A wonderful experience!

I am the mother of the bride. Our family's experience with The Gardens at Applecross was excellent. David McCracken is clearly experienced and helped us make the best choices throughout the year-long planning process. Our family really enjoyed working with him. He was always available to answer our questions (and his suggestions resulted in a beautiful, organized and fun wedding day that we were able to enjoy!) The venue is breathtaking both inside and out, so much attention to every detail. We especially loved the garden area (where the ceremony took place) and the stunning ballroom, full of windows to showcase the autumn leaves and landscaping outdoors. We could not be happier that we chose this incredible place.

Beautiful Modern Venue

I attended a wedding this past weekend at The Gardens at Applecross. Immediately, I was impressed by their outdoor ceremony space. The gardens and grounds are beautiful, especially for photos / video. The room is extremely modern and the built in lighting was incredible. Dave was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend!

Can I just say how amazing Dave is?

We haven't even had our wedding yet and I feel compelled to write this review. Dave the coordinator has been the most reachable and accommodating person I have worked with through this process. Dave is not only beyond qualified and experienced, but he offers valued advice and truly aspires to make every single wedding such a dream come true. I cannot quantify the minutes I have spent on the phone with Dave, him answering every question I have as well as offering his overwhelming knowledge of weddings that he has learned over the years. This venue is a dream, with every detail and forethought carefully placed. (down to the pavers that won't get your high heel stuck in them). If you are planning a wedding, you will be lucky to book with Dave at the Gardens at Applecross.
