Awarded Best of Zola
Our daughter's wedding and reception was held at Apricus on June 3, 2023. Apricus is a gorgeous venue with an amazing staff. Meredith, their representative handled all questions and needs promptly and professionally. The staff genuinely cared about making the wedding and reception perfect. I would highly recommend Apricus.
