OVERVIEW

Located on two hectares of stunning land, The Apple Farm is one of South Australia’s hidden treasures. South of Mt Gambier, The Apple Farm features rows of grapevines and a thousand apple trees – in spring, the backdrop to your wedding photos would be stunning apple blossoms and grapevine foliage. A dreamy rustic venue with a chic winery aesthetic, The Apple Farm hosts charming country weddings.

A family-run estate, there’s something inherently charming about The Apple Farm. With rows of grapevines and apple trees on the two-hectare property, this stunning wedding venue boasts rustic elements that evoke a sense of relaxed country elegance. The main reception area is a gorgeous peaked-ceiling room with textured rugs, wine barrels, and timber accents. Guests immediately feel at home in this spacious area and can step out to enjoy the country air on the attached verandah & glory vine roof.

Looking out at the manicured lawns, you’ll discover the perfect ceremony location, the vines at your back. A wooden arbour with floral decor is a perfect touch to this outdoor affair, and the venue supplies furniture, wine barrels, and other basic decoration. The Apple Farm’s ceremonies start at $650, with reception hire a further $900. That includes all setup and pack down, staff attending to your guests, up to six meetings ahead of your wedding day, and an experienced wedding planner who will help you coordinate the day.

"The owners are genuinely interested in making your experience at the Apple Farm unique and special and go the extra mile to accommodate. I have been there for a range of functions, both personally and professionally and never been disappointed." Caroline

What you’ll love about The Apple Farm for your wedding in regional South Australia:

  • The stunning property. You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a spot for wedding photos. Amongst the sprawling vines, beneath the blossoming apple trees, or tucked up beside the fire that burns during the colder months.
  • The inclusions. The Apple Farm’s wedding packages are comprehensive, including furniture, basic decor, staff, setup and pack down, and more. Your wedding planner will talk you through the in-house paddock-to-plate catering, ranging from roving canapes, woodfired pizzas, elaborate grazing tables, and seated feasts.

"What a stunning place to visit... attended a wedding there, the staff were just so accommodating especially the owner... the food was hands down delicious the pit fire with a glass of wine just topped it off!" Beck

FAQ

For a sit down meal, 110 is probably our maximum- but that is FULL. Not a lot of room left for other stations like cake, gifts, DJ, Photobooths etc. 80 is a good, comfortable number.

Sure- we can do more- but we'll need to be creative with our seating plan {which wehave experience in!} Best we have this chat in person, at the farm, so that we can have a visual.

The short of it- is that if you have more than 80- I'll try and convince you to go with our stand up canape & woodfired pizza option, with casual seating around the venue.

BTW- We are licensed for 200 guests.

Look- there's no best time. I love ALL the seasons. When spring comes along I think- oh- I love Spring the best- then Summer and Autumn come along and I think- no- this is the best season. Then dreary old winter comes along- and again- I think how magic it is at this time of year.

Apple season is Feb-May and apple blossoms are usually mid-late October. As far as weather goes- its unpredictable.

Feb & March are probably the most popular months for 'hot/dry' weather.

Generally Oct-April is our high season for weddings. But in saying that- some of my favourite celebrations here were in winter- with smaller more intimate groups.

I can't be bias for seasons- I LOVE THEM ALL- for different reasons.

CAN I WHAT!!!!

We are blessed with so many talented people in this region. I have compiled a 'FRIENDS OF THE FARM' list. These are local vendors that we value and trust. I can recommend you hire these people to help make your event super special. Feel free to ask them if they have an special deal for any apple farm guests. They may, they may not. But trust me when I tell you that they will not disappoint.

SOOOO MUCH STUFF!

We have chairs, arbours, vases, glass and wooden plates and bowls. Props for grazing & sweets tables. Signing tables & chairs for the ceremony. We have rugs and wine barrels and timber furniture galore. We have so much stuff that the list goes on and on.

Its best that you come out to the farm and check it out for yourself.

There are certain things that we don't supply- like table clothes, white chairs for the ceremony, fairy lights, candles & vases. But what works the best- is when you come with your vision & styling ideas- and I have things that we can add for a little extra pizzazz.

You get a day before the wedding to do your set up. Generally, the day before is set up & rehearsal day. Unless of course we have a function on the day before. If this is the case itmay be a day or two prior to your wedding day.

This will be discussed with you beforehand & coordinated with all your vendors so that we are all on the same page.

Pack up is usually done on the night or the day after- but again- we will have open communication regarding this.

Kelsie & the team at the Apple Farm did an incredible job from start to finish to make our day everything we could have hoped for! You can tell Kelsie is a pro and has so much experience, she was so helpful with great suggestions but also open to trying to new things. We had the best day and are so thankful for all the work her and her team put in to ensure a smooth running day. Would 100% recommend them for any events!

The Apple Farm, this venues owners Kelsie and Troy, and their great team of staff will always have a special place in our hearts. We love The Apple Farm and for hosting the best day and party of our lives. We were a couple that postponed our wedding due to Covid, however the positive of this was that we got to spend more time with The Apple Farm’s team. They have nailed an incredible balance of professionalism, attention to detail and cultivating a feeling of home in their venue. We loved from day one their openness to creativity and the flow of our wedding day. They offered great recommendations for local vendors and took great interest in working towards the vibe we wanted for the day from the food to set up to the wedding. Our guests almost years later are raving about our wedding too! ♥️

Eloping

Hi, we are looking to elope. Most packages we’ve seen for venues come with a celebrant and photographer. We’d like my partners brother to perform the ceremony but as he isn’t a registered celebrant we had looked at doing the legal bits during the week at the registry office. We also don’t require a photographer as we already have one from previous events we’d like to use again. Most elopement packages come with both of these things as a must have inclusion. Any suggestions??

The Apple Farm

Hi Emma,

I'm very happy to inform you that as a function venue- we don't have 'elopements packages' where you have to use certain vendors- however I am very well connected in our region, if you would like a celebrant to assist you with the legals, or flowers, or cakes or whatever.

We will charge you the necessary fee's based on how elaborate your elopement for set up and hire {arbours, chairs, fairy lights etc.}. Often just a deposit {refundable after the event- credited to bar/food}, as well as the reception hire fee..... but this is negoitable.  

On our website you’ll find lots of photos in our gallery which you might like a look at. Our Facebook and Instagram pages also have lots of pics for you to get inspired by.
