It's a bit of a hike out to Fearrington, but worth it for the change of scenery. It's a popular…read morevenue for weddings, with it's open-air country side and grazing cows. 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 LOVE this place. Family and I went for Halloween this year. It was my first visit and it was…read morequite memorable. The book store is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. 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!!

Although our family was mourning, we knew we wanted to host something special that would really celebrate Mom's life with her friends. Oh, and this was under COVID restrictions! Kayce and Joanie were the PERFECT pair to pull this off. They were creative, fast, communicative, and - most of all - loving and caring. The outdoor ice cream social they coordinated could not have gone any more smoothly. They calmly resolved the few problems that arose without batting an eye; they retained their unquestioned "can do" attitude. They have the event planning expertise and connections that you want when hosting any important event. AND, they are a real pleasure to work with!
