  An Enchanting Wedding Venue

  If I could give six stars for this wedding venue I would award it to this enchanted setting with the most helpful staff that anyone could ever imagine. My daughter had her wedding there on Saturday and Mound Grove was nothing short of perfection. This sounds like an exaggeration, but there were times I needed to have help, and even BEFORE I found a staff member, one of them had already resolved the issue. How is that even possible? Every last detail was attended to... the decorations, the lighting, the cake, the preparations, the extra touches, the last minute "surprises", the grounds, the restrooms and the entire catering / bar set-up. The food was superb ! We looked at many other venues but what ultimately drew us to Mound Grove with the welcoming, passionate staff. We knew they would get us through one of the most important days of my daughter's and son-in-law's lives. When the guests walked into the barn they said it felt magical. If there would be one gold standard with which to compare all other venues, this would be it. Thank you to everyone at Mound Grove for the perfect wedding. All of you are magical too!!

  Hands down the best venue for a wedding!!!!!! Mound Grove Golf Course is amazing, and I'm truly honored to have chosen them for our wedding venue!!!
  
  Cindy and Stephanie were phenomenal - they made sure to ask us if we needed anything. If we needed anything they were right there making sure we had it. They truly took a huge burden off of my shoulders with all of their help - I have to admit everything went smoothly. A huge thank you to the rest of their staff who made our day special as well.
  
  All of our guests were amazed at the venue, and they kept complimenting how wonderful the venue was along with the FOOD. The food was delicious - while I only had a small plate of food (to busy to eat a lot), both my husband and I were pleased on how everything turned out. Again, we were pleased with the food choices of Roast Beef and Chicken for our dinner.
  
  Another side note, my wedding party along with my mother and I stayed at the Homestead house the night before the wedding. What a beautiful home, and an honor to share such a special part of my life with the owners of Mound Grove.
  
  From my husband and I - thank you for everything you did to make our day so special. The memories will sure last a lifetime.
  
  Love,
  Jim & Julie Donnachie (9/23/17)

  I literally have nothing bad to say about Mound Grove, the staff, or anything! They made our day perfect and Kelly worked SO HARD to make sure everything was exactly as I wanted. She was so sweet and caring and made me feel like she was part of the family. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Mound Grove EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The price was great, the food was great, the service was great! Everything about it was even better than I could have imagined! Kelly really cares about her brides and it shows! Everyone raved about her and the venue! I can't recommend Mound Grove enough!!!

  Mound Grove was absolutely the perfect place for my wedding. Not only was the ceremony beyond beautiful, but the staff made my day 100% easier! They were flexible and had many back up plans ready for any case scenario. The day of my wedding went so smoothly. I forgot my garder and a mound grove staff member ran to the store moments before the ceremony to get a new one without even being asked!! I can not say enough about how wonderful this venue was!

  Kelly was absolutely fantastic! I had so many questions and she was always responsive and never made me feel like I was bothering her with the little stuff. My ceremony was supposed to be outside, but it ended up raining that day but everything was a smooth transition to having everything inside the barn. I loved the rustic feel to the barn. We had approximately 225 people there, so it was snug but it wasn't packed. There was never a line at the bar that I can remember. I would definitely recommend Mound Grove to any couple that wants a rustic, country theme!

  Talk to Cindy and Jennine and you will feel at home and very comfortable. We primary worked through Cindy and she was very accommodating and made our wedding go off without a hitch (other than the intended one). The food was great and people LOVED the barn environment. She also worked with us to figure out the best approach for drinks and food based on different options. They even adapted on the fly based on how the reception was going. We had a smaller wedding (immediate family only) and for a smaller wedding, I would suggest the downstairs banquet room. Much more intimate and temperature controlled (we had a fall wedding and it was cold outside, but very comfortable inside). I would not change a thing!

  The staff at Mound Grove was beyond amazing; incredibly easy to work with on all levels (communication, décor, set up, tear down, and service). They were extremely helpful with set up in the morning (ceremony was switched very last minute from outside to inside due to weather) & insisted we enjoy the tail end of the night & they would take care of all the clean up. The venue provides a gorgeous environment with minimal décor, but is spacious enough to set up plenty if that is your preference. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have what is to date the best day of my life!

  Mound grove was soooo accommodating to everything we wished for and needed. The only downfall was that it was very cold inside the barn (who would have thought it would snow and be a high of 36 in october?) We did know there was a chance of any kind of weather, so we don't blame them!

  The venue is stunning. It is easy to work with the Mound Grove staff. The Homestead is separate from Mound Grove. Kelly is very flexible and friendly. She does whatever she can to make your day perfect. It poured the day of our wedding, so we had to move everything inside. She was quick to come up with a plan, which helped keep me calm. Everything went smoothly.

  Mound grove made our wedding day so special and everything went off without a hitch thanks to Kelly and the staff. All staff members were very helpful, friendly, and always had a smile on their face. Kelly made me feel like a friend and always responded quickly to emails, phone calls, etc quickly and was always able to answer any question I had. She was absolutely amazing the day of the wedding making sure everyone was on time and everything went as planned. The venue was perfect for our wedding and being able to set up the day before and clean up the day after made it much easier on us all. The food was excellent, but the caesar salad needs a little work. The kitchen did an amazing job with our sit down dinner and the appetizers were all brought out exactly how and when we asked. One thing which I noticed needs a little work is the restrooms for the upstairs barn, we rented a portable trailer with 2 toilets, which was very very nice but pricey (Kelly did all the research and ordering for us). Overall, this is a lovely venue and I am so we decided this was the venue for our wedding.

  Thank you so much! We will definitely take note of those few items and I am crossing my fingers for upstairs restrooms. It was such a pleasure helping you out along the way and getting to know you.

  Brides look elsewhere.

  I would be careful booking this vendor. They make lots of promises, but do not follow through. When confronted with the problems, they've done nothing to make it right. Brides be careful
