The Estate at Sunset Farm Reviews
Becca Vonderschmitt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2023 As soon as my husband and I drove onto this property, we knew it was the one. Meeting with the staff was always so pleasurable and the event staff made everything such a breeze for us. It was so nice not having to worry about anything whatsoever. The event staff helped tremendously and listened to my wishes. I was sad to leave the venue when our wedding was over! I highly recommend choosing this venue to host your event. Th Estate itself is so, so beautiful and they’ve done a wonderful job keeping it beautiful. I fell in love with just looking at the pictures, but they don’t even do it justice. You have to witness for yourself in person. Again, 10/10 recommendation choosing The Estate at Sunset Farm for your wedding or anything other event. Reviewed on 12-04-2023

We had our November wedding with The Estate and could not have asked for better!! The staff was super helpful planning from the day we signed our contract to our wedding day. We were able to rent all our linens directly with them and even use an indoor candle rental package which made for day of much easier not having to transport a bunch of decor. The venue itself is a beautiful setting and was the perfect spot for our special day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married! Reviewed on 05-12-2023

What can I say about Estate. As the groom I did not think that the venue would make that much of a difference but, boy was I wrong. The Estate is absolutely breathtaking. The gardens around the property are gorgeous. Having the horses running in the background leaves you speechless. Being able to escape the heat and enjoy the reception in the AC chefs kiss. The Estate really helps you throughout the entire process. They are in constant contact with you the entire time. The meetings beforehand are very informative. 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.

First off, I would simply love to say that if you have your wedding take place here, you will never go wrong with them!My now wife and I had an amazing time here! We had our wedding on the bigger site here, rather than the smaller Harvest House, and that's because we fell in love with not only the huge space, but just how BEAUTIFUL it is outside and inside. The bridal suite is huge, has its own bathroom and shower space if needed. It has lots of windows too, not obscured, but hard to see through so nobody can see the bride while she's getting ready. The windows give TONS of natural lighting, so the bride can look her best!The groom lounge isn't as big, but it's still phenomenal, with a leather sectional, a bathroom, and a shower if needed.We only had a small wedding with about 20 guests, but I can imagine it being difficult to fill all the space you would have for not only the ceremony, but the reception!We loved the design of everything here, and we specifically had our ceremony by the flower garden, which was just absolutely gorgeous! We weren't able to go to one of the Open House days to see, but I'm personally glad we couldn't go. Seeing all the flowers made it that much better of a surprise for how beautiful the ceremony location was!The event staff is also extremely accommodating, and there are plenty of handicap accessible places if you need it! I can't recommend this venue enough, it was the first and only venue I toured before saying this was the place. I will always be personally vouching for this venue for if and when my friends or family members want to get married anywhere. Reviewed on 10-08-2023

This venue was truly the most beautiful place my husband and I could have imagined for our wedding day! It had fairytale vibes from the outside with all the beautiful flowers, trees, and gardens. And the building itself was stunning!! One thing we loved about the venue was the opportunities we had to customize the event to make it our own. They have so many location options (both outside and inside) for the ceremony and we were able to select all the details for how we wanted our seating chart to be laid out (especially the head table) and more! The staff members were very kind and patient throughout the process and were flexible with us for our planning meeting times, since we were from out of town. We appreciate everything they did from day one and on to make our wedding truly the best day of our lives so far! We definitely recommend this venue to all Ohio couples! Reviewed on 09-08-2023

Every time we had a meeting with them we had to talk to a new person and it seemed like they didn’t know anything about our wedding and we had to start from scratch planning everything. They also initially told us they had a bartender and then during one of our last meetings they said they didn’t have one any more. I just wished they told us sooner because that changed who we wanted as our caterer! But overall, everything was still awesome and exactly like we discussed.

Everything was perfect from the communication, the decorations, the yard, the venue itself, and everything in between. It is the perfect place for any wedding style. We chose to do an elegant themed wedding and this beautiful mansion created the perfect environment for everyone to come together to celebrate our special day. They also have the perfect place for a rustic, antique, farm, and any other theme you are wanting for your wedding day. My husband and I seriously couldn't have picked out a more perfect place to begin our new journey together. Jen and Steve are really easy to talk to and to bond with and that made our COVID wedding that much easier to plan. They were right there with us every step of the way and were helpful throughout this stressful time. No matter what issue or problem we came up with (and by issues I mean wedding planning in general) while planning a COVID wedding they were very understanding and communicated with us the entire time. It isn't everyday you meet people this invested in their customers and they are. YOU come first and they will do anything they possibly can to help your day come together. To say the least, I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. They were the perfect people with the perfect venue and the memories made here will last a life time.

Through Covid-19 there were a lot of ups and downs, wondering how our wedding would go or if we could even have a wedding, but the staff at The Estate at Sunset Farm was with us the whole way. We had some minor hiccups with communication along the way but with Covid going on and people having to plan their entire wedding twice we completely understood that it was crazy for them too. Jen and Steve were always very responsive and would listen to our questions and concerns while reassuring us we could make things work. They allowed us to use their venue but make the wedding our own. They also got us in touch with our day of coordinator Jena, of Blush and Bloom, she was absolutely amazing and answer every question along the way (and we had A LOT). The venue was beautiful and they cleaned up anything that we saw in our walk-through that we questioned, from downed trees to some cosmetic issues. We toured the venue in January but they painted the picture for us, and looking at their Instagram let us see the potential, but it doesn't do it justice, it was better than we could have ever imagined. We can't thank the staff enough for everything they did for us to make our wedding day special and make us feel like we were their only clients. Reviewed on 25-08-2020

If your big day goes perfectly as planned this place is for you. If not, don’t expect a pleasant interaction with Steve. We got into a disagreement, because our wedding was during COVID-19. With the regulations set in place at the time we would have only been able to have 10 people at our wedding and they still wanted to take us for all our money. We paid for a space that was large enough to hold 200+ guest, not 10 people. Don’t be fooled when the contract says they have seating for 305 people, that doesn’t necessarily mean people can sit in those 305 chairs. Our only other option was to reschedule for another date and even those were limited, not to mention we could have been in the same boat later down the road and had to go through this all over again on the rescheduled date. Fortunately the regulations changed and we were able to have our wedding on the original date. However, when we came in for the final meeting, Steve was rude to us the entire time. He was on his phone, not paying attention to our conversation and when I asked him to show me an area of the venue he just pointed and would not walk over with me so I knew the exact location, even after I asked several times. During our reception one of my vendors came up to me saying we better be packed up and gone by 11pm, because Steve told them he couldn’t wait to charge us extra if we stayed over. All he cared about was getting our money and has robbed other clients of theirs that chose to cancel due to COVID-19. I would have even understood if they couldn’t refund the security deposit, but wanting to keep the entire payment, during a pandemic? I also wasn’t too thrilled when the horses came out. The one was kicking his legs all over the place and even kicked the trainer. I do not believe this horse was ready to be around guest and a comment was made about how he was still in training. We had kids at our wedding that wanted to see and pet the horses, but that was not an option with that horse. At least 15 minutes of our hour with the horses was wasted trying to calm him down. I know animals aren’t perfect, but I was expecting a little better. I honestly would have considered writing a better review if we had just dealt with Jen. She was very sweet during our meetings and on the day of our wedding. Reviewed on 21-07-2020

RJ Reed(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 If I could give Sunset Farms 10 stars, I would. My wedding was in September and the owners, Steve and Jen, went above and beyond to make the event a perfect day. We had the wedding ceremony outside on the veranda, under the wisteria trellis, and the reception inside, so it made it very convenient for us and our guests. If your pictures are important to you, there are so many places on the grounds to take beautiful wedding pictures. Our sunset wedding photo was gorgeous with all of the greenery in the background. Steve and Jen were very helpful before and during the wedding. We had special requests and they went out of their way to accommodate our requests and make the day special. Our guests had a great time; they loved petting and taking selfies with the Shire horses during our cocktail hour outside. Many of our guests told us this was one of the nicest - and most fun - weddings they had ever attended. Quite the compliment! Most of our family and guests were from the Cincinnati and Dayton areas, so the location was convenient for everyone. And for our out-of-state guests, the nearby hotels were very nice - and a short Uber ride for those who didn't want to drive home after the reception. Needless to say, we were very happy we found The Estate at Sunset Farms for our wedding. It was perfect! Thank you Jen and Steve! Reviewed on 30-12-2019

The entire team went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day. The grounds and venue are beautiful and the gorgeous animals add a unique piece to any wedding. We had the wedding day we’ve always dreamed of at a very reasonable price that includes more than any other venue we visited. The team is so friendly and willing to provide any assistance needed. We HIGHLY recommend! Reviewed on 27-12-2019

The Estate at Sunset Farm was the absolute perfect location for our wedding. I hope this tells you something; I only toured this venue and once I did I knew I didn't need to see anything else. It was perfect, the willow trees dotting the landscape and wisteria falling over the trellis outside. A beautiful brick backdrop mansion to take pictures outside, a glowing fireplace with an elegant mantle for our (suddenly due to weather) inside wedding. It is beautiful and Steve and Jen are excellent to work with as well. Their quick email responses and their ability to go with the flow (we had an escape room themed wedding) was wonderful. I highly recommend this location, the amenities and the pure privacy of it all is worth it. Let alone the gorgeous view. Reviewed on 12-12-2019

Steven and Jen worked with us to understand our vision and timeline for our wedding to make sure everything went perfectly. We had some rain before our ceremony and they were quick to get everything dry and ready again for guests. The Estate is absolutely breathtaking (inside and the grounds) and photographs so well. Highly recommend!! Reviewed on 04-11-2019
Breanna Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 After extensively researching and interviewing wedding venues, my fiance and I decided on The Estate at Sunset Farm. Steve & Jen were extremely responsive, prompt, and professional, unlike a lot of other venues we interviewed. What we likes about their venue was their unique Estate on their gorgeous farm property. The farm has all the looks of an operational farm without the farm smell! Even my guests that do not like farms loved The Estate at Sunset Farm! It feels like vacation when you step onto their property. As you walk through the property, you get all sorts of different flower fragrances. Depending on the time of year, they have a large variety of beautiful blooms, my favorite being the wisteria, sure to make you and your guests want to kick back and stay awhile... They have many other options including lights, televisions, and horse photos! Their horses are extremely well taken care of, gorgeous, and friendly. The Estate is clean, with lots of detail. They worked well with our wedding planner and all our vendors. For example, we had a flower installation design to hang over the dance floor and they were so responsive and quick to work with our florist to figure out how to get it done. The end result blew our guests away, it was so enchanting. They were also extremely catering to us and our needs- I even called them the night before our wedding with a freak out, bridezilla moment (created by my guests, not the Estate) and they were so kind, understanding, and helped me to work around the problem efficiently so I could get rest before my big day. I would also like to say that their staff is extremely sweet, just like the owners. I would highly recommend your event at The Estate at Sunset Farm because, not only is the property itself worth the mulah, the people running the show are serious sweethearts who are worth investing in-- because they will 110% be devoted to you and your event. Thank you guys so much for helping our wedding to be the day we've been dreaming of since we were kids! I will always remember The Estate at Sunset Farm! Reviewed on 07-08-2019
Dominique Couser(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-01-2019 The venue was perfect! Leading up to my wedding, we had consistent meetings to make sure everything was on track. They allowed us to deliver the items the week of and made sure the spaces was ready the day of. The day of my wedding was nasty weather but they were constantly mopping the floors to make sure everything was perfect and that my dress was ruined. Also the bridal party walked outside and they cleared a path in the snow. All the staff was very professional and helpful! Would recommend this venue to anyone! Reviewed on 03-02-2019

Steve was great throughout the process of getting ready for our wedding at the estate. Any time I needed to get a hold of him with any questions he would get back to me in a timely manner. The estate is beautiful and our guests loved it. The icing on the cake was having one of his horses (Ivan) come out for pictures with our guests. I highly recommend this venue because it's beautiful, modern, and chic. I couldn't of imagined having my wedding anywhere else ! Reviewed on 17-10-2018
knottief1c4766597892786 (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2019 Our wedding day was awesome thanks to The Estate and its staff. They helped us achieve absolutely everything we wanted and we were lucky the weather turned out to be perfect for our ceremony. However, our indoor reception was SO AWESOME! Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful and different this place is- the double staircase in the entry way, the three full service bars, the balcony view to the dance floor, and on, and on, and on! We rocked the dance floor the entire night. I wouldn't change anything about our wedding day. Reviewed on 27-07-2018
Susan Lewis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2019 At first I was worried about planning an outdoor wedding ceremony, but knowing we had a couple of very pretty inside backup options inside the mansion took most of that stress away. We had our ceremony on the lawn by one of the white trellises which created a beautiful backdrop that was already there. The ceremony was followed by appetizers and a cocktail hour in the flower garden. Thankfully we didn't have to change our plans because the weather was perfect. Our guests moved inside the beautiful mansion for our reception and it was amazing! Thanks to The Estate at Sunset Farm, our outdoor dream wedding and indoor reception - ALL IN ONE PLACE - became a reality! Reviewed on 27-07-2018

I cannot express my full gratitude for the owners and staff of this facility. Our day was amazing and epic because of their preparedness and professionalism. Jen, Steve, and Fred helped with every detail we missed and never complained about our unfortunate lack of preparation. Steve seemed to be everywhere at the same time showing up frequently to make sure everything was ok with both sets of parents, myself and the bride, and each of the vendors. From mopping minor spills to standing by as a safety person for our sparkler exit, coming through with forgotten napkins, and more other details than I probably don't even know about..... What a great and historic day for my wife and I day. What an amazing facility. Reviewed on 06-07-2018
Alliee Reeves(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 STILL NOT OPEN! I have no idea how these weddings had happened in fall of 2017 since the venue has been under construction for so long. We toured in October 2017 and there were not any floors in the venue. 90% of the photos you see are staged photo shoots. The venue is a great concept but keep in mind, it is still a farm. When you walk in the back yard you will see metal chainlink fencing and additional buildings. We were told that the venue would be completed by January 2018...we finally booked with a different venue. Such a shame. Reviewed on 24-02-2018

They aren't even open yet. Period. Under construction. Delayed our wedding by a full year due to this, and they still aren't open. Toured them on Jan. 4, 2018, TONs of work left to do. They aren't truthful. Said they had passed electrical, plumbing & HVAC inspections-- nope, not even the rough inspections-- I called the county. It will be beautiful once opened, if ever opened. Don't book until fully operational or you are in for a lot of extra stress. Reviewed on 25-01-2018
Elise S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2017 Review from the 1st bride to get married at Sunset Farm :) My wedding at Sunset Farm was absolutely perfect. The Estate is a stunning backdrop for a wedding. Due to unforeseen delays in renovations, our ceremony and reception both took place outdoors, but because of the beautiful grounds and flawless summer weather, I didn’t miss having use of the interior space at all; we had our ceremony on the front steps of the Estate and tented the back patio for our reception utilizing a rented dance floor and the exterior bar. Steve and his team are friendly, dedicated, and all went out of their way to ensure that my day went as smoothly as possible. Reviewed on 04-10-2017
Katie Grobmyer(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 My fiance and I viewed this venue a week ago and we were very disappointed to find that the interior of the home is still under construction and the outside of the estate looks nothing like what is portrayed on their website. The venue will be very nice once it's completed but we felt it was deceiving to advertise this as a fully functioning venue option when it's not even close to being finished. We were told that it will be completed by the end of the summer but there is still a lot of work to be done. The owners should have been up front with us when we scheduled a tour plus they should mention the construction on their website so people aren't caught off guard when they arrive.

Jeannie Stauffer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2017 This place is AMAZING!!! We can't decide on what Estate location to choose for our ceremony because there are so many! I love that you can plan something outdoors under the front yard willow trees or on the back patio under the wisteria, but also have a few ceremony options inside like the two-story fire place or double curved staircase incase it rains. Talk about versatile! We are spending our entire wedding day here... using the bridal suite to get ready in the morning, having our ceremony on property, followed by a cocktail hour for our guests while the bridal party is photographed, and then our reception inside the mansion that evening. The staff has been super helpful giving us ideas on what we can do and they are very flexible and willing to work with us to make our day exactly the way we want it. We can not wait to celebrate our wedding day here. Reviewed on 27-02-2017
