Wedding venue in Pembroke, Virginia
About The Bad Apple
The Bad Apple is a private event venue at Doe Creek Farm, suited to intimate gatherings of up to 70 guests. Its main dining floor has hardwood floors, chandeliers, a separate bar, restaurant-quality tables and comfortable chairs, with a loft overlooking the room. Guests can mingle on the covered entry and patio, and use a private dressing room. A lobby with large accessible restrooms and a lift connects the entry to the dining and bar level. The venue offers indoor wedding ceremonies and receptions, including a stained-glass-window backdrop, or couples may hold their ceremony elsewhere and host the reception at The Bad Apple. Rental options include four-hour events and nine-hour wedding receptions; additional time and rehearsal arrangements are available for combined ceremony and reception bookings. Hosts may bring their own food and alcohol, while the venue provides bartenders and offers light event coordination. The venue also describes nearby ceremony options at The Overlook and its wedding partner Lilly Valley Inn; those are separate properties.
