I have to say, this was the best decision, as having no worries about set up and clean up and all those not so fun parts of hosting an event at your own home, made this so great. I was able to enjoy a comfortable atmosphere and actually talk with my guests. There was plenty of room and area for everyone to spread out so everyone could feel comfortable with spacing. Phil even made sure to have an area for some of my guests to sit apart to enjoy the Sunday football game, lol. The food was so spot on and so very tasty. Everyone had good comments to say about the venue and food! Thank you so much!

The owners were so friendly and kind and helped with the setup before the event began. They stayed engaged throughout the event too. The catered dinner and dessert are so delicious. I didn't take pictures because I believe every event they host has a customized menu. The drink selection (for a work event) is spot on. There were plenty of free parking spaces out front. Very clean; love the natural sunlight that came through. The holiday decorations were just right. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a place to host a work function.

I got the opportunity to marry the love of my life at Laurel Gardens last month. We had planned on…read moredoing a really simple, small wedding because we didn't want to become victim to the wedding industry. Well our saving grace was not a tiny wedding it was Nicole at Laurel Gardens. Everything she offers comes from the heart, she is so passionate about what she does and has a grace to juggle multiple things at once. I told her the vibe I was going for and she made it happen. She took care of so many small details that removed the pressure from us, during the time when most brides are stressed out and intense I got to kick back and enjoy the season because she had it all under control. The vibe of the venue is romantic in and of itself, everything else just amplifies that. We had an absolute blast at our wedding, our guests said the same, and we attribute a lot of that to Nicole & her husband Mikey for making it happen. Oh... And did I mention we only had 60days to plan the wedding?! No stress....if you need a venue look her up, she does not disappoint.

It was the PERFECT place for our family and friends to celebrate the marriage of our daughter.

The Teapot is highly recommended and they delivered exactly what was expected with no surprises. We had a wonderful time and will cherish the memories for a lifetime.

We opted for the all in package where Boojum coordinated with their preferred venders to handle about 90% of the arrangements and for a VERY reasonable price. Everyone brought their A game!! Food was delicious, music was fantastic (even with a last minute DJ swap due to an emergency), and the grounds were stunning! They did everything right. Multiple beautiful backdrops available for the big day. We chose the grand fountain but soooo many other great options. Even the little things. Everyone warned us how hard it is to eat on your wedding day but as soon as we left the ceremony area to the backstage, there was a waiter for my wife and I along with the bridal party with appetizers and drink orders. Jennifer the day of works as your wedding coordinator and she does a fantastic job! Everything was so well run and on time as well. Everyone told me this was the best venue and the best experience they ever had at a wedding and I know it wasn't just them being nice! If you're the type of person who wants to be able to say you got married at Wrigley, fine. But if your focus is the best possible experience for your guests and yourselves, Boojum is by far the way to go!! These guys throw an EPIC wedding and party!!!

My Fiancee and I came to this location for the first time, for the wedding of her co-worker. It is…read morevery much a hidden gem in the area. If you haven't been there, then you definitely need to pay it a visit. However, for a wedding venue, it was a bit odd. Maybe this was the fault of the coordinator? First the good things! The customer service really was great! The staff managing the bar area were super friendly and great to talk to at every visit! The food served was delicious, no complaints at all! The decor and aesthetics were wonderful for the venue and the Arizona area. The area in the main part of the venue, were the ceremony took place was lovely and shaded. There was a fountain and surrounded by lovely trees and structures. As with all venues, hosting a wedding with a cash or cash-less bar, this venue fell into the same issue. The alcohol not in bottles or cans just had to be watered down. There is no possible way our friends and myself had as many vodka mixed drinks, we are talking about over 10 or 11 at least for myself, and never even got a buzz. This seemed to be the consensus. The other issue was just the layout. The covered area / enclosed structure where the dinner took place was large and spacious. It was decorated with plants and man made areas that were lovely and it kept everyone together, socializing, and simply having fun. When that was done we were moved to an area behind the bar/sitting structure for live DJ and dance floor. This was simply counter productive to encouraging that togetherness and partying. instead it had various separate and distinct fire pits with covered areas and seating around each one. This pretty much cause the wedding party to all separate into their own clicks and neither one really interacting unless you were directly related/known to them some how. The dance floor was a raised gazebo area, which was lovely. However, from where some of the fire pits were, you had no view of who was dancing or if anyone was dancing. The DJ played a great playlist but she could have been definitely more interactive.

Even on the day of the event, we never even had to lift a finger with anything. It was truly one of the best days, and was so beautiful and elegant.

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.

The beverage bar was beautiful with coffee pods, teas, punches, and lots of fruit garnish, lemons, blackberries, and raspberries arranged in a lovely display. Luke attended to our every need throughout the day and never flinched at any request. Always responded with a smile.
