“I had my wedding at The Gardens, and I can easily say it was the best decision I made! The venue itself is so unique and beautiful. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect for our Islamic ceremony. The reception space was glowing with light through the gorgeous windows, and I loved that we weren’t in a “boxed walled” room as our reception space. David was such a joy to work with, he made the process of booking the venue such a breeze. The day of the wedding, he was personally running around making sure the day was running smoothly. I wouldn’t have wanted my wedding to be any other way!”

“My wife and I had our ceremony and reception at The Gardens on August 13th. We are thankful that we committed to an outdoor ceremony, because the outdoor space is visually stunning. We used no decorations in the outdoor area, allowing the natural flowers and shrubs, the distant trees, and the simple and elegant veranda to do the work. We wouldn’t have done it differently! We almost moved inside for the heat, which is the other incredible value of The Gardens. The indoor space is also stunning. Classic but not stuffy, clean, and spacious. It felt like more windows than walls, and the view is gorgeous. If you need a break from the DJ and the crowd, there is a wrap around porch with fire pits and a great view of the pristine, Nicklaus-designed golf course. So, if the weather doesn’t cooperate and an outdoor ceremony isn’t an option, moving inside won’t feel like a sacrifice. Similarly, there is an indoor and outdoor space for cocktail hour, both classy as ever, but we can confirm your Old Fashioned tastes great in either spot. Working with Applecross was smooth. Our coordinator was enthusiastic and attentive to the details, and answered our calls whenever we needed him. Our caterers enjoyed the renovated kitchen space. The photographer was thrilled with her options. The general manager also showed up to assist and check on our day, which left us feeling confident that we were being taken care of. In summary, The Gardens at Applecross is a beautiful venue in the Philadelphia area that has the potential to give you the wedding you’ve always wanted. All your friends had their barn-wedding in Lancaster, why don’t you do something a little different and book The Gardens?”

“A wonderful experience! I am the mother of the bride. Our family’s experience with The Gardens at Applecross was excellent. David McCracken is clearly experienced and helped us make the best choices throughout the year-long planning process. Our family really enjoyed working with him. He was always available to answer our questions (and his suggestions resulted in a beautiful, organized and fun wedding day that we were able to enjoy!). The venue is breathtaking both inside and out, so much attention to every detail. We especially loved the garden area (where the ceremony took place) and the stunning ballroom, full of windows to showcase the autumn leaves and landscaping outdoors. We could not be happier that we chose this incredible place.”

“Beautiful Modern Venue. I attended a wedding this past weekend at The Gardens at Applecross. Immediately, I was impressed by their outdoor ceremony space. The gardens and grounds are beautiful, especially for photos / video. The room is extremely modern and the built in lighting was incredible. Dave was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend!”
