Tasty Food @ Waterford at Fair Oaks

Waterford at Fair Oaks (and Waterford at Springfield) prepares some of the best food in the area! Our Chef, Chef Michael Rogers, has created a wonderful menu for both our plated/sit-down meals and our buffets (the most popular service at Waterford at Fair Oaks).

Food tastings (which are included with ALL our wedding packages) are scheduled with our Chefs on Wednesdays and Thursdays. All of our tastings are private tastings with a sales person and a Chef. Our food ALWAYS tastes just as good (if not better because you've waited for it so long) as it did at the tasting.

Below are some of the popular items served on our buffet.


Chicken Piccata - our number 1 dish on EVERY menu.











Three Peppercorn Strip Loin - this is a carved item for the buffet. The most popular buffet beef!

Colors in the Centerpieces are the Right amount (and the right Budget)

You don't have to have decorations all over the room to change the look of your wedding venue. Nicely adorned centerpieces that accent your wedding colors are enough to brighten the room of your reception. Having floral arrangements, chair covers, colored linens, balloons, and other decorations can bring a lot of color to your room, but can also be very expensive. Choosing to have colorful centerpieces can be low in cost, but still look fantastic! You can use anything from flowers and candles to fruit and vases with water. Using simple items such as a fish bowl or a large martini glass and placing floating candles or flowers inside makes a very nice centerpiece. You can also use the season to inspire your centerpieces; use pumpkins and colorful fall leaves for an autumn wedding or fruit and bright flowers for a spring or summer wedding. As long as your centerpiece includes the colors chosen for your wedding you can have any creative arrangement on your tables to change the look of your ballroom and give your wedding the right amount of color.

Holiday Weekend Weddings/Sunday Receptions

Weddings on holiday weekends are very popular and can be more accommodating to your guests and their travel needs. If you hold your wedding on a Sunday of a holiday weekend (i.e. Memorial Day Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, or Columbus Day Weekend), travel time is available for most of your guests on Saturday so they do not have to leave work and then on Monday to return home (or to recover). With a Sunday wedding, your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner can be on a Saturday (instead of Friday) which helps those in your wedding party to miss less work as well. At Waterford at Fair Oaks, Sundays of holiday weekends usually fill up before the Saturdays do!

Sundays of non-holiday weekends are not as popular at Waterford at Fair Oaks and your reception is likely to be the ONLY reception with us. Sundays on non-holiday weekends also have a reduced rate from our Saturday evenings and timing is very flexible. You can have an early afternoon ceremony and/or reception with us and give your guests plenty of time to get home and get ready for work the next day.
