Colleen is the Reason to Book this Venue!

As a wedding planner, it's rare that I get to sit down and rest, but with Independence Grove, couples can relax knowing Colleen and her team have everything covered. From assistance with floor plans to table décor and setup, there isn’t a single reason I wouldn’t book this venue. Relish Catering is essentially a full-service venue, offering the convenience of day-before décor drop-off and seamless communication throughout the process. Colleen and her staff gave my couple the perfect day, allowing them to enjoy every moment without a worry. I highly recommend them!

We just got married on 10/4/24 and had the BEST experience with the Relish team at Independence Grove. Everything was top-knotch from their customer service and responsiveness to the quality and value of the venue and food. Colleen LoBue is an actual gem and made the entire process easy, fun, and so effortless. We could not have had the amazing wedding experience we had without her. This is a gorgeous venue with amazing staff and food - 10 out of 10 recommend!
