I was completely blown away by how fantastic Harry and Melodie were to work with. I was beyond stressed trying to plan my wedding and Melodie always took the time to check in with me and see how we were feeling the closer we got to the day. Harry was very thorough during our tour and was able to answer all my questions regarding the venue as well as Hotel Madison since we had so many out of town guests. They were so organized and helpful when it came to the rehearsal and the day of. They kept us in the loop throughout our reception to make sure that everything was going just how we wanted it to. Melodie was extremely proactive about setting up our meetings, and we exchanged several emails regarding specifics. The staff are always quick to respond. They think about every little thing, even the things that as the bride I did not even think about. I really enjoyed working with them, and the venue was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend this venue to other couples!

We had our wedding at On Sunny Slope Farm and it was the greatest experience from start to finish! Harry was so great to work with and very helpful and accommodating with everything. Melodie at the farm was wonderful to work with as well and made the entire process very easy and painless. She was responsive and she and Harry both really worked with us to give us everything we needed to make our day great! It ended up raining on our wedding and we had to move everything into the tent, but even being a last minute change Melodie and her staff made it easy and were willing to do literally anything we wanted, whether that meant waiting it out or moving everything inside the tent. It was clear she really wanted it to be perfect for us and was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. We had an amazing wedding and we and our guests all can’t stop talking about what a great day it was, even with the weather doing what it did! Thank you Harry, Melodie and your entire staff for giving us an amazing wedding experience. We would highly recommend this venue to ANYONE!

We got married on May 26th, 2018, and it was more than we could have ever imagined. We are living in Virginia but our families and many friends are from California so they came far 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 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 initially picked this venue after visiting the first time. We got in our car read some reviews to confirm that what we were seeing and hearing from Harry weren’t “too good to be true”, after the 25th raving review, we cancelled the rest of our venue visits, called Harry and put our deposit down. Never looked back.

Harry was a great communicator throughout the whole experience, he helped guide us through the venue details, he made our website, and hosted us at his new hotel The Hotel Madison where our guests stayed and where we also had our rehearsal dinner (we had the kitchen cater and it was AMAZING). Busy guy, still managed it all amazingly. Monica was a wonderful day of coordinator. She is very calm and organized, helped keep me calm and focused on my guests and having a great time on the day of. We used her for decorations as well, which BLEW ME AWAY. She never tried to up sell us, in fact, suggested we cancel a few things to not over do it, as the venue itself is so gorgeous not much else is needed.

Feel free to contact me with any questions!

We couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect day and that was in large part due to the venue. Harry and his staff along with the beautiful views and accommodations made the day an absolute dream! If you want your wedding done right and in one the most beautiful settings VA has to offer for a more than reasonable price, On Sunny Slope Farm is your destination!

Beautiful location for a wedding! We rented out the air bnb on site and it really made for a fun weekend for us and our wedding party- the location couldn’t have been more beautiful 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.
