We had our wedding at Fat Apple Farm and were so pleased with everything! The family that runs it was incredibly responsive and caring during the planning process, making things much lower stress and giving us peace of mind that the event would go smoothly. On the big day, they had many friendly workers on hand to help set up, coordinate vendors, and make sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. The beautiful farm setting provided a perfect rustic backdrop for our pictures and the event space was large enough to accommodate all our guests comfortably. We felt the venue was an excellent value for the quality of service and lovely atmosphere they provided. If you're looking for a warm, family-run venue that will help your wedding vision come to life, I highly recommend Fat Apple Farm!
