    The apairy staff are

    THE APAIRY is a beautiful Venue and the food is good! However, the whole planning experience was horrible!! If you make one little change plan (example) salad. plan on double the price. Poor Communication. Owner (Cooper) very rude and arrogant!! The Manager (Ewing Anne) has a resting mean face and looks like she hates her job! Zero personality! The both appear as they need to find new jobs. Miserable people! KIMBERLY HALL

    The Apiary's reply:

    The Apiary Team values constructive critiques and are very happy to address your concerns. We are sorry to hear that you feel the planning process was not to your satisfaction. Actually, we have not found any documentation that shows where you were a part of any planning email threads, phone calls, or invoicing. I can assure you though, we had more than 150 email transactions with the hosts of the event as well as countless phone calls. Once the event planner was scheduled to start her duties with the hosts, she and the Apiary Team were in constant contact.

    Unfortunately, we are not sure of your reference to the salad. All of our salads, regardless of the...

    Beautiful venue, communication needs improvement

    This venue is absolutely the most beautiful venue I have ever seen and the food is impeccable. With that being said, this venue could do much better with communication. We were double booked for our rehearsal and weren't made aware until the week before the wedding, and I was never directly told by anyone at the venue. After that communication really came to an end with the point of contact which is a shame. If you are able to work past this and it won't stress you out to know whether things are set in stone or not, then I definitely recommend this venue. Personally, for me I would deal with it all again just because it is simply...

    Book it Now!!

    I am not going to try and describe our experience with the Apiary. It was simply magical. Cooper and his staff are world class. You will not find a better venue to host your event/wedding.

    Amazing wedding venue!

    The Apiary is such an amazing venue! The staff was very friendly and very easy to communicate with. We loved having our wedding here! They made sure everything was perfect and exactly how we wanted it to be.

    Incredible venue with incredible people!

    The Apiary is an incredible event venue. I'm getting married there in a few months, and they have been so patient, helpful, and supportive of our process! Everyone on staff has been willing to answer any and all questions, and the venue itself is beyond stunning. Couldn't be happier!

    Unforgetable

    As a bride, seeing the tulips in the garden during my final walk--through gave me chills. The Apiary is gorgeous, filled with perfect details, and the service is impeccable. My friends and family have raved about it being the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever been to. (I have to say, I agree.) And the food and cocktails... incredible.

    I will say Cooper (in charge of the menu and layout) and his wife Mandy (in charge of appointments, paperwork, and billing) are particular about how they prefer to be communicated (Cooper exclusively uses phone and Mandy exclusively uses email). Because of this, at times I had to repeat what I discussed with one to the other....

    The Apiary offers an extraordinary experience. We booked with them before the location was even completely built to serve as both the ceremony and reception venue. We were able to visit, see the progress, and discuss our ideas with them well in advance. Mandy and Cooper are so gracious and professional. The food is amazing--our guests are still commenting and raving two weeks later. Their staff are incredibly professional and well-trained. Mandy was always willing to discuss any questions and details, and Cooper offered excellent menu ideas and variety. The Apiary is a true gem in our city!

    Working with Cooper Vaughn was a pure delight! The taste, Quality and presentation of his food is First Class. He worked with both my daughter and myself to accomplish everything we wanted for the wedding reception. EVERY person kept telling me how great the food was before, during and after the wedding.
