Hurricane Helene hit harder than a lot of us were expecting. Only after photos and videos started being posted online did we realize just how much worse it could be and how terrible it was for the surrounding areas. People have lost their lives, homes and loved ones and here at Fussell Estate we were fortunate that we only sustained mostly aesthetic damages due to flooding and wind.
This video captures the Reddies River during Helene. The Reddies easily expanded three times her size, if not more and the river bed’s shape has changed considerably from what it was before.
We did have a wedding this weekend, even with the storm. Our sweet bride had to move her wedding from View 2395 to Fussell Farm because of power outages. Our cabins had no electricity so guests had to resort to flashlights and candles. Fortunately our couple rolled with the punches and had a lovely day.

This past weekend we had the joy of hosting a bride whose twin sister got married with us last year!
It was also our first time working with @the_lady_irenes . This is the only vendor we’ve ever seen that truly does it all! From rentals and decor to catering, this team can do anything!

We were lucky to get footage of this mother deer and her newborn fawn
We may be a wedding venue but we're still a fully operational Angus Cattle farm. I hope you enjoy the blissful process of bailing hay as much as we do. Hay Day at Fussell Estate!
