    Our unforgettable day!

    After looking at MANY venues for our wedding we went with The Grove, and are so glad we did! It was beautiful, everything had just been remodeled and so clean. The staff was amazing (Thom & Laurie) were great to work with. Every single small question we had they would get right back to us. Also, helped with the flow of the whole day and made everything that much easier/worry free for us. Would 100% recommend!

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Jill -
    It was such a beautiful day for a wedding, and what a beautiful wedding and reception you put together! We thank you and Ryan for entrusting us with this special day and we wish you all the happiness in the world!

    Spectacular!!

    Amazing service, and great prices for everything you could ask for in a wedding reception. The venue is spacious, clean and intimate. It accommodated the 220 plus people there with space to spare. The team was wonderful the day of the event and accommodated all the needs and wants of the couple and more. Great place and I would do other events there!!

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Thanks Charnee - we really enjoyed working with you and your mom on this fantastic night. Thank you for entrusting us with your special day and a happy and prosperous life to you and Melvin!

    Fabulous Venue! Best Day Ever!

    When I first viewed the Grove Event Center, I instantly knew that I wanted this venue and after my wedding there, I know we made the right choice. True elegance is how I would describe this place. The director's Thom & Karen was very supportive and responsive to our all needs and wants.

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful review Soniqua - I can't believe it was almost two years from contract signing to the event, but what an event it was! We thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your special day and hope to see you and your family and friends back with us again!

    Great venue and great team!

    Thom and Karen were so great to work with! With multiple date changes I worked with them for 2 years before we finally had our wedding. They were always well communicated during the changes. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with them! highly recommended!!!

    Best staff. Best service. Best venue!

    My husband and I were so satisfied with everything about the Grove Event Center. From the moment we decided to use them to our big day, everything ran so smooth and Karen and Thom were so helpful and responsive. They made everything so simple and stress-free! This beautiful space accommodated our guests so well and we couldn’t be happier.

    Perfect venue!

    We had the most amazing wedding day at the grove events center!! They booked us three weeks before our wedding and our night was absolutely perfect!! The space is newly renovated and GORGEOUS both inside and outside! Karen and Thom were so helpful and accommodating, especially with booking last minute. Thom is so fun and upbeat and every thorough. Karen was there the night of and ensured everything went smooth. Karen worked so well with my wedding planner and they made the space even more beautiful than I could imagine!! ❤️

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Samantha-You and Eric were a joy to work with! I hope your wedding and reception was everything you dreamed of, even if it took 5 wedding dates and 3 venues!! Much happiness in your future!

    Made me feel at home!

    The staff at the Grove made me feel like I was a part of their family from the moment I had my first tour.
    They were so efficient and accommodating from the very beginning and they made sure my event ran smoothly without a single bump along the way. I never felt nervous about anything, because I knew that they would do anything to help me! Thom would even answer emails that I sent to him at ridiculous hours of the night!
    My family baked cookies for my reception, and The Grove let us bring them in the day before and store them in the fridge so they would be ready at the start of the reception.
    This venue was amazing and the room looked absolutely stunning! My guests had so much room to move around, and the fact that the dry bar and all linens were included in my room rental made everything so simple!
    I would recommend The Grove to anyone. Absolutely unmatched service, professionalism, and excellence.

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Bridget - it was a beautiful night! We enjoyed meeting your family and friends from near and far - and the cookies were fantastic. It's those special personal touches that makes an event magical. We thank you again for entrusting us with your special day and hope to see you back!

    Simply Fantastic

    I can’t possibly say enough good things about the Grove. Thom and Karen and their team were incredible and did such a good job. They made the process so simple and answered every question along the way! The venue was large enough for our giant wedding. Additionally, it was SPOTLESS even after having a wedding the night before ours. Bonus- it looked gorgeous with our decorations. I am so pleased with our experience and know you will be too.

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Morgan - Thank you for the wonderful review. We had a lot of fun putting on your reception and wish you and Matt all the happiness in the world.

    Thom & Karen

    p.s. Hope that Matt and the cat are getting along!

    A Great Decision

    We used the Grove for our wedding reception and that was easily one of the best decisions we have made throughout our entire planning process. Karen and Thom both were amazing to work with! They were great with communication, price was very reasonable for how many people we had invited to celebrate with us, and their entire staff was amazing! We were treated with a ton of respect and they made us feel like family. We will forever recommend using the Grove for any events someone may need, including wedding receptions! Thank you, Thom and Karen, for making our night so magical and everything we ever dreamed of!

    The Grove Event Center's reply:

    Thanks Rebecca! It was a magical night and we so appreciate you allowing us to be part of it. All the best to you and David!

    We couldn't ask for anyone better than Karen and Thom to work with at the Grove. They were very helpful and kind. Karen was very chill, which was extremely helpful during this stressful time!

    Karen - thanks again for choosing the Grove! You put so much time and thought into your daughter's special day and it showed - everyone was having a great time! We wish you and your family all the best and hope to see you back with us again!
