The ceremony will take place at Christ Church in Raleigh. The reception will take place at Fearrington, with events both outdoors and inside the barn. Dancing will take place in the tent and continue later in the evening inside the barn. Fearrington’s gardens and village grounds are a beautiful part of the experience — and if you’re lucky, you may even spot the famous black-and-white “Oreo cows” grazing nearby.

Yes. The reception will take place in several locations around the Fearrington property. Everything is within a short and pleasant walk through the gardens and grounds.
