On Sunny Slope Farm

ideas on how to make things go smoothly. The setting is incredibly gorgeous. The bridal suites are full of character and the bridal party enjoyed them throughout the day. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable!

never forget! Everything about the venue and staff was perfect. This place exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend On Sunny Slope Farm as a venue for your wedding or event.

our daughters wedding!

. We highly recommend.

elodie to coordinate the day. About the venue: My husband and I really wanted a place where our guests would have other things to do besides eat and dance. The grounds were beautiful to look at and walk around. Cornhole games were included. Cows from the neighboring pasture came over to visit! The farm was also able to easily accomodate having a tethered hot air balloon so everyone could ahve rides! All of my guests talked about how beautiful the place was. We honestly did not need many decorations, as the tent, barn, and farm were so beautifully prepared! About the service: Harry was super responsive even during the busy wedding/ event season. Melodie was a rockstar! When I arrived at the venue, she was there setting up. I was terrified when it started to rain, but she stepped in. She made sure the tent was quickly rearranged for a ceremony, made sure everyone was in place, and encouraged me that it would still be great. And it was! All of your expectations will be met and exceeded if you choose On Sunny Slope Farm!

the owner and our officiant, was so awesome and laid back from the first day we met him. He made sure that we were comfortable and prepared and his emails in the months leading up the wedding on what to do next were so helpful. Melodie and Marissa, our day of coordinators were so helpful in planning the little details and making sure we weren’t forgetting anything during our planning meetings. On the day of, they were so pleasant and helpful and Melodie even fanned out my dress when it was a hot September day!! Marissa constantly made sure I was doing okay, I had a drink in my hand and didn’t need anything. She also handled ALL of our vendors so that took any unnecessary stress off of us. Both made sure our event was flawless and so incredibly perfect. I can’t rave enough about these amazing people and this amazing venue. My husband and I are so lucky to have gotten married there and are honestly so thankful for everyone at On Sunny Slope Farm! We even got to take beautiful photos with the dairy cows and our guests loved them! The laid back aspect of the venue made for the perfect wedding!! Thank you ALL for an amazing wedding - I can’t say that enough.

day!! I recommend them to absolutely everyone! What an absolute amazing day we had!

y with lots of personalities! She was amazing as was Harry and every staff member we interacted with! Everything went so smoothly and everyone was so helpful. The venue itself is gorgeous! We stayed on the AirBnB on the property and that was amazing too! So much space and it made life so easy to be right next to the venue!

either from our guests or photographer) was absolutely breathtaking. Our friends and family made so many comments about how beautiful the venue is. They were also pretty excited about the farm animals too. It was sunny and a palmy 90 degrees outside on the day of the wedding but there was a constant breeze throughout the ceremony and during the reception. The bathrooms and bridal suites are air conditioned so we were nice and cool when we were getting ready. It was also nice to have the bridal suites (which you can keep locked) if you needed to have a couple minutes in private. My bridesmaids enjoyed that they could keep their things locked during the wedding without worrying about anything. The bridesmaids and I used the bridal suites to get ready and it was very comfortable. Our hair stylist and make-up artist had plenty of space and outlets to set up in the bridal suite to do hair and make-up. Harry was also our officiant and did a wonderful job in that role. He said personal things during the ceremony which really made the wedding very special. It was easy to chat with him during our pre-wedding meetings. We were able to ask for advice on certain aspects but he definitely encouraged us to do whatever we wanted for the ceremony. We used him to help us make reservations at Hotel Madison and he suggested the My Shenandoah Valley Wedding website and we were able to find all of our vendors through that which was SUPER helpful. Since many of our vendors had already done weddings on Sunny Slope and knew the venue, everything went super smoothly. Melodie was our day of coordinator and she was AMAZING. She helped with all the setup and preparation. She coordinated with all the vendors. On the day of she picked up flowers because mine died (insert sad face) and lunch for the girls. She was very helpful throughout the entire day and it really wouldn’t have been the same without her. Before the wedding the shuttle from the hotel was in an accident (luckily none of our guests were on it) and Harry took Melodie’s personal vehicle to transport guests to the venue. If that doesn’t show that they care about weddings and the couples, I don’t know what does. They are amazing, the farm is amazing, everything about it was amazing.

edding day unforgettable and everything you could want. Melodie was very proactive about setting up meetings to discuss the schedule for the day. The staff is very helpful and efficient! Would highly recommend

hing was perfect.

farm is already so beautiful that not much else is needed. Harry was absolutely PHENOMENAL to work with. He not only made our day that much more special, but his ability to communicate with us made wedding planning that much easier. He took the stress out of everything and even took the time to have a phone conference with our first time officiant to give him some direction for conducting the ceremony. Harry was always willing to be at our "beck and call" whether it was a phone call to discuss details about our day or to swing by the venue when we would visit for planning purposes. We highly recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married. We cannot getting imagine getting better service or beauty than on this farm!

paid almost 5k and some big things weren’t included. The day of, the staff tried to charge my family for heat- which was not supposed to be additional. Also, if I could have known BEFORE HAND where each meeting was to be held that would have been most helpful. It was always the house, egg house, or tent. I never knew which. It did become irritating. Over all, I would give the venue 3/5 stars.

d us through planning steps as well as a timeline for when we should have certain things completed. I highly recommend couples utilize their day of planner, ESPECIALLY if you do not have an outside planner like us. Monica was extremely organized, professional, professional while still unbelievably friendly, and helped make our day completely stress free. I seriously struggle to think of anything negative to say about the venue and staff. The preparation rooms are very nice, albeit a bit smaller than other places, but there was still space for 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, and the bathrooms are connected to the preparation rooms. The views are gorgeous in every direction, and the venue is conveniently close to Harrisonburg while still feeling like it is in a rural area. I would not change a thing. This is the first venue we visited and no offense to other venues, but I wish I had my time back from visiting others, that's how amazing On Sunny Slope Farm was for us.

ss of getting married on the farm an absolute breeze! The farm manager Melodie & our day of coordinator Monica were SO helpful during our planning process & helped make our day perfect. All of Harry's staff made sure our wedding day ran smoothly! All the Sunny Slope staff involved in our wedding day played a huge roll in helping us make our day special. From the chapel, you can see all 4 ranges of the Shenandoah & it's truly breathtaking. We loved every aspect of our special day & we enjoyed celebrating at On Sunny Slope. We would recommend the farm to anyone who is looking for great people to work with, with beautiful views that DON'T break your bank- we loved EVERYTHING about our day! Lots of Love- Jessica & Dave

or. Harry was great to work with, always kept in touch and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. My wedding was absolutely perfect.

going to rain, the setup of the chairs for the guests during our ceremony was different than what we had been told by Harry the day before. We were told that the chairs would be moved in the tent in an organized fashion. This was not the case. The guests were told to sit at their seating arrangements as assigned for the reception. This was NOT at all what I wanted. Everyone was too spread out and the setup looked very sloppy. I really wish the staff had informed me about this change before they decided to do this. Although the ceremony was beautiful, I was very disappointed that it was not setup the way I wanted it. Also, due to the rain, there was some flooding inside the tent. The dance floor became flooded. One of our guests slipped on the dance floor and my mother in law had to ask a staff member to wipe the floor up. I am thankful that the guest was not injured. However, I do think that if there were enough staff members to tend to this issue, then this could have been prevented. Also, trying to get our signed marriage certificate after our wedding proved to be a bit challenging. On Sunny Slope Farm is an absolutely beautiful venue and we all had a great time in spite of these issues. It was a great wedding but it was not perfect. I just wish the staff had been better prepared to handle the inclement weather.

ought about and provided, so you can do as much or as little as you’d like. The space is gorgeous and needs little decoration to enhance the natural beauty of this picturesque wedding venue. On Sunny Slope Farm is professional, they have several points of contact available which is so nice when your a panicky bride, I cannot say enough positive things about this venue, other than if you are looking for a perfect wedding venue, look no further!

sts. I couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else!

ceremony. The staff moved everything inside the tent instantly, kept the guests entertained, and everything went off without a hitch! It was perfect! The tent was spacious and accommodated our 184 guests with plenty of room! The planning process was very organized and helpful as Harry had everything broken down into what needed to happen at 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month. The venue is beautiful, the staff is experienced and helpful, and you will have a wonderful wedding if you choose to have it On Sunny Slope Farm!

to be here. I think when people heard we were getting married at a farm in Virginia they did not expect On Sunny Slopes. The scenery, the warm wonderful owners and staff, the cloudy and a bit rainy weather, and even the cows set the tone of a beautiful, cozy, simple yet lovely wedding day. We have almost zero complaints. Harry was a great communicator throughout the whole experience. Monica was a wonderful day of coordinator. We used her for decorations as well, which BLEW ME AWAY. We used the farm for both ceremony and reception, SO easy and beautiful. We had to move the ceremony to the tent because of light rain but even that just made it feel even cozier. And we exited the tent to a gorgeous rainbow spreading across the rolling hills. Just amazing. We also had our guests stay at The Hotel Madison which was beautiful and had the reception there. Again lovely with GREAT catering. YUM!! Feel free to contact me with any questions!

f this made our day so enjoyable and so much more than I expected it could and would be. Highly recommend for any large event you want s beautiful setting for and done right!

l or convenient. The vendors that I worked with were, in large, very familiar with this venue, so it made for ease of planning (I was the wedding planner). The venue owner was also able to provide the signing of our marriage license, bar service, tables and chairs for additional fees. The venue itself is very well kept. The day of went really well and everything came together and staff was on site to help with questions. Melody was new to the site (on site coordinator), and I had only met her the day before, but she was really wonderful. Everything was kept tidy and flowed smoothly thanks to Sunny Slope staff. The only "area of improvement" that I would recommend, is some of the back and forth with the venue owner. I am from out of town and had to do much of the coordinating via email and phone and it made for some miscommunication. The time of year with the weather also threatened some extra expenses, but it all ended up working out in the end. All in all, I couldn't be happier and would recommend this venue to other couples.

deas and my own, and didn't just focus on "the bride." He really helped me make "our" wedding. And the beautiful mountain backdrop really completed the feel we needed. We live in the valley and are outdoorsy people and this venue was perfect. While having an outside wedding and feel, thanks to Harry's tent and awesome heaters we were completely covered, dry, and warm even though it rained. Highly recommend for outdoor weddings.

e my vision and helped execute the perfect day. He was very detailed and answered all of my questions promptly. He also has a vendors list that I used a few vendors off of and it couldn’t have gone any more smoothly the day of. Everyone was very passionate about what they did and the venue itself is gorgeous!

y of hotels and accommodations for guests (Also it's a large enough town that you and your guests have access to Uber and Lyft). The Farm itself is beautiful, rolling farmland nestled in the gorgeous, forested hills of the Shenandoah. Everything you'd need from a venue is included: changing suites, a space for your catering team to do food prep, a bluetooth sound system, tables, chairs, and linens included, heaters if the reception tent gets chilly, and gas fire 'pits' if your evening is temperate. But perhaps the most valuable asset is Harry, the farm's owner. Harry is kind, patient, and takes great care to give each couple the wedding they're imagining.

e to have complete faith in Harry and Monica (our day of coordinator through the vendor) to handle anything that happened. Everyone that attended couldn't get over how beautiful the venue was, especially at sunset! Highly, highly recommend!!

ponded quickly to my emails and had good recommendations when we needed them. We opted to do the bar/insurance package and everyone raved about how nice out bartender, Kat, was. We also used one of their day of coordinators, Anna, who was just fantastic. There's no way everything would have gone as well as it did without her! The price is good and a lot is included, the getting ready rooms were nice and worked well with all of our groomsmen and bridesmaids. We got compliments from pretty much all of our wedding guests about how amazing the location was and I agree. Be sure to visit!

n our meetings with Harry and Monica (we added on the day-of-coordinator to our package) ahead of our wedding day. It could not have been as amazing without them! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the feel of it was perfect for us, our family and friends - it includes several spaces to hang out (really a space for everyone no matter what kind of wedding guest you are), great views, fantastic restrooms (guests loved the size and cleanliness of these), and great games available! The platform that's used to play with the set up of the venue is incredibly helpful too and fun to use to visualize everything. The team at Sunny Slope has really seen it all and really took so much stress out of wedding planning for my husband and I. They really care about their clients and want to make certain that your day is exactly how you imagined it. They have great vendor connections and recommendations, are very open about decor, are very flexible with setup, and overall are just incredibly friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this venue to future brides & grooms!!

vendor you are using that is familiar with the location has nothing but rave reviews and thankful we are getting married here!!

ay. Their process for making sure all the details are in place made for a worry free wedding day. It was priceless.

history to all the stories that have found their beginnings on the Farm. Harry and his staff were could not have been more attentive to our needs, and often times knew what we needed even before we knew. On Sunny Slope Farm is the best wedding venue in the valley!

eason to have your wedding or any special occasion at Sunny Slope Farm!

utiful scenery, wedding coordinators, bartenders... you name it! Harry is great to work with as well. The day went so smoothly. I could not have asked for a better venue for such a great price!

He even allowed us extra time the day before the wedding to prepare our flowers when they were delivered late! Overall Harry was very accommodating and professional from our preliminary meetings to the end of the wedding day! I would highly recommend this venue!

. Harry is quick to answer any of your questions and help you with whatever you might need. They take care of SO many of the details and provide tables, chairs, linens, trash haul away, bathrooms, and even have ice available at the venue! Worth every penny! It was a great choice!!

y helpful and I wouldn't have changed a thing....except maybe taking advantage of more of his numerous vendor and package options!! There is a reason this place comes so highly recommended!!!!!!

ion of organic beauty, rustic charm, and modern-professional touches. The owner, Harry, was an absolute JOY to work with and brought a calming, genuine presence to all our meetings. I felt entirely supported throughout the planning process and during our special day. I highly recommend this venue and suggest you look no further than On Sunny Slope Farm - because it truly is the best :)

rience from planning and preparing to day of wedding. I hope we can go back to Sunny Slope for one of our friend's weddings soon!!

ating, too! Harry and team really made our wedding an experience of a lifetime!
