From the reviews

Me and my now wife got married at Fat Apple Farm this past weekend and it was one of the most magical weekends we both could have ever had. From the staff to the venue itself everything was perfect!!! These are the moments you wish there were more than 5 stars to give.

★★★★★ — Kevin, May 2024

Could not recommend this venue more. The family is amazing to work with and made the whole planning process so pleasant. Planned this wedding remotely and they were so gracious and easy to work with. The venue is filled with trees and ponds and has tons of natural beauty!

★★★★★ — Karrissa, Jul 2023

We came here for our friends wedding and this venue was absolutely STUNNING!! The views amazing and the owners and staff were great and fun to talk to. 10/10 would recommend. Cleaning up afterwards was super easy thanks to them. This wedding and the venue will be brought up for years to come.

★★★★★ — Chris, Oct 2025

Absolutely fantastic location for a wedding. Upscale buildings on family property with the assistance of the family at the event was truly amazing. Highly recommended!!

Getting married at Fat Apple Farm

Fat Apple Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to 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?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues 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 Fat Apple Farm

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Fat Apple Farm — barn 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.
