* Some barns offer rental add-ons for tables/chairs or have portable AC/heaters, often for an additional fee.

Your guests will have a seamless experience with our fully staffed and fully stocked bar. We provide licensed bartenders, setup and teardown, glassware, mixers, and hosted or cash-bar options — all handled in-house so you don’t have to coordinate a thing.
Every couple has a vision for their wedding dinner — and at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, you’re not locked into one caterer or one style. Choose any licensed & insured caterer you love, design the menu that fits your taste and culture, and enjoy total culinary freedom without extra venue fees.
Perfect for couples wanting BBQ, plated dinners, buffets, ethnic cuisine, food trucks, dessert tables, or family-style meals — your day, your choice.
Your wedding day deserves a beautiful backdrop — and photos that feel timeless. Explore some of our favorite moments, from ceremonies in the Atrium or Theater to receptions in the Expo Hall and intimate gatherings in Cambridge/Smith.
A: There isn’t one. The Fairfield Arts & Convention Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means our pricing is mission-driven, not profit-driven. You’re not paying inflated “wedding venue” markups — just fair, transparent rates that keep the arts alive in our community. Couples often save thousands compared to barns, hotels, and private venues.
A: Because you’re paying actual cost, not profit margin.
You get a full indoor wedding venue, fully staffed, climate-controlled, and professionally supported — at nonprofit rates.
