For couples seeking an elegant elopement, second wedding, or micro-celebration, our dedicated wedding team curates every moment — from seasonal flowers and fine dining to luxurious inn accommodations. Enjoy a fireside evening in your suite, stroll hand in hand through candlelit gardens, and let us handle the rest. At Fearrington, your intimate celebration feels personal, relaxed, and beautifully timeless — a day crafted entirely around your story.
