Lindsey & Jake’s Fearrington Wedding
How did you and your partner meet?
We met at work! Jake patiently waited until I was single and the rest is history.
Tell us about the engagement.
I had no idea! Jake planned a surprise getaway to Asheville, NC one of our favorites places to visit. He put together the largest suitcase he could find and packed every clothing option that I had and surprised me at work. He took me to Lake Junaluska which has a gorgeous background of the lake and the mountains. He popped the question as the sun was starting to set. It was amazing!
What made Fearrington the place for you to say ‘I do’?
The fact that everything is all inclusive was the initial draw for us. Ceremony, reception, inn for guests, catering and flowers. Once we toured we were taken aback with the beauty of the grounds. We knew right away that it was the place for us.
Describe the highlight moment of your wedding day.
It is so hard to pick just one! But I would say walking in to the reception in the barn. There were candles everywhere, drinks flowing and the guests looked so happy. You could just feel the love and joy in the room!
What was the biggest surprise of the day?
How quickly everyone hit the dance floor! As soon as the band started it seemed like every guest took to the dance floor and stayed there the entire night.
What was your biggest surprise about wedding planning?
Really how perfectly everything came together. We planned our wedding in just a few short months. Wedding planning will always be stressful but working with a venue like Fearrington that includes a majority of the services in-house made everything so much easier.
Anything you want to add about your wedding story?
We are still getting comments from our guests that they have never been to another wedding where the venue catered to the guests the way Fearrington did. You truly did an outstanding job and I could not have imagined a more perfect fairy tale wedding!
