We had the perfect day!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding venue. Fair Hills is STUNNING - if you are looking for an outdoor wedding location in lakes region, Minnesota, Fair Hills is the place to go. The venue is filled with lush greenery, flowers, and is seated right on Pelican Lake. The views are amazing, and there are plentiful activities for guests - fishing, golfing, pickle ball, tennis, a pool, basketball, a playground for the kiddos… you name it! And everything you could possibly need is on site. There are three different ceremony locations, a dining hall, a large dance area, and many other beautiful locations for pictures. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it was truly an unforgettable wedding weekend.

Beautiful and Relaxed

Our wedding at Fair Hills was about as perfect as it could have been! Our family and friends said it was great getting to spend the weekend at the lake, enjoying fishing, kayaking, swimming, golfing, and relaxing. The food was delicious and the staff is all very friendly and helpful! The location is absolutely beautiful and Fair Hills makes the process very convenient by offering the venue space, food, and lodging all together!

Wonderful Experience!

Fair Hills Resort is a stunning venue to have a wedding. The staff is incredibly flexible, smart, and accommodating. There was clear communication throughout the whole planning process and on the days leading up to the wedding. Beth and Liz made the whole day a dream and everything flowed smoothly. I couldn't recommend Fair Hills Resort more!

The most beautiful lake wedding experience

Not only did my husband and I LOVE Fair Hills, but so did our guests who came in from all over the country. Fair Hills has it all for a beautiful rustic wedding right on the shores of Pelican Lake and really shows guests what this area of the country is all about. We couldn't recommend Rebecca, Emily, and Beth enough, throughout our whole process they helped make it exactly what we dreamed it could be from setting up the day-of timeline to setting up tables exactly like we wanted them on the wedding day, it couldn't have gone smoother. The day itself seemed to be seamless, and Rebecca helped keep us on track so we could stay on our timeline we had determined ahead of time and the bartenders and wait staff were prompt and helpful. Also, definitely recommend the package that includes a ride for the wedding party on the boat, definitely one of our favorite moments.

Fair Hills Was Our Dream Wedding Venue

My wife and I absolutely loved Fair Hills! All of our family and friends got to stay in cabins in what felt like a shire-style village, resulting in everyone making friends and interacting with one another throughout the weekend. The venue was beautiful, filled with flowers and greenery everywhere and it felt even better than it looked in the photos. It provided for amazing photos, too. Everyone was easy to work with and very catering. We highly recommend Fair Hills!
