The setting

From the reviews
Fair Hills Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is hard to pick one favorite part about it! Personally, I loved that the guests had so much to do during the cocktail hour.
Liz and the Fair Hills Team made our wedding this year in June 2023 absolutely incredible. Liz was very in tune to my vision for the day and gave great suggestions based on that. The food is provided by the resort and it was delicious!
My beautiful daughter was married there June 17. It was an amazing day. The staff was absolutely top notch. Liz, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely wonderful. The food was so so good. I could not have asked for anything more. Stunning place.
We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the entire experience was as seamless as a wedding can be. They provided us with so much helpful information well in advance, which made planning so much easier and far less stressful.
Getting married at Fair Hills Resort
Fair Hills Resort comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Fair Hills Resort
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Fair Hills Resort — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
