  Fantastic experience with Gilda and the Fearrington Team for a flawless weekend weekend

  Booking this venue was the best and most important decision we made for our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about The Fearrington and the people that work here. Our families truly felt that this venue was the absolute best venue in the broader Triangle area (maybe even in the state??).
  
  First off, this venue is idyllic. Many of our guests who came from out of town remarked on how beautiful the area was. The gardens are stunning. The barn is a perfect event space for a large group. The Inn is the epitome of Southern hospitality. The entire village is quiet and peaceful. There are adorable cows in the backdrop. In short, the venue was both extremely elegant and very approachable. We think this made guests from all walks of life feel very comfortable in the space.
  
  Second, the food is absolutely incredible. This was important for us and a big reason that we chose The Fearrington (which has an acclaimed restaurant on the property). We wanted everyone to have a delicious meal and to eat their fill. We opted for the classic reception with different stations (the three we chose were the Beef Station, the Seafood Station, and the Southern Station). This was ideal for accommodating a variety of dietary restrictions and food preferences. At our cocktail hour, everyone was raving about the hors d'oeuvres. And after the cake, many guests remarked that they’ve never had wedding cake (or any cake for that matter) that was so delicious.
  
  Third, the wedding coordinator, Gilda, is one of the most competent, fantastic humans we have ever met. Gilda has clearly put “10,000 hours” in to hone her craft, which is to make your wedding day run as beautifully and smoothly as possible. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Gilda and her staff have thought of everything from water stations at the ceremony to attendants that bustle your dress. On the day of our wedding, Gilda procured safety pins for my mother-in-law and individual fans for some of our guests. She was a perfect combination of very calming but clear and direct. It was so easy for us to put our trust in Gilda to just make the day fantastic, which it truly was. We can’t say enough positive things about Gilda, especially when it came to her generosity and understanding about moving our initial wedding date in the middle of the pandemic.
  
  Fourth, hosting a wedding at The Fearrington is so much smoother than at many comparable locations because they do so much of the organization and planning in house. After seeing friends DIY their weddings, we knew we didn’t want that stress on the wedding day. The Fearrington makes it as stress-free as humanly possible to host a big event. From the flowers to the food to the décor, they can do just about everything. For external vendors, Gilda gave us recommendations for preferred vendors, which is how we found excellent people like our photographer (Krystal Kast) and our DJ (Willis Entertainment). On our wedding date, we didn’t need to leave the village the entire day. We had delicious brunch at the Fearrington restaurant, got ready in a spacious bridal suite, and walked out to the gardens for the ceremony. It was just about as smooth and painless as possible for a large wedding.
  
  Fifth and finally, there were endless small touches that Gilda and her team thought about that made things feel so special. After our wedding, as my husband and I walked back to our room, I said to him, “That was perfect, but the one thing I regret is that I didn’t get the cake because we were too busy dancing.” When we opened the door to the bridal suite, we were shocked to see that Gilda had left us a few wrapped slices of cake and a bottle of prosecco!!
  
  It was A++++ quality and service all around, and we feel so grateful to Gilda and the entire team at the Fearrington for giving us the best day of our lives.

It was evident that Kara poured her creativity and skill into our cake, creating a unique and delicious centerpiece for our celebration. The entire hospitality staff at The Fearrington Inn deserves applause. The ambience of the venue was enchanting, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day.

  A true fairytale wedding

  I cannot say enough about the Fearrington and Gilda!! First of all, just the ease of having flowers, cake, catering, even a wedding planner all in one place is SO worth it. They have their process nailed down and I was just along for the ride. I never had to worry that something would be forgotten or a minor detail would be missed - even after working on my wedding with Gilda for over a year. The food was absolutely delicious and all of my guests were raving about it. Our cocktail hour appetizers and signature cocktails were made completely custom for us and turned out incredible. The cake was an absolute masterpiece and the most moist, delicious cake I have ever tasted. They even made us a late-night snack of french fries. Angela is incredibly talented with the florals - she helped coordinate specific vase rentals that matched my color scheme and they were so beautiful. The bridal suite is gorgeous and had so much room for myself and 10 bridesmaids to get ready that morning. The staff are so attentive - lighting the guests' sparklers for the exit, even leaving two slices of cake and a bottle of champagne in the room at the end of the night. Gilda is a true fairy godmother. She was juggling another wedding rehearsal on the day of my wedding and you would have never been able to tell. She has such calm energy and made me feel so comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire weekend. I will be gushing over our wedding at the Fearrington forever!

  The Best People and Venue!

  Gilda is an angel that will not only coordinate your dream wedding but she will be there for you from beginning to end. She was incredibly supportive during the whole process and even more so on the day of the wedding. I could not have gotten through that day without her. The rest of the staff at Fearrington were lovely, helpful and attentive. All the guests raved about the food at our wedding which was also done by the chefs at Fearrington. Gilda and her team were able to give us our dream wedding even in the midst of the pandemic in a safe and beautiful way. Floral did an outstanding job despite there being issues out of their control. Cake was immaculate, beautiful and tasted amazing all while being gluten free! Accommodations for us and guests were so nice! Gilda and Fearrington Village was amazing and I can't say enough good things about the people and venue.

  Simple and Elegant

  Everything we needed was there, except a DJ and the photographer.
  
  The food was AMAZING. The desserts were exquisite. Gilda and her team had everything covered. She helped to keep the wedding timeline moving and I didn’t feel like I needed to try and take care of things. She and her team had it all.

  Truly the best!

  My husband and I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience getting married at Fearrington! It was honestly the most joyful and magical day of our lives. I couldn’t believe my eyes on the wedding day because it was all a dream come true: the cake, the flowers, the decor, and the food were all spectacular, not to mention having all our loved ones in one beautiful place! We had our rehearsal dinner on the barn patio, then got married on a gorgeous spring Saturday in the gardens and had our reception in the Garden Terrace. So many of our guests commented on how delicious the food and cake was, and that it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more-- the staff really thinks of everything, and there were countless small touches that made everything all the more special.
  
  Gilda at Fearrington is really the best wedding coordinator in the business. My husband and I felt that Gilda put her entire heart and soul into our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with her over almost two years of planning and she is incredibly helpful, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. She is absolutely lovely to work with and accommodated some unique requests for our special day. Gilda guided us seamlessly through the process of downsizing our wedding because of the pandemic, and was there for us every step of the way, even reminding us to enjoy the moment (because the wedding weekend flies by!). Thanks to Gilda, the day of the wedding was completely stress-free and I was able to be present and enjoy every single moment, knowing that she was taking care of everything. Most of all, we felt that she really cared about us as people. She worked so hard to make our wedding perfect and really went above and beyond. I know there are a thousand things she did behind the scenes, and we cannot thank her enough!
  
  I also cannot say enough good things about the rest of the staff at Fearrington. Bett and her team did a truly perfect job with the flowers. I have never seen more beautiful floral arrangements in my life, and I loved meeting and working with Bett. Kat designed and baked our wedding cake; it looked so beautiful and was incredibly delicious. We are so grateful to the entire staff at Fearrington. Everything was absolutely perfect and we would do it again in a heartbeat! We already cannot wait to come back to celebrate anniversaries and future special occasions.

  Gilda the Great

  The venue speaks for its self. I'm hear to talk about the real star of Fearrington Village: Gilda McDaniel. When you book Fearrington you are getting set up with a fantastic wedding planner that will get you the most out of your special day. I can not overstate the value of having Gilda coordinating our day. The venue does come at a bit of a price but I promise that it is worth having everything taken care of from one place.

  Perfection, Magical, Elegant

  Fearrington’s beauty, elegance, timelessness, and charm sweeps you off your feet the second you turn in. It’s hard to quickly put into words just how much Fearrington did for us. To start, Gilda and her team went above and beyond all of our expectations. From the magical ceremony on the steps of the garden to the flower arrangements Bet created, to the gorgeous and tasty cake Katherine designed and baked, to the stunning plated meals. Brian tackle all of our seating chart changes, even the one minutes before, like the pro he is. Every recommendation Gilda made was impeccable. From Krystal Kast who we adore to John Oliver our chaplain, to Arioso Strings who played throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. I truly wish I could hit rewind and marry Omar at Fearrington a hundred times over.
  
  Our original plan was to have a “small” 150 person wedding until an unplanned global pandemic hit. Plans changed, and Gilda was there ready to not only take on any challenge we faced but to knock each of them out of the park. Gilda and her team cultivated our unbelievably special weekend so responsibly, keeping our guests safe, while allowing us to forget what was happening around the country for a moment to enjoy our new chapter.
  
  We can't wait to see you for our first anniversary, Fearrington! 10/4/21

  Everything was Perfection!

  Let me tell you without Gilda and the dream team my wedding would have fallen to pieces. With the pandemic in full swing and the restrictions changing every other week it was so hard and stressful trying to come up with Plan A through Z. Gilda walked is through each hurdle and guided us in a way where the stress just disappeared.
  
  If you are looking for a timeless venue that has so many nooks for picture perfect moments, amazing food, the best cake/dessert ever, and the best people to work with then this is it!

  Smooth wedding planning, even during a pandemic

  I cannot recommend Fearrington Village as a wedding venue enough! We chose Fearrington because we wanted wedding planning to be as smooth and simple as possible. Fearrington provides that because they take care of food, flowers, cake, and all reception planning. Gilda instantly made us feel at ease and we knew we would be taken care of at Fearrington. She is extremely quick in responding to emails and makes your dream come to life. Fearrington worked with us to change our 250 person indoor barn reception to an intimate outdoor ceremony and reception due to the pandemic. They made the switch as painless as possible for us- we simply told Fearrington our visions for food, decor, and the timeline and they took care of the rest. The setting was gorgeous, the food was incredible, and we are still getting compliments from our guests on how wonderful an event it was!

She is extremely quick in responding to emails and makes your dream come to life. Fearrington worked with us to change our 250 person indoor barn reception to an intimate outdoor ceremony and reception due to the pandemic. They made the switch as painless as possible for us- we simply told Fearrington our visions for food, decor, and the timeline and they took care of the rest. The setting was gorgeous, the food was incredible, and we are still getting compliments from our guests on how wonderful an event it was!

  The most special place!

  I have nothing but amazing things to say about Fearrington. Every part of the village feels like a fairy tale, it's full of life and color.
  
  The Fearrington team is absolutely OUTSTANDING, they truly have it down to a science. Gilda, Fearrington's event planner, is a machine. I've never seen one human manage to be in so many places at once. She is all business but cool, calm and collected at the same time.
  
  Fearrington takes care of just about everything which makes the planning process so much easier - from flowers, to cake, to food and drink. My guests raved that it was the best reception food they've had by a long shot.
  
  Fearrington really made my fairy tale wedding come true and they were lovely to work with the entire way. I'll be making trips back for years to come, it is such a special place!

  A dream wedding and experience

  Working with the Fearrington was an absolute DREAM.
  
  Not only is the venue itself gorgeous, every single person that we worked with went above and beyond to make our day special.
  
  Gilda is a MAGICIAN when it comes to wedding planning. My husband and I joked that we never saw her the day of the wedding, except when we needed her, and she just popped up at the right time.
  
  The cake was the best dessert I've ever tasted, the flowers were beautiful, and the FOOD WAS THE BEST WEDDING FOOD EVER. So many of our guests have raved about the food.
  
  If you are lucky enough to snag a date at the Fearrington, please... do so. And stay on property.
  
  I cannot wait to come back and celebrate our anniversaries at the Inn!

  Book your wedding here NOW!

  Fearrington Village was the perfect place to get married on New Years Eve! Gilda was absolutely wonderful and made wedding planning easy! For the rehearsal dinner we booked one of the private dining room at The Belted Goat. It was the perfect location for a lovely rehearsal dinner. We booked The Garden Terrace for our wedding ceremony and The Barn for our reception and we couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out! Fearrington exceeded our expectations.

  Amazing venue!

  Gilda at Fearrington was absolutely amazing. There was never a glitch or stress moment in the planning process at all. I described my perfect wedding to her, and it was exactly what I received. From the planning, to the tables at the reception, to the fireplace behind us at the ceremony, to the day of getting ready. Everything was so easy. Fearrington is such a cozy environment, and the barn is absolutely stunning! Our wedding was over a month ago and people are still raving about how perfect everything was and to do it again! I am SO happy with my choice and couldn't imagine my wedding anywhere else!!!

  Wish I could give it 6 stars!

  We cannot say enough good things about Fearrington. This venue was STUNNING and it made the entire wedding planning process possible. With Fearrington, we had a full time wedding planner (Gilda - she is clearly the best at her job. We couldn't have done it without her!) as well as catering and flowers. Every interaction with Fearrington was simple, straightforward and extremely high quality. Our wedding was a dream, and it was because of the Fearrington. If it is at all possible, you NEED to have your wedding at Fearrignton!

  Gorgeous Venue + Amazing On-Site Coordination = Unforgettable Day

  Fearrington was by far our first choice for wedding venue, and we loved that they could accommodate both our ceremony and reception, making the day itself seamless for the wedding party and guests! We were planning our wedding from abroad, but working with Fearrington's on-site coordinator, Gilda McDaniel, was such a pleasure. She was responsive, straightforward, but also incredibly helpful in guiding us through all of our questions in planning the wedding, sharing her expertise and years of experience. Between the Garden Terrace for the ceremony and Barn for the reception, we were prepared for any type of weather. Even though we had our wedding in the heat of early August, guests loved having the chance to explore the gardens and check out the belties! We were also thrilled with the station setup we chose - the restaurant was able to prepare off-menu options for guests, and is generally well-known in the area for its top-notch food. We are still receiving compliments from our guests. Finally, the staff was incredibly helpful - Fearrington provided the cake and flowers, both of which helped make our wedding the amazing day it was! I would wholeheartedly recommend the venue and only wish the day hadn't flown by as quickly as it did.

  MARY STEVENS (Florist)
  My wife and I also had the privilege of working with Mary Stevens, who designed and produced all the flowers for our wedding in April at the Fearrington. After meeting Mary, it was obvious that she had all the ingredients you could ever want in a Florist: passion, care, creativity, organization and the ability to execute. Beyond that, it was obvious how important bringing our vision to life was to her. So much so that the day after our wedding Mary was in tears when hearing my wife say the flowers were everything she could have imagined. It’s not often you find people that are willing to invest their absolute all into a product, and it’s even more rare to find someone that cares about the final outcome as much as the customer. Our vision was by no means easy to put together, but Mary made it look easy. She listened designed and executed everything flawlessly at every stage. Our wedding was the best day of our lives in large part because of Mary Stevens, and for that we will forever be grateful. Mary is an incredible florist, creative artist and an even better person.

  GILDA McDANIEL (Coordinator)
  My wife and I had the privilege of working with Gilda McDaniel to coordinate our wedding in April at the Fearrington. While we had heard nothing but rave reviews, Gilda far exceeded our expectations. Gilda had the knowledge, commitment, organization, innovative thinking, creativity and communication skills to take our vision and turn it into a reality. Gilda not only cared about what we wanted our dream wedding to look like, but she also truly cared about Lauren and I as a couple. She did an incredible job balancing between supportive advice and execution. Our wedding day would not have turned out to be the best day of our lives without Gilda. What we feel most fortunate for, however, is knowing that we have a new friend in our lives. Gilda sets the standard for wedding coordinators and we would refer her to anyone looking to have a seamless wedding at the Fearrington.

  The Fearrington is a breath-taking venue and should be considered as a first choice for wedding rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception venue. Our daughter's wedding was a grand success and all our guests raved about the beauty of the The Fearrington and its surroundings; the lovely accommodations; the high-quality food; the deluxe spa; the wedding planner extraordinaire (Gilda McDaniel), who had everyone and everything completely under control at all times and thought of absolutely everything; the beautiful flowers by Mary Stevens of The Fearrington; the gorgeous AND delicious cake by The Fearrington's own pastry chef; and the courteousness of the staff. This is a TOP NOTCH venue and we are grateful to The Fearrington and its staff for making this an unforgettable experience.

  It is not often that I am at a loss for words, but to try and write what an amazing and magical wedding that our daughter had recently at Fearrington is almost too much to describe. From the moment we booked the venue, until the last candle was extinguished at the send off, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Gilda McDonald is not only the most amazing event planner ever, but also became a friend to call for any questions or concerns. Her level of professionalism as well her fun and caring personality made our experience one we could enjoy without worrying about any detail. She is simply wonderful!! The ceremony on the terrace followed by the reception in the barn were truly what dreams are made of. Mary Stevens and her floral team transformed both spaces into a winter wonderland. She listened to what my daughter wanted and created designs far beyond our expectations. Again, we felt we made friends for life. All of our guest also commented that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. We agree!!! Every mother dreams that their daughter's wedding will be the most special day ever. Fearrington, and the staff helped make this dream come true.

  Fearrington is a picture perfect venue for a wedding: numerous lovely lawns to choose from for a romantic garden ceremony, an equally lovely covered terrace in the event of rain, a spacious and attractive venue for receptions, replete with a lovely courtyard for outdoor cocktails, fantastic food, and a talented in-house florist, baker, and sommelier to expertly handle so many of the details. But the one greatest asset of Fearrington, bar none, goes by the name of Gilda McDaniel. Wedding coordinator extraordinaire, Gilda has a depth of experience rarely seen in this business. Her wisdom is outdone only by her patience, Zen calm, warmth, and professionalism. She makes a Fearrington wedding worth every penny. From our experience, Gilda can handle with aplomb just about any situation, and can provide free and reasonable advice on all aspects of the affair.

  I recently had my ceremony and reception at Fearrington and there are not words to express what a wonderful experience it was, from planning to the wedding day. Being in my first semester of a doctoral program, I had very little free time. Working with Gilda made everything easy -- she walked me through everything I needed to know, kept everything organized and on schedule, and made it so I had absolutely nothing to worry about on the wedding day. I had a vision but very little time to plan. When I walked through the venue on my wedding day it was beyond my dreams. Everything was perfect. The wedding went of without a single hitch and I cannot stress enough how effortlessly the whole evening seemed to flow because there was not one detail that had not been seen to. Gilda kept everything on schedule before the ceremony (even the groom and all his groomsmen), had everyone in place for the ceremony knowing exactly what to do. There were hors d'oeuvres and champagne waiting for the bridal party and family immediately after the ceremony so we could celebrate with the small group prior to cocktail hour. I could list many examples of how the staff went out of their way to make everyone comfortable, but here is one of my favorites: my sister, the matron of honor, had a five month old baby at the time and had gone into a small room to nurse the baby during cocktail hour. A female staff member noticed her and came over with a plate of hors d'oeuvres and a glass of lemonade so she would not miss out. I am so truly grateful to Fearrington for absolutely everything they did to the day I dreamed of and will remember always.

  We were thrilled with our decision to hold our wedding reception in the Barn at Fearrington. The food was delicious and we had several options for stations, plated, buffet, etc. We loved how the cake tasting was done and all the flavors were delicious. The floral designs by Mary were simply exquisite. I don't believe I've ever seen flowers so beautiful and numerous guests have written or called me to say the same thing. Mary and our planner, Kast Events, and other vendors Get Lit Lighting, Party Tables, CE Rentals, Greenhouse Pickers, and Cottage Luxe turned the barn into a show place that made us all teary when we saw it. I spent the night at the Inn the night before the wedding and the Fearrington team made sure the bridal party had sandwiches, water, and what we needed as we prepared for the wedding. Fearrington was the right decision for us.

  I knew from the first moment I toured Fearrington that it was where I wanted to get married. After 9 months of considering every other option, from local to abroad, I knew it had to the Fearrington. I not only had the best day of my life, but I had an incredible planning experience. The wedding planning staff (planner, floral designer, pastry chef) make the experience so filled with joy and excitement - they will create your dream day. I knew I wanted the venue to have a mix of outdoor and indoor options, and still be beautiful if the weather wasn't great. Luckily, the weather didn't affect my date, but I knew that the backup options at Fearrington would have been just as beautiful - which is very unique to a venue! I also wanted to focus on flowers, food, and low stress. Fearrington handles your flowers GORGEOUSLY - anything you can imagine, they will execute. They also provide all the vases/containers for your florals, so you don't have to handle that yourself. Fearrington also handles your food - and o my goodness people are still talking about the food. It was unlike any other wedding food I have ever eaten - it was INCREDIBLE. The venue provides all your linens, china, chairs, tables, and will handle any and every rental you might want. Handling the flowers, the food, the rentals, and all the planning (down to the tiniest details) ensured it was low stress! Even though my planner had many other brides, I always felt like I was her priority when we spoke. We were able to book a room at the Inn to get ready in, which was PERFECT. Every staff member makes you feel so special on your wedding day. It was the perfect venue.

  Fearrington Village is one of the more charming places in the southeast so it's hard to have a bad looking wedding here but it's the Fearrington staff that make this place truly exceptional. Starting with Gilda McDaniel, the wedding planner - she's smart, artistic and supremely capable. We felt like we were in total pro hands the whole time - she got our somewhat non-traditional vision and executed seamlessly while providing guidance when we needed it. She coordinated our vendors, came up with a super creative bustle for my somewhat unwieldy dress and came up to Matt and I and said " there's an unbelievable full moon out there - want to sneak out for a quick photo op?" She was there when you needed her and executing behind the scenes when you didn't inspiring full confidence and taking any stress we may have had out of the evening. Mary Stevens is a true artist when it comes to flowers, greenery and design. We wanted minimalist glam with lots of fresh greens, ivory flowers and candlelight. The Fearrington Barn looked magical - we had towering column birch branch and hydrangea arrangements draped in tea light candles. She cut down fresh stumps and topped with candles to adorn the fireplace in the ceremony room and put together the most beautiful magnolia leaf draping across the mantle. It was stunning. Finally, the food served in the venue by Chef Colin Bedford is the same level of quality as the Fearrington House restaurant which is unbelievable for wedding food. We heard from a significant portion of our guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever tasted. Literally the one regret I have from my wedding was not eating more of the food! Too much dancing and talking to do! This place is magical - I would highly recommend the Fearrington as a wedding venue.
