My daughter's wedding was held on a beautiful sunny day in November at The Grande, in Kennesaw, 1 year after she & her fiance selected the site. The Grande is a refurbished farmhouse with plenty of parking, excellent backdrops for photographs, & a spacious interior of lovely rooms which could accommodate the potential 158 guests. Our daughter & SIL, aficionados of all things farm house related, absolutely loved The Grande. We booked the venue immediately. The package included the wedding, reception, cake, DJ, & a credit towards floral. We found our own photographer & officiant. Then came a year of excellent, patient, service by each representative of The Grande. Grace in particular kindly shepherded my daughter, her eldest sister, & me each time we had a question or concern. By email, phone or text, we never had to wait or wonder. When the meeting for choosing particular decor came, the selections were immense; thank goodness I didn't have to lift a finger, just enjoy the process. It was also easy for my daughter & SIL to choose a menu from the food tasting meeting. The timeline of the reception meeting was smooth & thorough. During planning, after each meeting regarding choices of decor, food, flowers, & timeline, my daugher & SIL were emailed detailed information about each selection & corresponding cost of any thing they chose that was above the basic budget amount in the contract. Financially speaking, compared to other venues we visited, the bang for the buck at The Grande was simply amazing. Linda was our flawless wedding coordinator for the wedding rehearsal, wedding, & reception. She explained everything everyone needed to do & when. Due to her, the pacing of the reception events was perfect. No one had to wonder, "When will the pictures end?", "When will the bridal party come?" & the all important, "When can we get a drink?". The bar at the venue has a lovely turn of the century ambiance. We provided our own alcohol. We chose to have one extra bartender for the duration of the reception, for a very small fee, either $100 or $150, I can't recall. With 2 entrances/exits, the bar was never crowded. The DJ was professional. He played the 5 or 6 songs the wedding couple requested. He also played extensively from the list of 30 or so songs I suggested. Cutting the cake, throwing the bouquet, the garter toss, the gathering for send-off bubbles - all went so well, due to Linda's expertise. During the 3-plus hours of the reception, Linda came numerous times to ask if I needed anything, or had any requests. She had encyclopedic knowledge of the particulars of my daughter's wedding; she knew way more than I did. However, there were times when she asked my opinion. For instance, setting up the candy bar & my preferences. My go to answer was always, "hmmm, I don't know. Do what you think is best" And Linda quietly, efficiently, made it work. We ended up with 117 'yes' RSVP's, but less people actually attended. There was never an issue with crowding or waiting. I was told by several people how much they enjoyed the entire event & how fast it went. In sum, I found each representative of The Grande, with whom I spoke, to be kind, patient, & efficient. I wish I had known about The Grande when my eldest daughter married! While her wedding was lovely, it did not have the ease of the wedding planning The Grande provided. Truly a lovely venue, with lovely people, &.....an amazing price!

Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. Mrs. Linda and her incredible team went above and beyond to make the entire process effortless. They handled practically everything with such care and professionalism — all we had to do was make the final decisions and enjoy watching it all come together.

The venue itself is stunning, but what truly makes it exceptional is the people behind it. Mrs. Linda’s calm confidence, organization, and attention to detail made every step feel easy. Her staff worked seamlessly in the background so the day flowed beautifully and stress-free.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking charm with genuine hospitality, this is it. For couples dreaming of an intimate, worry-free wedding where you can simply enjoy the moment — I can’t recommend this venue enough.

We found The Grande online, and based on the photos alone, we had to schedule a visit. We were so happy we did! We were in a big time crunch- 3 months to throw a wedding in front of family and friends before a move out of state! 😳. Being an all-inclusive venue-The Grande made it happen!! And, they made it seem like this was the norm! So accommodating, so flexible, really easy to work with, and answered our boatload of questions with such patience!
Highly recommend this venue!! Everyone was super nice, but we dealt mostly with Riley and Grace; they’re fantastic!!!!

I had Riley as my wedding coordinator the day of and I was amazed with how well she and the other workers did. It was very stress free and I did not have to worry about a single thing. Even if I wanted something pushed back a few minutes she was supportive and made it happen. Best day of my life.

Great job and communication. Easy to work with.

This venue is absolutely amazing from start to finish! The service was impeccable and the staff was very friendly. The food was delicious and so was the cake! You won’t find a better venue for the price! So thankful to have found this venue. They also recommended Jennifer with keikilani photography and she was also very friendly and did a wonderful job capturing our wedding day. Thanks to all!

Even with all the chaos of Covid we were able to have a beautiful wedding at The Grande. I highly recommend them!

A Sunday wedding at the Grande on the Off-season is the best value in all of metropolitan Atlanta. The venue excell at being all-inclusive. Good wine, good beer, great cocktails, fantatstic food, knowledgable & experienced staff, clear & easy to read contracts, easy and fast communication, transparency in billing and, most importantly, joy & enthusiasm for their work. I honestly can't recommend this venue and their all-inclusive packages enough. They can be as low-stress or as high-stress as you want. (I opted for low stress and it was brilliant.) I encourage anyone to put your trust in these experts. Let them do what they do best and you'll be more than happy.

Jackie was very flexible on meeting with is. The price for what all it includes was lower then the original package. They have different venues and packages. I looked at alot of venues and i would highly recommend the grande so far. Our big day is not for 8 months but so far everything has been easy and she answered all our questions even via text at night.

Waterstone Events made our wedding at The Grande a wonderful and memorable experience. Their ceremony space was beautiful, and the coordinators worked with us to help make our vision a reality. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the wedding (they continue to bring it up with a fondness)! Waterstone Events made the organization of details leading up to and on the day of the wedding as least stressful as possible so that we could fully enjoy our special day. I loved having our wedding at The Grande and highly recommend them as your venue of choice.
