  • Appleford made our dream wedding come true

    •Verified review
    •Megan R.•May 11, 2025

    Choosing Appleford for our wedding was hands down one of the best choices we made in wedding planning. From the first tour Lisa made the experience as easy and stress free as possible. Their recommended vendors and partnered caters were great, and the open houses they held made selection smooth and gave us peace of mind knowing we were making informed decisions. One reason we loved Appleford was knowing they had a good rain plan - unfortunately, we did have to use this rain plan for some of our day so we were so incredibly grateful that the inside of the estate was stunning and ready for indoor use when the time came. The onsite coordinator was helpful in every respect and helped with everything including wardrobe malfunctions for the mother of the bride (helping to sew her dress when it was needed)! Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was which was obvious from the moment you step on the property. We cannot recommend Appleford enough and are so incredibly grateful that we chose them for our wedding day!

    Appleford was the perfect venue and our day was in a word - surreal. The grounds were breathtaking (as usual), the house impeccable, and our guests were delighted to stroll around the gardens, play games, dance, explore the house, and eat eat EAT!!! Lisa has been immensely helpful since our first meeting and is the fastest email responder- which this bride appreciated! Mary was very kind, enthusiastic and helpful. We’re lucky to live not very far from Appleford and will absolutely be back to relive the magic of our day. Thank you!!
