"Laurie,
we never formally thanked you for all that you did for our wedding- it was absolutely wonderful.
Thank you times a million for your patience, perfection, and guidance."

the Appel is magical, Laurie is great

We had our wedding at The Appel, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Laurie and her entire team were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and kind throughout the entire process. Laurie went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right — her calm professionalism and genuine care made the planning stress-free and enjoyable.

On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly that we could simply relax and enjoy the celebration. The venue looked stunning, the timing was seamless, and every element felt personal and special — a true reflection of us as a couple. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the space was and how flawlessly the day flowed.
We can’t thank Laurie and The Appel team enough for creating such a memorable, meaningful experience. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, organization, and heart, The Appel is the perfect choice!

"They made the process so simple and we felt very comfortable leaving our vision in their hands to execute. The venue was absolutely gorgeous inside and out and the snow that fell that day made everything look like a scene out of a movie."

Laurie and her husband were the absolute best and made us feel so cared for and at ease during our big day. They made the process so simple and we felt very comfortable leaving our vision in their hands to execute. The venue was absolutely gorgeous inside and out and the snow that fell that day made everything look like a scene out of a movie. We can’t thank them enough for what they did for us and would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding or event space.

"We highly recommend the Appel Inn! We had the most perfect wedding there. The owners Laurie and Gerd were so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. They made planning and having a wedding so so easy. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the rain or shine ceremony space is a must (I know it rained that day and we had peace of mind we could still have our ceremony outside.).
The cocktail hour on the deck and the reception area was so intimate and beautiful. Book your wedding there now."

The Appel Inn holds a very special place in my heart! I have shot many weddings over the years at the Appel and its never anything short of spectacular! Laurie is incredible to work with and I can speak as both a wedding professional and customer, as I love the venue so much; on top of many weddings photographed there, my beautiful wife and I decided ourselves to tie the knot at the Appel back in 2016 and couldn't have been any happier!

"...the most breathtaking landscape for any type of event."

We can not recommend The Appel Inn more highly. We had our wedding there on 10/10/21, and were blown away. Laurie and her husband are truly incredible, and were instrumental to making our day special.

To start off- the venue is absolutely gorgeous. You barely need to decorate it all, it is beautiful and elegant all on its own. It is classic and timeless, and utilizes natural light so beautifully. The outdoor space is beautifully maintained and is great for guests to get some air and hang out. There are heaters to keep the space usable after dark and in the colder months. We did lawn games, which were a huge hit. There is a great dance floor that doesn’t monopolize the space. The venue is gorgeous no matter the weather. Having a bonfire pit was incredible and really added to the atmosphere. The venue has a built-in rain plan as well, which was an enormous incentive for us to book and was something that we were grateful for and eased a lot of anxiety. There are so many cute little spots for photos, both for guests and for the photographers.

Laurie is an absolute godsend. She acted as our day-of coordinator, and managed our timeline so well. We did not have to worry about timing, timelines, schedules, or anything. Laurie and our DJ would come get us when we needed to be somewhere, and that was it! We were able to completely relax and enjoy our party. Laurie is fantastic for planning as well! When you sign the contract, you get a binder with recommended vendors that have worked at the venue before, which is worth its weight in gold. We chose our caterer, DJ, and photographer out of the binder, and were over the moon with all of them. Laurie has been planning weddings for a long time, and as people who have never attended a wedding before, we wanted someone who would not hesitate to tell us if our ideas were stupid or wouldn’t work how we want them to.

We truly could not have been happier with our wedding, every aspect was absolutely perfect. The Appel Inn was worth every penny, and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a personalized, beautiful, FUN wedding venue. It was so lovely to have space for the guests to comfortably spread out and be there in a way that was comfortable for them.
