We were very disappointed at the lack of professionalism and planning during a Nashville nights event here at Alyson’s.The road and parking areas were pitch black dark with no signage. The venue was lit up inside like high noon. The event start time was 7:00 and we arrived at 7:10. We walked in thinking they must still be setting up still, no big deal. We checked in and were given bracelets, then nothing. We asked ‘where do we sit?’ And were answered ‘the VIP tables are up front.’ There was no VIP service or explanation. Someone else was sitting in the seats we had booked.We stood at a center table for 10 min. No music was playing. No service or direction. Where do we go for the meet and greet? We decided to wait in the warm car until they dimmed the lights and were ready to get started. 10 min later, a woman came out to the car. She knocked on the window to rudely tell us we cant park here, in front of the building, next to the other cars, because it’s a fire lane. We said some signage would be helpful and she said ‘yeah’ as she walked away. We left. We knew the event wasn’t getting any better going forward.The new owners are not paying attention to customer service or details and I can tell from the excuses in the other reviews that they won’t be improving any time soon. Sadly, this treasured location is off our list for future visits.

Very disappointed with the new ownership. Alyson's has been part of our fall tradition for over 15+ years. To charge 4% "fee" for use of a debit card when the national average cost to retailers is 0.73% (less than one percent), $28 for an apple pie, $15 for a small bag for pick your own... all prices are not just high but gouging. Also disappointing are the countless DO NOT ENTER signs... our family used to walk the grounds now most of the site is off limits to orchard / retail guests (no, there was no event the site was blocked off for).

There was zero help at all, and the organizer was fairly rude and completely unhelpful. They do have a lovely bridal suite, but that is about all they have going for them. The one thing they kept up on was busing the tables, but that was also a nightmare as they kept taking everyone’s drinks which were expensive! She took them from right in front of you as you were sitting at the table, yes, full drinks! The only reason I gave them two stars instead of one is because it is a nice property, and the bridal suite was nice. As far as an event venue, I would definitely say zero stars as they offer nothing at all, besides a raging headache, and siphon your banking account.

Beautiful and affordable! Perfect place for a date or family trip. On a gorgeous hill with a view of the mountains and leaves, compete with two beautiful little ponds with ducks and geese. Lots of great apples and expansive orchards. They're apple cider donuts were the best I've had, and the petting zoo was another great touch. They had some live music that day as well which really set the mood out there.A 1/2 bushel of apples was only 25 dollars which is far better than you'll get at the grocery store.

Do not use this place for your wedding venue. The worst experience ever. From my understanding the wedding planner is new and she definitely has no idea what she is doing. If you want to pay thousands of dollars for just a room and some tables go for it. They are extremely understaffed. We were told they would set up the table arrangements. They did not. The wedding party had to do this all on their own. The bridal suite was the only nice part of this venue. The wedding party also had to clean all the tables off and the bridal suite while being rushed out the door at the end of the night. The lodging is nice and on site but they charge hundreds extra for weddings then they do if you book on Airbnb. They also said there could not be early check in for the groomsmen to get ready because check out is at 11 and check in isnt until 3 and it takes 6 hours to clean. Do the math!!! Seriously? They wanted to charge $200 to rent 20 small pumpkins for 1 night. RENT! The coordinator had no idea what was going on was completely unhelpful during the entire process. Wedding planning is stressful but this place took it to another level. The grounds are beautiful. The wedding was supposed to be outside. They charge for the wagon rides and the chairs for the ceremony. It rained so we got none of this but still had to pay for it. The photographer pretty much did the wedding coordinators job while the coordinator only folded napkins and horribly helped out behind the bar. She had no idea what she was doing. The bar was backed up all night and it was a small wedding. After our meals the dirty plates sat on the tables for at least an hour because they have no staff. The wedding turned out beautiful no thanks to Alyson’s at all. Everything was done by the mothers and the bridal party including the Bride herself. Do your self a favor and look elsewhere.In response, If you have nothing to do with the wedding then how do you justify your costs. 3rd, $200 to rent pumpkins? I have been involved in organizing 2 other weddings and each charged fair pricing but also had soo much more involvement with the Bride and overseeing that everything went well. I felt the cost was not nearly the equivalent of what you get by booking this venue. The bride was distressed often because of the lack of communication during planning. Even with your defensive lash back at my review I still by no means recommend your venue to any Bride. Also you spelled my name incorrect and the Brides on the invoice. When the venue was booked there was no other option except an outside vendor. So your comment about them not being recommended and not excepting outside vendors is a lie. Also the guests who were told to arrive early due to the wagon rides, were not allowed access to the bar and had to just sit for an hour at their table. I will say in regards to lodging, I was incorrect. If you have a certain number of people Airbnb is comparable. Also you did say there was a 6 hour cleaning turn around between the hours of 11and 3. (?) Then finally agreed to have it cleaned early for the groomsmen which is the least you could do considering everything else. The wagons may be included but what about the price to rent the chairs for the ceremony that were not used? They were not included in the package and were still charged.
The orchard is a beautiful place with incredible views.This was our 3rd visit here and we love the Farm Store, but the apple pie we bought had mold in the filling. At $22 a pie it was incredibly disappointing.

The reason it didn’t get one star is the location.. beautiful scenery and really friendly staff. BUT the apples are garbage.. cost us 25.00 (reasonable) for a half bushel bag of apples.. The problem was that 99% of the apples on the trees were rotten and or damaged. It took us a long time to find apples suitable for taking home.

Alyson's is a beautiful place to explore! Whether it's apple picking, visiting the goats, or just soaking in the Connecticut River views into Vermont, you won't be disappointed!
I photographed Maranda & Reggie's wedding here. This is one of the most beautiful venues I have photographed at! The ceremony space near the pond has some amazing views and is a perfect background in photos. There's a huge variety of locations and backdrops for photos. I would highly recommend it!

The bar was backed up all night and it was a small wedding. After our meals the dirty plates sat on the tables for at least an hour because they have no staff. The wedding turned out beautiful no thanks to Alyson’s at all. Everything was done by the mothers and the bridal party including the Bride herself. Do your self a favor and look elsewhere.In response, If you have nothing to do with the wedding then how do you justify your costs. 3rd, $200 to rent pumpkins? I have been involved in organizing 2 other weddings and each charged fair pricing but also had soo much more involvement with the Bride and overseeing that everything went well. I felt the cost was not nearly the equivalent of what you get by booking this venue. The bride was distressed often because of the lack of communication during planning. Even with your defensive lash back at my review I still by no means recommend your venue to any Bride. Also you spelled my name incorrect and the Brides on the invoice. When the venue was booked there was no other option except an outside vendor. So your comment about them not being recommended and not excepting outside vendors is a lie. Also the guests who were told to arrive early due to the wagon rides, were not allowed access to the bar and had to just sit for an hour at their table. I will say in regards to lodging, I was incorrect. If you have a certain number of people Airbnb is comparable. Also you did say there was a 6 hour cleaning turn around between the hours of 11and 3. (?) Then finally agreed to have it cleaned early for the groomsmen which is the least you could do considering everything else. The wagons may be included but what about the price to rent the chairs for the ceremony that were not used? They were not included in the package and were still charged.
The orchard is a beautiful place with incredible views.This was our 3rd visit here and we love the Farm Store, but the apple pie we bought had mold in the filling. At $22 a pie it was incredibly disappointing.

The reason it didn’t get one star is the location.. beautiful scenery and really friendly staff. BUT the apples are garbage.. cost us 25.00 (reasonable) for a half bushel bag of apples.. The problem was that 99% of the apples on the trees were rotten and or damaged. It took us a long time to find apples suitable for taking home.

Lovely orchard with a restaurant and store at the top. Food is delicious. The ponds and views make it a perfect place for a wedding

We had the most beautiful September wedding here. We were a little worried when we found out that the ownership and wedding planners were changing, but it ended up making things even more magical for us. Everyone was above and beyond in making our big day special and we couldn’t be more grateful!!!

Gorgeous place!
Alyson's is a beautiful place to explore! Whether it's apple picking, visiting the goats, or just soaking in the Connecticut River views into Vermont, you won't be disappointed!
I photographed Maranda & Reggie's wedding here. This is one of the most beautiful venues I have photographed at! The ceremony space near the pond has some amazing views and is a perfect background in photos. There's a huge variety of locations and backdrops for photos. I would highly recommend it!
