From the reviews

First: The location is truly perfect. We just had our wedding here October 2023 at the Apple Orchard Lodge (ceremony in the Garden) I was set on this location as soon as I saw the pictures online and it was everything I pictured it to be.

★★★★☆ — Brittany, Oct 2023

I don’t even know where to start! My wedding at the Apple Orchard Lodge was absolutely everything I thought it would be and more. From the beginning the whole Say I Do Events team was great. They guided me through the planning process. My wedding coordinator Michelle was simply AMAZING.

★★★★★ — Jordan, Aug 2023

Our daughter and son-in-law were married on July 19, 2025, at the Apple Orchard Lodge and it was truly a day to remember. The ceremony took place in the Creekside, which was absolutely incredible.

★★★★★ — Sue, Apr 2026

I have only wonderful things to say about this venue. Apple Orchard Lodge was our DREAM venue. Not only is it stunning to look at but all the staff who work there go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and runs smoothly.

Getting married at The Apple Orchard Lodge

The Apple Orchard Lodge 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.

Corporate events & private parties at The Apple Orchard Lodge

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Apple Orchard Lodge — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
