On Monday I decided to take a trip to VA Beach and visit Fair Wind Farms, where you can learn how to ride a horse, or have a fabulous barnyard wedding. I hadn't heard of the place until a colleague of mine mentioned that she'd be attending a wedding there soon and suggested I check it out. I was not prepared for the hour and a half drive I had to take to get there, but every second of it was worth it. This place is absolutely breathtaking. It sits right on the border of North Carolina and Virginia, but one visit to this place and you will understand why a bride would travel from the very deep south just to hold have her wedding at this venue.
The farmhouse is absolutely gorgeous. An amazing feature is the second floor opening above the stable, where the bride has been known to toss her bouquet from.
The horse stable is an elegant, intimate reception venue, but you can also set up a tent right alongside it if your guest list is a bit larger.
Directly across from the farmhouse is a little piece of paradise where ceremonies often take place. It has an arched bridge, a beautiful weeping willow, a hammock and a tire swing. Your pictures are sure to be unique and full of laughter with all of the built in props. There are also two other small pieces of heaven in walking distance, where ceremony's can be held in solitude overlooking the lovely bay. There are just so many possibilities with this venue!
Perhaps my favorite part of all is Chris Rush, the owner. She was so very pleasant and I loved to watch her interact with the wild life on this farm. She truly loves her animals and the clients she serves. I give the venue five stars.
