Celebrate Your Dream Country Wedding at the Historic Columbia County Fairhouse

Let the timeless charm of the Columbia County Fairhouse and its surrounding historic buildings set the stage for your unforgettable country wedding.

Nestled among blooming whiskey barrels and shade trees, these spaces offer a relaxed yet elegant country ambiance.

Raise a glass for a champagne toast beside a split-rail fence as the sun sets over the fairgrounds. With every detail steeped in rural beauty and heartfelt charm, your celebration at the Columbia County Fairhouse will be a wedding to remember.

The Columbia County Fairhouse is a place that exudes timeless elegance, and along with its adjacent historical structures, it can make a wonderful rustic wedding. Just imagine your day surrounded by old barns, limitless green areas, and lanterns illuminating the rustic barn's rafters. The purity of wildflowers will add to the beauty of hay bales, and the atmosphere which you have always dreamt of will be nothing less than that.

The bridal party will have their photo session around the old barns, the quiet pond, and the antique fountain while the guests will be drinking and enjoying hors d’oeuvres placed on the lawns and in the open-air show ring that surrounds them. The spots next to the flowering whiskey barrels and under the shade trees will offer a very laid-back yet graceful country atmosphere.

The wedding at the Columbia County Fairhouse will be a celebration of rustic chicness and beautiful love that cannot be forgotten.
