About

Sylvanside Farm, Loudoun County's largest barn venue uniquely offers two charming historic barns exclusively for each wedding. Sylvanside is an historic property originally established in 1774 and the grounds remain meticulously manicured today with breathtaking scenic views of mountains, ponds and fields from every vantage point on the property. During your wedding, you have private access to the farm’s 25 acres of land, two barns, two cottages, the manor house and the hair and makeup salon. This venue exudes old-world charm among the stone barn and wooden barns, rolling fields, and formal gardens and will elevate your rustic wedding into one filled with elegance and style.

Facilities and Capacity
There are numerous locations on the property to host an outdoor or indoor event. Sylvanside Farm is the only venue in Virginia to include two barns for your celebration. One can be used for your cocktail hour and the other for dinner and dancing. This means there is a built in rain plan as either barn can be used to quickly move a ceremony inside if necessary. Also included is a manor house, 2 cottages for overnight stays and rustic smokehouse on the property to use for your wedding ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, engagement party, or elopement. As many as 225 guests are welcome for a sit-down reception (with ample room for photo booths, large dance floors and bars) The venue includes both upscale ceremony and reception tables with beautiful Tuscan Cross Back Chairs for your reception. The barns are breathtaking with massive vaulted ceilings and elegant light fixtures and chic bathrooms. The houses on the property can serve as get-ready rooms for you and members of your wedding party as well as accommodations for you on the wedding night. The entire property is wheelchair accessible and there is ample parking. Valet and shuttle services are also easily accomodated.

Services Offered
Sylvanside offers wedding packages with catering and beverage services choices from our preferred list. Outside catering options include a buffet, family-style meal, or plated and food trucks and other fun options for desserts or late night snacks are easily accomodated. The venue welcomes outside vendors with prior approval to help execute the wedding. The farm includes a list of complimentary offerings to use during the big day, including Clydesdale horses for any photos. Event items available include banquet tables, elegant wooden cross back chairs for reception, ceremony chairs, lighting, altar/arch, and a huge array of vintage furniture. An event planner will be with you during the planning and your catering team will set up the ceremony and receptions spaces to your specifications.

Most Amazing Venue With Awesome Owners and Staff

We LOVED our experience at Sylvanside. We had to reschedule do to COVID, and the owners were so amazing and flexible and helped make the transition smoothly from April to November. When our day finally came, they were helpful and thought of every detail. The whole experience was organized and the cottage was a beautiful place to get ready. The bridesmaids LOVED the salon and the groomsmen enjoyed the Hunt Box. All of our guests were in awe of the beautiful scenery and the breathtaking barns. Having the rehearsal there the night before was also a huge bonus and aided in ensuring the wedding day went smoothly. There is not one thing I would change about our experience! We also benefitted greatly from their recommended planner Amelia who was FANTASTIC, organized, and flexible. Their “preferred vendors” list also helped during the planning process. If you are looking for a breathtakingly beautiful venue with amazing attention to detail and awesome owners, this is the place!

Beautiful Farm, Historical Charm

Sylvanside Farm was our first and only venue visit for our daughter’s wedding. The beautiful grounds and historical buildings on the farm made it an easy decision for us all. The owners, Terri and Jeff, have restored their property with utmost respect to its historical charm. Having on site lodging allowed both families to spend quality time together and hosting the rehearsal dinner on site made for an all around relaxing weekend.
The curated list of preferred vendors, which Sylvanside provides, was very helpful and each vendor that we selected from their list was top notch. Terri and Jeff were very accommodating and responsive throughout the planning process and I highly recommend their venue for your special day.

Beautiful venue, amazing experience!

My husband and I held our wedding at Sylvanside Farm this past September, and we had a wonderful experience! The farm is beautiful, including both barns, and the various sites you can choose from for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was great being able to experience the entire property. We chose to have our ceremony by the pond, cocktail hour in the stone barn, and reception in the poplar barn. We also chose the 46 hour package, meaning we could stay on site the night before, and after, the wedding. So we got access to the houses on the property as well, and they were perfect! They came fully furnished with everything we could have needed. It also took away the stress of having to travel the day of the wedding.

We want to thank Jeff and Terri for helping to make our day so special. They provided a list of recommended vendors that led us to our coordinator, dj, and caterer, all of whom we loved. They also provided a large variety of included items (decor, tables, chairs, furniture, lawn games, etc) that really saved us time and money. They were very helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process, and we couldn’t recommend them more. We are very happy with our decision to get married at Sylvanside Farm—there isn’t one thing we would have changed about the venue or the day

Sylvanside Farm was the best venue ever for a wedding. So beautiful! The hosts were fantastic- above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect!

#BestVenueEver! Sylvanside Farm was incredible- authentic, beautiful, deer even made an appearance beyond the pond during the ceremony! The hosts were incredibly helpful, organized, professional, one step ahead of us to make sure our weekend was perfect! The hosts even suggested an airbnb for my family to stay in about 2/10ths of a mile away- so convenient and relaxing to have 3 generations of family together! Their communication was top-notch so that we were prepared and the wedding day went seamlessly. The stone barn was awesome for the cocktail reception. The barn was perfect for the dinner, dancing, buffet, and photobooth. Just an awesome day and weekend! We highly recommend Sylvanside Farm!!

Can't believe this isn't viral

My friend is getting married here and she has seemed cool as a cucumber with how supported she feels from the owners. The grounds are romantic as you can get filled with rustic and vintage looking items, greenery and wildflowers and a gorgeous lake. I'm happy for her that she was able to find a place like this, but honestly can't believe it was available for her given the quality of care and type of venue this is. If you're a bride or friend of a bride or family member helping a bride absolutely jump on this place!

Hidden Gem

My friend is getting married here and I cannot believe this place is real. It is STUNNING and she has only raved about how easy the coordination was. If you or someone you know is looking for a seamless wedding planning process with unreal views, absolutely point them in this direction!

Picture perfect venue and easy coordination

The quality of the service and communication at Sylvanside as been incredible. I felt so overwhelmed with all of the details that go into wedding planning and they made me feel so assured and calm, that I could just relax and look forward to/ enjoy our wedding. I can't believe this place is tucked away in Northern VA. It looks like a farm straight out of the European countryside!

Sylvanside is one of a kind. Terri and Jeff have created the perfect setting for stunning weddings, there is not a bad view on the property. They have thought of every detail and provide meticulous support every step of the way. We had our intimate ceremony by the pond with the barn and farmhouse in the background - I couldn't have imagined a better wedding day.

Havard Events Havard Events Wedding Planners

As an event planner I am always on the look out for new and unique venue spaces. I found Sylvanside Farm while researching venues for a client looking for a barn for her wedding. I reached out to Terry and Jeff via email to learn more about the property. Terry was so enthusiastic as she shared the story of how she and Jeff acquired the property and painted a picture of its beauty, history and attributes that make it an ideal event property. Two months later I was able to visit Sylvanside Farm and meet Terry and Jeff. I was blown away by what I saw. Terry and Jeff have a vision and are working hard to make this property a perfect choice for couples looking for special place to say I Do. They shared their plans and asked for suggestions and listened intently as I provided advice. In just the few months since I first visited they have made so many upgrades. Gorgeous lighting in the barn, a golf cart to move guests, tables and beautiful bow back chairs, new flooring in the barn, a fire pit, etc. Sylvanside Farm is a venue I will refer over and over to my clients looking for a quintessential Virginia wedding venue. When you book your wedding the property is yours for the entire weekend. There are TWO barns, a manor house, a one bedroom bridal cottage, a 3-bedroom home and a cute little space to do hair and makeup. Did I mention the Clydsdale Horses? And there is Jeff and Terry, the owners, who sincerely want to do everything they can to make your event amazing.

As a photographer, I visited Sylvanside Farm and not only is the location gorgeous (with beautiful locations for photos and a ceremony), but the owners, Jeff & Terri are delightful! They take pride in their property and have thought through many details to create a relaxing and fun environment for weddings and their guests! I can't wait to see all the beautiful, romantic and love filled weddings that will be hosted at this historic location!
