Our Exquisite Double Curved Staircase

Timeless and Classic (with or without added decor) our double curved staircase is a favorite indoor location for photos and gathering.

The Grand Salon

Two story ceilings with balcony views into the foyer and grand salon make it a focal point of the venue.

The two story brick fireplace surrounded by floor to ceiling windows that allow the venue to be filled with amazing natural light. The Grand Salon is an epic space for indoor ceremonies, bridal party tables, and a HUGE dance floor.

The Verandah

Utilize our outdoor verandah for cocktail hour or extension of you reception area.

Guests love to mingle on the verandah both before and after dinner. You can also view or interact with our amazing shire horses at this private and exclusive equestrian estate.

The Sunset Shires at Sunset Farm

Our Majestic Shire Draft Horses love to interact with guests and pose for photos with our couples and their guests.

Book a shire horse appearance and treat your guests to a rare and memorable experience they will talk about for years to come! Although the Shire is the most popular heavy horse in England there are less than 4,000 Shires in the world, becoming a near extinct breed. True gentle giants, these horses are amazing in every way. They are beautiful, calm, confident, strong, agile, reliable, and sweet. These horses can ride, drive, compete in dressage, be used as beginner or advanced lesson horses, as well as work on the farm. Sunset Farm has a shire breeding operation and loves to share these majestic horses with you and your guests!
