    Five Stars for Hayloft in the Grove

    I'm the MOB for a wedding that was just held at the Hayloft in October of 2023. My daughter and son-in-law are service members stationed on the West Coast and I am local. The Hayloft was very accommodating in every way they could be to help us plan with the two most important people being so far away. We had a boutique wedding and it was perfect. They understood my daughter's vision and did a great job pulling it all together for us. Complete pros. We are very satisfied with our experience and highly recommend! Jeni and all of her staff were wonderful to work with:)

    Hayloft in the Grove review

    We had our wedding at Hayloft in the Grove on 7/15/23. When I say that you cannot go wrong with this team, I really mean it. From the day we signed our contract with them, it felt like they were right there with us with all the planning. Special thank you to Meaghan and Jeni!! They are both the sweetest and most attentive gals. They both have such a great eye for design. The whole team made the day run so smoothly. I truly have no idea if I even had any hiccups during the whole day because if there were any hiccups, they took care of it all without question.
    I would definitely rent the golf cart...

    Perfect Rustic Wedding

    Could not have been happier. You're getting some much more than just a beautiful venue. Jeni (owner) and her team are amazingly well organized and thorough. They patiently helped us through everything from the day of timeline, vendor recommendations, décor personalizations, planning, seating layouts, etc. Even multiple vendors commented on how much they like doing weddings at Hayloft, because they know everything is going to go smoothly.

    The grounds are gorgeous all year long. From our initial visit to the many subsequent planning meetings to the day of, seemed like every flowerbed was in bloom. The barn and stables are cozy and inviting, along with the amazing outdoor space/patios/pergolas. Can't recommend them enough.

    The Most Amazing Day Of Our Lives, Thanks To The Most Incredible People

    My wife and I had our wedding here a little less than two weeks ago and we are still in absolute awe of our entire experience with Hayloft. From the beginning of our engagement in 2020 until the day itself, Jeni and her team made planning our day so simple and made us feel so comfortable. We would come into a planning meeting with a million questions and they would all be answered before we even had the chance to ask them!

    The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. We were lucky enough to have the perfect weather for our day so that all of the features could be utilized (horseshoes, cornhole, etc.), but even if we had bad weather...

    Saving grace

    We were scheduled to marry during Covid and thought our day was lost. Jeni and team treated us like family. They helped us to reschedule for the following year but that wasn’t what made them so amazing. She still let us use the original day to do much more private and allowable ceremony. We were able to have family there with us, the photographer to do our photos, she helped fix a last minute flower change that was important to me, decorated the stables beautifully for the ceremony, handled the ceremony details, allowed us to do a practice the night before ALL AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. She was honoring all that we ordered for our 1 yr party that...

    Absolutely wonderful!

    It is an understatement to say that Jeni, Sandy and the hayloft crew went above and beyond for our wedding.

    Jeni kept in Constant contact with us and even helped us advert an almost disaster for our reception.

    They are extremely knowledgeable, flexible , and organized. Every single time I talked to Jeni she was straightforward and told us the truth about NYS changes due to Covid-19. She did not try and beat around the bush or tell us half truths to keep our deposit.

    When my wife was having anxiety over wedding planning and day of the wedding stress. Jeni made up code words for the two of them so they could communicate about any...

    The Perfect Wedding Venue

    Words cannot begin to describe how perfect our wedding and planning process went with the help of HayLoft in the Grove and their amazing staff. First off, my now wife and I took a tour of the property in July 2018 and at that time, we knew going in that we probably could not afford our wedding at this property just due to what it presented from the very beginning. First off, we were way wrong! The pricing is very competitive for venues of the similar rustic/chic vibe, however, the service and family like environment is what sets the HayLoft apart from the other options. We first met with Liane (wedding planner) and Jeni (owner of the HayLoft), we...

    Bride 7/20/19 wedding

    HayLoft in the grove truly made our dreams come true on our wedding day.
    The owner Jeni and her husband were absolutely amazing to work with. They were accommodating, kind and truly just wanted to just give us the perfect day.
    Liane, one of the wedding planners was amazing! I truly had minimal stress throughout the entire wedding process because if I had any questions or concerns Liane or Jeni always had a answer or solution. I was confident that I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding, they had everything already covered.
    The venue is stunning, I wouldn’t change a thing. We did all of our photos on the grounds. The...

    Best Wedding Day Ever

    The Hayloft let us have the wedding of our absolute dreams. First of all, the ambiance and atmosphere of the barn itself made for a beautiful night that all of my friends and family were in awe of. They just recently opened up their renovated horse stables for an alternate ceremony space that we chose to get married in, even though it was a nice an sunny day and we got sooo many compliments at how unique and fun the ceremony was because of it. Now onto Liane and Jeni - they are the absolute BEST! I couldn't imagine anyone better for the job than Liane when it came to coordinating everything. From start to finish she was so...

    The most beautiful property for our country chic wedding! The barn is beautiful on its own and then the property that surrounds it makes it a fairytale! All of the amentities that are offered with the barn such as, the staff that help you every step of the way, the main house to get ready, a cottage to stay in overnight, the restroom trailers, and the beautiful town of East Aurora that is just a mile away made the whole weekend bliss! I could not have picked a more romantic yet at home place to get married!

    Wonderful Venu

    We got married at The Hayloft in May of 2024 and my husband and I could not have asked for a better experience! From beginning to end Jeni and her team were incredible! As soon as we did our first tour we knew the hayloft was the place for us! All around beautiful venue! We chose the stables for our ceremony it is such a pretty set up and unique space and the cellar and barn were equally as beautiful! Plenty of scenic spots for photos on the grounds with a golf cart to take you around. Our guests enjoyed all of the patio seating, outside bar and yard games that were a big hit! All of the team...

    The most INCREDIBLE venue and team... There is truly no comparison

    I truly cannot say enough great things about this venue and their staff (huge shout out and thank you to Jeni, Meaghan, Alyssa, Mercedes, Sandy, and the whole team). My husband and I are originally from Buffalo however moved to Cincinnati for work and although all of our wedding planning was done out of state, it was seamless thanks to all of the staff working tirelessly at the Hayloft. They are experts when it comes not only to curating the most beautiful venue down to the details (from the crystal chandeliers in the ceremony stables to the string lights lending a warm glow to the stone cellar dining space), but also when it comes to planning / vendor recommendation...

    Everything we dreamed of, plus more!

    We recently were married at the Hayloft In the Grove & we cannot recommend it enough! Everything was perfect and it was all we dreamed of, plus more! What a wonderful location and the ground are absolutely breathtaking for photos.

    Jeni, Meghan and the staff were so helpful throughout the whole process- from day one including all the wedding planning session to the wedding day. They truly made our dreams come to reality. They are very professional and so prompt with communication, even when we were not. They do a great job checking in with you and making sure the wedding planning process is running smoothly. Jeni always answered all our questions truthfully and made recommendations when...

    Wedding 2022

    The Hayloft at The Grove was the perfect venue for my son and daughter in laws wedding this past August 2022. The staff was very accommodating and their expertise in the wedding industry made for the perfect day. Jeni and her staff were always available to answer any questions and were readily available the day of the wedding to make sure things ran smoothly.
    I would highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting a rustic theme to their day. You also need to check out their “Pinterest” room, everything and anything is available for you to make your theme come true.

    Absolutely breath taking place for a wedding

    This venue was absolutely wonderful, my daughter's wedding day was beautiful. When there were a few " oh no what do we do moments" the staff was quick to step in and help with our needs. All of our guest have repeated several times to me what a fantastic time they had at my daughter's wedding. The grounds were absolutely beautiful which helped to make the wedding day breath taking. Go meet the staff and you will have a wonderful experience.

    Beautiful Venue

    This venue was so beautiful in its own way we barley had to decorate due to its own rustic settings. The owner Jeni was a pleasure to work with. Not only did she own the venue but she acted as a wedding planner as well and had any and everything covered. She created a time sheet for the big day to make sure everything and everyone stayed on track.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about HayLoft!

    Listen, planning a wedding is a task in and of itself- add in a global pandemic, and it feels almost impossible. Jeni and the rest of the HayLoft staff made it so much easier for us! They were always helpful, had so many great suggestions (I say as a person who is indecisive at times) and the grounds are so beautiful. There are so many different places to take beautiful photos, and all of our guests enjoyed the outdoor area with games, plenty of seating, and the bar! They were so professional and not too pushy, and I think that is so important when planning an event as big as your wedding day! My husband and I got engaged...

Jeni (the owner) even picked flowers from her garden when my florist forgot my flowers! If your looking for the perfect rustic wedding venue this is it!!

    Jeni and the Hayloft Team were absolutely amazing! They helped us through the entire planning process all while making us feel like family. Amidst a global pandemic none the less Jeni went above and beyond to give us our big day after hosting us at the hayloft for a restricted private ceremony on our original wedding date 8.8.2020 she continued to support us and help us stay on top of planning into our re-booked date of 8.8.2021. Jeni and her team are so passionate about their work and it shows! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm intimate wedding planning experience and venue.

    Our Dream Day Come True!

    Our wedding day was exactly what we pictured thanks to the help of Jeni and her staff at the Hayloft in the Grove. They listen to your ideas and work hard to make those dreams a reality. They are extremely responsive and are there for you during the entire planning process, offering guidance and support.

    Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue is and loved the indoor/outdoor space at the barn. Jeni and her husband have done a phenomenal job with the property, making it a space that is perfect for your special day and somewhere your guests will never forget.

    We can't thank Jeni and her staff enough for all their help...
