    This venue represents Loudoun County at it's best!

    I really did not want to like this place, in all honesty, I was over the whole “Barn Wedding Venue.” I almost crossed it off our list without looking at it, but I’m so glad I decided to drive by. It was a raining, cold December day when I decided to check out Sylvanside Farm. As soon as I pulled into the driveway, I felt the charm of this place. As ugly as the weather was that day, the farm was still beautiful. Once I walked into the large reception barn, I was hooked. I called my fiancé immediately and told him this was the perfect venue for our wedding. The other venues we looked at did not offer as much as Sylvanside did and the reception barn was large enough to hold the amount of guests we had. We also loved the option to stay there for the whole weekend. The pictures online really don’t show the true beauty of this place, you have to be there to experience it in person. We loved that no one else we knew had been married there before. Teri & Jeff Fanning of Sylvanside Farm are the most wonderful venue owners you could ask for. They made us feel at home from the moment we first stepped foot on their property and they worked really hard the day of our wedding to make everything perfect for us. So many of our guests told us that it was one of the most beautiful venues they had been to in Loudoun County. There’s just something truly magical about this place & it was so hard to say goodbye to!

    We cannot say enough good things! My now husband and I found this place through airbnb, and we fell in love with the cottage. Come to find out they host weddings and we were sold on our location for our ceremony. Terri and Jeff were so great, giving us tours, accommodating lots if special touches to our ceremony, and always being available and responsive for questions. Both us and our guests had a fabulous time feeding the horses, walking the property, hanging out in the barn. And our photographer was thrilled that every inch of this place is just waiting for a photograph to be taken! We recommend both the cottage (great for setting up and as a honeymoon suite) and the stone barn! Note that the wood barn is suitable for much larger weddings and renovations will soon be complete (our wedding had 20 people and we were swimming in plenty of space both indoors and out). I actually hesitate to let this secret out, because my husband and I definitely want to visit for anniversaries!

    Have you booked your venue yet? Good! Call Sylvanside Farm IMMEDIATELY! Terri and Jeff, the owners, are incredible people. Simply incredible. Once you meet them, you will come to know what every other review here is talking about. I cannot stress enough how important it was to Sean and I to book a venue based on the feeling it gave us and to know that the people involved with our wedding would have the same passion, love, and respect that we have for each other. Terri and Jeff are beautiful people who simply want to share their farm that they are so proud of with others and help every bride and groom have the best day possible. I couldn't have dreamed of a better venue.
    The farm is breathtaking. As stated by several, the pictures do not do it justice. You really must see it in person. There are so many options for ceremony locations and both barns are amazing...not to mention the craftsmanship. The history of the property lingers on the land and I tell my family and friends there is an energy to Sylvanside that is so calming and welcoming that will just come over you when you get there. I am beyond excited to have my wedding here in September of 2019. Every time I visit, there have been new updates made...Jeff is a power house and if he says he is going to do something, he does it and does it ten times better than you even thought it would be! When I have a bad week at work, there is nothing better than heading to the farm for Terri hugs and furry animal therapy!

    Perfect Weekend

    The weekend was perfect at Sylvanside Farm. Our rehearsal dinner on Friday night was fun filled and Friday night shenanigans with the bridesmaids at the cottage and then a beautiful wedding on Saturday afternoon. So many places on the farm for that perfect photo which we got a lot of. Terri and Jeff go above and beyond with every detail covered.

    Couldn't have asked for a more magical day!

    We happened across Sylvanside on our way to tour another venue and immediately fell in love. The property beautifully reflects the care and attention Terri and Jeff have put into it and it was such a joy to get to tell our guests some of the story behind the property and their restoration of it. Jeff and Terri were both super responsive and made sure we were staying on track with securing our vendors. For wedding coordinators, DJs, and caterers, they require you work with their preferred vendors (there are options for different price points), which we found helpful since it can be challenging to know who to go with given how many options there are! Going with their preferred vendors ensured we were working with folks who were super high quality and already had a great relationship with and understanding of the farm — ultimately making our special day such a success!

    We also opted for the 2-night package to give us some peace of mind since there were a few elements of our wedding that we wanted to DIY and highly recommend that route if available.

    Can't recommend Sylvanside enough!

    Magical and full of unforgettable memories

    Sylvanside Farm was truly the most perfect place to celebrate our wedding on June 2020 (small gathering) and 2021 (full event). We fell in love the moment we saw the venue in early 2019. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the owners, Terri and Jeff, and how they worked with us as we planned our wedding during a pandemic. Sylvanside Farm is truly beautiful and it has great range to host small intimate weddings or large gatherings. I would highly recommend visiting Sylvanside Farm to any couple looking for a wonderful venue because the rest of your planning will be made a lot easier as everything seems to fit perfectly into place around the venue. My husband and I will certainly come back to stay at the venue on a future anniversary to remember the perfect day we experienced with our loved ones during our wedding days.

    Perfect in every way

    I can’t say enough good things about Terri, Jeff, and Sylvanside farm.

    It is truly a dream wedding venue in every way. Sylvanside farm is an absolutely beautiful venue and you can truly feel the love in the air. Jeff and Terri have done an amazing job making this huge farm/venue feel like a home.

    The place honestly speaks for itself. It has so much character and you have to see it for yourself. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful and unique Sylvanside was.

    My husband and I will certainly be back to stay at the hunts box for a romantic weekend getaway and reminisce on our incredible wedding.

    I highly recommend Sylvanside to everyone!

    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!

    The Freed wedding

    Me and my husband had our wedding at Sylvanside and couldn’t have been happier! Jeff and Terri really went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and exactly what we asked for! They are so kind and sweet! I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for awesome scenery, kind hosts, fun atmosphere and just all around a good time! Thank you Terri and Jeff for making our day perfect!

    Perfect venue

    The moment we started touring we knew this had to be our wedding venue! Looking up their information and pictures won't do it justice, you really need to be there to experience it fully. This beautiful historic venue feels perfect for any occasion. There are multiple houses and barns on the property so it can perfectly accommodate smaller events or larger events. The owners are amazing and treated us like family. They really want to provide the best for you so that you can enjoy a perfect wedding day. This venue includes just about everything you need for a beautiful and stress free event. We loved planning our wedding here and couldn't have had a more perfect wedding day. We highly recommend experiencing the venue for yourself and meeting the wonderful owners.

    Lovely and Enchanting destination experience!

    As a wedding florist, Growing Wild Floral had a wonderful experience from arrival to take down at Sylvanside Farm. The owners, Jeff and Terri have taken this diamond in the rough to a unique shining star venue. There are many areas for the event needs like the amazing barns and gorgeous pond. for vendors an ease of set up, helpful staff, generous assistance and no issue parking. Enjoy yourself with a visit to this jewel in Loudoun.

    Special Place

    This is a fantastic venue with incredible owners! My wife and I had our ceremony and reception here on October 6th, 2018 and couldn't be happier with everything we experienced. The owners, Terri and Jeff, are amazing people and worked hard to make our day special. When we first saw the property in Spring of 2018, we were overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. At that time, the main barn was not yet complete but there was no hesitation in signing the contract because of what we saw just walking around the property. We would have been happy with the barn just the way it was when we first toured it but Terri and Jeff have done so much work since then transforming it into the beautiful barn we enjoyed on our wedding day. The perfect venue does exist and for us it was Sylvanside Farm.
    Terri and Jeff treated us like family and my wife and I are so thankful we had the opportunity to start our journey together in such a special place. I highly recommend going and seeing the property. The pictures are great but there is no substitute for seeing it in person and meeting Terri and Jeff.

    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!!

    Absolutely Amazing

    This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding on October 24, 2020. They are so helpful and responsive and they made the stress of wedding planning absolutely painless. Terri and Jeff are so helpful in recommending vendors as well. We couldn't love the more!!

    Bridesmaid

    Sylvanside Farm is a beautiful venue! The cottage was perfect for the bridal party getting ready and the girls had a great time getting hair and makeup done in the beautiful salon! Guests loved dancing in the barn and roasting marshmallows by the fire pit! It was a beautiful, fun night!

    Beautiful wedding venue

    Sylvanside accommodated our wedding after we had to reschedule due to covid. We booked our wedding with Sylvanside 90 days before our weddings and they made it happen! We stayed the night on the property which I would recommend. We enjoyed the fire pit and just walked to our houses after and didn’t have to worry about driving home after the reception. When we booked, we had already hired our dj, Sylvanside was flexible and allowed our dj, generally Sylvanside likes you to pick from their preferred venders. Their preferred vendors know the ins and out with the sound at sylvanside. So I had some concern about the sound volume initially, but they recently insulated the barn and we had no issues at all! Other wise the venue was beautiful and we had a wonderful time!!

    Better than what we could have ever imagined!

    It is truly hard to even put into words how truly incredible our wedding weekend was thanks to Terri & Jeff. From the very beginning of our planning process we felt welcome and taken care of every step of the way. The farm itself is truly the most beautiful sight and we could not imagine having our wedding at more beautiful place. Friends and family are raving a week later about Sylvanside and its natural beauty. I would live this day over and over again if I could and Sylvanside ( + Jeff & Terri!) are at the very core of that magical day. We are counting down the days until we can visit again. A remarkable farm that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

    I attended a wedding recently and this venue is gorgeous! The indoor ceremony barn, venue barn, vast views of beautiful Virginia greenery— everything. Definitely consider if looking for a barn venue!

    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!

    Our hosts, Terri and Jeff, were so welcoming and personable. They made sure that we had everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The farm itself is beautiful and serene, and we were given the liberty to roam their lovely green acres. We enjoyed learning the history of the 1700's era farm from Jeff and engaging with the horses and farm dogs. This is a beautiful, rustic setting for a wedding or other event, and I am pleased to give Sylvanside Farm my highest recommendation.

    Amazing Sylvanside - There is no other place

    The minute we stepped onto Sylvanside we knew this was going to be the place where we say I "do". A breathtaking venue that not only offers a serene backdrop but a place that is coupled by 2 of the kindest, sweetest owners.
    I look forward to writing another review, a review once we have our wedding but I would be remiss not to mention the flexibility that Sylvanside has provided to us during this unprecedented time. We just made the unfortunate choice to postpone our wedding out of safety and concern for us and our guests. Looking to reschedule for next year, Sylvanside has been by our side. With endless options and the commitment to making us happy has us convinced we would get married at no other venue. In this short time, Terri and Jeff have felt like family.
    If you are in search for a wedding venue that gives beautiful backdrops, that offers salons and cottages and multiple barns look no further.

    Like a fairytale

    Can’t say enough good things about this location and vendor. First, the price is incredible given the amount of space you get- 2 barns, 2 cottages, & a salon! Second, the team at Sylvanside goes the extra mile to make sure the day runs as smoothly as possible. Finally, weddings at Sylvanside are like a fairytale come true to life. It has a magical feeling!
