The Apple Blossom Inn - A Full Weekend Venue!

er pieces. The house feels like home and exudes an air of class. From the ceremony in the front yard surrounding a fountain to receiving our guests in the foyer everything was magical. We whole heartedly recommend this venue!

had landscapers come in to clear the forest for us, as there had never been a forest ceremony at ABP before. Peggy is full of energy and ideas, and I can honestly tell you that I never felt any stress AT ALL leading up to or during that amazing weekend! We rented ABP for the whole weekend and it was just a giant party done exactly how we wanted with no restrictions on what we wanted. I can't explain in words how grateful we are for Peggy & ABP. We had an amazing weekend that we will never forget. We're already discussing an anniversary ceremony there again in the future! :)

of friends stated that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Love is Love Peggy Leg! Thanks for sharing your time and love with me and Nita!

est place to have a wedding or any other special celebration.

she got our money, she completely changed. She went back on almost everything she said. She was unreachable during almost the entire wedding planning process. She does not take care of the venue. There was trash everywhere and we had clean up the majority. Right before the wedding, the sewage backed up into the backyard (where the reception is) with toilet paper and tampons! Her kitchen had dead bugs and mold everywhere. She gave us our final invoice 2 hours before the wedding (supposed to receive 10 days in advance). She tried to charge us an overnight shipping fee for flowers she forgot to order. My bridesmaids even heard Peggy talking bad about me the following day! My biggest regret is booking at Apple Blossom Plantation. I still married my best friend but I hope no brides goes through what I did.

usion about everything, is the bar open or not, can we dance or not, what about the toast, it goes on and on. She would interrupt and speak out loud, either speaking loud, or grabbing the mic from the DJ, out of place. She started with telling all the guests , right before the wedding ceremony started, the history of the house, that it was called a plantation but it never had slaves, that the original owners gave her a portrait or some sort of painting that was hanging in the house. Then she said that she had to add another table in a corner for a group of people that did not RSVP, and decided to show up at the wedding, "she is not naming anybody", but you could clearly see a group of people standing in a corner. So rude and Inappropriate. She would give instructions to DJ, then change it right back to something else. She almost missed the toast, no champagne was passed and most did not even have a drink to toast with. After the wedding ceremony, people wanted to dance, but she did not allow it, even though the food service was delayed. She was also cleaning tables, she would grab dishes and glasses right in front of people's faces engaged in conversation. Clearly, no manners and no experience as a waitress. The food was so simply, nothing fancy, and it was prepared way ahead of time, it wasn't even hot. Now the powder room, there was one single fabric towel for all those guests! and it was an old worn out towel, ready to be thrown out. It was soaked when I used it, and it was early in the night. She is completely unprepared for events in her house. Another big issue, that night it was raining a lot, and she was completely unprepared. Nobody was mopping the floors, not for for safety concerns that somebody would get hurt and for the couple and guests comfort. There are big draining issues in the backyard and front yard. People had to walk down the wet stairs that take you to the backyard while holding their dinner plates and drinks, and then land in a huge puddle of water. After complaints, she pulled the bartender from his duty to brush the water out of the landing, unsuccessfully since there is a draining issue (the landing is a much lower level than the rest of the floor ) . Then she laid down one bath towel to try to get rid of the water, it probably needed 5 towels piled up to level the area. Nobody mopped the dance floor at any time! We know of one man that slipped down the stairs and into the puddle and dance floor. This was not a sudden rain, it had been on the forecast the entire week. Her comments?....we should be glad this is not a hurricane! she didn't care, and did not prepare at all for it. As I chat with other guests on my table about how the owner is trying to do too much and nothing well, there she comes down the wet stairs by herself holding the wedding cake to take it out to the backyard from the bar area. The tables are set up too close to the edge of the tent, so any guests were getting wet due to the way the tables are set up. I don't recommend this location. If you do, you will have to overlook so many things because it will be your wedding day and you will you already be there and you will try to make the best of it, since you can't go back and make other plans.

, second, I assisted my best friend as her daughter was getting married. Both times I there was horrible, with the second visit being worse. No one is allowed in the kitchen, and the reason for that is simply nastiness. The kitchen had bugs all around the fridge seal, the counter tops looked as if they had not been cleaned in weeks, and mold is everywhere! The floors throughout the house are very dirty, nothing has been dusted in ages, and the outside areas have junk hidden behind every bush. The pool looked decent however, with the rest of the upkeep there was no way we were getting in it. I could keep going on and on about how gross this place is but it would be a whole narrative. As far as Peggy goes, she is super nice, but does not follow through with nothing she says. One example being the order of the flowers through her florist, they were never ordered by her, and she did not let anyone know until the evening before the wedding. The food that she hosted for the reception was horrible, the steak tasted freezer burnt, and the vegetables had no flavor, if we had noticed how horrible the kitchen were prior to the reception dinner, the food would have never been prepared in there and served from there. In conclusion, if you are wanting to have a wonderful wedding with less stress, by all means AVOID this place. Don't let the first look drag you in, because you will end up regretting it...........

of saying "sorry I can't help" she gave me some ideas to make what I wanted work. I really appreciate her focus on my desires.

to have bouquets and boutonnières made with her, and they turned out more amazing than I ever imagined. The day of the wedding I didn't worry about anything because I knew she would take care of it. And she did. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is. The house speaks for itself and Peggy makes it feel like home. Thank you for everything Peggy. You are a wonderful, amazing, beautiful person, and I am so blessed to have met you!

ail and made my son and daughter in law's dreams come true. The plantation was the perfect place for a beautiful intimate wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend the Apple Blossom Plantation for any event.

was blown away with how elegant the flowers came out! The flowers were healthy enough to survive the 3+hour car ride home the day after the wedding as well!

e had, which I thought was great. She did provide coffee and hot tea for us to drink while we sat and waited. First of all, Peggy has A LOT of energy. I have a more laid back personality and do not believe I would have been able to keep up with her for the many months until my wedding date. Eventually, she offered that we give ourselves a self-tour while we waited for her to finish up, again, this was fine. But then we walked around. The house looked like it had not been cleaned in years. There was a noticeable layer of dust and dirt on the hardwood floors, which could also have desperately benefited from a nice polishing. There was also a corner china cabinet that had a chunk torn off, and the front doors were being held together by scotch tape. They have a pool out back and the cover was cracked and ripped. Since I was planning a December wedding, this was quite an eyesore. They also have those heaters outside for guests that may want to sneak away for a quick smoke, they looked like they had been thrown off the roof. Completely dilapidated. My fiance and father were so thrown off by the appearance of the property they they left before our appointment time had even started. I apologized to Peggy and saw myself out. She texted me a little while after we left and told me that she had her girls coming in to clean later that day, but I thought that would be something that should be taken care of before a potential client comes to view the property.

r venue. And not only is Peggy the owner of the venue she is a caterer as well. A great bonus to help streamline the amount of vendors you have. Peggy is super sweet and wants you to have the wedding of your dreams. She can be a little delayed to email responses but have some patience, she will get back to you! We are beyond grateful for all her help! We are SO happy with our choice to get married at Apple Blossom! *Notes to brides: If you have a specific date in September-October book early! I booked a whole year before our wedding and a lot of the weekends in those months were already booked!

that she was on our side the whole time. Our budget was honored with respects to our wishes. Additionally, she made coordinating with the vendors easy. One of my favorite moments was overhearing my Mother say, “This has been one of the most stress free weddings I have been to.” This was possible because Peggy, the coordinator, was invested in my husband and I and our vision for the wedding from day 1. From these newlyweds, supported by their family and friends, we would like to invite other couples seeking a venue to turn to Peggy at Apple Blossom Plantation. She is well equipped to make your day as special and as unforgettable as ours.

numerous resources to help us save money. My husband and I paid for the wedding ourselves and Peggy gave us options for DIY money savers and ways to keep us within our budget. We stayed at the plantation for the entire weekend with our wedding party. The weekend was like a huge party with our friends and family. Friday was the rehearsal dinner and after party. Saturday brunch and primping for the wedding. Above all, Peggy acted as a wedding coordinator for the wedding and reception. Peggy even cooks the guest breakfast in the morning after the wedding. She made us feel welcome and like family at the Plantation. Even after the wedding, she keeps in touch with you when needed. The plantation is beautiful and can be low cost or high society with all of the options they offer. Apple Blossom is now one of our family memories that we will always cherish. Thank you Peggy, Cory & Annamae

age feel with the plantation house complete with "old-timey" décor, wood-burning fireplaces and grand staircase; "party-friendly" reception tent connected to the house, located beside an in-ground pool and bountiful fields for lawn games and mingling guests. We didn't have an official wedding coordinator, but Peggy went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. This included contacting my vendors to make sure they arrived on time (three of them had three different times!!), cueing the wedding party went to ascend down the aisle during the ceremony, directing guests to the bar, bathrooms, wherever they needed to go, cleaning up after a couple of friends who drank too much, etc. etc. I would have been SO much more stressed and worried about details without her reassurance and complete control over everything. We had MANY guests, (including my husband's grandparents who have ben around for quite some time) tell us that it was the most FUN wedding they had ever attended. Everyone complimented the serene location (a lovely drive as the leaves were changing in October through the small town of Providence Forge), lovely accommodations (plenty of space to mingle with other guests or relax inside to get away from the loud music, for instance), and overall ambiance of Apple Blossom! I am SO happy that I discovered this venue at a bridal show and that Peggy runs everything. My wedding day was truly perfect and I owe it all to them!

or her job. She is attentive, creative and supportive. (After the wedding my grandparents said they wanted to adopt her.) As you approach the B&B down the driveway, it is breathtaking. The inside is beautifully decorated and feels warm and inviting. This site is functional for both large and small weddings. I got ready in the large bridal suite. Our ceremony was in the front of the home near the fountain. What I loved most about the bridal suite, is that I could peak out the window and see my guests arrive. I could see my husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle. The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The coctail hour was held inside the B&B. My favorite part of the inside of the B&B, is the shelves next to where they put the bar. Because our wedding was smaller, my husband and I decided to frame pictures of us with all our guests. The shelves accomidated all the pictures, which looked classy and personal and photographed beautifully. The rain started just as our reception kicked off, but that was ok- because Apple Blossom's tent in the backyard is attached to the home, so no one got wet walking out to the reception. Peggy worked closely with our vendors to make sure everything was done right, and on time. Apple Blossom did the catering for the event and all the food was hot, flavorful and delicious. After the reception had died down, my husband and I made our way to the bridal suite and found that Peggy had been hard at work, leaving us a special surprise in our room. We also felt relieved because our family members, such as my grandparents who are in their late 70s, stayed in one of the rooms at Apple Blossom. It was a relief that they did not have to drive home in the dark! The next morning, Peggy was there bright and early to make us a divine breakfast. Those were the best cheese eggs I have EVER tasted! I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share just how perfect our day was. It all started when we chose Apple Blossome Plantation, and it's the best wedding decision we made. (Other than getting engagaed, of course). Peggy is one of the family now, and we plan to keep in touch for years to come. Well done Peggy and crew :) Thanks for the memories!

the call of duty. There were about 130 people at my wedding and the plantation was the perfect fit. Most of the other vendors were recommended by Peggy and they were all fantastic; things went that much more smoothly because the photographer, DJ, and cake lady were all familiar with the venue and setup. I highly recommend the plantation, and also Ms. Peggy Snead as your event planner!

ome things disappear. This place is beyond gross. There was trash left in the kitchen from at least the weekend before if not the month. Which did not help the fly population. The pool has not been shocked or cleaned in years it looked like. She claims she has a "staff" but I think it is just her multiple personalities coming out. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone.

cheduled, and guess who's????? The place is beautiful at first glance....but at a closer look, it's DIRTY and falling apart. For the money go somewhere else, anywhere else. If you want your day to be special and drama free....DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!!!

cation itself is wonderful for a classic wedding, you get the southern feel of the home but with contemporary ammenities, like a large catering kitchen and 5 working bathrooms. The house also has a 30x60 tent attached to the back of the house which worked perfectly for our wedding. All of our guests were impressed by the cozy feel of home along with the classic country plantation vibe.
