The Gardens at Applecross Reviews
I only have great things to say about Applecross!-Dave was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and focused on making the day unique and special for the couple-He has EXTENSIVE experience in the wedding industry, and every single detail of Applecross was well thought out and serves a purpose-The week of the wedding, Dave made us feel at ease and was available for any and every question we had-The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL! 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!

We just had our Fall Wedding at The Gardens at Applecross! It was Oct 14th and as much as we were looking forward to a Fall, Outdoor Wedding......it poured. And I mean poured. The entire day. It was too bad, but Dave, the Venue Coordinator, was ready to move it inside and we were prepared. We moved that outdoor Fall wedding inside. Dave made sure we had everything we needed that morning.Only reason for a star missing is that we thought there would be heaters on the deck, but the deck was honestly too slippery to go out on. Also there were not nearly enough hooks in the getting ready room for the bridal party. I had 4 bridesmaids and 3 moms there and there was only two hooks. Also need a hook in the women's handicap bathroom stall, some wedding dresses you can't pee in and have to take off completely. Otherwise, this place was completely stunning. My guests were amazed and thrilled.

The Gardens at Applecross was the perfect place to get married. We had the best time and couldn't be happier with our decision. We will forever look back to that day with fond memories. From our initial meeting to booking the venue, communication was easy and very accommodating. With the wonderful indoor & outdoor space, seamless booking process, & perfect location, we highly recommend the Gardens at Applecross! -Tyler & Janelle

I had my wedding at The Gardens, and I can easily say it was the best decision I made! The venue itself its so unique and beautiful. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect for our Islamic ceremony. The reception space was glowing with light through the gorgeous windows, and I loved that we weren't in a \"boxed walled\" room as our reception space. David was such a joy to work with, he made the process of booking the venue such a breeze. The day of the wedding, he was personally running around making sure the day was running smoothly. I wouldn't have wanted my wedding to be any other way!

My wife and I had our ceremony and reception at The Gardens on August 13th. We are thankful that we committed to an outdoor ceremony, because the outdoor space is visually stunning. We used no decorations in the outdoor area, allowing the natural flowers and shrubs, the distant trees, and the simple and elegant veranda to do the work. We wouldn’t have done it differently!We almost moved inside for the heat, which is the other incredible value of The Gardens. The indoor space is also stunning. Classic but not stuffy, clean, and spacious. It felt like more windows than walls, and the view is gorgeous. If you need a break from the DJ and the crowd, there is a wrap around porch with fire pits and a great view of the pristine, Nicklaus-designed golf course. So, if the weather doesn't cooperate and an outdoor ceremony isn’t an option, moving inside won’t feel like a sacrifice. Similarly, there is an indoor and outdoor space for cocktail hour, both classy as ever, but we can confirm your Old Fashioned tastes great in either spot.Working with Applecross was smooth. Our coordinator was enthusiastic and attentive to the details, and answered our calls whenever we needed him. Our caterers enjoyed the renovated kitchen space. The photographer was thrilled with her options. The general manager also showed up to assist and check on our day, which left us feeling confident that we were being taken care of.In summary, The Gardens at Applecross is a beautiful venue in the Philadelphia area that has the potential to give you the wedding you’ve always wanted. All your friends had their barn-wedding in Lancaster, why don't you do something a little different and book The Gardens?
