Need a venue to host a talk, dinner, or special event? The Grove should be on your list of places…read moreto check out. I came this past Wednesday to attend a talk by Bob Burg based on his book "Adversaries into Allies". The talk was exceptional, the event space was well organized, and the staff pleasant and professional. Typically when I think of event spaces for these types of things, my mind goes to ballroom immediately, which leads me to imagine dark, windowless dungeons with extreme temps (hot or cold), forcing attendees to caffeinate heavily to keep their eyelids from closing on me during the presentations. The Grove is absolutely anything but that. The main event room is a big open space with very large windows that bring in a ton of natural light to brighten up the room. For me though, as a constant day dreamer, the windows give me a real connection to the outside world, and a place for my mind to wander while listening to a talk or presentation. The landscaping is really what makes this place special though. The entire outside of the main room is lined with beautiful trees and shrubs, which, unfortunately were leafless due to the winter. With their placements right out the window though, I could see this space really coming alive, with an outside on the inside feel when they fill out in the spring and summer seasons. All in all, it was a great venue to visit and one I'd love to see host a party or gala in the future.

My brother and his wife got married here! As a wedding photographer myself, my photo + officiant…read moreteam was able to capture this wedding--and the officiant made everyone cry in a good way ;). The venue is a beautiful spot. And so underrated since it's close to Lake Tahoe. The weather was especially wet in October. It rained all day. Despite that, everyone had an amazing time, and the photos came out great. The indoor area was cozy and elegant. The space can really be crafted for each couple's taste!

My husband and I recently got married here and it was absolutely the best venue! We were so so so…read morehappy with our decision. It was definitely less expensive in comparison to some of the other venues in the area. Brittney was amazing to work with! She was so responsive and friendly! When she was out, Christy was there to help us out who was also amazing! Seriously the best team! The view is breathtaking both inside and outside. Our guests were all in shock and still talk about it months later! While the grass area seems small, we were able to comfortably fit over 100 guests. Don't underestimate it! Also I'm still obsessed with the interior!!!! It's so worth checking out at the very least! The food was amazingggg!!! Our guests also can't stop talking about this! They've all said this was the best wedding food they've ever had. I have celiacs and they were very accommodating. They also have a bunch of vegetarian options. You get to try a lot of options at the food tasting which was very helpful! I promise you that you won't go wrong with the broccoli!!! Everyone went wild about it! There's not a single person who hasn't talked about it, even the people who aren't big veggie people were obsessed! Also the chicken was phenomenal! It's not far from downtown Reno. We stayed at the GSR and rented charter busses for all of our guests and it worked out perfect! It's not a super windy road, but definitely half way up the mountain. We were probably in the busses for 20 minutes tops. Seriously the best place to get married! Out of all the spots we talked to and considered all over California, Oregon, and Washington this was the best option at least for us and definitely the most friendly we've talked to.

This was the second place we checked out and I immediately fell in love with this place. We had two other places we were going to tour but ended up cancelling because we just knew the Elm Estate was where we wanted to celebrate our special day! Why? Many reasons but for one - this place has it all! Not to mention the property is just absolutely beautiful! Ceremony, reception, and even lodging onsite- which not only made it convenient but unique too. Secondly what really stood out was - you truly feel the Elm Estate is invested in making your day one to remember! When you book with them, you have 3 detailing meetings, including an opportunity called "mixology" to sit with the bartender and customize your cocktails. We mostly worked with Emma and Shannon and they were very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process! Bridget was our day of onsite coordinator and she too absolutely made our day flow smoothly and beautifully. They add so many special little touches that make your experience feel VIP! If there was one downfall -I would say it was not being able to access the bridal suite (which by the way is stunning and everyone girl's dream aesthetics) until 2pm and having to do makeup and hair offsite instead- it made the logistics a bit challenging, but I guess that's what booking the cottages was for. It also always means a lot to me- when the owner of a business, personally comes and introduces themselves and checks in with you to make sure everything is good! All our guests loved the venue and we know we picked the best one! Elm estate and the staff truly exceeded expectations and helped make our wedding day a perfect one!!

There are a lot of different projects available, but expect to spend about $30 for a bowl or plate. I chose a small plate and had a lot of fun decorating it to my liking. I might need to go back and make myself a full set! The staff was really nice and walked us through the whole process. Despite being a large party, the staff never rushed us, which was much appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience at The Hot Spot. Pricing was fair for what you get and there aren't any sitting fees, which was nice. If you plan on going, call ahead to reserve a table. I can't wait to go back!

I knew I only had…read moreone shot and not much time to assemble the "Dream Team" of vendors to assist me with this party of the decade. Word on the street was that Balloons By Court was an All Star of her trade. I reached out to Courtney to talk ideas. I really loved that Courtney would schedule time for me to call her and speak to her over the phone like people did decades ago. With our current digital way of life I wasn't willing to organize this difficult event over text or email. Speaking with Courtney allowed me the opportunity to trust her abilities and for me to explain what I was trying to create. The night of the surprise party we rolled into the restaurant a little after 6. The curtain was pulled and wow! Brought tears to my wife's eyes. Balloons By Court did an amazing job with the decorating. The posted pictures don't really capture the full experience of this room, however the cake table background and balloon arch was something out of this world. I know that Courtney went out of her way to contact the venue and cake maker to even further iron out details such as cake color to coordinate and make this event perfect. If you are looking to put some magic into your next event book Courtney and her balloons. Thanks BBC!

Balloons add SO MUCH to an event!…read more They're a cost effective impact statement that everyone should consider, and Court is the best! We're not talking about old school balloon bouquets, though they have their place. We're talking about sculptural, colorful installations that serve as great backdrops for photos and an eye-catching focal point for an event that can quite literally stop your guests in their tracks (in a good way)! That's exactly what the Balloons by Court installation did at my most recent event, Yelpstronomy. AND there are a ton of photos to show for it too! I was amazed at how efficiently and cleanly Court worked while installing the piece and how prompt she was to return to help with tearing it down. YES! They do that too! She worked with one other person and they were in and out quieter than a churchmouse. I was impressed from start to finish. Court helped me conceptualize the design, did a sight survey and worked with me to create a display that accomplished all my objectives and exceeded all my expectations. Thanks for making Yelpstronomy extra special!
