Our Dream Wedding

I will recommend The Grove forever to anyone who asks... ALWAYS! I cannot rave about them enough and for giving us our perfect dream wedding!
From the start, touring the venue, it was our pick immediately no reservations in our minds. It was exactly what we were looking for style-wise & everyone working was so welcoming. Any questions we had during the wedding planning process, both of the amazing ladies Krista and Rylee were right there to answer them all with a smile! What could be to my detriment, I'd like to think I was a pretty laid back bride, which made me also feel somewhat clueless when it came to planning & they both were there to help me every step of the way! They were a dream to work with & were a huge part in our wedding experience! (They were so important, let's just say I cried when I saw them when we first got to the venue on wedding day!)
The day of was absolutely perfect. Literally perfect in every way. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so our outside ceremony was everything we wanted. It's such an adorable area out there, we barely added any extra decor because we loved it as is. The Garden Room for cocktail hour was the perfect size for our 150 guests to move comfortably... plus it's just as equally adorable. I could go on raving about our hors d'oeuvres, but I will refer you to our guests who are STILL talking about how delicious everything was! (Don't skip on the mini chicken & waffles!)
Our reception in the ballroom was truly a dream. It was everything I pictured in my head for how I wanted my wedding day to be. The room is absolutely beautiful & the entrees were amazing of course. The staff got word that I was a fan of a certain soup I had at another event at The Grove and made a special cup for me! That was not the only amazing treatment from the staff I personally experienced - They knew I was diabetic, so they came up with drink ideas low in sugar for our signature drinks & even made a whole dessert tray of sugar-free treats for me. This is what truly separates The Grove from other wedding venues - you do not feel like just another couple on their list of weddings. They truly care about their couples and how to make their day perfect beyond what you could expect from a venue & their team. Like I mentioned, I will forever recommend The Grove for your wedding if you are still deciding! I love it there & can't imagine having had our big day anywhere else!

Book the grove at centerton

The Grove seems to be a hidden gem and deserves to be at the top of everyone’s list. From the very beginning they were helpful, kind, and just so great to work with. Along with the place being BEAUTIFUL! The outdoor ceremony space was a dream and the reception area is spacious and just simple enough to make it your own. Plus the food and drinks were SO good! I’ve been thinking about our Cocktail Hour ever since
Kaitlyn was INCREDIBLE as our coordinator. She answered all of my questions, let me come in multiple times, and reassured every choice I made on wedding day. I trusted her more then I trusted myself day of and couldn’t have asked for someone better!
Everything about the Grove at Centerton was perfect, please add it to your list!!

The Perfect Place

My husband and I are so happy we decided to get married at The Grove at Centerton. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, but as if the gorgeous venue wasn't enough, the staff truly made the overall experience so positive. Krista worked with us from day 1 when we booked with them, but honestly she was amazing even before we signed the contract. She was honest and helpful throughout our entire engagement. We felt that she TRULY cared about our satisfaction and that meant so much to us. Rylee was a dream to work with as well. There was a hiccup with an outside vendor the day of the wedding and I was so stressed... Rylee handled the situation with poise and ease. She was extremely professional and was on to of literally everything. Everything was perfect that day from start to finish because of Rylee. The team at the Grove was hardworking, thoughtful, and organized. All of our guests also raved about the food! I wish my husband and I got a chance to enjoy it! From the emails prior to our big day, to the service in the bridal suite, and every other little and big detail in between, having our wedding at the Grove was truly just an overall amazingly positive experience. You won't regret having your big day or any other event here! Thank you all!

Amazing Venue!!

From our very first conversation with Stephanie and the Grove at Centerton team about our wedding, we knew we were in great hands. They took the time to understand what it is we wanted for our big day and went above and beyond to deliver it. The coordination was flawless, and the entire team worked so well with all the vendors. We were told by our photographers after the event, that of the 60 some weddings they had done this year, this was by far their favorite venue. All the halls are beyond beautiful and the outdoor space where we had our ceremony is just magical. The grounds are so well maintained and there isn’t a bad photo spot to be found anywhere. The Grove at Centerton and the staff helped to make our wedding day one to remember. We can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for us. Highly recommend them for any function.

Perfect venue for a perfect night

The Grove was by far the best wedding venue we could have ever chosen. From the moment we walked in the door we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The staff was attentive, and Stephanie literally brought my vision to life in the ceremony set up, cocktail hour room and ball room. The sweetheart table looked like it came straight off a Pinterest board. I felt like we didn’t have to worry about a thing while she was there. The food was incredible (I’m still hearing about how much our guests loved it) and the pastry chef gave us the perfect cake. I didn’t give her much to work with, however she managed to make it better than I envisioned. I highly recommend anyone who is in the market for a venue to look into The Grove at Centerton. You will not be disappointed!

9.22.19 Wedding Venue Review

The Grove at Centerton completely exceeded all of our wedding expectations. Everything about the venue, the team, the ambience, etc., was more than I could ever dream of. I live in Philadelphia and The Grove is located some 50 minutes away from my home, family and friend. However, as soon as I walked into this venue, I instantly knew it was the place I wanted, even despite the distance. Not only is the venue BEAUTIFUL, modern, classy, rustic, and elegant; the food is delicious, the patio is breathtaking, the grounds are perfect for pictures, the bridal and groom suites are magnificently comfy, and the STAFF will certainly make you want the venue without a second thought. Stephanie and Jennie were more than a joy to work with on the wedding journey. They selflessly gave of themselves in such an extraordinary way. They catered to all my family and bridal party needs the day of the wedding, leaving us with no doubts, fears or concerns in our minds. They were the perfect team for a perfect venue. I would recommend The Grove to anyone seeking an amazing venue that will provide more than you ever dreamed of having. Please book The Grove ASAP so you don't lose out on your dream wedding. Thank you Grove for making my wedding day such a success.

Gorgeous wedding, accommodating staff

My husband and I decided to have our wedding at the Grove September 2018 and we could not have chose a more perfect venue. Not only was the place newly renovated, but the design was beautiful. Jennie was amazing, she was always there to answer any question and never made me feel As though I was bothering her. I also cannot say enough good things about Stephanie, she was very friendly and responsive. They made our day perfect and made it look easy! They took care of every detail, we truly did not worry about anything. We planned on having the wedding outside, but it started to rain and the crew moved everything around last minute and it still looked gorgeous. The food was spectacular, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was romantic. Every single guest complimented us on the venue and enjoyed the food. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for any event.

Perfect for my large wedding!

I had a lot of reservations about my wedding because I originally wanted something small and intimate, but I ended up with a 260 person wedding. So I struggled to find a venue that captured simple yet rustic elegance, but could still accommodate our massive families. But The Grove was just that - simple rustic elegance, classy and beautiful but just beside the woods so we could take some shots outdoors. It was also large enough to accommodate I think 400 guests if necessary - but there was no way I was telling our families that haha.

The team from start to finish were amazing, from booking with Jennie, working with Stephanie to plan the wedding itself, and even Krista and the GM, everyone was professional but also really laid back which really made it more comfortable and easy for me to plan a massive wedding. Wedding planning is really stressful, but every time I interacted with The Grove's team I just felt so much more at ease and excited.

Our wedding was on May 25th, and it was perfect. Stephanie seemed very on top of it and I could see her touching base with my bridal party and family when needed and kept everything going smooth for each part of the wedding. I was really nervous that this massive wedding could end up disorganized and a mess, but Jennie and Stephanie always had great recommendations on how to keep it flowing and smooth, but also make time for my groom and I to get away. It ended up beautifully organized and even my guests thought the resulting service was great.

As for the food, my asian family is super picky. They were concerned it would be bad and there wouldn't be enough food. But they loved it - there was definitely more than enough food during cocktail hour to hold them over for dinner, and they loved the salad and entrees. We got the prime rib and salmon entrees. Prime rib was my favorite but the salmon was great too. And the cake! It was delicious!! I don't normally think much about wedding cakes at weddings, but this one was so good. It was a chocolate cake and I wish I ate more of it because it was delicious. Even my grandpa is still talking about the wedding and the food, and he's a tough one to please, so cute haha.

The Grove was also very accommodating of late RSVP's from my family - the last RSVP I believe was a few days before the wedding, and we had to constantly adjust the number but they were very understanding.

All in all - best wedding I've ever been to and I'm glad I get to say that about my own wedding. Thanks guys!

So cute! So perfect

Go see the new space at the Centerton Country Club. It is so nice, brand new, gorgeous country chic vibe.
