs was the perfect venue for our wedding. Most venues focus primarily on the bride's experience but Sunset Bluffs catered to myself and my groomsmen as well. In addition to an awesome bridal suite, they have a separate portion of the house just for the groomsmen to hang out. We played pool in the pool table room, got ready in the grooms room, and killed some time watching our football game in the movie theatre room in massage chairs. It was awesome! The day didn't feel rushed or chaotic, but instead of relaxing and enjoyable. Fredrick went above and beyond both Friday night for our rehearsal dinner and Saturday the day of the wedding. He is professional and friendly and made the whole experience simply perfect. Best venue and venue owner in St. Louis!

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Sunset Bluffs on October 13. We booked Sunset Bluffs a full year and 3 months before our wedding date. We booked the venue for the entire weekend and that was the best decision we made. It allowed us to not feel overwhelmed and have a very relaxing wedding day. The weather was rainy and quite chilly on Friday but we were able to have a small (20 person) rehearsal dinner inside the house and it couldn't have been more perfect - the house is spacious enough that multiple conversations can happen at the same time a game of pool is being played! On Saturday the temperature never got above 50 degrees but Fredrick and his team worked vigorously to warm up the tent so the sides were able to attached and we could have the cozy reception we had been dreaming about!! Our ceremony couldn't have been more uniquely Fall - the skies were overcast, the leaves were turning to their bold fall colors, the waterfall was cascading over the bluffs and we said our \"I do's\" in front of a roaring fire in the outdoor fireplace. Fredrick and his team really have created the most unique, wonderfully diverse venue in the heart of Missouri!

Just had my wedding at Sunset Bluffs this past weekend and wanted to add my voice to the others in praise. The natural beauty of the venue and the responsiveness of Fredrick and his team are already well-documented, so I thought I’d add my additional thoughts about why this is an ideal venue. Fredrick truly goes above and beyond in every way; I felt he was as invested in our success as we were! And the result was well worth it. First of all, we had the venue all weekend, Fri-Sun, which allowed us for leisurely set up and take down times. Since our reception had a heavy DIY aspect (we grew all of our own flowers(!)), it was crucial to have those time windows. Plus, setting up with family and friends was fun! Between the house, hall, tent and outdoor areas, there is just so much SPACE. We were able to spread out and craft to our heart’s content. And without the rush to get in and get out. For location: this is such an ideal quasi-destination. Slightly less than an hour from downtown STL, slightly less than an hour from the airport, and Lyft/Uber abound. The location -appears- remote but be fooled not: there is a JoAnn Fabric SIX minutes away for your last minute crafting needs (and my dress ended up needing a hook and eye, so that was lifesaver!) Not to mention Marshall’s, Ulta Beauty, and a gaggle of other retail stores and restaurants.The house itself: Ample room for your wedding party/friends/family. I would point out that the upstairs rooms are quieter/more private that downstairs. It can be loud for downstairs guests if people are up late partying in the kitchen. But the master/bridal suite: GORGEOUS. We had the makeup chair set up close to the balcony, so I could actually see the chairs being set up for the ceremony while I was getting makeup done. Does it GET any better than that? Having that upstairs retreat was AMAZING as I could slip away whenever I wanted but still see the action from the balcony.

Overall, having the house and lake to relax with friends and family in the hours before the wedding was truly exquisite.

Just had my wedding at Sunset Bluffs this past weekend and wanted to add my voice to the others in praise. The natural beauty of the venue and the responsiveness of Fredrick and his team are already well-documented, so I thought I’d add my additional thoughts about why this is an ideal venue. Fredrick truly goes above and beyond in every way; I felt he was as invested in our success as we were! And the result was well worth it. First of all, we had the venue all weekend, Fri-Sun, which allowed us for leisurely set up and take down times. Since our reception had a heavy DIY aspect (we grew all of our own flowers(!)), it was crucial to have those time windows. Plus, setting up with family and friends was fun! Between the house, hall, tent and outdoor areas, there is just so much SPACE. We were able to spread out and craft to our heart’s content. And without the rush to get in and get out. For location: this is such an ideal quasi-destination. Slightly less than an hour from downtown STL, slightly less than an hour from the airport, and Lyft/Uber abound. The location -appears- remote but be fooled not: there is a JoAnn Fabric SIX minutes away for your last minute crafting needs (and my dress ended up needing a hook and eye, so that was lifesaver!) Not to mention Marshall’s, Ulta Beauty, and a gaggle of other retail stores and restaurants.The house itself: Ample room for your wedding party/friends/family.

My husband and I fell in love with the venue on our first visit. The property is absolutely beautiful! Located a little outside of Washington and surrounded by the bluffs makes it feel like you're in your own private world. Fred was a joy to work with, and my husband and I have zero complaints! I would definitely recommend Fred and his venue to anyone who is looking for a place to get married!

Amazing venue-we loved having the house for the entire weekend! We had our rehearsal dinner there and were able to hang out all in one place. It made for a really relaxing weekend. The bluffs are such a beautiful background for a wedding. Venue owner needs a specific wedding coordinator to help with communication. We had a few issues there with disorganization and some miscommunication. Other than that, the venue itself is amazing.

Aaron and I got married at Sunset Bluffs in April 2018, and we could not be happier that we did. The Sunset Bluffs team went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly and as we expected. Fredrick, venue owner and operator, even went as far as to go pick up our DJ off the side of the road when his car broke down and made sure he was there and ready for our wedding ceremony to begin on time. As a bride, I had literally zero stress on my wedding day because of the dedication of Fredrick and his team. They took care of everything and made our perfect day proceed as seamless as possible. As another example of their superb service, our wedding day was a cooler day for an outdoor wedding and tented reception. We did not have any hot drinks included with our catering or drink package. The Sunset Bluffs team took it upon themselves to go purchase multiple coffee urns and coffee to serve our guests when it was colder than expected. (I’m in no way indicating that you will receive “freebees” just by getting married here, but that Sunset Bluffs truly puts the bride and groom, and their guests first.) They made the property and reception tent look beautiful despite the ongoing construction of the permanent reception hall (which looks great by the way!). With a wedding party of 6, the girls and I had plenty of room in the beautiful mansion on site to get ready, and the guys had a great time waiting for the girls to finish getting ready in the “movie theatre.” Fredrick checked in with us throughout the day to make sure everything was going smoothly and constantly made sure we were satisfied with the venue. He had all the fire pits and beautiful fireplace burning during our reception and our guests absolutely loved that amenity. Our waterfront wedding was absolutely perfect and everything we had hoped for. Our families and wedding guests are still commenting on how beautiful and unique Sunset Bluffs is. You won’t be disappointed!

What an absolutely beautiful location for a Wedding ceremony, yard games during appetizers and a reception!!Sunset Bluffs is that destination wedding location close to home! Frederick, the owner, provided the perfect location for my wedding. We were looking for a one stop wedding and reception with a big area to play yard games. It was also so convenient to have some of the wedding party stay at the amazing house to enjoy the time together as they came from all over the country and also extra large bedroom with bridal suite for all the girls to get ready - then all we had to do was walk down the stairs!! So very convenient!!! We asked for a cross for the ceremony, and Frederick had a beautiful steel cross made and it was the perfect backdrop with the cross and the fountain and the stone wall! My husband and I also got some astounding photos up on the bluff at sunset - Frederick knows all the best places for those memorable photos! We are so thankful to Frederick for going the extra mile for our family! It was such a blessing to have our wedding at Sunset Bluffs! Frederick supplied us with a list of recommended caterers and we chose Sugar Fire in Fenton to supply the wedding feast - their service was great and everything was so delicious!! Sugar Fire told us they would make whatever we wanted - whether it was on the menu or not! We also would highly recommend John at Photo Video Image Productions for all your photography needs. He took a drone photo of all the wedding party and guests right after the ceremony as well as interviewed parents, family and friends for the video! PVI also has a fun photo booth that will send a copy of the picture directly to your guests phone and then also a copy to the wedding couple.

I booked my wedding a year out and from the time I booked the venue until the wedding, there were many positive additions Fredrick added. Him and Joe were very helpful the day of the wedding in arranging all the chairs, setting up the arbor and other odds and ends that needed to do with the venue itself. Having the ceremony and reception all at one place while having the entire wedding party stay at the house was so relaxing! We even had our rehearsal dinner here and had food catered in the night before. You do not need a lot of decorations as the scenery of Sunset Bluffs lends itself enough beauty! I would recommend this venue to anybody who wants a little less tradition and more flexibility.

He listened to our likes and dislikes to make our wedding day perfect for us. He was there every step of the way; from assistance planning, suggested vendors, to setting up & assisting guests. The house is beautiful, anywhere you look inside or out the view is breathtaking. You need calming elements on your wedding day! So waking up and walking outside to hear nothing but the sounds of the fountain is so surreal. There was so much room for everyone inside and out (we never felt cramped & we had a LARGE wedding party). Our wedding photos are fantastic because of the gorgeous scenery.

I had the pleasure of using this venue for our wedding October 7th and I can’t say enough great things about it. We stayed in this huge, beautiful house with all the bells and whistles. The kitchen is a chefs dream, the master bedroom is so spacious with a GINORMOUS closet and en suite, the theater room is so cool with massaging chairs that keep your drinks cold and you can charge your phone, the bedrooms are so nice. We have 20 people stay and everyone had somewhere to sleep. The grounds are gorgeous. They call it sunset bluffs for a reason. The pictures we took at sunset are so beautiful and one of a kind. Our photographers loved it. I HIGHLY suggest planning a break time in between the ceremony and reception around sunset so you can get those amazing pictures without missing any of the fun. Fred was super helpful. We were unfortunate to have the power go out (to no ones fault) while we were getting ready. There was a storm and knocked out power for the whole area. Fred rushed in with generators and extension cords in no time to save the day. He made sure our day was unaffected by the elements. He really cares about what he does and that his brides and grooms are well taken care of. Book now while you can. He is continually improving the property and it definitely shows. Book a visit today. I knew I wanted to get married here while driving up the driveway. Pictures don’t do this place justice

After visiting Sunset Bluffs, I had a great overall experience and will definately be booking my wedding here. My fiance and I were looking for an upscale property that would make our future wedding an exceptional one that was modestly priced. After going through the tour of Mr. Long's venue, we were very impressed with his home and the overall beauty of his property. What really stood out to me was his interest in what our specific needs were for our wedding. He really showed us his interest and gave us the impression he truly cared for us, our wedding, and everyone that would be enjoying our special day. I have nothing but good to say about the politeness of Mr. Long and the service he will be providing for my fiance and me. I would recommend any engaged couple to go see Sunset Bluffs and see the true beauty for themselves.

I had quite the experience with Mr. Long who owns this property. On May 27, I had emailed Fred on his email that he provided on his website, seeing if I could possibly rent out his venue for a Saturday in April of 2017. I never received an email so I messaged him via Facebook. He responded back and gave me a quote on what I had asked for. He said to rent the property that Saturday it would be $3200 and that included a restroom that he would provide. I said great and he said that he would try and re- send the email that I never received. On May 31st, I had not heard from him, so I messaged him again via Facebook to see if we could come look at the venue (I had only seen pictures). He responded back that yes I could but they had been busy with vacationers and that they had also been booking the full weekends a lot and with a one-day event it would “ruin out the whole weekend” and that he was sorry. I was confused because he had already quoted me a price for the day I asked. So I said, you only rent the venue out for the whole weekend now and he responded yes. So in a matter of 4 days after, no response following the quote he gave me for one day, everything changed and he went back on his word. I told him that this was a letdown and that I had gotten my hopes up. Once again, he apologized and said that they had changed management and that the last management was misinformed and they could not do a single day event and have alcohol brought on the property due to insurance reasons. He said that I could possibly use their “vendor” although it states on his wedding website that he has no vendors. So, I asked if I could just use their vendors and he replied “that is possible” and asked for how many people. I told him 150- 200 max. He said I will call our vendor and get back with you promptly. Four days had passed and still no word from him on his “vendor”. So I went ahead and messaged him via Facebook on 6-2 and asked if he had ever gotten ahold of his vendor and he said yes, for food and drink the total came out to $11,500. I told him no thanks, the price had literally gone up $8,300 in four days with his “vendors” who he was unable to name and that you don’t do business like that. He responded, “I can’t do business with you anyways” followed by the breakdown of the price and that 200 people “aren’t free to feed”. I told him that after this catastrophe I didn’t want his business anyway, and that I would leave reviews letting future customers know how sketchy and unprofessional his business was. He then said “finishing touch”, call me and gave me his cell number. Of course, I was not going to call him after all of this or respond anymore, well he kept messaging me saying that I was unable to leave reviews because I had officially never reserved the venue (thank god) and that he had already “flagged me” on the Knot and wedding wire and “many more sites” if I left a review. Still, I decided not to message him because clearly he is unaware why there is a review section on the websites. So, for the record, STAY AWAY and beware of this business.
