Yes! Do it now!

This place is truly spectacular. We recently booked with them and our experience has been incredible. They answered any and all questions we brought to the table, and we cancelled our other venue tours after viewing this place! It is really a weekend affair and we are SO excited to get married here!!

A venue for those who want the whole experience

I love the history of the property and what they’ve done with it. Everyone enjoyed being able to hang out Friday night after rehearsal and spend the night. It was a venue where every detail has been thought of. I love the decor shed! I didn’t have to do a bunch of DIY decorating. It’s a fabulous place!

Their beautiful property is perfect for a “destination” wedding! Everything is kept up to impeccable standards and we can’t wait to see it decorated

Everything is up to impeccable standards, and beautifully decorated. We cannot wait to see it completely decorated for our wedding! We wanted a place where we could have our two families stay on site, so they could get to know each other better, and this will be a perfect spot to do that. The staff and their approved vendors have been easy to work with, quickly responding to any questions that we have. What is often a very stressful time, planning for a wedding, has been much more relaxed thanks to our confidence in the staff and pro vendors.

We recently designed flowers for a summer wedding at Fairview Farms and the venue is beautiful, private and spacious all wrapped up in one . Great large area for the Bridal Gals and the men would just go crazy for the area where they can hang. One of a kind !
