LIZ & ADAM

In Their Own Words

Liz & Adam

"We dated long-distance for the first year of our relationship; Adam was in NYC and Liz was finishing law school at Duke. On one of Adam’s visits down to Durham, about six months in, we booked a dinner at the Fearrington House restaurant for a romantic treat! Bolstered by a stellar (and very effective) wine pairing, we casually asked our waiter if there happened to be any rooms available that night. Amazingly, one was vacant! So with nothing more than our dinner outfits, we stayed over, enjoyed an amazing breakfast, and then poked our heads into the Barn the next day. We were captivated by the space’s warmth and grandeur, and we half-jokingly said it would be the perfect place for our future wedding. Four years later, we made it happen!"

A woman in a white lace dress stands on a brick path, holding a round, beaded handbag. She wears strappy sandals with butterfly details. The garden background is green with flowers. The photo is cropped at her shoulders.

A bride in a white wedding gown sits on a chair, looking down as she fastens the strap on her white high-heeled shoe. Soft light fills the elegant room, and a delicate floral veil drapes over her shoulders.

"We knew that Gilda was an absolute rockstar of a planner and coordinator, but we were stunned by how efficiently and thoughtfully she hemmed Liz's post-dinner party jumpsuit minutes before we re-entered the Barn! It was the prime example of her attentiveness and care. Truly, the whole weekend felt joyful and effortless, and that is absolutely because of all the effort that the staff put into the event. We're deeply grateful!"

A bride in a long white gown and a groom in a navy suit walk hand in hand under a white pergola in a garden, with a white house in the background.

A person holds a wooden serving tray topped with rows of small, golden-brown fried appetizers, each garnished with a dollop of creamy white sauce. The background is outdoors and slightly blurred.

A charming white cottage with a dark roof sits behind a large tree and lush green plants, surrounded by a black iron fence and garden pathway under dappled sunlight.

A vibrant floral arrangement with orange, red, purple, and yellow flowers, accented by green leaves, sits on a table surrounded by empty glassware. The background is softly blurred.

A round table set for a formal event with white tablecloths, wooden chairs, glassware, and a colorful floral centerpiece in a well-lit room with framed art on the walls and elegant chandeliers overhead.

A bride in a white dress with a floral cape leans her head on a groom’s chest outdoors. The groom wears a navy suit with a boutonniere. The bride holds a colorful bouquet. Both appear happy and serene.

"We cannot adequately express the magic of our wedding weekend; the warmth, excellence, and deep care from the Fearrington staff and the various stellar local vendors really made for a perfect experience. We're forever grateful to them, and we can't wait to visit Fearrington over the years to celebrate many anniversaries ahead!"
