Shire horses, red oaks, and a Georgian mansion that remembers how to host.
The Sunset at Estate Farm started as a private equestrian estate — 162 acres of pasture, woodland, and the kind of quiet you can only get twenty minutes from a city but a world away from one. Over time, friends started asking if they could hold weddings here. Then friends of friends. Then strangers who had heard about the willow tree. So we built a team, opened the gates a few Saturdays a year, and decided to do it properly.
We don't double-book. We don't rush. The estate hosts a single wedding per day, and the gates close behind you the moment your party arrives.
It's a deliberate choice. It costs us bookings, and it's the only way we know how to host.
Georgian-style architecture, red brick, limestone trim. Originally a private residence for a Dayton industrial family.
The property is purchased, restored, and converted into a working shire horse farm. The red oaks along the drive are planted.
A family wedding under the willow tree. One hundred guests, a string quartet, no plan for a second one.
The carriage house is converted into a climate-controlled reception hall. The loft becomes a second ready suite. We hire our first events team.
Approximately 45 weddings per year. Horses still in pasture. Willow tree still standing.
The gates close. The signage stays subtle. Your wedding is not a backdrop for the next couple's tour.
Pricing is public. There are no "inquire for pricing" traps and no surprise service fees on your final invoice.
The estate is a working farm first. The horses, the oaks, and the gardens were here before us and will be here after.
A tour takes about 45 minutes. Bring whoever's helping you decide — parents, partner, planner.
