We held our ceremony in the Trinity Church and our reception in the village barn. The Fanshawe Pioneer village provided a great experience for locals and out of town guests as they were waiting for us to complete our photos they were able to walk through and learn about the historical buildings. Five stars is not enough. Bob Graham was an amazing help through planning and pulling off our event!We had our wedding here this past Saturday and the venue was amazing everyone had a fantastic time.

They were great to work with. They gave us options to move the reception outside once the pandemic took a turn. The coordinator was wonderful the day of. She coordinated with our vendors and helped us tear down at the end of the night. The assistant events coordinator was amazing too! He shuttled anyone around on the golf cart and even took the kids for a ride around the Village to help with their boredom. We had our wedding at Fanshawe Pioneer Village.
