Let our creative staff suggest ways to incorporate our stylish meeting and event venues, luxurious gardens, farm setting, the Village shops, and our many indoor and outdoor spaces to create the perfect event for your group. We’ve designed and hosted events from product launches to holiday parties for up to 500 guests that utilize one or several sites throughout the Village Center. The results will keep your guests talking long after the event is over. Here are a few recent examples:

Corporate Retreat
The top executives of one large software company recently held their annual retreat here. Activities for the two day event included:

- Meetings in The Library at McIntyre's, located over McIntyre’s Books, our celebrated independent bookstore
- A multi-course dinner in a private dining room at The Fearrington House Restaurant
- Wrapping up their meeting, a beer tasting and cookout at the Garden Terrace

Corporate Holiday Party
A consumer products company wanted to host several hundred co-workers and their families for a truly magical holiday event.  It was a memorable way to say thank you to employees for a job well done! We utilized three locations all in immediate proximity to one another to create a winter wonderland for the whole family:

- In the Barn, we served up a festive North Carolina style barbeque complete with all the fixin's
- At the Garden Terrace, hors d'oeuvres and cocktails were served 
- For the young at heart, a carnival-style tent complete with children's activities, a snowy winter wonderland perfect for family portraits, and a life-sized Polar Express depot that took children on a ride through the Village. 

Business School Graduation Banquet
An early spring event brought together 500 graduating MBAs and their families for a heavy hors d'oeuvres reception in The Barn that spilled out onto the Barn patio and into a beautiful, climate-controlled tent with a view of the pastures and the Belted Galloway cows. Guests strolled extensive garden paths with drink in hand, then converged in The Barn for the celebration.
 
Our breadth of indoor and outdoor venues and expertise in hosting all sorts of events means we can bring your extraordinary event to life.
