Fairview Farm Events Reviews

We feel incredibly lucky to have chosen Fairview Farm Events as our wedding venue. From the moment we first visited, we were struck by how stunning the property is—rolling hills, water views, and an elegant, rustic charm that feels both timeless and welcoming. Every detail of the space feels intentionally designed for meaningful celebration.

One of the biggest game changers for us was the on-site accommodations. Having beautifully maintained cottages available for our families and wedding party makes the entire weekend feel like a full experience rather than just a one-day event. It offered us the rare opportunity to slow down, connect, and really be present with the people we love most.

Another standout is the curated list of vendors Fairview provides. Every recommendation we explored felt like a trusted professional—affordable, excellent at what they do, and familiar with the venue and its flow. That level of comfort and experience has made the planning process feel so much more manageable and enjoyable.

The team at Fairview has also been so thoughtful and responsive. It’s clear they genuinely care about each couple and go the extra mile to make sure the day reflects your vision.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

If you are getting married in the greater Richmond area, you owe it to yourself to visit Fairview Farm. Our wedding experience at Fairview was nothing short of extraordinary. Fairview is nestled in a buccolic setting that remains true to its roots as a family dairy farm while providing modern, impressive accommodations. They have different packages depending on the size of the wedding. We rented the entire property and were able to provide accommodations for more than fifty out-of-town guests. Debbie, Blanton, and their team took care of every detail imaginable to make our wedding weekend a magical one. They also provide a list of preferred vendors who can work seamlessly together. And unexpected weather is certainly not a problem when you're at Fairview. We had 150 guests and our ceremony was originally intended to take place under a tree. When a cloud burst unexpectedly appeared on the radar less than two hours before the ceremony, within twenty minutes the Fairview team had moved and perfectly rearranged the wedding venue to the pavilion overlooking a pasture. Months after the ceremony we still had family and friends raving about how perfect Fairview's setting and facilities were. We cannot thank Debbie and Blanton enough for making our wedding such a memorable one.

I don't even know where to begin. I have never written a review before but Debbie, Blanton, Colon and Maria at Fairview Farm made such an incredible impact on our lives that there was no way I could not share my experience and hope to help future couples have their dream wedding like we did.

We were very tight on our budget and Debbie was so understanding and respectful of that. We went with the premiere weekend package but the date we had chosen was a weekday. They wanted us to have our dream wedding and created a "Weekday Wedding Weekend Package" for us so that we could still enjoy everything their standard weekend package had to offer but on a weekday. All of our family and friends were out of state, so they wanted us to be able to have them stay on site too. They worked so hard with us to find us the right vendors and give us the wedding we were hoping for. They were always so transparent with us from the start so you always felt you were getting an honest opinion or an honest recommendation.

One of the biggest things, however, was their responsiveness when things did NOT go as planned. We had a wedding date in January but my husband and I both got COVID just 6 days before the wedding and had to postpone it. Fairview responded so quick to this. I messaged the wedding planner for the venue (Chelsea Moring, also an absolute gem) and she immediately reached out to Fairview. By the time I called Fairview myself to give them the news, they had already gone through their calendar and had two potential dates within 2-3 months that they were prepared to move the wedding to. They helped me figure out what to do next in moving the date and they comforted me because it was heartbreaking to be that close to the wedding and to have family already getting into town only to have to put a pause on that excitement.

They treated us like family from the start and took care of us as they would their own family. They made our wedding everything we had hoped it would be. And our families and friends? They could not stop showering the venue with compliments. It really was a dream to have Fairview for our wedding. So yes, I HIGHLY recommend them!

Where do I begin? I couldn’t imagine not having picked Fairview Farm as our wedding venue for our winter wedding. My now husband and I knew we wanted a December wedding and we wanted a venue that had separate enclosed areas for the ceremony and reception. I was set on a rustic barn style venue and when we found Fairview, it checked all of our boxes and more. Debbie and Blanton were so responsive and attentive to every need and question we had throughout the entire wedding process. We chose Fairview’s premier package which included the venue from Friday - Sunday, set up for the rehearsal dinner Friday night and for the reception on Saturday, three out of the four houses on property (The Farmhouse, The Cottage, and the Hay Barn) + a game room with sleeping arrangements, music/DJ, a wedding planner, a catering allowance and bakery credit, and so much more. It was well worth it!! We added on the 4th sleeping accommodation (The Dairy Barn) which then allowed us to have up to 50 people staying on property for our wedding weekend. Options for sleeping accommodations near the property are slim as it is in a rural area so the on property accommodations were a must for us and made everything so convenient. Fairview’s preferred vendor list was filled with amazing vendors and I am so thankful for who I chose! Having this vendor list to choose from made everything seamless. All the vendors had worked at Fairview many times and had worked together many times so this made coordinating everything a breeze - almost like I wasn’t even planning a wedding! I couldn’t have been more thankful for a better group of people to work with over the year. Fairview’s property manager, Colon Mcartan, is an absolute angel! He was available to show us around property leading up to the wedding, gave us access to the facilities several times throughout the year so we could look at decor and plan, and was all hands on deck for the wedding weekend. Whether it was helping us set up the live Christmas trees we had brought in, helping with set up of any decorations, directing traffic day of - no matter what we asked of him, he was happy to help. Then, he even dressed up as Santa Claus during our reception and surprised my husband and I! We absolutely loved working with him and everyone was so appreciative of his hard work. He is surely the backbone of FF! If you’re looking for an all-inclusive, rustic style venue for your upcoming wedding - look no further. Our experience with Fairview Farm was an absolute dream and we are so happy this is where we chose to start our forever!

Everything and everyone at this venue was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t asked for any place better for my daughter to get married. There are no words to describe it any better than best day ever at the best place ever.

Such a beautiful venue. They really went above and beyond to make our day magical!

Our daughter just had the most AMAZING wedding at Fairview Farm Events!! This is a truly special place that feels like home to its guests. We had the entire farm just for our family and friends - whereas some other venues may have multiple weddings going on at the same time on different sites on the property. Not the case here - as the entire farm was ours to use and enjoy and my daughter could pick anywhere she wanted for the ceremony - so nice to have that option. She had a beautiful weather day so rain wasn't a worry - but it was nice to know they had us covered if that was a possibility. From the first interaction with Debbie and Blanton, to planning our event using their fanastic tried-and-true list of vendors, to being able to visit the farm on muliple visits to look at the free props we wanted to use, and to the execution of the most amazing day for my sweet daughter and son-in-law , I can't recommend this venue enough!! Lovely views all around, the get-ready areas are beautiful and comfortable, and the overnight accomodations are fantastic if you decide to use those. Everyone with worked with was so polite and professional. If you are thinking of touring, make sure you do! It is so beautiful inside and out and they have thought of everything to make it an enjoyable and stress free time of celebration for your family and friends. Fairview Farm is truly special!!

This place is breath taking and a dream wedding! There is places to stay on site for your party and there’s even a game room for the guys.
The sunset is amazing and the best time for pictures.
Staff is the best and very friendly and over all this place is the BEST!

I had my eye on this venue for a long time. When we toured the venue it was everything I ever dreamed of. Mrs. Debbie and her husband answered all of my questions and helped meet all of my needs. The venue is very well kept up and the houses on property are such a bonus feature that allows for my fiancé and I families to bond before the wedding.

My fiance and I are getting married next October at Fairview Farm. As soon as we toured the venue we fell in love with it. It is the perfect spot for a rustic farm wedding where friends and family can stay on property and don't have to worry about a ride back to a hotel. Fairview made booking vendors for our big day super easy by providing a list of preferred vendors for anything and everything you can think of. Debora has been so accommodating with all of my requests and is very quick to respond. So far, our experience with Fairview has been amazing and stress-free. We can't wait to tie the knot there!!

I knew the moment I stepped on this property that Fairview Farm was it. If you’re looking for a venue where you and your family can relax for the weekend and spend quality time together on property, seriously look no further! Debbie and her team have thought of everything with their packages and make wedding planning easy. They have also been incredibly accommodating and reassuring as we deal with the current pandemic. So excited for our upcoming wedding here!!

Debbie and Clayton are the most wonderful, joyous, and hardworking people along with everyone who works for/with them! Once we toured Fairview Farm there was no doubt in our minds we wanted to get married there. When you first go on your tour, everything Debbie tells you is exactly what happens on your day and there are no surprises. We were able to visit the Farm a few times to show our parents, do our final walk through, and my bridal shoot. So when it came to our wedding day it truly felt this was our second home and where we were meant to get married. We rented all the houses on the property and everyone was in awe of the beauty of the property. There are some venues that are just a location that you rent but Debbie and Clayton make this place feel like a home. They go out of their way to make your big day memorable. The amount of decorations they have on site is unbelievable! I could go on for days but to truly experience Fairview Farm you have to visit and we promise you will not regret it! Fairview Farm will always have a special place in our hearts! We look forward to going back in the future.
