Dream Wedding

Our wedding at On Sunny Slope Farm was everything we dreamed it would be - even in the cold and rain! It was truly a beautiful day thanks in large part to Harry and his crew. He definitely helped to put us at ease so we could enjoy our day. I think one of the best parts about the whole wedding process was how most of our vendors knew Harry and had all worked together before and that seemed to be extremely helpful. If you're a DIY bride without a planner, On Sunny Slope Farm make it a piece of cake.

My wedding was beyond perfect at On Sunny Slope Farm!

My wedding was beyond perfect, and Harry and Melodie made it happen! As a bride who was originally planning a 2020 wedding, the impending COVID-19 pandemic threw a huge wrench into the already overwhelming process. Harry Jarrett was there since my first inquiry, and maintained open communication, professionalism, and patience as I painstakingly analyzed the decision of our wedding date. After initially booking in October 2020, Harry continued to work with me and provide options as the date drew near and as COVID had its ebbs and flows. Even after my drawn-out decision over the first date, Harry was able to move it to May 2021 when our circumstances changed, all the while continuing to be supportive and kind while answering the dozens of questions that I had in the months prior. The hotel room block process was a complete success thanks to the event coordination staff at the Hotel Madison – Brooke Driver and Manuel Coca were amazing to work with and instrumental in helping me track reservations. In short, Harry exceeded all of my expectations of customer service by corresponding with me for over a year while being nothing but patient and flexible as I obsessed over every decision.

Melodie Taylor took my vision and ideas for the wedding and made it all happen. After our initial meeting 3 months before our May 2021 date, I knew I wanted her to be the day-of coordinator. She brings a wealth of wedding planning experience and uses every ounce of it to inform her bride on what to expect and how to best execute the ideas whizzing around in their head (I blame Pinterest). During our in-person meeting, Melodie was great at identifying what was most important to me about the wedding. She was easy to talk to and a great listener. She also helped fill my knowledge gaps about weddings and debunked my misconceptions that I got from way too many movies. Once the ideas were there, Melodie made the timeline with me, and then it was off to the races! Not only did I love working with Melodie, she also worked well with my other vendors. Melodie met with my caterer during our in-person meeting, and she also has a great relationship with the bartender. Shout out to Cat Snead (our bartender) who single-handedly served our guests amazing drinks while keeping the line short! On our wedding day, Melodie kept true to the timeline and checked in with me to make sure I was eating, hydrating, and enjoying my wedding. The whole day was better than I could have imagined. My guests still talk about how much fun our wedding was! Melodie has nailed the perfect balance of involving the bride throughout the planning process, and taking care of her bride throughout the wedding day.

Harry and Melodie, I cannot thank you both enough for such a beautiful day.

They’re Wonderful

The day of coordinator Melodie was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding going anywhere near as smoothly as it did. She took so much stress away and helped make the already beautiful Sonny Slope Farms even more gorgeous just adding to our big day. Couldn’t recommend the venue or her any more!

Wonderful!

A great venue with lots to offer at a great price. We got married On Sunny Slope Farm in October, 2020. Our day of coordinator, Melodie, was super to work with and made sure our day went as smoothly and stress free as possible. Harry ensured we had a wonderful ceremony that captured our relationship perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

Absolutely perfect!

My husband and I got married here back in October and it was absolutely perfect. Harry and Melody were both super helpful and did their best to make our day special. The location is beautiful as well with rolling hills and mountains in the background. I loved everything about my experience with them. This is one of the most beautiful locations with a very reasonable budget. I would highly recommend to anybody looking for a wedding venue. It’s beautiful year round.

The Perfect Day

On Sunny Slope Farm was super easy to work with and my husband and I got a lot of compliments about our wedding. Harry and Melodie were very attentive and had great expertise. We used a lot of the vendors that were listed on their wedding website and we were satisfied with everyone. We got married in front of the chapel and our wedding pictures turned out great. We had the perfect day and would highly recommend getting married at this venue if you're looking for a farm-chic wedding.
