The Grove

Our original wedding date was scheduled for 9/6/2020. We booked our date back in June of 2019. We were so excited as we thought a holiday weekend was going to work out for our family and friends. Then COVID-19 came and turned everything upside down.

At first I had to tell myself to be ok with not having over 65 guests, then I had to tell myself to be prepared in possibly having 50 guests. Then I had to mentally prepare myself that my Wedding may not happen, as our governor continues to make changes .

The coordinators have been straightforward and honest with me the whole time. However, you need to be the one that reaches out about questions/concerns. Time is of the essence. When our governor decided to make weekly changes and possibly cut down gathering size to more, I immediately reached out to Nancy who gave me wedding dates that were earlier in the month, and we talked options.

I pushed my wedding date from September 6th, 2020 to August, 22nd, 2020. I now only had two weeks to make it happen. Luckily my family and friends were all able to make the accommodations, flight changes to come.

The most stressful part about it all is the unknown. I will say that Nancy did an AMAZING job taking control with only two weeks out and keeping me on schedule of what is needed, and what is not needed. She knows what she is doing, is straight to the point, and just fun to talk to and have around.

Wedding day comes and it was a dream. I was only able to have 50 guests but it seemed to work out better this way. We had such an intimate wedding full of love. Everything was perfect. The setup was how I wanted, the food, the drinks. DJ Francisco was amazing!!!!! He kept everyone entertained. We had mostly Spanish speaking guests, so if you want a Spanish music DJ, BOOK HIM!!!!! Nancy and Ariel were both there that day and kept everyone rocking and rolling.

There was absolutely no complaint I would give to the Grove for my Wedding Day. It was magical. I felt like I was in a different world despite all that is going on. I still feel blessed to have been able to have it. My OCD walls came down. I only wish i would have booked more time!!!!!!

To brides that are booked and are unsure of what to do, just hang on. The coordinators cannot control guest size by the governors mandates. Be sure to reach out and have those conversations with the coordinators to prepare yourselves ahead of time as well as discuss cancellation policies, rebooking, etc. Be ok with a smaller guest size. It actually is really beautiful!!!

To brides considering booking, BOOK. Plan ahead. Hopefully things will change with covid by next year.

*If you are wondering about social distancing, yes you have to follow their guidelines. Yes, masks are required. But I would rather be safe than sorry. The social distancing and mask requirement did not stop my guests from having fun, and it did not stop our wedding. Now we have a story to tell our grandkids!!!!!*

Everyone at the venue was so helpful d truly made my day exceptional. I was able
To plan my whole wedding from Dallas and it was executed to perfection. When folks received a Vegas wedding invite I’m Sure they weren’t expecting this beautiful venue! Thanks for such an incredible experience!

We’re so glad we picked this venue! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us all the info we needed and were always ready to answer our questions. Karina was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing! She took care of everything from planning to the rehearsal, making sure everything was in order and in the right place for the big day. She and the staff worked together to create such a beautiful and decorated venue. Our DJ was super sweet and made sure we knew what to expect throughout the day. His music choices were great, and our guests loved them. We had a brunch wedding, and the food was fantastic, as was the cake. Oh, and let’s not forget our officiant, Doug. What a fantastic job! That speech was absolutely beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about The Grove. They made our day unforgettable, and we’ll be forever grateful!

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 venue is perfect for any size event. Affordable. And Hannah is a dream!

The Grove made everything so easy for me. All I had to do was show up and bring the decors and give them pictures of how I wanted things to be. It was raining on my wedding day and Karli made sure I had the last say on everything and whatever I wanted happens. Francisco our DJ also made us feel so comfortable and let us know that whatever we want is what’s going to happen. He definitely kept the party going and flowing in the right direction. All my vendors worked together to ensure our big day will be memorable regardless of the weather. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Perfect venue for an intimate wedding. Loved every single minute of it.

We had our wedding in October at The Grove and it was perfect! We had a horrible time with an outside wedding planner, and our coordinator at the venue, Hannah, helped us work around it for a wonderful day that we will never forget! She was so incredibly sweet and helpful. There was a snafu with a communication issue, but Hannah found a way to get everything fixed. Our families loved Hannah's personality while we did our rehearsal and she made everyone laugh throughout. We got married in the almond orchard and it was gorgeous! You don't need much to decorate the space. We had a floral arch piece from Wild Meadows Floral who works at the venue and had an arch draping and that was it. Everything else that comes with the space looked great. Food was amazing, management was so helpful, and so many people commented on how gorgeous the venue was! The price was also so great for everything that was included. For our reception space we decided to not have coverings on the chairs, went with the head table, and blush was our main color back lighting for the night. I cannot say enough kind words about The Grove's staff, preferred vendors, services, venue, and food!

I don’t even know where to start. But literally from the beginning they were amazing. From helping me select signs from there many available. To the colors the food the adult beverages. The staff was so amazingly helpful. The DJ omg can’t thank her enough for all the help that day to keep it all going on time. My coordinator wow could not have got through it without her.

After searching for a year and a half in my own city (San Diego) for a wedding venue, my mom had suggested that I should try Vegas. When she mentioned that, I immediately thought “typical Vegas wedding” on the strip, in a little chapel.. mmm, no thanks. But upon further research, I came across the Grove, and I’m so incredibly glad I found this hidden gem! This venue is the complete opposite of your typical Vegas strip wedding! They have an almond orchard! Yes, an almond orchard! A couple days prior to our wedding, the trees were in full bloom with pretty white flowers! I was elated!! The Grove, their entire staff, the venue itself.. AMAZING!! MY husband and I were orginally supposed to get married here April 2020, but unfortunately a month prior, COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding to Feb 2021. Planning a wedding is already stressful enough, that planning it during a pandemic was on another level! Our guest count went from 62 down to 32, (due to people not feeling comfortable to travel at that time, which was completely understandable). The Grove had spaced out the tables by household so that families were socially distanced. Even my sister who is a nurse that was feeling uneasy about traveling and being in a room with other people felt more than comfortable with the way everything was set up. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere! Throughout the entire process everyone at the Grove ENSURED us that we would have our dream wedding, and in all honestly, they went above and beyond in more ways than 1! They exceeded our expectations 10-fold!! They were VERY ACCOMODATING, I mean VERY!!!! They worked tirelessly to make sure such an important day for us went smoothly. Jacquelyn our coordinator was always quick to respond to my emails with any questions or concerns that we had. She was such a delight to work with and I know I couldn’t have done it without her! She handled all of the revisions on her end, which helped me out so much so that it allowed me to focus on things that I needed to take care of on my end. Doug, our minister was wonderful! Luke with lighting and I believe Prestige DJ was INCREDIBLE! The cake that we had chose with Ariel was beautiful and delicious, not to mention I’m glad I decided to do the overlay at the arch! Since this in an all-inclusive venue, it made planning a wedding (from out of town) much more easier. Their entire staff communicated so well with us! Our guests were absolutely blown away with the venue, the Grand Garden Room, the food, open bar?! Uh.. yes please! How could you not choose this place for your wedding?!!!! Because of how beautiful and magical everything was, at the reception, and even afterwards, family members from San Diego were already making plans to have their events at the Grove! Lol! The entire wedding from the ceremony to the reception was small and intimate, but filled with SO MUCH love, laughter and joy we wouldn’t have had it any other way. Real talk, had we not been forced to postpone our wedding due to Covid, we truly believe that our wedding wouldn’t have turned out as wonderful as it did if we had it back in April 2020.. period. Again, we cannot express how grateful we are to the entire staff at the this amazing venue, and I will continue to refer this place to anyone asking for venue suggestions!! Thank you thank you!

From day one, I fell in love with the beauty of this venue. The wedding coordinators are fabulous!
