From the reviews
We had the most stunning wedding here! First, Dave was awesome to work with and always available. The ceremony and cocktail hour are already so beautiful you don't need to spend anything on decor or flowers. The inside is gorgeous as well and I love all the windows in the ballroom.
I am the mother of the bride. Our daughter got married here last Saturday October 21st. I wish I were a better writer so I could accurately describe how wonderful our experience was. From the time we toured the gardens with David McCracken last year, we knew we were in good hands.
The wedding venue of my dreams! I toured this place with David McCracken when it was merely a shell of what was to come (no flooring.. mostly framework with windows) and I could see the vision. There was no doubt that this is where I wanted to celebrate the best day of my life.
The venue is gorgeous year round. We just had an August wedding in the garden and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were all so kind and accommodating. The food was amazing. Dan and Susie made my wedding day on 8/17/25 so carefree, that I able to just relax and enjoy this special day.
Getting married at Gardens at Applecross
Gardens at Applecross comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
