While this venue appears to be gorgeous, LGBTQ couples BEWARE. After noticing several religious…read moreitems in their pictures, I emailed to ask if they were open to working with queer couples and got the following in response: "This venue is located at our Christian home. We personally have gay friends but we believe their behavior is a sin. I am a sinner and I believe we should love the sinner and hate the sin. The current law allows gay couples to marry. I think gay couples should respect the beliefs of others just as they want to be respected. " Clearly, they don't want to come right out and say we are not welcome, but they made it clear. Nowhere in my initial email was I disrespectful to them, so I'm not sure whey they felt the need to point out that we needed to respect their beliefs. A simple, "We can not accommodate your request at this time," would have been fine. We were not asking them to officiate our wedding. We were asking them if they would do their jobs as business owners, take our money, host our event, and keep their personal opinions to themselves. How their religious beliefs impact their business I don't really understand. It is really too bad, because as I mentioned, this venue looks absolutely gorgeous. However after the rude and frankly condescending email back, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest those who support marriage equality do not support this highly unprofessional business.

Brigitte is so nice and will direct you through what you need to do for the ceremony. She is very experienced and has been doing this for many years. She beats any wedding planner out there when it comes to directing what to do for the ceremony! Everything is clean and well organized. There is a place for the bride to get dressed. The space is large enough for bridesmaids to get dressed also and there are two bathrooms. It's so cool knowing you're getting married in a part of history that has been maintains properly by people who respect it. Brigitte is very knowledgeable about historical events and the history of the chapel so it was really interesting getting to know her and conversing with her. Overall, I would 100% recommend having your wedding here! It's a gorgeous place and you'll remember it forever!

The wedding was outside. It was extremely hot last Saturday. I got overheated and had to leave. I felt like I was going to pass out. I wasn't the only guest to leave.

I recommend you issue fans or use another means of coping with the temperature in the future. I heard the people who stayed had a good time later that evening.

First of all, the property is stunning. There are multiple options for ceremony sites and reception sites to accommodate everything from an intimate wedding ceremony to a 150+ person wedding. Shayla and Josh, the owners, take great care with their brides and grooms, and have done a great job of creating an affordable and accessible all-in-one venue. The Something Borrowed collection was a huge perk, having access to thousands of decor items at no added cost. I would highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a beautiful place to get married!

There's not really too much in the way of shopping -- a nursery, a cute two-story store with accessories, a cafe, a bookstore -- but the atmosphere is really inviting. Fearrington has several venues for events, including the main house, the Barn (which sometimes even partners up with McIntyre's for open-to-the-public author events), and smaller meeting rooms. So in addition to weddings, it's a good place for corporate functions. Lots of neighborhoods in Fearrington, too. If it's in your price-range and you don't mind the commute, it's a beautiful place to live. There's even a lake with surrounding trails.

I looked through their whole website because the people who work at Fearrington put a lot of love and work into the place. I didn't get to dine anywhere, but they have a restaurant and I think a take&go place. I could spend HOURS in the bookstore. My niece and nephew got to hear a story on Halloween. THe place was covered in pumpkin carvings and turnip carvings hanging from trees! SO cute. If I ever plan on getting married, this would definitely be an ideal spot for a reception, and possibly a ceremony. I've read about the Barn, and it was featured in the Today show. This would be a dream spot for any bride, I would think. Can't wait to go back when they light up for the holidays!!

His wife is also very sweet and showed us some cool wedding ideas/keepsakes. Jac did the best job for our ceremony. Everything he said was perfect and he had a few jokes to keep people listening and engaged. He wrote a beautiful, unique , and very heart felt wedding ceremony. He added a little message to remember my husbands father who passed. He even worked with our harp player to add music and prayer to our ceremony. His services also included the rehearsal and everyone was late to mine and he waited and helped me work through everything. He even stayed after the ceremony and all my friend and family just loved him! He made my day so special. I had a semi traditional wedding but Jac and his wife support all marriages and are some the nicest people I have ever met. I would highly recommended Jac or his wife to be the officiant for your wedding.

They were so understanding and to our surprise Jac was able to meet up with us that same day and marry us at the place of our choice.

We met with him a few months before our ceremony and he walked us through the whole process. We gave him vows that we wrote and personalized the ceremony with a family heirloom unity candle. He was always quick to respond to any emailed questions we had. He expertly guided our family through the rehearsal and made sure our ceremony was a dream come true. Reverend Ron's years of experience showed in his advice, tips, and professionalism. His prices are also very budget friendly, which was important to our extremely-low-budget plans. I'm going to recommend him to all of my and my husband's siblings if their ceremonies end up happening in the Raleigh area. Any couple would be lucky to have him officiate their wedding!
