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

Great venue, pretty and food/organization was well done. We decorated the venue as folks often do. The family owned antique bottle collection we used as table centers was stolen. The venue did NOTHING to assist in finding out who stole and claimed no reaponsibility. OUCH. Bitter pill to swallow on what should have been a wonderful event.Be warned. Don't bring anything you treasure. They'll take it.

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!

A few weeks ago I got married at Alyson’s Orchard. I have to be honest – it was not our first choice as we had a Portugal wedding planned and rescheduled 4 times for 2020 thanks to COVID. However after accepting it just wouldn’t be feasible to have our wedding without our family there, we quickly changed directions. I decided to reach out to Kelly LaFort at Alyson’s to ask if I could go up and walk the property to see the various locations they offered for outdoor wedding venues. She was more than accommodating, helpful and honestly just a kind soul that I needed at that time of in a way grief for giving up on my planned European wedding. It was a mental battle for me to consider switching venues and plan a wedding in less than a months’ time before my in-laws headed back to Florida. The minute I drove onto the property I was impressed – I stopped at the store and I spoke with the lady at the register and she was like sure no problem go and walk the property and helped me to get an idea of where each of the (5) outdoor locations were. The minute I started exploring the property I literally had goosebumps, the entire orchid is just so serene and beautiful. I knew instantly I would find a location that would be perfect for us in my walk around the orchid. As I said they have (5) outdoor venue locations and each with a different backdrop! The first one I came to was a spot that overlooked the Farmland below Ann Marie’s Point of View. Simply breathtaking especially with the fall foliage, the next location was a little Pond called Sarma’s Pond and this is actually where we ended up getting married. Across from the pond there is an overlook that looks out against the mountainous backdrop again with the foliage it was phenomenal, Ilze’s Point of View was the name of that destination. Rachel’s Pond is close to the beautiful function hall. However Martha’s Point of View was on the backside of another pond that truly had a little bit of everything in backdrop, you got the pond, the wooded area, and in the distance you could see the mountains. I felt by far Martha’s Point of View had the most diversification of all the locations. I strongly advise you go up and take the hour or so and walk through and find the spot that truly speaks to your soul, trust me you will know it when it hits you!Now for Kelly, she went above and beyond every step of the way. We brought our own logs to decorate the outdoor venue, helped us with recommendations from everything to lunch deli platters for our small family guests to finding a transportation company to drive us to dinner, helping us with other vendors such as the rental of the amazing Draft Belgian Horses for our transportation to the wedding site, and she helped us with a company to rent chairs, and the arbor from. She truly was my saving grace in this 5th reschedule event for our special day. Every vendor she suggested was just as kind, caring, and amazing as she was during this process.We also stayed at the Rochambeau Lodge with our immediately family, we had 5 adults, 4 kids under the age of 16, and our little puppy with us. The lodge was perfect for us – it had more than enough space and we were happy to be up there the night before to get a rehearsal in, and truly make the site we wanted as we wanted it. The morning of the wedding I was decorating the arch and making the aisle with the logs, and decorating the logs with my decorations I brought (Tin watering cans with baby’s breath). Unfortunately it poured the day of our ceremony but we didn’t let that stop us – we brought E-Z Up’s with us and we made the best of it. Kelly was onsite and I felt was there for any questions or concerns I had.I truly can not say enough about our experience there. In my heart I feel you won’t find a more caring, and kind individual to help walk you through the process and make your day as seamless as possible for you! If your thinking about it don’t hesitate make the call or send the email and once you start talking to Kelly your mind will be put at ease!

Views to die for. A lovely, friendly staff. Apples galore in many, many varieties. Peaches and blueberries in season. The locally baked blueberry and apple pieces are excellent. A must stop if you are in the area.

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!!!

5.0We had an INCREDIBLE outdoor orchard wedding at Alyson's! Fran and her staff went above and beyond for us and made our wildest wedding dreams come true. They were incredibly professional and detail oriented the whole time, completely understood our vision, and worked tirelessly to make it possible. They dealt with impending thunderstorms while setting up our outdoor wedding - we were stunned and touched by their commitment. Despite potential thunderstorms they made everything work and were so flexible and committed. We ended up with a wedding more beautiful than we could have imagined. The pond was a magical place for the ceremony, and the orchard felt like Tuscany for dinner. Could not recommend Alyson's more strongly!!!

Great local orchard, that offers a wide variety of apples and much more. We really enjoyed the selection of heirloom apples they had and will definitely be back next year!

We did not stay but came to pick apples. The orchard changed hands recently. The owner passed a few years ago.What was once a fun place with a huge variety of apples is now more of atourist trap. Due to the May freeze there were no apples. They were shipped in. They now plug weddings big time. Weddings were always important, but now this is pretty much what they do. There are now Glamping cabins by the pond. Visitors can no longer use the restroom by the store. You now have to use the one Porto potty available. Not pleasant! There's a small farm animal pen, that's grown quite a bit. Basically what was once a fun place is now a tourist trap. After many years of the wonderful times, it now time to move on.Such a shame.Walkability: Very easy to navigate the orchards.Food & drinks: They have pies jams etc. In the store. More commercialized now.

Alysons orchard was an incredible venue! Nothing in our wildest dreams could have compared to this beautiful place. There was nothing missing, there was scenery, views, inside, and outside places to take photos. Houses on the property and a wonderful women running the place. Fran works so close with couples and in her absence Kelly is equally as amazing. Most things are included and things that are not included they are always willing to accommodate and make sure your day is 100% perfect.

We just had our wedding at Alyson's last weekend and we had such a great time. The venue itself is stunning and there is plenty of space for a larger party like ours.The venue also has multiple different ceremony sites to choose from. Kelly is the orchard's manager and she did so much behind the scenes work and blew it out of the park. She is so helpful and patient with her brides and answered all of my questions leading up to our big day. Not to mention, she has recommendations for every vendor you could need and a plethora of helpful bride tips. Overall, we had a fantastic time at such an incredible venue and are so thankful for the team at Alyson's.

My go to place for apples. I always enjoy going to a certain spot with the pond. It's nice and good views. Although the lady in the "shop" is a little short and not pleasant. But I guess I can understand. Otherwise, 110% recommend.

Great venue in a beautiful location. There are mountain views all over the property. The recreation hall is big and comfortable with a lot of people in it. The orchard and the lodge we stayed in are both gorgeous plots of land. My whole experience was awesome. I loved every minute of it! Solid 5 stars, literally no complaints. Not one!

We have always loved this Orchard until yesterday. We brought a group of students that have disabilities to have a picnic. The owner was driving by us and stopped twice to ask us in a rude manner what we were doing. She told us there wasn't any swimming and we needed to pick up our trash when we left. Both of these comments are reasonable but the rude way they were said was unnecessary to say the least. She lost the business of the six adults that were with these students.

One of the most beautiful places with the best tasting apples I’ve ever had.

My favorite part about Allison's Orchard is how breathtakingly beautiful it is. Definitely a pretty popular wedding venue and it is fun to go pick fresh apples or peaches etc. My only issue with it happens to be the prices and overall I think the land has a lot more potential event is being used, That being said, I know it's for sale which is exciting. Allison's is also an incredible spot to bring to our children or to go on a date if you wanted to spend some time outdoors

We had our wedding here yesterday. And although it rained, Kelly, our wedding coordinator made everything happened the way we wanted it. This place is absolutely beautiful!! The entire property is stunning, there definitely isn't a shortage in views. Kelly was my saving grace the last few days before our wedding. She stayed for our rehearsal and made sure we were all set and everyone knew what to do. I absolutely loved everything!

You simply can't grasp how awesome this place is if you just drive by. The orchard is way up on a hill. So many varieties of apples I never even knew existed. Free tours of the orchard in a horse drawn hayride. A sweet gift/food/drink store with lots of home made items. The hot cider is always my favorite!Plan to spend a few hours here, as there is lots to do. Also a massive selection of pumpkins, etc in October. They do car shows here and lots of other fun events.

Fran is a multitasking wonder who manages to keep all the weddings straight and make you feel like you are the only one that matters at any given time, even when you know she is juggling so much.The facilities are fantastic. The Orchard Room is gorgeous during both the day and night. The wedding sites are stunning.Everyone at the facility is very kind and helpful.The housing on site was perfect for our wedding weekend. It made it that much more special that we could stay right on site with a large portion of our wedding attendees.Summary - completely perfect.
