My husband and I had our wedding at Magnolia Mansion this November (2023) and I still have not stopped receiving comments from our friends and family about what a perfect venue it was!The owners of this venue have put so much intentionality and thoughtfulness into renovating the space and it clearly shows. Our wedding flowed seamlessly from one space to the next (because they currently have and will soon have even more options for spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception).The other thing that I loved about this space was the flexibility of it! Because it is an inn and wedding venue, there were so many unique spaces for us to use for pictures, and even for the wedding party to spend time together after guests began to leave. Our photographer even commented on how many different options there were for pictures!But truly the thing that made this venue extra special were the owners. From start to finish, I could tell that they were so invested in making this day special for not only my husband and I, but our families as well! They were so communicative with us throughout the process, and especially as last minute details came together. We ended up visiting the venue multiple times throughout the wedding planning process, and the owners were so accommodating with setting up times during the week that worked around our work schedules so that we could finalize details on site.Even after the wedding, when I realized I had left a few items at the venue, the owners set my things aside and followed up with me directly about them so that I could come pick them up! This venue has all of the beauty of an upscale, classic wedding venue, with the feel of a family-owned business that really cares about making your event the experience of a lifetime!

We were so excited to book this venue when it was under the name Apple Blossom Inn. After the current owners purchased it, the interactions with the new manager and owners were shockingly unprofessional and odd. In the first conversation with the new manager, she told me my existing contract was null and void since there were new owners. What? I knew that wasn't true. So I kept asking questions about changes that were made since the venue changed ownership. In this conversation and subsequent conversations, we were perplexed by the ever changing information given regarding what was included with the package I purchased and was in my contract that was signed months prior. Often in the same conversation we were provided contradictory statements about the use of the pool, hot tub, man cave, staffing, and china, among many other things. They provide at least one staff on the day of the event. However, we were told that if we used our wedding planner we'd been working with for months, that they would not assist us on our special day unless there was an emergency. Many times in these conversations they said to us, \"We want to make you happy. We want to work this out.\" I cannot recall one problem they resolved. They instead repeatedly told us what we couldn't do even though it was in our signed contract. They also repeatedly talked badly about other professionals (and brides) and were putting us in the middle of their disputes. Needless to say, we decided not to use this venue which resulted in us needing to postpone our wedding because we did not have enough time to find another place for our special day.

My husband and I enjoyed the timeless charm of the Apple Blossom Inn. The inn's owner, Peggy, was truly a blessing. For months, she promptly answered my questions regardless of the time. She provided much-needed guidance at the rehearsal and made sure the ceremony flowed. She also helped us save so much money by providing items from decorations to flower girl baskets. On our wedding day, both Peggy and her partner, Mike, went above and beyond to help make our day as stress-free as possible. It warmed my heart. For example, we did not have a catering staff or a bartender so Peggy and Mike graciously filled those roles. The bakery forgot some of the cake decorations so Peggy found some flowers to go on our cake. Our wedding was wonderful and we are so grateful to Peggy (and Mike) for their large part in making the day great.

The venue: beautiful, charming, homey, intimate. I saw so a review before my tour that the venue was dirty and I was concerned until I got there and it was just magical! We arrived early early the day after a wedding and Peggy was cleaning what was left from the party but it was not dirty. We did a self guided tour so we could talk over everything we saw and then came back to talk to Peggy. The grounds were amazing and we loved every inch of it.Peggy: she's fun, bubbly, enthusiastic, and does a thousand things at the same time but completes everything. She's super fun and attentive. We booked the venue 13 months before the wedding and she made sure everything was perfect. She's amazing!

I tend to not give any bad reviews, but I feel this needs to be said. We toured The Apple Blossom Inn recently. We arrived on time for our tour and we immediately noticed that there were still chairs, tables, dead flowers, linens, plates, etc. still out from what we are guessing are from a previous event (our guess came true when she mentioned they were still set up from an event in December 2021). Walking in we immediately notice broken glass with some being held up with scotch tape and others on the floor. Peggy immediately greeted us and we immediately saw how bubbly and expressive she is. She was with another couple and so she told us to wait in the front or tour by ourselves. With our self guided tour we immediately then noticed how unclean this venue was. We were there for OVER 2 1/2 hours and most of the guided tour was Peggy telling us how we should be doing our wedding and taking over every conversation to the point where myself nor my fiancé could even get a word in because we felt it was rude to interrupt her. She rushed through most of the tour and lost her train of thought a million times causing us to circle back to the same thing. Before leaving she let her dogs out of the kitchen and apologized to us that they got sprayed by skunks. As big animal lovers it wasn't a big deal, but as a bride looking for a venue I do not think it was appropriate to keep animals in the kitchen especially smelling like skunk. It made me and fiancé think what else could be in the kitchen. After leaving the tour my family and fiancé immediately just sighed in relief because it was over. Peggy seems like such a knowledgeable wedding planner and she is definitely enthusiastic about her job, but for us we definitely could not keep up with her energy and thought the cleanliness of the venue could be improved drastically. Now that could be changed with a cleaning group, but it did not sit right with me or my fiancé that it was not in a presentable manner to even give a tour.

As the bride and groom, we were throughly impressed with the venue and Peggy Snead. I knew this was the right venue when I met Peggy. Her personality, energy, and compassion make it an experience of a lifetime. Peggy became part of the family and we became a part of hers. She NEVER stopped working. I found myself constantly asking, âis there anything she canât do?â Peggy helped with everything, every step of the way. We had no idea what to do and she was able to point us in the right direction because she has years of experience. She answered every stupid question we asked and made specific accommodations to meet our particular needs. If something needed to be addressed, Peggy or her staff would fix it right away. I knew I was in good hands and didnât have a single worry with Peggy in charge. There may have been some hiccups in general but Peggy made everything better and kept us calm. I highly recommend this venue. You will be hard pressed to find a better venue at a better value. My wedding party and guests went out of their way to tell us that the venue and Peggy were amazing. Our friends even nicknamed her mama bear đ» We love you, Peggy! Thank you. â€ïž

The Apple Blossom Inn was a beautiful venue for a Fall wedding. It has a rustic-chic charm and feels like a comfortable home, which is what we wanted. We were able to decorate the home with our pictures and special items and help make the flower arrangements. Peggy was very attentive; responsive to all of our questions and requests (which were many) - going above and beyond. Her wealth of experience and creative ideas made the day even more special. The wedding and reception were wonderful - each detail prepared with care: from warm apple cider for our guests as they arrived, colorful flowers lining the aisle, candles lit inside and out, to homemade apple cobbler for dessert and a sparkler send off. Recommend!

Regardless, we wanted to quickly plan an intimate beautiful elopement and Peggy was up for the task. She was very accommodating, helped with suggestions, contacted her vendors and secured an officiant, not to mention she customized our package to fit our needs. Sheâs continuously made efforts to ensure my fiancĂ© and I are stress free and focus solely on each other before he leaves. Honestly, itâs hard to put into words how much that means to us but thank you so much!

I hate writing bad reviews however I feel like this needs to be said so people are aware. This venue was very dirty when we went to tour it. Chairs were on the front lawn and tables and linens were still out under the tent which began to grow mold from being left outside. Not to mention there was broken glass all over the floor of the tent. Expecting to hear their last event was recent, we were told it was 3 weeks prior to our tour. I peaked into the kitchen to find a turtle in a cage on the counter, trash stacked up very high in the corner and moldy food sitting around. I would never eat anything that came out of the kitchen. Peggy is very nice but sheâs all over the place. We wanted a simple tour, it turned into almost two hours of her telling me how I should run my wedding. Needless to say I didnât book this venue for numerous reasons. Look at everything when you go!

All this isolation caused by the virus makes me wish I could be back here with my friends. We had such a blast drinking and dancing all night long. A couple of my friends and I ended up spending the night at the Inn, and Peggy made us the best breakfast in the morning. So fun! Five stars!

I was a guest at this Inn this past fall - it was hands down the most fun reception ever. Everything was perfectly organized by the hostess on site, and then after the party close friends from VTech hung out by the fire pit, drank and told stories. We were all able to relax and spend the night on-site. Different than any wedding I've ever attended.

As a bride who had my wedding here back in October, my wedding weekend was amazing due to the endless hours of work me, my future husband, our wedding parties, and our families spent cleaning and scrubbing the Apple Blossom Inn because it was disgusting the DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING.It had me, my mom, and my mother-in-law in tears when we saw the condition of the venue earlier that week. Peggy reassured us that it would be cleaned by her âcleaning girlsâ on Friday. That never happened.Peggy lied to me and my family about a cleaning service that never came and had so many excuses as to why the venue was covered in dirt, mold, bugs, and filth.She is running an illegal catering business without a license and has yet to provide my family with documentation to show it wasnât illegal so do not pay for her âcatering.â She needs to take catering off her website and this site because whatâs sheâs offering isnât legal. Donât believe me; then the health department will tell you because when I talked to them, they donât have all her documentation to prove this business is legal.Iâve kept quiet the past 5 months about my opinions of the Apple Blossom Inn because itâs been hard to find the words of how incredibly disappointed I am with the quality of the venue and the amount of misled information and lies Peggy told me and me husband. Brendan, our families, and our friends are the real heroes of our wedding weekend for all they did to make the venue presentable for a wedding.I hate writing negative reviews but if Peggy would have been honest with us from the beginning then it would have been much easier to navigate through all of the issues we had with her the week of the wedding but instead she tried to cover everything up and just tell us what she thought we wanted to hear. She tries to do too much by herself and it comprises the quality of her services. Iâm sure she will reply to this comment with more lies and excuses about how happy Brendan and I were with her services but honestly she was the biggest cause of our stress leading up to our big day. I feel taken advantage of and highly recommend that if you want a wonderful wedding experience donât book the Apple Blossom Inn.

An affordable alternative, ABI offers turnkey wedding weekends for couples on a budget. Peggy is highly motivated and âall-inâ for couples who want to make their wedding weekend simple.

I would first like to note that no matter what, my wedding day was fantastic, everything either one of us could have wanted. Peggy is the owner of this venue and she is extremely kind, courteous, and overall wants to give you the perfect day of your dreams. She was also our caterer, officiant, and florist, which I point out mainly because it meant she was incredibly busy the day of and that we relied on her immensely for our wedding needs. When my momma and I toured the venue what really sold me other than the beauty and charm of the location and ability to stay the night with as many guests as could fit in the house was that she said she would be our wedding planner as well. The reason this was so essential is that my husband lived in Hawaii and I live in Maryland with both of us having full time jobs, which I meant I couldn't just \"pop-by\" the venue. I found that Peggy is truly great at managing her venue and making your day-of perfect, but I would not define her as a wedding planner. The internet and cell reception at the venue is spotty (which is where Peggy lives) and at times non-existent which means you can only reach her by email. This would have been alright, but she is not great at managing/tracking conversations via email. Multiple times the same questions were asked over email and when meeting in person, most of her notes are on scratch paper, and all-in-all she ended up asking the same questions again over text/email the week of and day before, which I found at times irritating and incredibly stressful. If you choose this venue, do not expect an overly-organized and deadline savvy wedding planner. Come to her with your own plan, printed materials, etc. and patience, because in the end Peggy cares about each couple at her venue. In addition, perhaps it is just my overly clean attitude, but I felt that with how much you pay, the house could use a once over, in the bathrooms especially. All that aside, this venue truly is a dream come true. Everything looked beautiful, my groom and I were happy, everyone had fun, and Peggy did everything to the best of her ability to ensure every tiny detail went according to plan. I would suggest this venue for a couple who falls in love with the look and feel of it and has supportive friends or loved ones to help you make sure you get what you want out of your special day. Peggy really is a delight and cares deeply about every single wedding she hosts!

The Apple Blossom Inn is the best wedding Venue out there! Peggy is the owner of the venue, the wedding planner, and possible caterer for the venue. My wife and I describe her as Wonder Women. She really is the life of the beautiful venue. Peggy is the main reason why my wife and I chose this venue. She is full of energy, spunky, and motivating. It is obvious that she loves what she does and she really cares about the bride and groom.Throughout the week Peggy works on your wedding making sure everything is going to be perfect. She contacts and coordinates with all of the vendors. She also allows you to start dropping things off a few days before the wedding to get everything up there ahead of time. She puts the alcohol you bring in coolers (if you donât have a bartending service) and lets you see what decorations she has that you can use.We also opted to have Peggy cater our wedding for simplicity. Her service was one of the best parts of the night. My wife and I still have guests telling us how awesome the food was two weeks after the wedding. We had a guest count of 50 which felt perfect for the venue; no one felt crowded but there werenât awkward extra spaces. Peggy also makes sure of that by only setting out as many chairs as you will need for the ceremony. Even when everybody was dancing on the dance floor there was more then enough space for everybody to have fun. We had people dancing, mingling, playing cornhole, a photo booth, and drinking. Then, as the evening came to a close, we had our friends and family chilling in the hot tub, swimming in the pool, and my favorite part (besides marrying my best friend) sitting by the firepit eating smores.We had an amazing wedding at The Apple Blossom Inn. Everything was perfect! We couldnât have asked for a better day. If you want your wedding to be as perfect as ours was you really need to check this place out!!! Thank you Peggy for everything!!!!

Peggy is truly amazing. Not only is she the venue owner, but she also comes as a complimentary wedding planner! Is that where she stops? Only if you want her to. She also does catering, has the inside deals for flowers, cupcakes, hair & make up teams, DJ's and more! ANYTHING you could ever need or want for a wedding, she has, or could get you. Do you have to use her vendors? Nope, sure don't, AND SHE DOESN'T CHARGE EXTRA IF YOU DON'T! She is also very accommodating and so easy to work with. I have bridesmaids from hell (not all of them, but 2), indecisive, etc., but she helped me through that and many other personal issues related to family things; WHILE STILL PUTTING TOGETHER MY WEDDING FOR ME! My wedding is totally untraditional, and Peggy has not missed a beat. We have multiple traditions included in our ceremony, and I have a lot of creative ideas that Peggy has helped piece together to make everything cohesive. The space is BEAUTIFUL, and the service is PHENOMENAL! I cannot wait for my big day (I'm literally 15 days away from saying \"I Do!\") - and will update my review after the day with loads more info to truly capture how WONDERFUL this venue/vendor is!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! Peggy was extremely helpful with everything. She was constantly running around making sure everything was perfect for our weekend. The whole venue is gorgeous and it felt like we were at home. Everyone had a wonderful time and our guests keep telling us how beautiful it was. There were issues with the baker and the florist arriving on time but Peggy took care of everything. In fact, I didn't even know there was an issue with the baker until the next day! Peggy was on the phone with both the baker and the florist and ensured that everything was set up and beautiful. Seriously, this took so much stress off of my plate and was a huge help! That being said, I did hear from my caterers that the kitchen was a bit messy. My caterer said she felt the need to mop and wipe down the counters herself before she got started. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a day-of coordinator who will take care of everything and a venue that feels like home. Absolutely no regrets picking this venue!

There are not enough good things I can say about this venue and it's owner, Peggy Snead.Peggy Snead, is quite literally, Superwoman.There were so many small details about our wedding weekend there, from Friday to Sunday, and not a single one went unnoticed. She even helped tend bar during our reception, while somehow keeping everything on time, and keeping the party flowing. My wife and I visited several venues before we chose Apple Blossom, and we absolutely made the right decision. Within about 30 seconds of meeting Peggy, it's abundantly clear how much she loves weddings and cares about her brides and grooms. THIS is the type of person you want in charge of your wedding. Not one who is ONLY about the bottom line, but one who is in love with her craft. Peggy ran our rehearsal, ran our wedding ceremony, ran the reception, all flawlessly. She even cooked us breakfast every day we were there, and just generally made it so that my wife and I had very little to worry about, other than enjoying the happiest time of our lives. On top of that, she has followed up with us in the last few days just to make sure we were okay and happy with our wedding.I have a hard time believing anyone could ever find a better venue than Apple Blossom, and a better person than Peggy.

If I could give Peggy & ABP 100 stars, I would! My husband and I were married again on June 17th just after our 1 yr ann. We wanted to have a medieval ceremony with swords and archery in the woods, and Peggy made our dream come true! She even had landscapers come in to clear the forest for us, as there had never been a forest ceremony at ABP before. Peggy is full of energy and ideas, and I can honestly tell you that I never felt any stress AT ALL leading up to or during that amazing weekend! We rented ABP for the whole weekend and it was just a giant party done exactly how we wanted with no restrictions on what we wanted. I can't explain in words how grateful we are for Peggy & ABP. We had an amazing weekend that we will never forget. We're already discussing an anniversary ceremony there again in the future! :)

The following review is my opinion. I got married here this pat August and it was the biggest mistake. Peggy is very unprofessional and very untrustworthy. She seems so great when you first meet her. She is the reason we booked the venue. After she got our money, she completely changed. She went back on almost everything she said. She was unreachable during almost the entire wedding planning process. She does not take care of the venue. There was trash everywhere and we had clean up the majority. Right before the wedding, the sewage backed up into the backyard (where the reception is) with toilet paper and tampons! Her kitchen had dead bugs and mold everywhere. She gave us our final invoice 2 hours before the wedding (supposed to receive 10 days in advance). She tried to charge us an overnight shipping fee for flowers she forgot to order. My bridesmaids even heard Peggy talking bad about me the following day! My biggest regret is booking at Apple Blossom Plantation. I still married my best friend but I hope no brides goes through what I did.

She is the party planner, she cleans the tables, she gives instructions to bartender, DJ, people in the kitchen, and also the wedding guests, about what not to do. It was total confusion about everything, is the bar open or not, can we dance or not, what about the toast, it goes on and on. She would interrupt and speak out loud, either speaking loud, or grabbing the mic from the DJ, out of place. She started with telling all the guests , right before the wedding ceremony started, the history of the house, that it was called a plantation but it never had slaves, that the original owners gave her a portrait or some sort of painting that was hanging in the house. Then she said that she had to add another table in a corner for a group of people that did not RSVP, and decided to show up at the wedding, \"she is not naming anybody\

This venue is beautiful at first glance, however when you spend more than just a walk through there you realize how disgusting it is. This is my second wedding I attended here, first one I stayed the night there and participated as a bridesmaid, second, I assisted my best friend as her daughter was getting married. Both times I there was horrible, with the second visit being worse. No one is allowed in the kitchen, and the reason for that is simply nastiness. The kitchen had bugs all around the fridge seal, the counter tops looked as if they had not been cleaned in weeks, and mold is everywhere! The floors throughout the house are very dirty, nothing has been dusted in ages, and the outside areas have junk hidden behind every bush. The pool looked decent however, with the rest of the upkeep there was no way we were getting in it. I could keep going on and on about how gross this place is but it would be a whole narrative. As far as Peggy goes, she is super nice, but does not follow through with nothing she says. One example being the order of the flowers through her florist, they were never ordered by her, and she did not let anyone know until the evening before the wedding. The food that she hosted for the reception was horrible, the steak tasted freezer burnt, and the vegetables had no flavor, if we had noticed how horrible the kitchen were prior to the reception dinner, the food would have never been prepared in there and served from there. In conclusion, if you are wanting to have a wonderful wedding with less stress, by all means AVOID this place. Don't let the first look drag you in, because you will end up regretting it...........

My mom and I met Peggy Smith Snead at the Richmond wedding show and loved her energy! She was fantastic and the first vendor to email me that same night. I was really set on a date that she unfortunately had on hold for another couple. Instead of saying \"sorry I can't help\" she gave me some ideas to make what I wanted work. I really appreciate her focus on my desires.

I married my best friend here and it was magical. The home is amazing and Peggy makes it feel like home when you are there. She found someone to do hair and makeup in less than 12 hours when I couldn't. It was amazing. We went with the option to have bouquets and boutonniĂšres made with her, and they turned out more amazing than I ever imagined. The day of the wedding I didn't worry about anything because I knew she would take care of it. And she did. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is. The house speaks for itself and Peggy makes it feel like home. Thank you for everything Peggy. You are a wonderful, amazing, beautiful person, and I am so blessed to have met you!

Wow! I gave Peggy Snead (owner of Apple Blossom Plantation and wedding coordinator) my colors and an idea of what I wanted. She crafted all of the floral arrangements for the wedding ceremony, wedding party, and wedding reception herself. I was blown away with how elegant the flowers came out! The flowers were healthy enough to survive the 3+hour car ride home the day after the wedding as well!

I hate to give such a low review, but I went to tour this venue with my fiance and my father, and we were all totally disappointed. We arrived early for our appointment, because Peggy had invited me to listen in on a wedding planning meeting she had, which I thought was great. She did provide coffee and hot tea for us to drink while we sat and waited. First of all, Peggy has A LOT of energy. I have a more laid back personality and do not believe I would have been able to keep up with her for the many months until my wedding date. Eventually, she offered that we give ourselves a self-tour while we waited for her to finish up, again, this was fine. \r\rBut then we walked around. The house looked like it had not been cleaned in years. There was a noticeable layer of dust and dirt on the hardwood floors, which could also have desperately benefited from a nice polishing. There was also a corner china cabinet that had a chunk torn off, and the front doors were being held together by scotch tape. They have a pool out back and the cover was cracked and ripped. Since I was planning a December wedding, this was quite an eyesore. They also have those heaters outside for guests that may want to sneak away for a quick smoke, they looked like they had been thrown off the roof. Completely dilapidated. \r\rMy fiance and father were so thrown off by the appearance of the property they they left before our appointment time had even started. I apologized to Peggy and saw myself out. She texted me a little while after we left and told me that she had her girls coming in to clean later that day, but I thought that would be something that should be taken care of before a potential client comes to view the property.

So many things were including in the price for our venue. And not only is Peggy the owner of the venue she is a caterer as well. A great bonus to help streamline the amount of vendors you have. Peggy is super sweet and wants you to have the wedding of your dreams. She can be a little delayed to email responses but have some patience, she will get back to you! We are beyond grateful for all her help! We are SO happy with our choice to get married at Apple Blossom! *Notes to brides: If you have a specific date in September-October book early! I booked a whole year before our wedding and a lot of the weekends in those months were already booked!

From the moment my husband and I met her it was clear that she had a passion for what she does and that she was on our side the whole time. Our budget was honored with respects to our wishes. Additionally, she made coordinating with the vendors easy.

I emailed her weekly for about 6 months.Ha-ha. She always responded and gave numerous resources to help us save money. My husband and I paid for the wedding ourselves and Peggy gave us options for DIY money savers and ways to keep us within our budget. We stayed at the plantation for the entire weekend with our wedding party. The weekend was like a huge party with our friends and family. Friday was the rehearsal dinner and after party. Saturday brunch and primping for the wedding. Above all, Peggy acted as a wedding coordinator for the wedding and reception. Peggy even cooks the guest breakfast in the morning after the wedding. She made us feel welcome and like family at the Plantation. Even after the wedding, she keeps in touch with you when needed. The plantation is beautiful and can be low cost or high society with all of the options they offer. Apple Blossom is now one of our family memories that we will always cherish. \r\rThank you Peggy, \rCory & Annamae

This venue and its fabulous owner, Peggy, completely MADE our wedding! Apple Blossom manages to encompass a little bit of everything: contemporary outside ceremony with the romance of the fountain trickling behind you as you say your vows; vintage feel with the plantation house complete with \"old-timey\" décor, wood-burning fireplaces and grand staircase; \"party-friendly\" reception tent connected to the house, located beside an in-ground pool and bountiful fields for lawn games and mingling guests.\r\rWe didn't have an official wedding coordinator, but Peggy went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. This included contacting my vendors to make sure they arrived on time (three of them had three different times!!), cueing the wedding party went to ascend down the aisle during the ceremony, directing guests to the bar, bathrooms, wherever they needed to go, cleaning up after a couple of friends who drank too much, etc. etc. I would have been SO much more stressed and worried about details without her reassurance and complete control over everything.\r\rWe had MANY guests, (including my husband's grandparents who have ben around for quite some time) tell us that it was the most FUN wedding they had ever attended. Everyone complimented the serene location (a lovely drive as the leaves were changing in October through the small town of Providence Forge), lovely accommodations (plenty of space to mingle with other guests or relax inside to get away from the loud music, for instance), and overall ambiance of Apple Blossom!\r\rI am SO happy that I discovered this venue at a bridal show and that Peggy runs everything. My wedding day was truly perfect and I owe it all to them!

My husband and I were married at Apple Blossom Plantation on Sept. 1. After visiting the site for the first time, my fiance said \"Honey, that's the one.\" And he was right! From the moment we met Peggy, we were addicted to her energy and love for her job. She is attentive, creative and supportive. (After the wedding my grandparents said they wanted to adopt her.) As you approach the B&B down the driveway, it is breathtaking. The inside is beautifully decorated and feels warm and inviting. This site is functional for both large and small weddings. I got ready in the large bridal suite. Our ceremony was in the front of the home near the fountain. What I loved most about the bridal suite, is that I could peak out the window and see my guests arrive. I could see my husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle. The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The coctail hour was held inside the B&B. My favorite part of the inside of the B&B, is the shelves next to where they put the bar. Because our wedding was smaller, my husband and I decided to frame pictures of us with all our guests. The shelves accomidated all the pictures, which looked classy and personal and photographed beautifully. The rain started just as our reception kicked off, but that was ok- because Apple Blossom's tent in the backyard is attached to the home, so no one got wet walking out to the reception. Peggy worked closely with our vendors to make sure everything was done right, and on time. Apple Blossom did the catering for the event and all the food was hot, flavorful and delicious. After the reception had died down, my husband and I made our way to the bridal suite and found that Peggy had been hard at work, leaving us a special surprise in our room. We also felt relieved because our family members, such as my grandparents who are in their late 70s, stayed in one of the rooms at Apple Blossom. It was a relief that they did not have to drive home in the dark! The next morning, Peggy was there bright and early to make us a divine breakfast. Those were the best cheese eggs I have EVER tasted! I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share just how perfect our day was. It all started when we chose Apple Blossome Plantation, and it's the best wedding decision we made. (Other than getting engagaed, of course). Peggy is one of the family now, and we plan to keep in touch for years to come. Well done Peggy and crew :) Thanks for the memories!

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderfully everything went my wedding day/weekend, and I owe a big part of that to Peggy Snead and her Apple Blossom Plantation. The place was beautiful for a late October wedding, and Peggy went above and beyond the call of duty. There were about 130 people at my wedding and the plantation was the perfect fit. Most of the other vendors were recommended by Peggy and they were all fantastic; things went that much more smoothly because the photographer, DJ, and cake lady were all familiar with the venue and setup. I highly recommend the plantation, and also Ms. Peggy Snead as your event planner!

This place was an absolute disgusting mess. I was there for a wedding over the summer. The owner Peggy got drunk with her boyfriend instead of do her job. The Apple Blossom Plantation is also known as the Bermuda Triangle because conveniently some things disappear. This place is beyond gross. There was trash left in the kitchen from at least the weekend before if not the month. Which did not help the fly population. The pool has not been shocked or cleaned in years it looked like. She claims she has a \"staff\" but I think it is just her multiple personalities coming out. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone. \r

I chose Apple Blossom Plantation after seeing it for the first time. The owner is wonderfully sweet and wants everything to go just as the bride plans. She can even suggest local vendors used before that are familiar with the plantation. The location itself is wonderful for a classic wedding, you get the southern feel of the home but with contemporary ammenities, like a large catering kitchen and 5 working bathrooms. \r\rThe house also has a 30x60 tent attached to the back of the house which worked perfectly for our wedding. All of our guests were impressed by the cozy feel of home along with the classic country plantation vibe.

She can even suggest local vendors used before that are familiar with the plantation. The location itself is wonderful for a classic wedding, you get the southern feel of the home but with contemporary ammenities, like a large catering kitchen and 5 working bathrooms. \r\rThe house also has a 30x60 tent attached to the back of the house which worked perfectly for our wedding. All of our guests were impressed by the cozy feel of home along with the classic country plantation vibe.
