She made everything so easy and stress free. She also has a great eye for decor. We had to change the ceremony from outside to inside last minute due to rain and they did it without causing us any worry. She is a very calming presence who is dedicated ensuring the couples have a wonderful day. I would highly recommend Applewood Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable venue!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Creekside Gathering Place in late September 2024. It was actually the only venue we visited, because as soon as we met Joni and saw the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and the cozy historic barn/reception space, we were in. Joni is so great, she feels like family to us now. The wedding planner, Katie, is essential to making everything run smoothly. She went above and beyond communicating with us and organizing everything. She made sure that we didn't have to do anything other than enjoy ourselves--from the ceremony, to dancing, drinking champagne, and cutting cake--she was amazing. Joni did a beautiful job with our ceremony, and she arranged the most gorgeous flowers. Also the photographer Kellyn is very focused and detail-oriented. She works hard to make sure the pictures are perfect, and she made us feel comfortable. A huge thanks to Creekside for giving us a beautiful day that we will always remember so fondly.
