Making a stressful time not so stressful!

My coordinator Heather was so patient with me and answered all of my 1000 questions and made me feel like I didn't have to worry about a single thing! I trusted the process and it was so worth it! I have never felt more important and prioritized in my life!

Wonderful wedding venue!

So happy we decided to have our wedding at the Apple Orchard Lodge. The venue is beautiful and has indoor and outdoor areas that guests can use. Our coordinator Michelle P. was AMAZING. She was so responsive in the weeks leading up to the wedding day and on the day of the wedding. She was calm and kind, and always able to help problem solve and was super flexible. I cannot thank her enough for how wonderful she was throughout the process. She even helped me choose my earrings at the last minute when I was running behind schedule! The bartender Tony was also great, very friendly and amazing service. Our DJ Pete was also great, he played a perfect mix of the songs I put on the playlist and some good requests from guests. The dance floor was full the entire time and all of our guests raved about how much fun they had. It was a truly magical night!

The only negative aspect was a brief interaction with the General Manager Barb who was extremely rude to me the morning of my wedding. Thankfully I was able to recover quickly and had an amazing wedding day. I would definitely recommend the Apple Orchard Lodge to anyone looking for a venue!

Michelle is fantastic!

Michelle was our coordinator and she went above and beyond! Anything we need throughout the whole night was taken care of quickly. I can’t recommend her enough to have as a wedding coordinator.
