Fairview Farm Events Reviews

Fairview Farms is an excellent option for those who want to host their friends and family for a wedding weekend instead of just a wedding day/night. The accommodations are lovely and a great way to maximize your time with guests. We had a tropical storm that knocked the power for a few minutes during our ceremony--but luckily, Fairview is equipped with emergency generator systems that kicked on immediately. If you're looking for a rustic venue with great staff and accommodations--look no further!

My daughter and now son-in-law, Natalie and Cory Matheny, were married on December 29, 2024 at Fairview Farm and it was amazing! The entire experience was just what Natalie dreamed of and the venue was magical. The farm was fully decorated for Christmas making the holiday themed wedding exactly what Natalie and Cory wanted. Our guests were in awe of what a perfect space Fairview Farm was for a wedding. So many people reach out to me to tell me what an wonderful venue and event it was and that was echoed by all of us in the wedding. Everyone at Fairview Farm Events and their vendors were a pleasure to work with and I can't say enough about how beautiful and well kept the property was. The wedding party stayed on property for the weekend making the experience more like a destination wedding, creating a lifetime of special memories!

Weddings can be a stressful time, but the staff at Fairview minimized any stress we had. And, all the planning, decision making, and coordinating was all worth while to see the smile on the bride and groom's faces throughout the entire weekend. Congratulations Fairview Farm Events on your well-deserved Virginia Living Magazine’s top wedding venue recognition! Thank you again for everything you did to make my daughter's wedding a dream come true.

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!

Fairview Farm Events was the perfect venue for my son’s wedding! The entire property is beautiful, offering numerous spots for stunning photos and multiple options for ceremony sites. We had the wedding outside under an oak tree, which was absolutely lovely. The venue also provided two distinct areas for our event—the pavilion for the cocktail hour and the barn for the reception—creating a wonderful flow for our guests. The barn was air-conditioned, which was a huge bonus given the hot weather that day.
Accessibility was key for us, and the venue being ADA-compliant ensured that the bride's mother could attend comfortably in her wheelchair. The venue also offers a wide variety of decorations, which helped us cut down on floral costs while still having everything beautifully arranged to our tastes, thanks to the help of their on-site coordinator.
We were worried about rain, but Fairview Farm’s flexible rain plan was a lifesaver. The staff allowed us to wait until the last minute before deciding whether to move the ceremony indoors, giving the weather time to improve. Thankfully, we didn’t need to use the rain plan, but the flexibility and support were so appreciated. The entire staff, from the facility manager to the coordinator and DJ, were fantastic. The facility manager helped with everything from parking to setting up tables and chairs, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. Their vendor list was also incredibly helpful—each vendor was familiar with the venue, making the whole process seamless. The caterers and bartenders worked well with the coordinator to make sure the setup was perfect, and the photographer knew all the best photo spots on the property, giving us beautiful memories to look back on.
Additionally, the venue offers several houses for the wedding party and guests to use, which is such a convenient feature. The groomsmen loved the game room while waiting for the ceremony! Overall, everything about the planning and execution of the wedding went off without a hitch, and I can’t thank Fairview Farm Events enough for their amazing service. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized place to host a celebration.

For those who don’t love super contemporary venues and appreciate a rural charm, then Fairview Farms is an incredible option. We chose their premium package and changed our wedding to a wonderful weekend event. With our package, we got access to the whole venue from Friday morning to Sunday morning. We also got to use all of their on-site accommodations (btws you can keep about 50 people on-premises) which are all gorgeous and fit in with the wonderful overall landscaping of the place. It is a bit tucked away from a lot of shops and stores, but that added to the feeling of literally being in our own little world. It made the most amazing day of our life feel like a movie.

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.

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!!

Starting to plan a wedding can become very overwhelming! We had looked at multiple venues and read reviews before we started to make a list of ones we wanted to visit and Fairview was on the top of my list by the pictures they had on their site, the description of things they offered and the reviews that were left! It fit what we were looking for as far as a one stop shop per se! We could have our ceremony, reception and even some family and wedding party stay on property for the weekend, what more could you ask for! So we decided to book a tour and I don’t regret it one bit! Debbie was quick to respond and worked with me to schedule a tour and was even flexible when we were running a little behind because we were coming from out of town. They texted the day of to make sure we could find their venue alright and where we could meet them! The venue was just as it looked in all the pictures and videos we had seen online and was exactly how I pictured it! We had just come from another venue that looked a little better online then it actually did when we pulled up, so it was nice to pull into the farm and it be just how I pictured and seen it! Blanton greeted us as we pulled up and gave a fantastic tour and let us explore every part of the venue. He was friendly and answered all the questions we had and I especially loved the stories and history behind the farm and why they started a wedding venue there and the fact the he helped build/design the cottage and the lofts in both the barns! So cool! We felt very comfortable there and could picture getting married on the farm! They offer everything we are looking for and more! Decorations, multiple places to hold the ceremony, props, rehearsal and reception areas and amenities for the wedding party and family to stay on property for the weekend! Every picture they had and stories they told of all the various weddings they’ve hosted were just breathtaking and just made choosing FFE so much easier! Debbie and Blanton are just wonderful and so friendly and they make you feel like family! It was an easy decision for us to book our wedding at Fairview and we can’t wait until December to see everything put together!

Fairview Farm Events was the first and only venue that my fiancé and I toured. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the add on option of on-site accommodations for family and friends was an added bonus. Debbie and Blanton are extremely knowledgeable and helpful towards finding local vendors. We are SO excited for our upcoming October wedding!! Don’t hesitate to check them out for yourself!

Fairview farm is a beautiful property offering great wedding packages that are all inclusive- with many awesome preferred vendors to use. They are responsive with any questions & very friendly! We just had our wedding in September & the property was decorated sooo nicely for Fall- we had a perfect day with family and friends & Colon- their property manager is incredibly kind and helpful! Their planning team that comes with the package is also amazing and made my day stress free and seamless. The beds in each house are also pretty comfortable for a good nights rest before wedding day. Incredible experience and i look forward to coming back to the farm for future photoshoots.

The only thing I’d change is the check out time. Check out time is 10am the Sunday after and the night of our wedding when it wrapped up- we were stressed about everything clean and in order for the early check out the next day. It would’ve been nicer to ease out Sunday morning and not feel very rushed- but i understand their cleaning team has to come in and prepare for the next event!

I would definitely recommend Fairview farm to anyone getting married!!

From the very first phone call, I knew that Fairview Farm was a special place! We began planning my daughter’s wedding, as most families do, by arranging visits and tours of venues. We had a very specific date in mind and were determined to find the perfect venue to match the special date. During our first call, Debbie made sure that we felt important and heard. We planned our visit for the very next weekend! We were met at the venue by Blanton, who gave us a heart warming tour of the stunning farm, that has been in his family for over one hundred years. We could feel the pride and hear the love in his voice for this very special place. His tour was detailed and thorough. After our tour we met with Debbie who greeted us with excitement and enthusiasm. Although she hosts many events at her farm, we felt like ours was the most important to her. She walked us through all aspects of the packages, accommodations, and vendors while answering all of our questions along the way. By the end of our visit, we knew we had found our venue! The look in my daughter’s eyes said it all! We were so pleased to have found a beautiful venue that will be able to accommodate our families and be the backdrop for our special day!

Debbie and Blanton, the owners of **Fairview Farm Events** in Powhatan, Virginia, have been exceptional to work with. When we scheduled our tour with them the day after Christmas last year, we knew we wanted to secure the most popular wedding date of the year. Not only did they immediately put our minds at ease, but they also went above and beyond by offering additional services and options that made our decision incredibly straightforward. We fell in love with the idea of an outdoor farm setting, and the fact that it's a beautiful rustic chic venue with accommodations for guests sealed the deal. Throughout the entire process, they've been fantastic partners, guiding us every step of the way. Blanton and Debbie's commitment to preserving their family-owned farm, which has been in operation for over 100 years, shines through in every aspect of Fairview Farm Events. It's truly a special place for weddings and events! 🌿🌸🌾

Words can't describe how wonderful this experience was. Accommodations and organization was incredible. The venue housed our entire family, and the game room was a bonus!!! Everyone did their job and it was flawless. Would love to go back and stay there just for the relaxation. I would definitely recommend this farm to anyone. It was also beautiful!!!! We got up early and had coffee by the fire pit and listened to the cows and had breakfast with everyone. Then we started our day by getting ready for Maggie (daughter) to get married to a wonderful man (Darren)!. People today are still talking about how wonderful the wedding was and how much fun they had. Thank you again!!!! The Baughan Family -

Everything with Debbie was amazing! Our venue canceled on us a month before and she was able to pull our day together and get everything set up in less than 30 days! Our family and friends were all amazed with the property and how beautiful everything was! We were so pleased and felt so lucky for all the accommodations Debbie made for us she was truly wonderful and a joy to work with. Our day was truly everything we could’ve hoped for and more. All of our family and friends want to go back already, not only is it a truly amazing wedding venue but very peaceful and relaxing the weekend you are there. All the staff is amazing and very helpful, Chelsea was our wedding coordinator and her team did so well. We were so happy with our day and everything felt so stress free thanks to all the amazing people Debbie has!

Our experience was wonderful. Fairview had amazing suggestions for vendors who all had wonderful service. Almost all the vendors had a military discount which was very helpful and had a discount for booking for Fairview. The accommodations are cozy and there's plenty of space for your wedding party and close family.

Nick and I had the best day of our lives on October 14th, 2023. Debbie, Blanton and Colon were the most accommodating hosts for our weekend. It rained on our wedding day, but the team at Fairview made it as amazing as I imagined even with the rain. The ability to have 50 friends and family stay with us on site made the weekend incredible. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The memories we made in October will last us a lifetime!

The minute we drove to the property of Fairview Farm, we knew this is where we had to get married! Everything about the venue was absolutely perfect and we could not have chosen a better place!

We got married in November and we were so excited to be able to kick off the wedding weekend by having our family stay on the property with us to celebrate Thanksgiving before the wedding activities began!

The venue had everything you would need and were always so helpful and responsive to any questions we had. Our guests have not stopped talking about how it was one of the best wedding venues they have ever been too.

Debbie, Blanton, Maria and Colon were amazing to work with and we highly recommend checking out everything they have to offer!

Don't hesitate another second - book this venue for your wedding event! After touring several wedding venue options our daughter and new son-in-law selected Fairview Farms for their big day last fall. They could not have made a better choice. Trust us, you get that vibe as soon as you step on this amazing family-owned farm. The long time owners Debbie and Blanton Gordon are absolutely among the most caring and hospitable hosts that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. This is truly a family run business where pride of ownership clearly shines and outstanding customer service is the norm! We are so deeply appreciate everything that the entire Blanton family team did to provide our "kids" with a perfect wedding weekend experience!!

Couldn’t say enough wonderful things about this venue and the grounds manager. Even when we had a tropical storm come through and a slight power outage during the ceremony the emergency generator cut on and kept it all moving forward!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Fairview Farms.

Very very friendly and responsive staff that operate the venue. Beautiful area for welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception.
AMAZING homes / barns on the property that can provide comfortable living arrangements for ~ 50 guests.

Fairview also includes a lot of stuff in their packages to make your life easier. They provide a list of preferred vendors with contact information, guides/checklists, and they offer great discounts + extras with their premium package (including the best wedding planner ever).

The farm itself is gorgeous and the reception barn is immaculate. People loved hanging out in the fire pit and game room area at night.

Pros: essentially everything
Cons: none

Definitely tour the venue and see what you think!

Choosing this venue was the best decision we ever made!!! Not only is Fairview Farm a picturesque place at any time of year…but it is family owned and run by one of these most friendly couples. The facilities manager was incredible and all of the vendors we had had worked with the venue before. Any question we had was answered in a timely manner and they worked with us when something was important to us. Debbie and Blanton are a 10/10 , as is Colon and Maria!
They have a variety of packages and offer you soooooo much within those packages. We didn’t have to look outside of what was offered at Fairview for much.
Furthermore, the living accommodations were so well appointed. It felt like a vacation for the weekend we stayed. Not to mention, 50 people can stay on the property! Which was perfect for our friends and family. It was so nice being in the property for more than 5 hours!
If you go with the premium package, lots of things are included. It made it extremely affordable for us that guests were able to stay on the property and subsidized the cost of the venue.
It was soooo worth it and our wedding was beautiful !!! We will cherish these memories forever.

We loved this venue and will be back !!! :) it is totally worth checking out !!! And only 45 min away from Short Pump area.

Words cannot express how amazing this venue is! We were fortunate enough to spend the entire weekend here, and without a doubt the venue, houses, lofts, and surrounding areas are gorgeous! All of our guests that stayed with us on-site, and all of the guests that attended the wedding were gushing over this beautiful venue! Debbie and Blanton are an absolute pleasure to work with, and they bend over backwards to accommodate everyone! Colon, the Venue & Facilities manager is AMAZING! We cannot recommend Fairview Farm Events enough!

My daughter had her wedding at Fairview Farm Events last weekend. Even though we are local a lot of our family is from out of town and having the ability to accommodate a large number of people on site for the weekend really made all the difference. I cannot say enough about the beauty of the venue, the accommodations and the team that they have on site. From the moment we arrived on Friday to our departure on Sunday all of our needs were met. Each house is thoughtfully decorated and appointed with everything you would need. There are so many special photo opportunities on property as well. The Owners were a delight to work with throughout the planning process and I can't speak highly enough about their facility manager, Colon - he is the best! Thanks again for an amazing experience, I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a world class venue.

Debbie and Blanton are the sweetest, most enthusiastic, most accommodating people I've worked with on anything, much less something as important as choosing a wedding venue. The place is gorgeous and has a ton to offer, but honestly the best thing about it is those two. They've been doing this for 10 years so have a ton of experience and great relationships with every vendor/service you could need, and it makes the process SO easy. And amazingly they seem as excited for every wedding as though it was their own family, even after 10 years! We knew immediately when we met with them that this was the place for us. Venue-wise, everything is spotless and beautiful and the surrounding landscape is perfection. We were really looking for a place where our family could stay with us for the weekend and were so lucky to find this, everything is gorgeously renovated and comfortable. You couldn't do better than to book with Fairview Farms.
