Perfect Wedding!

Happy Apples was so easy to communicate with. They offer use of a bunch of decorations which definitely saved us time and money. They were super flexible when it rained on our wedding day, and we ended up with a standing ceremony. The setting is beautiful inside and out. We felt it was very affordable. My flower girl uses a wheelchair and accessibility was no issue at all- they even have little ramps going up to the doorways outside. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Fall Wedding

We had our wedding at Happy Apple during October and couldn’t have been happier with the venue or the owners! Sarah, her husband, and their employee Erica were just fantastic. So helpful and accommodating. The bar staff were also amazing. The venue itself is the perfect vibe- beautiful and rustic. The bridal and groom suites are perfect. We literally felt at home the entire time we were there. I loved being able to have the venue for the whole weekend. It definitely lowered the stress by being able to decorate on Friday and hold our rehearsal dinner there, enjoy my wedding day on Saturday, and come back to clean up and gather our belongings on Sunday. Highly recommend Happy Apple for your wedding!

Best place to have a wedding

Friendly staff, clean facilities, they are flexible and easy to work with. You can bring in your own caterer. You can have the venue for the whole weekend for less than what most venues charge for just one day. Those are just a few benefits. They went above and beyond to make our day special.
