Capacity & Layout
Sunflower Meadows is laid out around its scenic 47-acre farm, giving couples a naturally beautiful outdoor setting for the celebration. Couples can exchange vows outdoors amid the farm’s country landscape and celebrate the reception in the venue’s spaces, letting the farm scenery carry much of the atmosphere, so the day flows naturally from an outdoor ceremony to a comfortable reception. The expansive 47 acres give couples room to spread the ceremony, cocktails, and photos across the property, so the celebration never feels crowded. Because the venue hosts everything from weddings to reunions and corporate gatherings, the family team is well practiced at events of many sizes and styles. That combination of a spacious outdoor farm setting and dependable event spaces suits both intimate weddings and larger celebrations. Having the ceremony grounds and reception spaces together on one 47-acre farm keeps the celebration connected and wrapped in country beauty.
