She made sure, just before the ceremony, that my sweet friend saw it and knew it was from me. Of course, my friend got tears and it made her feel like I was there with her. Natalie went out of her way to make the wedding even more special. What a gem she is.

Five stars is insufficient for this beautiful venue. Our contract was signed 19 months before the…read morewedding. Throughout that time, communication was outstanding with every e-mail and question promptly addressed. The Grove staff walked us through every step, met every request and every spoken and unspoken need. (For example, light refreshments were provided for the wedding party prior to the ceremony. When they noticed that the guys retrieved the girls' leftovers, they prepared and sent over a huge platter of homemade chicken fingers and fries. This went above and beyond any expectations, but they didn't want the guys hungry.) Guests marveled over the beauty of the entire venue, especially with the glorious sunset and twinkling lights in the trees. The food was absolutely delicious, not your standard event food, and I heard several people remark they had never had a wedding meal this good. Our photographer told us that every meal there was excellent, but our guests especially raved over the almond-crusted chicken tenders, an add-on dish, and the horseradish mashed potatoes. The flow of events from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to cake to dancing to send off was flawless; our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The yard games were thoroughly enjoyed; no one was ever 'bored' waiting for the next event. The decorations and display tables exceeded the bride's vision and everything was carefully packed away at the end of the night for us; Venue at the Grove is truly a full-service wedding facility. They connected us with the best photographer (Tony George), bakery (Sugarlips...people who don't like cake loved it), DJ, bartenders, and Photo Booth people. I could rave endlessly about how pleased we were with everything. However, the biggest difference with this venue is that everyone who worked there truly conveyed that they CARED about ensuring the day was magical for the couple and their guests. It's obvious that Venue at the Grove is a business that operates out of passion for creating happy beginnings. We cannot thank them enough for their role in this special day.

Around June or July, I tried to cancel or reschedule my event so that me and my guest could have a good time without worries of getting sick from Covid or exposing one another. Well..... that didn't happen. Here is what her response was, "the party is going to happen no matter what. If the state is not requiring us to lock down and quarantine, you will be fine. The party is going to happen." She went into detail about how she already had reschedule everyone during the initial lockdown and didn't want to make room for my event. Mind you, I had considered moving my event a year out into 2021. I was keeping an open mind, ya know? Her behavior with me was incredibly hot and cold, one day she was super happy to help me and the next, it was such a chore. She also let us know the DJ does not present or announce anything at the parties. If that was the case I would have let my cousin DJ at least she would have played my wedding song, and better music. Need less to say, the DJ was not good. My mother in law was also making sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating the night of the event. Whereas, the coordinator sat there all night on her phone. I made a poor decision choosing this place to host my reception. Communication was poor and everything was shared with my the week of the event, that I need to bring Napkins, cups, plates, I need someone to announce the bridal party. It was just unnecessary stress. Colors and decor styles are limited. If you going to spend thousands of dollars, go somewhere that you actually like rather for the convenience of it all.

I highly recommend finding another venue for your event…read more Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The owner quoted my parents and me two different prices and charged us for a premium package that included security--yet no security was provided, despite us paying for it. 3 hours before the end of the event, the owner repeatedly turned on the lights, which caused many of our guests to leave early. We were also charged for projector screens that we were unable to use due to a lack of proper connections, and no refund was offered. Overall, the experience was horrible, and my mother's party was completely ruined.

The venue felt significantly oversold, to the point where it was nearly impossible to move comfortably. From where I was standing, I couldn't see the stage at all, which made it hard to enjoy the performance I came to see. Beyond just being crowded, it felt unsafe. The number of people packed into the space seemed excessive, and I genuinely question whether it exceeded fire code limits. People were standing all the way back into the bar area. Navigating through the crowd was difficult, and there didn't appear to be enough room for people to exit easily if needed. I've been to this venue since its 2017 opening and had much better experiences, but this event felt poorly managed. I hope they take crowd capacity and guest safety more seriously in the future.
