You found the perfect venue!

We got married at Fat Apple Farm and could not have asked for a more perfect venue. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. The bridal suite was spacious and beautiful—perfect for getting ready with my bridal party.

The family who owns the property—Sadie, Steve, and Nancy—were so accommodating and supportive throughout the entire year of planning. They were always available to answer questions, offer advice, and truly made us feel like we were in great hands. They also provided a huge collection of decorations we could use, which saved us a ton of money and made setup so much easier.

The venue itself is stunning, with thoughtful touches throughout—like yard games, a swing set to keep the kids entertained, a cozy fire pit, and super clean indoor bathrooms (which is a huge plus for an outdoor venue!).

I can’t say enough good things about Sadie—she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She didn’t leave my side, helping with my dress, grabbing me drinks, holding my phone, making sure I was comfortable—you name it, she did it. Her support made all the difference, and I truly felt cared for every step of the way.

I would recommend Fat Apple Farm a thousand times over. If you’re looking for a venue run by kind, passionate people who genuinely care about making your day perfect this is it!

Cannot recommend them enough

From the moment we toured this venue, we knew this was the place for us. There was so much flexibility in everything that we did and the entire Fat Apple crew was always there along the way.
During set up, Nancy and Steve were there to help. They were always asking "what can we help you with" which helped to eliminate the stress that we were feeling. We had to move things around to have the ceremony inside due to weather and they made it completely seamless. Sadie was there to help all day and was my go to person. She made me feel so much less stressed.
I cannot recommend this venue enough. They are so easy to work with and so willing to help with everything.

Amazing to say the least

Where do I even begin. I found it appropriate to post this today, as Mike and I have been married 1 month today! We started looking/touring venues over a year prior to our wedding date- October 9, 2021. Mike stumbled upon Fat Apple Farm and coordinated a time to stop and see the venue. Upon arriving we were greeted with smiles. Steve, Nancy, and Sadie initially met us and walked us around the venue. They provided us with books of photos that included previous weddings, different table/chair layouts and the RED folder! This folder I still have today, even after the wedding lol. This detailed the MANY amenities that Fat Apple Farm provides. Upon discussing dates, not sure if it was coincidence or fate. I am now going with fate. A fall date had opened, October 9, 2021. I was stubborn and wanted a fall wedding, and this would be perfect. We saw everything that Fat Apple Farm had to offer and knew this was it! They encouraged us to check out all our options and view other venues (I originally thought this was weird) but later figured out they knew we would book with them 😊. The date was then set! Our wedding date- October 9, 2021. Our family obviously wanted to see the venue which Fat Apple Farm was more than accommodating with us coming multiple times to see. Within 30 days of our date, we set up an appt to review our final details and make our final selections of things we wanted to incorporate to our day. They literally never said no to me. I wanted lots of random things added and the only response they would give me was “we can make that happen” This made my wedding planning a breeze. Anything I needed done or wanted, taken care of. Thursday worked the best for me to decorate which they were happy to accommodate. I showed up with a large enclosed trailed with all my decorations etc. Everything was unpacked and decorated before I even knew what happened. Until you experience everything you have been planning the last year come to reality is truly amazing. Finally wedding day is here! All my girls arrived around 8:30 to start getting ready. This truly is a day long process. Sadie made sure everything was happening according to my timeline (found one online LOL) she even added things I literally never thought about. She helped me get in my dress-that is quite the production, carried extra Kleenex for me, how did I not know I would need that and even helped me to the bathroom: s …. I cannot thank Sadie enough for her kind support through all of this. Anyone that is considering this venue. 110% book Fat Apple Farm!!! All our guest(s) loved the venue and different options to spread out; sit by the fire or join in on the dance floor. I cannot thank Fat Apple Farm enough for EVERYTHING! From the smallest details to everything being packed up for me when I arrived for clean up the following morning. THANK YOU!

Highly Recommend!!!

We are so grateful that our original venue cancelled on us, because Fat Apple Farms was a dream come true! The venue is absolutely stunning and with so many perfect places for pictures. They also have a variety of decorations to use for all of the little touches. Having the venue for the entire weekend made our wedding day less stressful, and everything easier. Our rehearsal dinner at the farm and getting ready in the bridal suite was perfect and made things so much easier. Overall, the best part of the venue was the people, the Liverseed family. They were so flexible and accommodating to all of our wishes (not to mention their great sense of humor and friendly personalities). They had great suggestions and advice as to how to best prepare for the day. They suggested we used food trucks for our food venue (a big highlight of the night). On the day of the event, they were all hands on deck! They helped park cars, directed people, set up chairs and tables, restocked food trays, kept us on schedule, helped organize photos, fixed my dress (many times), flipped the dinner to a dance, ran the bar, and so much more! We were blown away by the support, organization, and flexibility. It was because of them that I did not stress on our wedding day. It was because of them that our wedding exceeded our wildest dreams. We can’t thank them enough. We highly recommend having your next event at Fat Apple Farms!

Perfect venue

I am so glad that we chose to get married at Fat Apple Farm. We had our wedding on 10/24/2020. The trees outside for the ceremony were a beautiful colors, and the red shed provided a cute, warm reception area for dinner and dancing afterwards. Outside, there's a beautiful patio area (with some outdoor heaters), a bonfire pit, and a playground for kids. Bar area can be set up inside or outside. The basement of the house is set up perfectly (and separately) for a bridal suite and man cave for everyone to get ready. The property has a lot of cute areas for bridal party pics. The best part about booking this venue is the flexibility to adjust the package to whatever you need. There is a lot of help available from the Fat Apple Farm family, especially on the day of the wedding (coordinating, bar tending, etc). They did an AMAZING job taking care of set up, clean up, directing vendors and guests, and caring about our special day just as much as us. Thank you Fat Apple Farm for the perfect wedding day!

Cannot recommend highly enough

Wow! The property itself is gorgeous, with several beautiful locations for an outdoor ceremony. It is also equipped to handle the wedding party for the entire day, with ample space for the bridal party (with a few vanities and a separate room for the bride) and space with some entertainment (pool, foosball, etc.) for the groomsmen. There is a lot of indoor space for the guests, we comfortably sat about 150 people with no need to clear tables for a dance floor. The outdoor space around the barn was incredible, with a lot of outdoor space great for mingling complete with a patio, kids play area, fire pit, and space for lawn games. There is also a staging area with freezer and fridge space and running water. The barn also has indoor restrooms.

While the property is a gem for sure, what really sets this location apart is the family that owns and operates the venue. I can't imagine having a smarter, more compassionate, down-to-earth staff onsite than we had for our wedding. They made the entire day a relative breeze and I honestly can't picture the day without their patience and hard work.

Add to all this the fact that you get the space for the entire weekend, an almost unreasonable amount of flexibility, and it's still very affordable, I really cannot recommend Fat Apple Farm highly enough.

My husband and I were married here about a year and half ago. This amazing venue has everything you could want and more. We were able to start decorating a large space for 300 people 3 days prior to the wedding up until the weekend hours of the evening even. We brought in our own lights, large variety of decor and even a projector screen was able to be attached to the wall. The space is so spacious the possibilities are endless. Your guest will enjoy how spacious the entire property is. There are beautiful scenery spots for amazing photo opportunities, large outside play structure which the kids all love, and plenty of space for parking. We even were able to have a Fireworks display show in the nearby field.
We have been told by so many family and friends how's wonderful our wedding was and beautiful it was. Said it was one of the best weddings they ever went to and thanks to the red shed our day was perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Red Shed is such a lovely venue! I had the privilege of photographing the owner's daughter's wedding there. Such a large space to create whatever you like. Beautiful surroundings, including a pond and a hill for the perfect sunset. Ample space for parking as well. A great option!
