Often there are other events or weddings on the same weekend and other guests will be staying at the resort, but your wedding day schedule is always our first priority. Fair Hills has 40 acres of cabins, lakeshore, and tons of amenities, you won’t even notice other guests are there!

  Fair Hills staff will set up, maintain during the event, and clean up all items provided in our packages and all catering and bar items. Any decorations, floral, lighting or personal items brought in are the responsibility of the couple and their party to set up, clean up, and remove from the venue.

• Do you provide catering and bar services?
