Continue reading to see my top 5 reasons on why you need to have your wedding at this gorgeous venue!

1. The farm carries romance and history in equal measures

This venue is different from all the others, as it includes a unique history. Settled in 1742, the historical grounds that the venue are found on belonged to a family of Quakers who hosted both Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War. By the end of the war, the family was stripped of all poultry and livestock. It wasn’t until decades later in 2018, that the unmaintained grounds were about to be bulldozed and turned into a townhome complex. Jeff Fanning and his partner, Terri, saved the land and revived it. 

Furthermore, Sylvanside Farm is now one of the most highly-rated wedding venues with intertwining romance and history. The farm holds magnificent views, historic barns, and polished grounds, all with an additional 25 acres of land and a freshwater pond so that you can have the perfect wedding! Subsequently, Sylvanside’s stone barn is the real charmer of the farm (built in 1744). It is the perfect space for intimate receptions, a covered space for indoor ceremonies, or as a cocktail reception with a built-in bar.
