Decorate with dried flowers, ribbons and reclaimed antique farm equipment for an updated vintage wedding.
The Event Tent. This 40-foot by 120-foot open-air structure can seat up to 250 guests with plenty of room leftover for the dance floor. The tent is an all-season venue, with sides fastening snugly and a door that closes in the event of rain. There are large cathedral windows in the tent walls so you can still enjoy the beautiful mountain views. The tent can also be cooled or heated for all-season comfort.

It has been beautifully updated and redesigned as a small indoor venue with large, modern bathrooms and a bride and groom suite for the wedding party to prepare for the event.

Our History
Because the farm was established in 1828, the wedding venue is steeped in tradition and making memories. A renovated barn, complete with bride and groom dressing suites and tastefully replete bathrooms, tent and accouterments, pristine and unique views of the Blue Ridge and Appalachians mountains and an eager staff all combine to make the experience On Sunny Slope Farm one that you’ll never forget. A singular bell stands at the top of the hill. A bell that has been rung for every major event on the farm for almost two centuries. From births to marriages, to various celebrations, this bell is a symbol that beckons the whole valley to listen and know that a beautiful and lasting memory is being made on your wedding day.
Guests Arrive
Guests are arriving, excited tittering ensues, music is playing, the ceremony has begun and everyone witnesses the union of a beautiful couple against the backdrop of rolling green hills. It is a lively yet relaxing evening under the tent while speeches are made, food is eaten and dances are completed. Friends relax and challenge each other to a corn hole match while enjoying a beverage.
An ever-present, yet noiseless staff is always in the backdrop making the experience as comfortable and effortless as possible. A sunset melts into the distant Appalachians Mountains and golden rays disintegrate into a twilight sky of blue. As night wraps its chill around the venue and people gather comfortably around pit fires for more intimate conversations and warm lighting. After an evening of romance, friends, family, beauty, comfort, and mirth, the couple is whisked away and the night comes to a close, laughter still ringing through the valley.
This was an evening for which the bell was made over a century ago. And this was an enchanting day of celebration and the unification of two lives. Because this was the experience On Sunny Slope Farm.
