“My daughter and her fiancé had a gorgeous wedding at the Gardens at Applecross on Friday, June 7th. They wanted a venue that was elegant and formal yet captured the beauty of nature they loved so much. Although they booked Applecross when it was still under construction, they saw the vision, and it was perfect. I should note that when they booked, there were not all-inclusive packages so we did hire individual vendors which may be different from those now included in the package. Katie and Luke’s vendors were all amazing and each contributed to the success of the wedding in their own special way. We were also fortunate to have beautiful weather so were able to take advantage of the gorgeous outdoor ceremony space with the enormous pergola and perfectly landscaped backdrop. Their guests loved the outdoor/indoor cocktail space with both an outdoor and indoor bar, ample seating and beautiful landscaping. Many guests also retreated to this area later in the evening to take a break from dancing. The fire pits and lighting created a lovely ambiance to such a spectacular evening. The indoor ballroom was gorgeous. The ceiling to floor windows captured the natural beauty of the outside and the chandeliers and draping added to the elegance. Our florist added two gorgeous floral chandeliers that complimented all the other ballroom florals all of which created a stunning dinner/reception space! The combination of this beautiful venue, outstanding vendors and an absolutely amazing couple made for a magical wedding!”

“We took a risk in booking Gardens at Applecross while it was still under construction in 2022, but Dave sold us on his vision for the space and it certainly paid off. We had our wedding in May 2024 and it was an absolute dream come true. All of our guests were raving about how beautiful the venue was, including all of the little details that went into it. The outdoor ceremony space is absolutely breathtaking, and the terrace/outdoor bar area for cocktail hour set the tone for a perfect spring evening. The window-lined ballroom is nothing I had ever seen before and it perfectly matched the lighthearted, romantic, and joyful vibe we were going for. The ballroom was spacious and the deck outside was the perfect touch to balance out the party on the dance floor. Dave is incredibly experienced and offered us valuable insight throughout the entire planning process. He was always just a phone call away when needed, and I am so appreciative of all of the work he put into bringing our dreams to life.”

The in and outside gave us various locations for beautiful photos -The inside has an incredible light and music system which made the dance floor tons of fun! -There is a large deck on the front of the ballroom which was great for outdoor photos (it rained before our ceremony) -The bridal suite was available for us to get ready in, had a mini fridge, TV, sink, large mirrors and natural light. My husband used the grooms suite which was also perfectly suited. -Dave helped the rehearsal and wedding day to run super smoothly, and I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of! Overall, we had an excellent experience w/ Dave and Applecross and I highly recommend them for your wedding!”
