Exceeded Expectations!

It's hard to find the right words to say other than The Grove ensured our special day was perfect. We worked with Amy - who walked us through planning, menu selection, decor, vendors, down to the simple little details that made it that much more special. She was there every step of the way - no question too big or small - which a type B bride like myself really appreciated.

The food was also exceptional! With big Eastern European and Italian families like ours, that was really important. 2 months later, guests are still raving with special shoutouts to the to the grilled octopus, filet, and lobster risotto.

The day of service is truly white glove. We opted to come early and get ready on site - they were also extremely accommodating to allergies, and provided both breakfast and lunch.

Amazing team

Our experience with The Grove was nothing short of amazing! From our very first visit, Amy made us feel so comfortable and cared for - we immediately knew this was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. The venue itself is stunning; the scenery and atmosphere created the most beautiful backdrop for our day, and every detail was handled with such professionalism and class.
On the wedding day, my assistant, Arami, was an absolute angel. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that I had everything I needed - her kindness and attention to detail truly stood out.
The food was amazing and delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was. Everyone was impressed by the level of care and coordination from start to finish.
I’m so grateful to the entire team at The Grove for making our wedding day unforgettable. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that combines elegance, professionalism, and heartfelt service.

100% recommend

We came across the Grove after visiting several other venues. Although we had our initial doubts as this was going to be a big financial investment, sitting down with Raul helped us ease our mind. Throughout the whole process of preparing for our wedding, Raul and the Grove were patient, attentive, accommodating, attentive and responsive. They were definitely one of the vendors we had to least worry about as they were on top of everything. With both sides of the family having different cultures, Raul and his expertise was able to recommend a few things on their menu that would tailor the reception to our guests. The food was phenomenal and is one of the first things that our guests mention when they talk about our wedding, along with their overall experience of the venue. The service they provided from the bride & groom entourage to our parents, to our friends and family were exceptional, all the way to the end of the night.

We are very fortunate to have worked with Raul and the rest of the Grove staff and hope to come back as guests in the future! Thank you Raul and the Grove for making our wedding reception memorable for us and our family!

The Grove is an experience!

I had the pleasure of having our wedding at The Grove. I am beyond grateful to have picked this venue. Venue shopping is tricky during wedding planning, but when it came to The Grove, it made picking them well worth it. Jason is the one I had the pleasure of working with. He would meet with us to ensure everything went well and made many last-minute changes. To make our day special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was stress-free. As the bride, I enjoyed having Maggie by my side. Maggie is God-sent. She made sure my day went smoothly. Words can't express how she was there for me every step of the way. When it comes to all the staff at The Grove, they do a phenomenal job. They are professional, reliable, and passionate. The Grove isn't just a venue. It's an experience. Thank you to everyone at The Grove. May God continue to bless you all!

Sheer perfection!

The Grove is simply the most stunning venue. The food was in abundance and delicious! Jason and his team are simply outstanding to work with, catering to all of our needs. They simply made my daughter and her husband’s wedding day magical. Our family and friends continue to tell us this was by far the best wedding they have ever attended.

If you want the BEST, book THE GROVE!!!!!!

From the moment we walked into The Grove and met Raul, we knew this was the place they had to have the wedding at. Raul, was with us every step of the way. Always, giving the best advice and always guiding us in the right direction. The cocktail hour was AWESOME! Everything was outstanding. The service was superb! The reception… all I can say was WOW!!! Everyone, including the guests were treated like royalty! Service impeccable, food was delicious! Every table had there own server. We never had to get up for a drink not once. The Grove only has 1 wedding at a time so you have the whole
venue to yourself! It is spotless! Everyone is extremely nice and accommodating. The guests are still talking about how this was the best wedding they have ever been too! To say I am pleased is an understatement! If you want great food, great service and CLASS book The Grove! 5 stars is not enough! I am still in awe. Absolutely amazing!!!!!

We love The Grove!

We were blown away by our experience at the Grove on our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. If you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding, look no further than The Grove! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the venue itself was absolutely stunning.
One of the things we loved most about The Grove was the attention to detail. Every aspect of the space was carefully designed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The lighting was just right, the decor was elegant and tasteful, and the layout was perfect for our needs.
The food was another highlight of the evening. We opted for the catering package offered by The Grove and we were blown away by the quality and variety of the dishes. Our guests raved about the food, and many commented that it was the best they had ever had at an event like this.
In addition to the venue and catering, the staff at The Grove really went above and beyond to make our event a success. They were attentive to our needs throughout the planning process, and they were always available to answer our questions and address our concerns. On the day of the event, they were there to make sure everything went smoothly, and they were quick to address any issues that arose.
Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming space for their special day. Thank you to the staff at The Grove for making our day such a memorable and joyous occasion!

It’s true that this is the best venue in new jersey.

Thank you Raul for selling us on this place!

From start to finish we were treated with care and courtesy. My husband is in the industry having helped organize and cater thousands of weddings in his 30 year career, and even he was wowed by the level of food and hospitality and organization at this venue. Many of our guests also work in the food and event industry and they were all FLOORED by the quality, quantity, and presentation of the food. There was SO much food offered and even with 140+ guests there was still so much food left over.

The Grove even made several special cultural dishes for my Filipino family and when word got out at the wedding that there was actually pancit and lumpia, everyone swarmed the tables lol! They even ordered and served the imported sauces that go authentically with the dishes. THAT was impressive.

Their space is massive and luxurious and immediately felt like home on our wedding day. Our family even asked us if we “stayed there last night” and we had to explain that its not a luxury hotel lol. The space is immaculate and has several bridal suites each with their own bathroom and shower. The bridal attendants that day Noelly and the nice tan skinned man with the undercut and man bun were amazing all day. They were both the perfect balance of around and not-around if that makes sense! They managed to always be right there beside us anytime we needed something urgent and they were the perfect liaisons to pass along critical last minute changes and messages to the DJ, photog, family members. Omar our maitre’d ran a well oiled machine and we couldn’t ask for anything more.

PS-my personal favorite station was definitely the paella station it was spectacular! You’ve got to have the meat paella it’s both filling and mouthwateringly flavorful!

My daughter got married at The Grove June 2022. The rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception were held there. Rylee and Krista were absolutely amazing. Thee wedding was planned in 4 months and it was exactly how the bride and groom wanted from the decorations to food etc. The entire day went smoothly without a glitch. It was very convenient to have the bridal and groom suites available. The food was served exactly at the time requested and tasted great. The guests raved about the appetizers, dinner and desserts. The entire staff (bar and food) were all pleasant and courteous. The entire venue looks absolutely beautiful with all the recent updates We couldn’t have asked for anything better. I highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Wedding Venue

We booked our December 2021 wedding at The Grove during the middle of the COVID pandemic 18 months out. From the moment we virtually met Jason to discuss our vision and what The Grove offered to our incredible wedding day, he was beyond the words of patient, flexible, and accommodating. His communication, attention to detail, and professionalism was unmatched. I consider myself a tough critic and it takes a lot to impress me but I was definitely impressed. All of our guests were blown away by the wide variety of high-quality food, gorgeous rooms, and focus on safety during COVID. Everything from getting ready, pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after-party went smoother than I could have ever imagined. After being a guest at weddings at pretty much every venue in the area, The Grove is on a level of its own. I highly recommend Jason and The Grove!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
