Susan & her team are absolutely incredible, as is their venue. We are so thankful that we found Applewood Farm & had the privilege of working with Susan for over a year to plan our day. Our wedding day was everything we could've asked for & we couldn't have done this without Susan & her team!

Applewood has been an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. When I say my wedding was stressed free I mean it. Susan made it so easy and simple with not only all the decor, setting up, taking down, making sure everything was perfect to suggestions on all other aspects such as a list for catering, flowers, DJ, etc. The professionalism and true care that they took on mine and my husband's wedding was top notch. We will be looking at future events that we can hold here. The price was perfect. The venue was perfect. The extra amenities were perfect. I could not ask for a better location.

Applewood Farms in Pell City made our vision become reality for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding week. Susan and her team went above and beyond to make us feel at home, give ideas, and take our vision seriously. Her pricing is much more affordable than many places we looked into, and much more was included in her pricing.
The Chandelier Barn was stunning, with lights wrapped around each beam, and chandeliers hanging from high ceilings giving an elegant touch to the rustic wood finishes.
The event grounds were absolutely beautiful, with rolling hills and plenty of scenic spots to take stunning pictures. There were also two really cute cottages for the wedding party to spend the night and get ready for the wedding in comfort. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Even when the HVAC wasn't working in the groom's cabin, Susan's team stayed late into the evening to fix it and make sure that the bridal party stayed comfortable.
Susan and her team treated us like family, and made us feel like we were right at home. They took so many of the normal stresses and worry of wedding planning away. If you are looking for a rustic venue to have an indoor or outdoor wedding anywhere near Pell City Alabama, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in early April 2024 and it was a great experience start to finish! Susan is very easy to work with and extremely helpful. She talked through all of the logistics with us, answered our questions, and asked us questions we had not thought of. The venue itself is beautiful, both inside the barn and outside. We had yard games set up outside and a band played inside, and we had a playlist going while the band was off. There is also a fire pit. Everyone had a blast, including kids. We so appreciate all of the staff for helping set up, shuttling folks to the parking lot, and cleaning up after the party. Definitely recommend and would use this venue again.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, 80 acres of absolute beauty!! It was the best experience getting married here. Susan is the owner/coordinator and she was amazing. She’s extremely helpful and sweet. She even made our plates for us while we were busy taking pictures! If you want the best, go with Applewood Farm!

There are not words to describe how incredible a job Susan did with our wedding. My wife and I were tight on budget and inexperienced in the entire wedding planning process. She met with us multiple times (3-month check in, 1-month check in, and 1-week check in) to make sure that nothing was falling through the gaps. Leading up to the wedding, she helped us form a schedule, helped us think of questions to ask our other vendors, and give us an all-around peace of mind about the whole process. The day of the wedding she continued exceeding expectations. Her and her team ensure that the stress is taken off of you on your day. With rain being a threat on our big day, she did a great job of making sure we knew when decisions had to be made. They managed all of the vendors day of which made sure none of us or our parents had to deal with anything. Susan and Applewood Farm should be a top choice for any bride/groom looking to get married in the Pell City area. Susan - thank you again for all that you did!

This place is amazing! From the beauty of the property, the amazing staff, the stress free feeling you have, it’s just perfect! My son and his new bride just married at Applewood. Even though it poured down rain, Susan and her staff had everything ready for it. The golf carts were completely covered so that no one was rained on, the entrance was covered as well. It was truly a beautiful wedding and everything went above and beyond what we could ask or imagine. I even had a friend who said that was the most beautiful wedding she had ever attended. Hats off to Susan and her staff. I would highly recommend Applewood to anyone searching for a wedding venue.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Applewood Farms! Susan and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. We originally had planned an outdoor ceremony; however, the forecast had other plans! Our guests were able to get transported to the venue without getting wet, and the change over from ceremony to reception was flawless, considering it had to occur while our guests were still in the barn. I would definitely recommend this venue!

I cannot say enough about Applewood and all that Susan did. Susan made my wedding a dream come true. Everything that we didn't consider or forgot to consider, Susan had it taken care of. She was perfect at taking care of any issues and remained so calm even though she had to deal with my family the whole time. It was so wonderful, I cannot say enough truly. She was wonderful to work with!

Susan and the Applewood staff were ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! Susan has so much insight and great ideas on the rundown of weddings. By the time my 60 day consultation came about I still didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted. Susan was able to pull out my likes and wants and create them into a beautiful dream. The week of my wedding I was so over the planning and wanted to elope. Three days before the wedding I met with Susan again with my mom. There were still decisions to be made and Susan helped me through each and every one. On the big day, everything went without a hitch. Susan made decisions for me and I couldn’t have done a better job. I can’t give her and Applewood enough praise. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a dream team.

AMAZING! I can't say that enough. Susan went above and beyond for my wedding! It was absolutely perfect! Susan knows exactly what to do for your big day, she is the perfect wedding coordinator. Her team is also amazing, it started raining and in less than five minutes they are putting up a tent for us to stand over. It was a stress free day for me. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for weddings and other events.

My 80 something year old mother and I were to attend the reception of Meagan Freeman and Michael Price. Mother and I both use canes and cannot walk a long distance. Upon arrival, the driveway was blocked off. We told the lady there that we could not walk and it was hard for us to get into a golf cart. She spoke with someone and they said to let us through. When we arrived at the barn, where the reception was to take place, we were told we could not park by the barn and that our car would be moved. I said that would not happen and this man said "I'm the owner and those are the rules." I told him how rude he was being to Mother and Me. I proceeded to take our gifts inside. When I got back to the car, I told him that I knew Bill and Barbra Alvis who had built this lovely farm and they would have NEVER spoken to a guest the way he had spoken to Mother and me and that he had ruined the reception for us. He could have cared less. He is suppose to be representing the bride and groom and be courteous to their guests. It might be a pretty venue, but beware if you want your guests to be treated as if they are welcomed.
Vendor response 04/24/2017
We agree with one thing about the above review, we are told by numerous guests at every ev...
ent (including this one) what a lovely venue we have. One thing we have never been accused of is being rude or unwilling to assist our handicap guest(s). We sincerely regret that a guest felt they were treated rudely. We try our best, every event, to accommodate all of our guests, especially the handicapped. In consultations prior to an event, we ask every client if they have any known handicapped guest(s) attending so that we can plan accommodations for them. We make every reasonable concession to ensure our guests have a pleasant visit. Our first priority however is to our clients, and we have procedures in place to expedite the movement of the bridal party, family, vendors and guests around the property. High traffic areas must be kept open and we try our best to explain this in a cordial manner. Most events we host are weddings followed by a reception. This was a reception only since the wedding ceremony took place at a nearby church. We were expecting 200+ guests, all arriving at the same time, since they came directly from the ceremony. They were lined up in the street waiting to turn into our parking lot which is removed from and not visible from the reception facility. The writer above told our gate attendant that they had someone handicapped and they would not ride in a golf cart, they were then told to drive in the main drive. They were directed into the guest arrival area behind another handicapped guest’s car, which had just unloaded a wheel chair and its owner, and were turning around to go to be parked. The writer pulled their vehicle into the area immediately in front of the reception area which must be kept unobstructed for other guests arrival and departure, vendor access and (heaven forbid, emergency vehicles). For this particular reception, the bride and groom were arriving in a vintage car which was to be driven directly to the main door of the reception barn for them to be dropped off to their reception. In order to make a grand entrance for them to be greeted by their bridal party and guests we needed the drop off area clear of all other vehicles to allow their entry for the photographers to capture the best photos possible for them.
The writer (guest) was told they could unload a wheelchair or whomever needed assistance and we would show the driver where to park the car. They were told that we did not allow parking at the barn. Being that they left abruptly, having been on the property less than 5 minutes, we never had an opportunity to offer to have their car valet parked or try to explain why we have parking procedures. We average over one thousand guests per month, many handicapped, and virtually all have no problem with our procedures.

The owner (Susan, I believe her name was) went above and beyond at my friend's recent wedding. I was a bridesmaid and am in a wheelchair, and she did everything she could to help me and make things as easy as possible for all of us. I was BLOWN AWAY at her compassion and her servant's heart. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, the staff is incredible. I'll definitely be recommending this venue to everyone I know!

Susan Boozer is amazing!!!! She is very organized, has an amazing memory for wedding details, she herself (the owner of Applewood Farm) set up my tables and decorated them and also set up the outside ceremony with signs and flowers down the aisle etc. She hardly left my side the whole night, not right next to me but a good 10 ft to make sure we were going to schedule, to see if I needed anything to drink or eat, to casually recommend we do pictures or cutting of the cake. She made it fun and care free. I did not have to worry about anything. The staff were so sweet as well! GORGEOUS venue, I definitely recommend it!

Applewood farm and their staff made me feel at home as soon as I got there. The site is beautiful, whether you want an indoor, outdoor, traditional, or modern wedding, rehearsal, or event. Susan, the coordinator, made me feel like both a valued customer and a close family friend. She offered advice as I planned my wedding (as I didn't have much help) but ultimately let me make all the calls and helped me put together a beautiful day! She really helped on wedding day especially with corralling my vendors, family, and wedding party into being on time and stress-free. Loved everything about my wedding at Applewood Farm!

We searched high and low for the perfect venue. When we arrived at Applewood Farm we knew instantly that this was "it". The grounds were absolutely beautiful!! But on the actual wedding day 6 months later we experienced so much more. The owner(s) and staff took control and handled everything so professionally. Everything went off like clockwork. Everyone that worked there was so helpful and kind from the start of our day until we all drove away. They treated us all like family. Between the BEAUTIFUL land, cabin, barn...everything and the wonderful crew I can't imagine a better venue!

Would not have changed this setting for anything. Beautiful scenery, gorgeous chandelier barn and very helpful and organized staff. Susan was very helpful and accommodating along the journey to the wedding day and she and her staff worked extra hard the day of to make sure things went off without a hitch! We have had so many compliments and raves about our venue. The cost varies from day of the week to time of the year. As well as hours spent on site. You are not limited to which vendors you may bring in which is nice when budgeting! Definitely pros!

Sweet Apple Farm was absolutely the most perfect place for my wedding!! We had our rehearsal dinner there the night before and they had enough accommodations on property so that our bridal party could stay and we could all spend some time together before the big day. Susan and her staff were absolutely wonderful!!! Everything was smooth and flawless, down to the last detail. I can't express enough how happy I am that I chose Sweet Apple Farm for my wedding!!!
