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!

The best wedding w/the best food!
I don't even know where to begin. The Grove is the BEST BEST BEST venue!!! We postponed our wedding 4 times. Our original date was 3/21/20, so we had to move the wedding 8 days before. Jason (who is by far the best there is) was sooo accommodating throughout the process. We ended up moving our date 3 times and finally got married on 11/6/21 and it was the best night of our lives!!!
First off, as mentioned above, Jason is the best. My husband and I are foodies, so the food and menu was extremely important to us. Jason helped us pick our menu and he didn't steer us wrong. He was also so patient as we changed our mind about the food at least 10 times. The food was out of this world! Our guests are still raving about it and couldn't believe how much food there was! One of our requests was to have the cocktail hour food brought up to our bridal suite after the ceremony. The Grove really delivered on this, we literally had multiple pieces of every single food offered at cocktail hour. The food was UNREAL. My husband and I also wanted to make sure we tried all 3 entrees and The Grove gave us each entrée to try.
The day of- Atef (maître'd) and Emma (bridal attendant) were amazing. I'm a planner and obviously the day of, I had to step back and let Atef and Jason run everything. Everything went sooo smoothly. Emma was amazing and was literally always near me to get me whatever I needed. At one point I went to the bar to get a drink and she told me no she would get it for me!! She was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better bridal attendant!!
My husband’s groom attendant (Luis) was also amazing and made sure the guys had ample Shirley Temples throughout the day. He also made sure they were dressed when they needed to be!
Another request my husband and I had was to keep the venue on the colder side as we both run hot, especially when nervous and stressed. The Grove really made sure the temperature was perfect for us and wouldn't change the temperature without asking us. Also, I requested wet towels to be passed around on the dance floor and they were!!!
Given our wedding was moved 4 times and postponed 8 days out, it was extremely stressful. The Grove and Jason really made it sooo easy for us and I would HIGHLY recommend booking a wedding here. We honestly can’t stop thinking about the food and hope we get to go to a wedding there one day!!!

Dream wedding!
My wedding at the Grove was perfection! I could not ask for anything more, their attention to detail was amazing! The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the flow of the party was amazing, and the way the staff handled the bride (me) and groom was amazing. I can not thank The Grove enough for the wedding of my dreams!

The Grove is the Best!
You cannot go wrong hosting your wedding at The Grove. After visiting a handful of venues that didn't feel right for me and my fiance, I came across The Grove. From the moment I walked in it felt perfect. The space is beautiful! Classy and gorgeous décor, not at all gaudy like so many other venues I'd seen. The space is huge and customizable in such a way that you can completely design the flow of your wedding.
I worked with Jason and he ensured that my vision came to life. I wanted a cocktail style reception - food stations throughout the room for guests to enjoy the entire night. A few venues were transparent and told me they don't do that style well, however, The Grove did a seamless job. My guests are still raving about the food and service. Your guests will not go thirsty or hungry! When guests arrive they're greeted with champagne and the cocktail hour is abundant. Adding the raw bar is was definitely worth the value.
The day of event staff is incredible. Emma, Luis and Atef supported us the entire day and we never needed for anything. They were always one step ahead and ensured the day was stress free. My fiance had a couple wardrobe malfunctions - broken shoes, torn pants - and Luis handled it all.
Overall, our experience at The Grove was perfect.

Absolute best venue
We truly cannot thank the staff at The Grove enough for the most AMAZING day. We still have guests reaching out to us saying how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. From the cocktail hr, main courses, Viennese hour, first class service from each and every staff member, no detail was missed. My bridal attendant, Jackie, was so attentive and was there for anything and everything I needed. She was amazing! When it came time to bustling my dress, she said she studied my dress earlier and knew exactly what to do. My mom and I are still talking about how much we appreciate the time and effort she put into making everything perfect. Luis was fabulous for the guys as well. The guys said he was so on top of things they felt like he was reading their minds because they never had to wait for anything. They were so impressed with Luis. Our Maitre d' Atef was so helpful from the moment we met with him to drop off everything to the wedding day. He too made sure no detail was missed and was always a step ahead of us. We never once had to look for any of them or do anything ourselves, they were always there with anything we needed. Even the service my parents received, being shown the cocktail hour first, being offered additional meals to try and never having an empty drink. Our wedding day is something we have dreamt of our entire lives. Covid certainly put a damper on things but we are so glad we proceeded with plans having our wedding at The Grove. It truly exceeded all expectations and was our fairy tale wedding. We are so sad that the day is over and we cannot do it again. But we are all praying we have the opportunity to come back to The Grove as a guest for another event. Our manager Jason gave us amazing recommendations from meal options to the change in schedule. It was all perfect and could not have gone better. Going into the wedding everyone kept telling me- things will go wrong, just go with it and no one will know. We ended the wedding night asking if anything went wrong. Nothing went wrong! We cannot get over that the fact that we did not face any issues and everything went seamlessly. We are still on a high from our wedding. We cannot thank the management and staff enough for treating us like royalty and making our wedding the best day ever.

If you are looking for a top tier venue go with the Grove. They were incredibly professional and everyone was so helpful, especially Jason and Atef.

Amazing! Highly recommend!
The Grove was AMAZING and we are so glad we chose to have our wedding here!!! The sparkling clean, fresh, brand new feel, along with the beautiful lobby captivated us from the moment we set foot in the Grove. After viewing the stunning and spacious cocktail room and the incredible grand ball room, we instantly knew that this place was for us! While planning a wedding during covid-19 can be challenging and stressful, the Grove made the venue part of our planning seamless and stress free. The Grove was there every step of the way as we planned our wedding. They were available to answer all of our questions and accommodate any of our needs instantaneously! From the dozens of email exchanges and several in-person drop ins, the Grove always came through for us – especially Jason (the Managing Director). They were always available and quick to respond to us, no matter how annoying we were – and I can assure you, we were pretty annoying at times, especially with the stress of Covid. When our wedding day came, we couldn’t have been more pleased with the Grove! Our wedding was amazing and everything went absolutely perfect! The entire staff at the Grove made our night perfect, from the Managing Director who was on site for our wedding making sure everything went to plan, to our amazing bridal attendant, maître d, and the entire wait staff and bartenders. They were incredible! The entire set up, lighting, layout, etc. was amazing and exactly how we envisioned it to be. The food and desserts were INCREDIBLE! Our guests were raving about our wedding, especially how amazing the food and desserts were. We were very happy with the Grove and would choose it 1,000 times over again if we had to. Following the wedding we along with our parents received many texts and phone calls from our guests who were blown away by our wedding and the food and service from the Grove. And we ourselves had said over and over again how we wish that we could re-live the day. We HIGHLY recommend the Grove – you will not be disappointed!

Best Venue EVER!!!
Where to begin regarding The Grove. Words will never be enough to express the experience that my husband and I had with the venue. From our booking in December of 2018, to all the adjustments to planning and postponement of our August 2020 date due to Covid, to our wedding day on March 26, 2021, The Grove has been nothing but exceptional. Raúl, our coordinator, was of great help and support throughout this entire experience. Noelia, my bridal attendant, and Luis, the groom attendant, were of amazing. They kept both of of us calm and assisted us throughout the day, and night, with whatever we needed. The entire staff was exceptional and we could not have asked for more. BOOK THIS VENUE!!! I promise you will not regret it ;-)

Look no further!
I do not even know where to begin with the Grove. They went above and beyond. Any expectation we had was completely blown out of the water. We worked with Jimmy directly, but every single one of the staff members were beyond exceptional. My husband wanted to bring to life a traditional celebration from where we are from, here in the US. I couldn't have imagined anything remotely close to what Jimmy was able to put together. We had a large wedding with a first look and a celebration of about 40 people before the church. They did not skip a beat in any aspect the entire day! The food, service, lighting, and everything was utter perfection!
Almost 3 years later, everyone still talks about how amazing the Grove was. We cannot wait to be able to attend or host our next event at the Grove!

The Perfect Valentine's Day Wedding
My now-husband and I got married at The Grove on February 14, 2021. I knew (and my husband did, too) that The Grove would be our place the minute we walked in while scouting venues. The beautiful entry way and grand staircase piqued our interested, but the cocktail and reception rooms pretty much seal the deal.
Christina, our wedding angel of a coordinator, was there every step of the way. She helped us choose cocktail stations, explained how the day's scheduling would go, and literally answered every question I had (no matter how ridiculous it was) about the day. She kept on top of everything we needed and by the time our day rolled around, my husband and I had absolutely no concerns or worries about how it would all go.
Everyone who worked our wedding was absolutely phenomenal. If Febe is your bridal attendant for the event, you will 100% love her by the end. We brought in special drinking glasses to use for the night and she went out of her way to find it for us days later.
That's the kind of attention you will get here at The Grove. Everyone truly listens to and eases your concerns and takes your best interests into account. I totally wish we could do our wedding over again. It was MAGICAL! Everyone who attended is STILL talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the food was, especially the tequila luge during cocktail hour. Thank you all for everything!!

The best venue!!!!
Aside from the grove being absolutely stunning!!!! It is always sparkling clean any day you go there! The entire team goes above and beyond to make sure you and your guests are happy and that everything is perfect!
Get your appointment with Christina because she is the fairy Godmother of all coordinators! I can’t say enough good things about her and her team! They were truly remarkable and made our wedding spectacular from start to finish!
The food on the other hand is the 1 reason aside from anything else why you need to run and book right now! Every single thing was better than the next! Our guests raved about everything! Trust me when I say you and your guests will not be disappointed with the Grove! We hope we get to throw another incredible event with this amazing staff very soon!
My husband and I chose The Grove for our September 2019 wedding. From the second we walked into the grand lobby with marble floors, impressive chandeliers, and high ceilings, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We took our pictures in the lobby and outside and had our ceremony indoors. Our cocktail hour was spectacular, the Viennese display was over the top, and our champagne glasses were never empty. Our guests are STILL talking about the food!! The general manager personally checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure everything was running smoothly and that we were enjoying ourselves. I wish we could get married at The Grove every year!!!

I cannot say enough about The Grove. This was the first venue of 10 that we had scheduled to see. After meeting with Raul (the absolute best!!), I knew they had set the bar high. After visiting two other venues, I cancelled all our other appointments and booked with the Grove- there was no competition!
I cannot express enough, how absolutely perfect our wedding day was. The Grove puts on an amazing show for the guests- from the cocktail hour, to the lighting, to the sparklers, to the amazing food, to the Viennese hour (YOU MUST DO THIS), every single one of our guests were blown away. They have this wedding thing down solid. Everything went so smoothly, they have amazing staff. Ashley, my bridal attendant, was THE BEST. I would not have had such a great day if it wasn't for all of her attention to me. I promise you, if you book The Grove, not only will your guests be blown away by the beauty of the venue and their amazing service, your wedding day will be absolutely perfect in every way you imagine it. They go above and beyond, you will feel like a king and queen on your day!

Spectacular From Gown Bustling to Dessert
WOW! Just, WOW! I'm not sure how else to begin this review. I fell in love with The Grove in August 2018, but The Grove's team truly made our Wedding Day unforgettable. The Grove's service and attention to detail went so far beyond and exceeded our expectations. From the food to the decor to the service, our guests cannot stop talking about how our wedding was truly the wedding of the decade! Your staff is a group of All-Stars! I literally watched Omar put out fire with his fingers to keep our candles perfect, can you say INCREDIBLE!!!
I can not say enough about Ashley, even my bridesmaids were blown away at her service. She could anticipate my needs before I even had time to ask- she is WONDER WOMAN!
Maggie, thank you for being on top of things and making me feel both confident and excited about our wedding!
Chef Anthony and his crew are magnificent! They made special Peruvian dishes for cocktail hour and dessert to highlight my husband's heritage.
Raul was our representative, ambassador, and advocate. He kept me calm the entire reception and I enjoyed every moment of my wedding. Because of him, I NEVER worked during my wedding! He is so professional and talented, I was blessed to have him by our side. He made us feel like royalty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It rained on October 20th, and all of our wedding photos are indoors... AND I WOULDN'T have it any other way! The Grove is a stunning background for our pictures! ALL BRIDES WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET THE GROVE! You made our dreams come true, I am forever thankful!

Wedding at The Grove
As soon as my husband and I walked into the Grove, we were blown away by its beauty. The staff were very professional and attentive from the first meeting we had. We met with Raul who was phenomenal. Raul was very professional, guided us from day 1 and answered all of our questions. He went above and beyond in making sure that everything was perfect. Noelia, who was my bridal attendant, was extremely helpful the whole night. She helped with the bustle of my dress, changed my shoes, made sure we ate, and was very attentive the whole night. Our guests cannot stop raving about the delicious food, the service, the decor and experience that they had while they were at our wedding. A huge thank you to Raul, Noeila, Maggie and the rest of the Grove staff for making this a truly magical day! We highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to plan an event!

Amazing Wedding Reception!
The Grove NJ is an amazing place. The level of professionalism was unbelievable and exceeded all of our expectations. The service was fantastic. All our guests felt like royalty. We felt like royalty. Our families felt like royalty. The food never ran out. We had so many compliments on how excellent the food was, how much variety there was, and how beautiful the entire place was. The Grove NJ is an excellent venue to have a wedding reception, whether it's in the morning (like our wedding) or in the evening. My wife always had someone from the The Grove at her side to help with anything and everything. We were taken care of so well and couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommended! We worked with Jason (General Manager), Andrew, and Michelle. Thank you!

Best Day Ever!
It’s now been 8 days since our wedding at The Grove, and people are STILL calling and texting us to say how incredible their experience was. Many places might claim to be top-notch, but The Grove truly follows through on that claim. The bride’s and groom’s attendants were on hand all day (well over 12 hours, when factoring in getting-ready time) and catered flawlessly to our every last need and request - but that is only the start of the white glove service. Every guest at our wedding was blown away by the ambience provided by the outdoor ceremony area as well as the luxurious cocktail hour. Not only were the food options endless and unique, but The Grove utilizes its space so intelligently that every guest was able to take a seat during cocktail hour if they wished. From cocktail hour we moved directly into the main ballroom for the reception, where we made our first grand entrance as husband and wife from the upstairs bridal suite, where we descended directly into the reception as we were introduced. Not to be outdone by the cocktail hour appetizers, whatever entree you choose at the reception is guaranteed to be the best meal you’ll have all year. Our wedding had about 165 guests, but as the bride and groom we were so closely attended-to that we felt like we might as well have been the only two people there. The Grove also only ever does one event on-site at a time, so if you get married here, you will feel like royalty all day. The Grove are the consummate pros for any and all of your wedding needs!

The perfect wedding day thanks to The Grove!
When you walk into The Grove, you are blown away by the beauty of the venue. We then sat down with Jason Shukovsky who made us feel that we were going to be well taken off and that we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. This was exactly how we felt the day of! We both had an attendant to help us the morning of. My bridal attendant was Maggie and she was absolutely invaluable! I ran out of time to steam the robes the girls were going to wear prior to that day and Maggie offered to help steam them for us that morning. She was also there for everything I needed including reapplying my lipstick! Jason and everyone at The Grove thought of everything and the day went off without a hitch! We have been told by all of our guests that it was the best wedding they have ever been too and the food was amazing! Do not think twice before booking The Grove, you won’t regret it!

The most amazing venue!
After visiting several venues and not feeling interested in any of them, my now-husband and I decided to visit The Grove on a whim. We didn't have high hopes originally, but working with Andrew and everyone else at The Grove was an absolute pleasure. Andrew made sure that every detail was covered and everything was done to our liking. He was easy to reach out to and he made sure everything was perfect for our big day! We received nothing but great compliments from all of our guests, from the amazing cocktail hour, to the delicious meals served, to the overall beautiful venue - we could not have asked for anything better. Highly recommend The Grove!

The best wedding venue
We are very grateful to the team of the Grove, especially Andrew. They went out of their way to ensure that every small part of the wedding was exceptionally well taken care of. The venue is stunning, very well equipped and the staff is par excellence. A very special thanks to Andrew, the man is phenomenal. He thoroughly enjoys his work and provides the highest level of service. We very highly recommend him.

Excellent Overall Experience
Andrew was an excellent tour guide / Wedding Coordinator. this was the 2nd venue we looked at, and it completely blew away every other vendor we visited. The bathrooms and grooms/brides suites are apartment sized. Marble floors everywhere. The quality of the Grove can not be beat. The price was slightly higher than the other venues ($20-$30 more expensive per person), but when you go and see it, you will realize that it is well worth it. The Grove Experience is what put us over the top. We highly recommend this venue. 9/6/2020 is our special date, and we can not wait. Thank you to Andrew for making us feel like Kings and Queens while we were there.

Incredible wedding!
My wife and I were married at the Grove on 12/29/18 and all I can say is – WOW. From the first meeting earlier in the year to the minute we left the venue on our wedding night, every single request, need, and detail was attending to with absolute precision. Each and every one of our guests said the wedding was amazing --- with many of them calling it the best wedding they’ve attended in their life. And it all starts with the staff – Andrew was our event manager and had us at hello. He answered every question we threw at him in the months leading up to the wedding, but truly shined on the day itself. He coordinated with each of our vendors, ensured every detail was in place, and even adjusted to our last minute requests on the fly – he was on top of EVERYTHING. We felt his genuine care for each of us which made the day even more special. On the day itself, my wife had Ashley as her bridal attendant – I can honestly say I’ve never seen someone work so hard at their job. She was with my wife every step of the way – fluffed her dress when needed, got drinks delivered on cue, and even radioed for a lint roller when I got fuzz on my tuxedo during pictures outside! Ashley is FANTASTIC. And running point on the day was our maitre d', Liliya. Liliya executed everything flawlessly and made sure my wife and I were in the right place at the right time throughout the night (pictures, introductions, cake cutting, etc.). She too was able to handle our day-of requests without fail.
And as for the venue itself --- it is SPECTACULAR! You’re immediately whisked away from New Jersey when you step foot in the Grand Lobby. Each of the ballrooms (for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) are gorgeous. And the food….people can’t stop talking about the food. Chef Anthony Garruto outdoes himself every night putting together a cocktail hour that is above and beyond what anyone could expect. Which is then somehow topped when the Viennese Table is revealed…any dessert you can imagine is put in front of your guests.
There is a reason The Grove was placed on the Top 10 Luxurious places to get married in the United States – it is top notch all around. An absolutely magical place to get married!

The best venue in NJ hands down!
Where should I start, Jason, Raul and Amanda are the dream team at the grove!!! From the very first time my husband and I walked in, we knew it was the venue for us! Not only is this venue absolutely mouth dropping gorgeous and elegant, the service each staff member provides is just out of this world! We got married 4 months ago and our family is still ranting and raving about the service and the food! Everyone was so accommodating and always going above and beyond to make me happy and make our day special! When our original contact left, I was nervous but Jason stepped up and made me feel relaxed and made me realize I was actually in better hands. He was super sweet and did everything to ensure I was happy. Oh yea and Paul also ;) Raul, Raul Raul my dear Raul! He was just perfect! Both he and his staff get an A+ in service!!! Everything couldn’t have gone any better! And Amanda the sweetest bridal attendant a girl could ask for! She literally made me, my husband and our family feel like royalty! We left there that night feeling like we were just the lead roles in a fairytale! Our wedding was perfect!!! Oh and did I mention how delicious everything was!!! We are Portuguese and while service is important the food is the first thing we judge! To hear my family rant and rave about the cocktail hour, the main course and especially the spectacular vianese table was just awesome and everything I had dreamt of! Thank you so much to everyone at the grove that made our wedding truly a dream come true! We love you guys!

Fairy tale wedding
When I got engaged, I made a long list of places I wanted to visit as possible locations for my wedding. Being from NJ, I knew I wanted to get married in NJ. My husband found The Grove online and as soon as I walked in I knew I wanted to get married there (I literally got a bridal moment haha). We walked around and everything took my breath away, they even have a Historic House on site that’s awesome to take pictures inside and outside. We went to some more locations afterwards, but I kept thinking back to The Grove and within a couple of days I came back to sign the contract.
Before the wedding, we worked with Jason S. He is literally the best, but you’ll come to find out that everyone that works there is amazing. Jason helped so much with the wedding from walking us through the menu, talking about the different events of the day and seating chart issues. We did a Kosher style wedding and we were even able to order separate Glatt Kosher meals for the people who needed them.
I can’t even begin to explain how magical our wedding day was. People are still talking about how it was a fairy tale. There isn’t one place you can’t take a picture, because everything is so luxurious and beautiful. The food is top notch, people are still raving about how amazing the food was and how delicious all the desserts were. No one and I mean NO ONE left the wedding hungry. The service there not only makes the couple feel special, but the guests as well. People told me after the wedding how attentive and friendly the staff was. Raul was the Maitre d' at our wedding and he was so nice and professional. He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped guide us on what we should expect during the night. Ashley was my bridal attendant and she went above and beyond. She made sure I was eating, drinking, helped me get in and out of my gown and dealt with every issue coming from my bridal party. She was a literal angel and I wouldn’t have asked for anyone else. Andrew was the attendant for my husband and he was just as awesome. He made sure my husband was eating, drinking and having a good time with his friends. I truly can only say good things about The Grove. If you want to get married and feel like royalty, this is the place. It was the best day of my life and The Grove helped make sure it was one of a kind

Amazing Wedding, Amazing Service, Amazing Venue!!
I cannot say enough great words about this venue and the management team!! Our wedding was a dream! From day one Jimmy and the team went out of their way to make sure all my questions were addressed and all of our requests fulfilled! To this day, almost a month and a half later our guests make it a point to reach out to us to rave about the food, cocktail hour, reception and after party and they all say the same thing, best wedding they have been to with the best food. Their organization skills throughout the entire planning process and especially the day off are impeccable. Everything went so smoothly which is not an easy feat when you host two hundred people. I couldn't have done it without Lillya (the day of coordinator) and Ashley (my bridal attendant). They were amazing and thought of every single detail, from taking care of our bridal party and many guests we had from overseas, to fixing my dress and make sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. I had heard from many previous couples who got married there that they wish they could go back as wedding guests and i completely agree!! I am looking forward to going back soon. Thank you The Grove NJ - you are AMAZING!!

We were absolutely over the moon with the service and presentation at The Grove. Jimmy and his team go above and beyond to ensure that everyone is happy and feels satisfied and comfortable in planning details up to the big day. They were flexible with everything and made the process seamless. Our reception was beyond measure, and we haven’t stopped hearing from our family how absolutely beautiful everything was, and about the AMAZING food and venue. We love The Grove and are so grateful to have had our dream wedding there.

I don't even know where to begin. Our whole adventure begins with Andrew Kronengold. The absolute greatest sales manager you could ever ask for. Andrew made sure our entire wedding planning journey was seamless. The Grove is an incredible facility with so much to offer you are left speechless. The moment you walk in those doors into the giant gorgeous foyer, you will be hooked I promise!
My husband and I were introduced to our attendants first thing in the morning. Ashley and Andrew were incredible. Ashley was easily the greatest bridal attendant I've ever seen. I've BEEN a bridal attendant, I know what it takes and this girl is the BEST. My husband had a groom's attendant, Andrew. Easily Ashley's twin. Andrew was so insanely attentive, it definitely didn't go unnoticed. My husband was wearing velvet shoes for our wedding and Andrew literally carried around duct tape to remove any lint or fuzz that touched those shoes.
Cocktail hour was amazing, I wish we had more time to spend in it. The stations looked incredible and the food was to die for. The creativity that was shown throughout those stations cannot be matched. As for the ballroom, we had 200 people very comfortably, all the food was beautifully displayed and so so delicious. We had the Viennese for dessert where an entire different room opened. People were SHOCKED. The amount of desserts in that room is unbelievable. Easily one of my favorite parts of the night.
The Grove is worth every single penny. We got married in January 2018, people are still constantly raving about our wedding.
To Andrew Kronengold, thank you for making our dreams come true. You helped give us absolutely everything we could have ever wanted and more. We miss The Grove DAILY and really hope to be back as a guest soon.
To Ashley and Andrew, thanks for making our day so seamless. Your attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed.
Thank you all for the best wedding we could have ever imagined
Love Kristen & Kamil Nieroda

A HUGE thank you to Andrew, Raul, Ashley and all of the Grove Staff.
I cannot express how happy we were with the entire wedding planning process and specifically with the night itself. We had the time of our lives and everything was perfect. Every single detail was thought out and the day of operations could not have been smoother.
None of this could have happened without Andrew. From the very beginning he helped us work through every detail and guided us through the entire process. Andrew was so on point that we could not have missed a detail or forgotten something even if we tried. Likewise, Raul (the most fantastic Maitre D') took everything we threw at him in stride and helped to facilitate all of our craziest ideas! From beginning to end, the Grove Staff were fantastic. They provided such great service and elevated the affair to a level I could not have even envisioned.
Lastly, Ashley (THE best bridal attendant) was AMAZING. She made the day so unbelievably easy; she was truly invaluable. I cannot even begin to imagine the day going as well without her help and assistance. She made me feel so comfortable the whole day and ensured that everything was exactly as I had imagined. Words alone do not express my utmost gratitude and and appreciation for all she did on the day of.
Our wedding was truly magical. I am on cloud nine and have not stopped grinning from ear to ear since Saturday. I feel so lucky that we chose the Grove for our wedding 15 months ago and cannot recommend it highly enough!

If you are looking to have the most perfect day of your life, have your wedding at The Grove. From the first visit until the last second of our wedding, the service, warmth, beauty, and accommodations would exceed anyone’s expectations. Jason Shukovsky and his staff really know how to create an event that will be the best you will ever experience. The food was UNREAL to say the least. Every single bite was perfection. From the sushi and raw bar, to the slider station with accompanying root beer floats, the taste, creativity, display, and service was something we, and our guests have never experienced before.
I cannot say enough about Raul, our maître D. He treated our wedding as if it were his own. Not one detail was missed. Everything looked picture perfect and the organization of our ceremony and reception was superb. Everyone should be so lucky to have Raul as their point man. He is the best in the business.
The bridal and groom attendants, Amanda and Andrew, are the most caring and genuine people you will meet. They made sure we looked and felt perfect the entire day. Not only for us, but for our family members as well. They were so attentive and caring. You felt like you knew them forever.
Over all, I wouldn’t be able to rate the Grove, because it is completely off the charts. There are not enough stars to give to the experience. It is completely unmatched.
The professionalism and perfectionism that every single staff member has at the Grove, makes this venue the first and last stop for a couple who wants to have the best day of their entire lives.

The Grove was absolutely perfect. You don't realize until it is the day of, getting your hair and makeup done and having no idea where anything is, how important it is to have a venue to take care of it all. They did everything! Cannot tell you how much weight they take off your shoulders making everything perfect for you when you arrive. AMAZING and STUNNING and food is the best in NJ. So thankful. Day was perfect till the last second.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing the staff were at the Grove, as well as the venue itself. My husband and I were pretty much set on another venue nearby and after numerous visits could never chose one. We visited this venue without an appointment and were accommodated without hesitation. Well, after 30 minutes and only seeing the venue once, we signed the contract on the spot, and I can honestly say aside from saying yes to my proposal, it was the easiest, most confident decision I’ve ever made! From then on, anytime we had questions, Michael and Maggie were easily accessible and helpful. At some point throughout the year, Michael stepped down and Jason took over. Jason always made us feel so important and at ease that everything we ever imagined would come to fruition the day our wedding came. The day of, everything fulfilled and surpassed our expectations by a long shot! I could not even possibly put into words how easy the day flowed because my husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing. This venue is so well versed in throwing well organized, lavish weddings that any question or scenario we thought of, they had already thought about it ten times and formulated a plan. Raul, our maître D, orchestrated the most amazing day. He kept everyone timely and organized, while making sure my husband and I had everything we could possibly need. He was so friendly, professional, and kind, and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. My husband and his groomsman, as well as myself and my bridesmaids were also given an attendant each, Ashley and Andrew. I could not put a price tag on how valuable both of them were throughout our day. Both of them took care of us and made us feel like royalty. Ashley was absolutely always there for everything I needed as well as Andrew for my husband. My guests could not stop RAVING about this venue. Thank you so much to everyone at the Grove who made our day the most amazing, unforgettable memory we'll ever have!

We had our wedding reception at The Grove in September of 2017 and we feel we could not have picked a better venue. The beauty and decor of the facility is absolutely breathtaking. We are still receiving "wows" on how magical the experience felt. We were even amazed by the kindness and professionalism that was shown throughout the experience. Andrew and team helped take care of every aspect of our wedding and we did not have to worry about a thing. We can not thank The Grove enough for making this a magical night for my family and I.

The best of the very best! AMAZING! I can't even begin to describe what a wonderful venue it is, and service that it provides. The best decision my husband and I made was choosing the Grove as our venue. We just had our wedding there, on September 1st, and it was better than what we had anticipated it to be. The team at the Grove is exceptional. They're welcoming , professional, and on top of everything . Raul , the one who was running our wedding, was very detailed, organized , and took care of everything. Ashley , the bride attendant, was a life saver. She was by my side the whole day, and made sure I had everything I needed. She would fix my hair for pictures, apply my lipstick, bring me water/drinks etc. etc. She helped me with everything on the wedding day and it was so comforting having her around. Jimmy and Jason made sure to answer every question and concern we had, and accommodate us in every single way possible. Not only the venue is GORGEOUS, not only the food is DELICIOUS, but the service they provide to the bride and groom and their guests is OUTSTANDING. Our guests were all mesmerized at the venue , food , drinks , and service. Also, they make sure to do all the worrying for you so that you can enjoy the night to the maximum. A big thank you to the Grove team, and I hope to return as a guest to this beautiful venue !

If i could give The Grove 100 stars I would. There are just not enough words to express how grateful we are for The Grove giving us the wedding of our dreams. It was more then we could have ever dreamed of. From the beginning, Andrew, our event coordinator at the grove, made our event seamless. He was very responsive to my MANY MANY emails & pointed us in the right direction when it came to food, decor, design, lighting, EVERYTHING! My bridal attendant Ashley was a gift from the heavens. She did everything for me without me having to ask for anything. She applied my lipstick for me when it started fading, she patted my back with damp towels after every dance, she had a drink ready for me whenever I even looked the slightest bit thirsty. I cannot thank either of them enough! The food deserves a review of its own because it blows every other venue out of the park! AHHMAZING! I have never had such good catering hall food and my life and we only ate at the reception! Our friends & family cannot stop talking about the cocktail hour!! The first thing I said to my husband the next morning was "When we have a child it's first birthday needs to be at The Grove"! Just because I am dying to go back there for another party!!

I wish you could give 10 stars ! We just got married on 6/29/17, and were absolutely amazing by the service The Grove provided to us. I had a bridal assistant named Ashley, who was amazing ! She went above and beyond to do things for me and my bridal party. She is truly talented at what she does. Our wedding coordinator was Andrew and he made sure everything was perfect the day of our wedding. He emailed me many times to make sure we had all the details done correctly. Everyone was so professional and they made sure every detail was done so that the day was perfect. The cocktail hour was out of this world and the dinner was hot and delicious ( most wedding dinners are not). I would hands down recommend this venue to anyone if you want the best !!

You cannot go wrong with The Grove! My husband and I had our wedding on April 14th, and the day was nothing short of magical. Everything from the décor, to the food, to the staff was top notch. Dan and Maggie were excellent in helping us plan our day. They were both quick to answer all of our questions and were able to make all of our special requests happen. George and Raul, our maître d’s, were outstanding. The both of them managed the entire day, making sure everything ran perfectly. They were always readily available for whatever we needed, whether it was to give us an update as guests were arriving, to making sure our drinks were always full, and that we had enough to eat. Now for my bridal attendant, Ashley. Ashley is amazing!!! From the moment I pulled up that morning, until I got onto the shuttle bus at the end of the night, Ashley was by my side taking care of all of my needs. She truly made me think, “this must be what it feels like to be a princess.” I never thought someone could have made such a difference in my day. Ashley helped me with my train, my bustle, my shoes, reapplying my lipstick throughout the night, and even fixing my hair if one hair got out of place. My bridesmaids and guests were in shock of how attentive and helpful Ashley was. She is invaluable and I truly thank her for being a part of our day.
Now the food. The food is AMAZING. Weeks after our wedding, people are still telling us how good the food was. The Grove offers tons of options, and their presentation of the food, both at the cocktail hour and during the reception, takes it to another level. I am hoping I can attend another wedding there one day so I could eat all of the food again!
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend The Grove. Choosing The Grove as our venue was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Thank you to The Grove for making our wedding absolutely perfect!

If I could more than 5 stars I would. We just got married on May 13th in the evening and The Grove staff led by Andrew was exceptional. They are impeccable, kind, and really understand how to make their guests happy. We had almost 600 person wedding none of our guests were left waiting for appetizers, ample bars, and the food was delicious. We were blessed w/ rainshowers but the Grove made sure none of us got wet and they have this beautiful historic landmark home built in 1774 that was a perfect place to take pictures. They only host one wedding a day and so your party is the only one on the premises which is personal and private. The word that summarizes what the Grove experience is just elegant. The quality is beyond words. On behalf of my husband George, and I, we want to thank the Grove for truly making our night special and we have been blessed through this experience to meet wonderful people along the way and The Grove staff is among them. We wish you the best of luck and hope our wedding will bring more Indian weddings to you!!

Wonderful, Extraordinary, are some words to describe The Grove. I had my Dream Wedding at The Grove this past weekend 4/21/17, my husband and I are so happy with everything. I first went to look at The Grove in January 2016 and as soon as I walked in I knew I wanted my wedding there. When I was choosing a wedding venue, I was looking for three things, tall ceilings, one wedding at a time and a big cocktail room so that my guests didn’t feel cramped. The Grove met all three of these things and more.
It was such a pleasure to work with Andrew. I emailed him MANY times before my wedding asking all different kinds of questions. He answered all of my questions quickly and with such professionalism. That was such a great help since I was such a nervous bride and I wanted everything to be perfect.
The day of my wedding went flawlessly! The service was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Ashley my bridal attendant was always with me, she got me anything and everything. She put my lipstick on me for photos, she touched up my hair, brought me a new drink before I finished the one I had, she bustled my gown, she even undid my gown and re-tied it so that it wasn’t so tight. All of the attendants were great though, they had their walkie talkes to let each other know where my husband and I were at different times of the night. They were always bringing us things and letting us know about different things. My guests just cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue is and the service they received.
I am beyond happy with my experience working with The Grove. I would definitely recommend this venue. Now I hope that one of my friends gets married here so that I can experience the night all over again from a guests point of view!

For anyone planning an upcoming wedding, we understand the pressure and anxiety that builds until that fateful day. We also had friends and family warn us of such stress. However, much of that weight was avoided because we decided to work with The Grove. When we met Jason Shukovsky, we knew our search was complete. He immediately eased all the tensions that comes with the territory. I am a huge planner and felt that Jason was detail oriented and able to address every concern and desire for the big day. He got back to us promptly with all requests. Even the night before the wedding at the rehearsal, I broke a nail and my fiance called Jason immediately. Jason was able to get a manicurist to come to The Grove in the AM and fix the broken nail. It was amazing! He recommended top professionals who went above and beyond with regards to music and floral arrangements; he patiently guided us through menu selection, seating arrangements, etc.; and he selected a staff who were competent and supportive. Raul (the professional who seamlessly ran a 7+ hour affair), Ashley (the bridal attendant who assisted with every need of the bride and bridal party but also making sure the bride’s outfit and makeup was always perfect) and Brandon (the groom's go-to captain who kept 10 groomsmen and a handful of family members loose with libations and full with food) are integral parts of Jason's team.
The aesthetic details will automatically set The Grove far apart from its competitors; especially since there are so few who can accommodate a larger party. We hosted an Indian wedding that required a location that could comfortably host 370+ guests. Everyone complimented us on the spacious and luxurious area that makes this special day memorable for the couple and all who attend. The day ran so smoothly and we were able to enjoy the day and not have to worry about any details. Additionally the food is out of this world.

Everything about this place is pure magic. I was married here about a year ago and have been reminiscing about how wonderful our day was, but it wouldn't have been half as spectacular without The Grove. I worked with Dan and he was always available to talk with me and he and the team went above and beyond to make everything work within our budget without having us cut any corners whatsoever. On the day of, Maggie (bride's Maître d) was there to make sure I was happy and looking perfect. She steamed my gown (as well as all of my bridesmaids gowns), was ready with a glass of water (or champagne!) for me during picture taking and kept tabs on literally every single detail. if I start talking about the food, this review will go from a paragraph to 10 pages long. Just know that its AMAZING and A WHOLE LOT. The Grove made everything so easy and so beautiful and I wish I could get married again just to be able to do this all over again there. If The Grove is on your short list, YES it's worth it. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend

You cannot go wrong with The Grove. Me and my husband knew the minute we walked in that this was where we wanted to get married. Our wedding day was executed flawlessly. From the minute we booked with Michael, to the second we left when our wedding was over, we were told not to worry about anything. Being a perfectionist and control freak, it's hard to not worry- but this place is true to their word. They took care of everything. My bridal attendant, Ashley, was a rock star and I've never felt more special than I did that day. Raul and the rest of his team were amazing and we loved the small touches and details that the venue did to make our day unique and really wow our guests (and us)! Everything was so impressive, we were truly blown away by the food, the service, and The Grove experience. I could write a novel gushing over how happy we were, but just know that if you choose this venue, you are absolutely in great hands!

The moment we stepped into The Grove and met it’s staff something special stood out for us and we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding day. And we did on September 2, 2016 and it was perfect. From their grand foyer, awe-striking chandeliers and their impeccable staff The Grove truly delivers an exceptional experience for the Bride& Groom, their families and guests. It was a joy to work with Jason, Raul and Ashley (girl, you are awesome!) their professionalism and organization allowed my husband and I to just enjoy our day and night on the dance floor. As a bride & guest of The Grove I can say it has always been a pleasure. Thank you all for an amazing time and such fond memories!

My husband, John, and I could not be happier with our choice of The Grove as our wedding reception venue. From our first meeting with Andrew to our exit as our wedding night ended, we always felt that the staff at The Grove truly cares about their patrons. There are no words to describe how attentive, timely, and caring the staff at The Grove are. Everyone made our wedding a dream come true. We sincerely could not have asked for anything more. A special thank you to my bridal assistant, Ashley, who was at my side with anything I needed before I could even ask, and also to Raul. All of our guests could not believe how attentive, courteous, and timely all of the staff was, in addition to how good all of the food from the cocktail hour to dinner to the Viennese hour was. I would recommend The Grove to anyone looking to get married as it truly is the best wedding venue I have been to in NJ!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Grove in early December 2016. We had initially booked another venue that fell through due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict. The Grove provided us with unparalleled service during this otherwise stressful time and we are so grateful. The guests loved the food and the personal atmosphere that came with having only one event at a time. Michael, Raul and Maggie were instrumental in assuring that our wedding day transpired flawlessly. We would highly recommend the Grove to anyone looking for a personalized, detailed, and professional event!

My husband and I had our fairytale wedding at the Grove on November 19, 2016. From the moment we walked into the venue, we were blown away. Andrew and his staff treated us like royalty and were there to accommodate our needs throughout the planning process. We had never been to an event at the Grove prior to booking our wedding and we had no idea what we would be in for. Based on the reviews, the meetings we had at the Grove with Andrew and George, correspondence with Christina, and comments from our vendors about how amazing the service was, we knew we would be in good hands. Little did we know, our wedding night would surpass all of our highest expectations. It’s been almost three weeks and we are still over the moon thinking about our wedding. Leading up to the big day we had so many people tell us we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our own wedding and that it was everyone else’s party. This is certainly not the case when you get married at The Grove. Raul, George, and the rest of the staff made sure we enjoyed every moment of the night.
I can’t put into words how wonderful my bridal attendant, Ashley, was. When we arrived at the Grove, Ashley was there immediately to carry my train, hold my flowers, touch up my makeup, spray my hair, etc. After pictures she brought me upstairs to bustle my dress. She was there with me every step of the way throughout the course of the night and made sure I had everything I needed, without hovering over me. Our guests noticed her amazing job as well and are still asking me if I hired her and where I found her – to which my reply is, “she came with the venue, awesome right?!”.
Thank you to Andrew, Raul, George, Ashley, Christina and the rest of the team at The Grove for making our fairytale come true. The service and food were top notch and I would highly recommend this venue. My only complaint is that we don’t know anyone getting married at The Grove in the near future. We can’t wait to come back here for an event!

My husband and I held our wedding at the grove on 10.22.16. There are not enough amazing things I could say about this place. From the first day we went to look at this venue, Christina Baruch made sure that our day was going to be nothing short of spectacular. She worked with us to make sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. I had a new question/concern to throw at her every day for an entire year and never did she get annoyed by me, always very helpful and sweet. The day of our wedding was absolutely gorgeous. My bridal attendant, Amanda Roman was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. She Was at my beck and call from moment I got there, until the moment I left. She took everything under her wing and made me feel like an absolute princess. I have never felt such trust for someone right off the bat like I did for amanda, she was an absolute blessing on our wedding day. The food was unbelievable. People are still texting my husband and I letting us know that our cocktail hour was the best they ever had. This venue is the most elegant, breathtaking, phenomenal establishment I have ever seen and we feel so lucky to have been able to have our reception here. Thank you to everyone at the grove for the perfect wedding- and especially Christina & Amanda for making the day memorable!

SPECTACULAR! The Grove is EXCEPTIONAL! A complete first class wedding venue. Our wedding was simply magical. We are so thankful we chose The Grove and cannot recommend it highly enough.
The venue itself is beyond beautiful, the food is AMAZING, but it is the Grove’s extraordinary management and staff’s genuine desire to host the best wedding for you that really sets this venue apart. From the first phone call to our final run through meeting, my now husband and I were always made to feel so special. After planning this wedding, both my husband and I (along with our families) feel like a part of the Grove family.
The Grove’s attention to detail is beyond compare. I cannot tell you how comforting it was to know that my part of the wedding planning ended upon entry into The Grove on the morning of the wedding. I knew wholeheartedly that every single last detail would be executed exactly as I had set out. The Grove had time and time again earned my complete trust and I, a very particular/Type A bride, was able to relax and fully enjoy our big day! Whether it was the bridal attendant tapping me and literally applying more lipstick when needed or the maître d giving five minute heads-up to our parents, best man, maid of honor regarding their speeches, the attention to detail was beyond compare! Our guests are still commenting on the beauty of the venue and the attentiveness of the staff.
Thank you Jimmy, Jason, Michael, Raoul, Maggie, Carla and everyone at the Grove! We had the best time and hope to celebrate with you all again soon!

My husband and I had our dream wedding on 9/9/16 at The Grove. I am not even sure where to start with this review because we have so many AMAZING things to say. Dan was our sales person and from the start he worked with us on ensuring we would pick the grove for our wedding venue. Of course after meeting twice we signed and we were so excited! From the moment we stepped into The Grove we knew that would be our wedding venue! Throughout the process everyone at the grove was with us every step of the way, it was really such an easy process, everything! And when you are going crazy wedding planning there is nothing like coming to your wedding venue and being able to relax! Now as if all that didn’t make us love the grove already, our wedding day came and WOW! We truly don’t have one bad thing to say, I mean our guests are still talking about how AMAZING the service and food was. Raul and Maggie were beyond great with us I mean literally on top of us from the moment we got there that day ensuring everything went as planned. They made sure we ate, drank and partied without a care and honestly it felt so good. I can honestly say because of their help, my husband and I enjoyed every moment of our wedding. Our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing our wedding was but also at the amazing service they received at every moment which is exactly what we ever wanted. We truly had our dream wedding and having it at The Grove just made it more magical. The Grove truly exceeded all our expectations for our wedding day!!

We got married at The Grove on August 13th. The Grove gave us the best wedding we could have wished for. The food and service were the highlights, which was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. The reviews about food and service are not exaggerated.
All their staff was unbelievable! Jason was very knowledgeable and gave us wonderful recommendations. Christina was so responsive and easy to work with. Amanda, my bridal attendant, is THE BEST. She is a life saver. The groom and all the bridal party loved Raul as well!!!
Everyone is raving about the wedding.
THANK YOU to THE GROVE!!!

We had our daughter's wedding at The Grove on July 30 and I'm still in awe at the perfection of the day! The magnificence of The Grove can be seen on their website. The entry hall with staircase is sweeping and beautiful. The cocktail room and ballroom are right out of a fairytale.
The food was amazing and as good as any fine restaurant. The cocktail hour was a showstopper! Everyone loved the "Tequila Luge", the "Comfort Food" station and the "Slider and Float" station. The main dishes of Arctic Char and Filet Mignon were delicious and beautifully plated. Everyone raved about the "Passed Viennese desserts".
While venue beauty and food are, of course, hugely important, the success of an event are the people who "make it happen". I can't say enough about Dan Goldblatt, who, from the beginning assured us not to worry...we were going to get "The Grove Experience". He was never too busy to help us and always responded promptly.
Ashley, the bridal attendant was waiting for us when we arrived in the morning and stayed near my daughter the entire day and night. She was amazing and took care of everything bride related. She was there helping with things before we even realized we needed help.
Last, but not least, was Raul, our incomparable Maitre'd. He was everywhere and orchestrated everything! We never had to worry about a thing! He took care of it all. He was always there to ask if we needed anything and the day ran beautifully and (as far as we could see) seamlessly. Thanks to The Grove for the most beautiful "Experience"!

My now-husband and I just got married at The Grove in July. Let's just say that we would do anything to get to do it all over again! The Grove exceeded every expectation and made sure that our day was perfect. From the moment we arrived in the morning (and they let all the ladies come early to begin primping!), we were treated like royalty. Ashley, the bridal attendant, was present and willing to help with anything needed. She was available the entire day refreshing our drinks, making sure we were well-fed, and even giving us cold towels to wipe down throughout all the dancing! (Not to mention wiping me down herself and spraying my hair!) She was invaluable. People continued to tell me how my hair and makeup looked great --that was all due to Ashley!! The food during every part of the event was top-notch, with guests raving weeks after! Raoul made sure everything ran smoothly, and his upbeat and get-it-done demeanor made me, my husband, and our families completely comfortable. I could continue to list the positives, but will suffice it to say that every detail was perfect and every Grove employee a pleasure. This, of course, began with Dan who worked with us starting a year before the wedding to be sure all plans were secure and that we would have the wedding of our dreams. Thank you thank you thank you to all at The Grove!!!! We are already thinking of events to plan that will bring us back ;)

**AMAZING**
My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at The Grove. We wish to thank Raul for making our wedding experience a spectacular success. His attention to detail in concert with Maggie, my bridal attendant and Executive Chef Anthony allowed us to be at ease and enjoy celebrating with our families and friends. The delicious international cuisine surpassed all of our expectations. Presentation was artistic and plentiful. The Grove staff was professional and responsive to the needs of our guests. We commend Raul for his exceptional organizational skills. His genuine expression of hospitality in making our wedding day pure perfection.
Janessa and Steven

My husband and I are amazed at the incredible attention to detail at The Grove, from the custom lighting in the ballrooms, white glove service, abundance of freshly made food, and courteous staff. A special thanks to Dan, Raul, and Maggie for their unbelievable attentiveness. Anything we asked for was quickly taken care of. Even the reserved seats for the bride and grooms parents added an elegance to the overall experience for them as well. Right from the beginning when guests arrived they were greeted with the signature drink we chose. They were then led into the amazing cocktail hour with spectacular ambiance and lighting. We were impressed by the patron tequila ice sculpture station set up towards the center of the room, complete with food that was elegantly prepared. Cocktail hour was even extended due to harsh weather for guests that arrived late. You are treated like royalty and only ONE wedding is held at a time to avoid confusion. The main ballroom was impressive and selectively well lit with spot lighting on the centerpieces and the chandeliers were breathtaking. We got to choose from any color of the rainbow for our uplighting and as the music played, the columns and ceiling flashes to the beat quickly changing color. All I can say is save room for dessert! The Viennese hour was an additional ballroom separated by a motorized partition wall that was opened after our guests were led onto the dance floor and told to turn around to an additional room that seemed to come out of thin air. My husband and I were shown all the stations individually behind the wall and the smell of the freshly made waffles emanated, the chocolate fountain was right in the middle where guests can coat different fruits in chocolate. They even had champagne bottles and small fireworks that resembled giant sparklers as the wall panels were drawn and the room doubled in size! In summation I wish I could've been a guest at my own wedding! Absolutely Loved it from start to finish!

There are no words big enough to thank The Grove for the most amazing wedding two weeks ago! The entire day was everything we could have ever imagined and it was all because of the amazing team at The Grove! Jason- thank you so much for all your help through out the process. From the moment we met you, we knew The Grove was the place of us. Thank you for all your advice on the food selections and keeping the night running smoothly! The moment I arrived that morning to get ready I felt so cared for!Ashely was the most amazing bridal attendant I have ever seen. She was there for me the entire day but never was in the way. It was like every moment I thought I might need something, she was there with the exact thing I needed. She set up breakfast for us the morning as we got ready. There are no words big enough to thank everything Raul also did for our wedding and throughout the day into the night. He was complimented by our entire family as someone who provided outstanding service! Raul must have heard me mention I was feeling a little hungry as we arrived back to The Grove from pictures and out of no where he came with a plate of cheese and snacks for me to enjoy as we touched up my makeup! He was with us until the last shuttle left ensuring that every guest was cared for and enjoyed their night! There are no thank yous big enough! Christina- thank you for putting up with all my questions and freak outs the weeks before the wedding! You always answered right away and had all the answers! Thank you for your help as we organized the tables and got the menu together! You were a joy to work with and made the weeks before the wedding less stressful! As we write the review it has to be stated one more time that the service at The Grove was some of the best and guests are still commenting that it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

The Grove was phenomenal. We worked with Dan to plan the whole event and he was extremely patient, friendly, and accommodating. Amanda was my bridal attendant and she helped me with every step of the day. They really give you a fairy tale wedding--gorgeous venue and outdoor grounds, personalized attention, large bridal suites, high quality food (and tons of it!), and make sure the entire event goes off without a hitch. All of our guests were raving about the food and the venue. I really wish I could have been a guest at my own wedding :-( Just know that you are going to be paying top dollar for this top notch service. It's only for those with a very large budget, but if you have the budget it's well worth it!

There are so many adjectives that I can think of to describe my wedding that took place on June 11, 2016. Outstanding, Amazing, Remarkable, Incredible, Mind-Blowing, among any other word you can replace for those. Jason Shukovsky and his team were better than anything I could have dreamed. They listened to my idea once, and executed it better than anything I could have imagined. Days later, people are still raving about the food, the atmosphere, the energy, the attendants, the service, the cocktail hour, the ENTIRE PARTY! Everyone invited is saying how they never ate a piece of food that was bad, everything was better than the next, no dirty dishes were ever left on the table, the service was beyond anything they could have imagined. The best compliment we could have ever received is someone who already booked a party somewhere else, is CHANGING THEIR VENUE TO THE GROVE AFTER OUR WEDDING! That says it all! It was truly the best night of our lives.

My husband and I have been married for almost a year now. Our experience at The Grove was absolutely amazing. With all the details and extra planning surrounding our final days to the wedding, they really helped make it as seamless as possible. And with all the craziness happening during the day of, Raoul even made sure that my husband and I got to eat. The food was so delicious and ambiance with all our friends and family surrounding us was just magnificent. It is not a day my husband and I will never forget. And are friends and family are still talking about their wonderful time there. We would like to say THANK YOU to all the staff who made our wedding so memorable.

The Grove truly made our wedding the most memorable & extraordinary experience. Dan went above & beyond to make our day PERFECT - it was all we wanted & more, making sure everything we needed & requested was in place. The ambiance & feeling when you walk through the doors of this venue are one which you can’t describe unless you see it in person & it was the EASIEST process. We knew there was no other venue we wanted to see after The Grove. Raul & his staff were just the most pleasant and hospitable people to work with ensuring the whole night went smooth without a glitch - they were so attentive making sure every detail was perfect & that every single guest had plates filled of food & drinks filled the entire night. We completely felt like it was a dream as the staff worked so cohesively to make sure everything we planned was in place & perfect. Amanda, our bridal attendant stayed by my side the entire night ensuring we tried every item at our cocktail hour & assisted me with every single thing from morning until the night ended, our drinks were never empty - not even once! She assisted me with my dress, helped reapply make-up & everything in between - we loved her & don't know what we would've done without her. Thank you Amanda, your the sweetest and most patient person & I will never forget all you did for me! The food was spectacular. Our guests were raving about everything! All of our guests have said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we could not have chosen a better venue to host the most special and important day of our lives. We were able to enjoy every second of our wedding and had the time of life without a worry about anything. We cannot express how grateful and thankful we are for The Grove for everything they did making your wedding day PERFECT in every way, the most beautiful exquisite place we have ever seen. We wish we could re-live our wedding day over & over and hope to be guests at a Grove Wedding

It’s so hard to capture the experience my husband and I had through written words. Having our wedding at the Grove left us with an undoubting feeling of fulfillment and happiness. On March 18, 2016 every moment was executed to perfection! From day one, Michael put my mind at ease by promising an unforgettable event. They exceeded every expectation to something I couldn’t have envisioned for myself.
Never would I have expected to meet someone with more inspiration for our wedding than me. Raul took my tiny ideas and created unforgettable memories. Throughout the night he stepped in to guide us- taking good moments and making them great! Adding anticipation to the ceremony by the line up and cute poses for cake cutting. Still managing time to give my dad some milk ”to go” with desserts. I owe the “WOW“ factor to him! The bridal attendant Amanda was always near but never intrusive. Only stepping in when she felt I could use help. The perfect mix of professional and friendly. She had such a calming demeanor that it made me calm when she was around. She climbed through the dirt, caught 2nd hand smoke and had alcohol ready when we were jittery (all with a genuine smile).
Every staff member at the grove is a step above. That’s why my review is aimed mostly towards them. You can see from the photos this place is breathtakingly beautiful. The food is as delicious as the photos capture as well. It’s impossible to grasp how well you will be treated unless you experience it first hand. I hope to be a guest here in the near future ☺

Jason and his entire team are the very best at what they do. They are professional, attentive, courteous and can adapt and respond to any situation that may arise during your event. Our wedding was spectacular and went off without a single hiccup. We cannot thank The Grove for how special we were treated throughout the planning process as well as the day of!

I fell in love with The Grove the first time I saw it and we knew after meeting with Dan, our event planner, that he was going to make our dream wedding come true. Dan was there every step of the way always willing to answer questions and meet with us, whenever I needed. He guided us every step of the way and we truly appreciated it. You can see Dan truly loves what he does. This venue is beautiful. I love that the cocktail hour room is very different from the ballroom with its old world elegance and romantic lighting. The ballroom is breathtaking and the chandeliers are incredible! The bridal suites are insane! And even the bathrooms are gorgeous!
Another amazing person is Raul. From the first day we met him we knew we could put our faith and trust in him that everything would go smooth that day. His attention to detail is outstanding. He took the time to explain every little thing and guided us through the whole evening of our wedding. Raul is a person with a true passion for what he does. He was always right there to push in my chair or ask how we were doing with a huge smile. I had told him when we met that we wanted to enjoy all of cocktail hour, eat dinner, dance, and eat dessert and he made sure we did all of that and more. Everything was so perfect!
Maggie was my bridal attendant. She was there for everything I needed all through the night. My veil had gotten caught on the belt on my wedding dress and ripped it a little. Maggie sewed it back on for me and it looked totally fine. She helped me carry my train all during photos and then helped do my bustle with my matron of honor. She got us drinks and food while doing photos before we went to cocktail hour. She was with me all night to make sure I was ok. She really took care of me and I appreciated it so much!
Its people like Maggie, Raul, and Dan that really make weddings personal, beautiful, and an amazing time. They helped create a day I will never forget! Thank you!

My husband and I were immediately taken aback by how visually beautiful The Grove is both inside and out. The rooms were elegant and spacious. The entire venue was clean and well maintained. Our point person, Daniel was a joy to work with. He made all of the overwhelming details seem more than manageable and any vision we had for the wedding he helped capture. On the day of the wedding, the attendants who were assisting both my husband and I were phenomenal! Minor details such as room temperature or timing were taken care of by them with a smile. I was worried about practicing for the ceremony and the timing of that prior to the guests arrival and they ensured that everything went smoothly. They kept us on track by encouraging us into the next phase of the wedding without guests noticing any hiccups. From the words "Let us know when you are ready" before opening the doors to the ceremony space to meet my father to let us get you both "anything you want from cocktail hour" their service was more than 5 stars. Our guests can't stop talking about the food especially at cocktail hour. It was impeccable and the butler style service raised the bar. Our guests comments included "this is the best food at a wedding I have ever had" and "Dude, I had 6 lobster tails...6." At our reception, my husband and I were treated like royalty. Every time we got up or had to do something related to the wedding our Grove team was right behind us. Our guests exclaimed that the services was "first class" as the staff provided white glove service to our guests. Anytime anyone got up from their seat, upon their return their napkins were folded as if they had just arrived. My husband and I had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at The Grove on a Sunday afternoon. The service was as if we were attending a Saturday night black tie event. Thank you @The Grove for making our wedding day the most important and memorable day of our lives.

I can't even put into words how magical our 10/30/15 wedding was with the Grove. Everything was flawless and not one detail was over looked! I was in tears when I saw the ballroom for the first time prior to the guests entering. From the moment we met with Michael we knew this was where we would have our wedding reception. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!! From the cocktail hour to the champagne presentation to the main course to the Venetian hour everything was picture perfect. I wish I could give them 1000 stars!
Thank you to Raul he was such a pleasure to work with. You can truly see he has a passion for what he does. I can honestly say I didn't have to worry about a thing knowing he was there.
A huge thank you to Yuliana (bridal attendant) as well! She was like an angel! Always by my side, helping and guiding me through out the day.
Thank you times a million to The Grove and your incredible staff, you have made the best day of our lives even that much more special!
Love always
The new Mr. & Mrs. D'Agostino

We just had our wedding at The Grove and it was absolutely amazing! Raul is by far the best person you could ever have to run a huge event of 250 Hispanic people! I have Zero complaints and it was the perfect day. Ashley the bridal attendant was also amazingly helpful. I was stress free my entire wedding day. The Grove is absolutely stunning and the service and food is amazing!!

The Grove is an absolutely beautiful and stunning venue and a dream come true! From the moment my husband and I walked into The Grove, we knew this was the perfect venue! After my first meeting with the staff at The Grove, I knew I was in great hands! The detail of the staff and their involvement with us every step of the way leading up to our big day and more importantly on the big day, was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent and the food was fabulous! Everything was PERFECT and exactly how I imagined my wedding day! Every time my husband and I see our guests, they always bring up our wedding! My day was truly amazing and a memory that will last a lifetime thanks to everyone at The Grove, especially Jason, Raul, Christina, and Amanda! Everyone of our guests, photographers, videographers, band and dj had a blast! Everyone at The Grove was wonderful to work with and our wedding was a dream come true!

We just had our wedding at The Grove and it could not have been better. Jason was great to work with from start to finish. The service was A+ (all the little details they do are incredible), the food was really good, and the venue is very upscale. There were many great places to take pictures beforehand. The getting ready rooms for the guys and the girls were very spacious. The ceremony room was nice, as was the environment people are welcomed into. Everyone raved about cocktail hour with the insane amount of food they have, and the food was really good. The reception was great as well with service, food, etc. I hope to one day go to a wedding at The Grove as a guest since I barely had time to eat myself, but I'm so happy I had my wedding there.

My husband and I got married at The Grove over labor day weekend. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the people who work there and the gorgeous venue. When we walked into the Grove for the very first time we instantly knew this was the only place we wanted to get married. Our catering manager, Carole, was fantastic! She appreciated every single detail, no matter how big or small. Everyone at the Grove, including Jason and Michael were always there and available to help. My bridal attendant, Ashley, was far beyond what I expected. She was always there to assist and knew exactly what I needed before I said anything.
Now for the man of the hour – Raul. Raul is a master and has weddings down to a T. Our decorator forgot to bring flowers for our cake and within minutes Raul found flowers and decorated our cake so beautifully. He was attentive to every detail and we really can’t imagine our day without him!
The vienesse hour was the highlight of our wedding! Think of any type of dessert - it was there. Deciding to include this was one of the smartest decisions we made!

To say The Grove is amazing is an understatement! My husband and I got married on September 5, 2015 and thanks to everyone at The Grove, we had our fairy tale wedding. We worked with Jason Shukovsky, who was absolutely incredible! We met with Jason multiple times and he did everything he could to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. I am a huge control freak so it was hard at first to let my guard down and trust someone else to run my wedding, but Jason and his team were simply the greatest. We did not have a wedding planner or an assistant or anyone other than my mom and I planning the wedding. Jason and Raul Ruiz, our Matiere D', were essentially our wedding planners and they ran the show like serious professionals. We had our ceremony outside and believe it or not, we were able to fit about 240 people out there! Raul ran the ceremony like a true boss and if it wasn’t for him no one would have known what to do. He lined us up, told us when to go, told us where to stop and go for pictures, he literally ran the entire show! The service is also literally to die for!!! My bridal attendant, Amanda, who was with me from 10:00AM until until 1:00AM was AMAZING!!!!! She literally did EVERYTHING for me. From helping put my dress on to coming outside for pictures to hold my flowers, or my train, or fix my dress, she was literally my best friend that day! And Henry, the attendant for my husband and his groomsmen, was not only taking care of the groomsmen but he was taking care of me too! During the reception, all of our guests were ranting and raving how great the service was and how their drinks were never empty. Everyone was literally stunned by how delicious all the food was! Cocktail hour was literally to die for and the selection of food was amazing! Cocktail hour was a huge hit as was the Viennese Dessert Hour. The food was literally amazing and no one left hungry! Thank you to everyone at The Grove for making our wedding such an amazing wedding!

It has been almost two weeks and my family and I are still receiving phone calls telling us that The Grove put on the BEST wedding ever! My wedding day was absolutely perfect. I could not have dreamed of a more spectacular way to marry my best friend. From the beginning to the end of the wedding process, everyone at The Grove went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel comfortable and cared for. The food was outstanding!! Every single guest raved about our cocktail hour, dinner, and Venetian. The displays were beautifully put together and cooked to perfection. I cannot say enough about the quality and abundance of food served on my special day! It exceeded our expectations, and when you come from a family of wonderful cooks and foodies like mine, that is saying a lot! Not only was the food delicious, but the staff was absolutely incredible. Maggie, my bridal attendant, was like having super woman by your side at all times! When my clasp broke in the back of my dress, she sewed me into it. When my curls were falling from the heat, she re-curled and styled it. When she could tell my husband and I were hungry, she made sure we had five minutes alone before cocktail hour to eat. She did everything with a smile on her face and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was there for whatever I needed. She makes her job look easy!Raul our Maître ‘D was wonderful! He made sure everything ran smoothly, guided us to where we needed to be, and made sure all of our guests felt personally taken care of. He has an amazing personality, made sure my husband and I wanted for nothing from beginning to end, and truly fulfilled all of our expectations and more. Finally, Dan, who helped us pick every aspect of the night and made sure everything on that day was to my liking, we can’t say enough kind words. He really helped guide us with choices, but never made us feel pressured. He was knowledgeable and supportive from the moment we booked this venue.

My husband and I had our wedding at The Grove on July 12th and both the venue and the staff exceeded our expectations in every way! We originally booked our wedding with Alyssa Polansky in 2013 and you could imagine our concern when we found out that she decided to pursue other career ventures. However, when Jason reached out to us to inform us that he would be taking over, we were immediately put at ease. He was so friendly, accommodating, and genuinely concerned with our happiness; this was evident at each of our meetings. When we got closer to our big day, we met Raul, who made sure every little detail was the exact way we wanted it. He was also attentive and willing to go above and beyond for both us and our guests. My bridal attendant, Amanda, was amazing!! She greeted us as soon as we arrived, giving my MOH a break from chasing my veil around! She also stayed with me to help throughout pictures, brought up samples of everything from the cocktail hour for us to try before we went down to greet our guests, and was always nearby throughout the night for anything and everything we needed. Our guests are still raving about the display, amount, and quality of the food, as well as the modern beauty of the venue. We have gone to many wedding venues, and The Grove is in a category of its own. We loved that our wedding was the first time that most of our guests visited The Grove because it added to this unique experience. The entire day and night was a dream come true and I cannot say enough good things about this venue and all of the staff members!

We had our wedding at the Grove in May 2015 and wow, we don’t even know where to start. When we walked into the Grove we knew that it was the place for us.It is immaculate filled with chandeliers, high ceilings, balconies, gold railings, decorations, and modern lighting. The bathrooms and bridal suites are nicer than any of the nicest hotels. We had the pleasure of working with Michael to help coordinate our wedding. He is so wonderful, kind, and accommodating. The staff and service was better than any place we have ever worked with. On our wedding day we were given our own bridal attendant who was so fantastic. Raul was our maitre d for the event and we owe our life to him. Him and his entire staff were so hardworking and made sure everything happened exactly how we wanted it. Our ceremony was gorgeous and in the room with the balconies. As soon as everyone walked into the cocktail hour they were in awe. The room was filled with chefs and different stations of sushi, fish, raw bar, steaks, lamb, turkey, pastas, Italian stations that looked like they were in Italy, Mexican tequila and guac, and signature cocktails. The food was the most delicious food we had ever tasted. The ballroom for the reception is gorgeous and spacious and contains a long spiral stair case. All of the lighting and sound is done with advanced modern technology. After dinner the Viennese dessert table and dessert stations were opened and it was just as spectacular as the cocktail hour. The grove surprised us by opening the doors to the room with us in front of the table and sparklers going off. It was mesmerizing. We have not stopped getting calls from our guests (including people involved in the NYC area wedding business) saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and the most amazing venue. We hope that everyone chooses the Grove so they can have the wedding of their dreams as we did. We pray to go back and experience the Grove again. Anna and Nathan

I had my wedding at The Grove last month and I couldn't be happier. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. My guests won't stop talking about the cocktail hour, food, service, and ballroom. I was lucky enough to work with Christina who stayed in consant communication with me and helped me throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always available to talk and so quick to answer my calls and emails. The Grove truly made my wedding day a dream!

Starting with Christina .... ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !!!! We had our wedding on March 20th of 2015. Christina was amazing thoughout the ENTIRE wedding planning process. She was extremely attentive . Christina went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Although she took over from a previous event coordinator, she had absolutely no problem making us feel more than just comfortable with our venue choice. As for the day of , we couldn't have asked for anything better . Amanda was EXCELLENT ! I couldn't believe how amazing she treated my husband and I . From prior to the ceremony Amanda and Nicole were attentive to all of our needs and made sure our families were well taken care of. As for Raul and his staff ... Words cannot describe how extremely well done our reception was . Our guests were amazed with the service . Our guests raved about the entire wedding, from the amazing cocktail hour, to the service, right to when the favors were given at the end of the night . I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom searching for a magical atmosphere and professional staff. My words could never do this venue and their amazing staff any justice!

Every single thing about The Grove is amazing!! The moment my now husband and I walked in, we knew that we wanted to have our wedding there. Jimmy and the rest of his staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional. They made the entire experience, from planning up until the wedding, fun and easy. Raul and the women that worked with us the day of the wedding were amazing. They made sure that me, my husband, and every single guest were eating, drinking, and having a great time. Raul took such great care of me and my husband the day of the wedding and the days leading up to it. Every question I had was answered quickly and every little detail that I missed was taken care of before I even knew I missed something! Raul was certainly a huge part in the success of our day. There are not enough words to express how delicious all of the food was. Every single thing at the cocktail hour was outstanding. The stations that we had were fun and unique. The food was incredible and there was something for everyone! Dinner was also delicious and the service was second to none! One word to describe the Viennese table...OUTSTANDING!! Any dessert you could imagine was available and delicious. The presentation of everything was also impeccable. Cocktails were flowing all night long! The bartenders helped keep the party going because they were so efficient. They served our signature cocktails all night long and served dessert cocktails that were outstanding! The facility, both inside and outside, is absolutely stunning. It is the perfect place to take incredible pictures!
I highly recommend The Grove to anyone who is looking to have an amazing experience throughout their entire wedding planning process. My husband and I wanted our guests to experience an unforgettable party and every single person at The Grove helped us do that. We wanted to have a reception that was unique, something unlike every other wedding we've been too. The Grove helped us do that!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Grove in May, 2015. It was the most magical and perfect day because of every element The Grove provides. It was very important to us to find a place that not only had great photo opportunities outside, and inside. It was also very important to us not only have excellent food (that’s really what guests remember), but to also have the absolute best service and hospitality. Looking at their website will give you a good idea of what the place looks like, but it does not compare to actually going to visit the venue. I got chills when I first went there. Everything is absolutely breathtaking, most beautiful, elegant, modern, and classy place we’ve ever seen. The staff treated us like they were family who genuinely cared about every detail and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and our day was perfect. Not only did they make sure things were done and done correctly, they also added their own little touch to make it even more special. I asked to have our unity candle displayed on the piano for our guests to see. Not only was this done, but they added a mirror on the bottom to enhance the flame, brilliant! Every time we stepped off the dance floor we were handed a cool, wet cloth for the back of our necks or for my husband’s face, never would have thought to have something like that but it was so nice to have to help cool down. I had a couple issues with my gown and no matter what I needed our Bridal Attendant had it in her pocket. Our Bridal Attendant was Amanda and she was like an angel with all the answers! She was by my side the whole time, held my bouquet and fixed my dress during all the photos, sewed one of the bridesmaids dresses, and simply went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of, I was happy, and everything was perfect. I felt like she was a sister and could rely on her to do anything for us. Plus, she was an absolute sweetheart!! Raul was our Maitre D, he became our best f

On April 11th we celebrated our daughters wedding at The Grove. Words cannot describe how perfect every moment of the day was. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated like royalty. The staff went above and beyond and then some to cater to our every whim. No request was too big or too small. It was truly like being in a dream. We were able to enjoy every minute of the day because of the extreme professionalism of the staff and the pride they take in their work. It's been three weeks and we are still getting calls from our guests raving about everything from the food and the staff and the overall spectacular venue that The Grove is. I cannot recommend them more highly.

I knew the minute I walked into the Grove that I would have the party of a lifetime there. I was immediately on cloud nine as Jason gave me the grand tour. We got married on February 20th, 2015. I can honestly say it was the best day of my life.
The venue is incredible. From the ballroom to the bridal suites to the bathrooms... every single detail is stunning... The bridal party was there all day getting ready. Me in my bridal suite with the ladies & my soon to be groom in his suite with his friends. Mimosas were flowing all day & we were able to get ready completely stress-free. Saying they have great service would be an understatement. Jason, Amanda, Raul, Rich - the ideal team of people who actually care about making your day as perfect as possible. Amanda was a doll – fixing my dress & holding my flowers - at my side the entire time, catering to my every need, even the things I didn’t think I would need! She was so attentive to not only me but my entire bridal party.
My guests can't stop talking about cocktail hour. They loved it… saying that they have never seen such a fun variety of foods put together. A lot of our guests specifically mentioned how nice it was to have such attentive servers during the reception. There were even some servers whose only responsibility was to serve wine. For dessert, we chose to go with the sampler plate which includes 4 desserts of your choice on one plate for each guest. We also had passed desserts: cookies & milk, mini milkshakes, & zeppolis!
My only wish is that we could do it all over again. The food was outstanding & the service was flawless. My friends & family are still raving about it, saying they have never been to such an amazing place for a wedding & never had a better time! If you want to feel like a King & Queen for a day, the Grove is the best option. Thank you to everyone at the Grove for giving us the most wonderful day of our lives!

Our wedding at The Grove was beyond amazing! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff, service, and food are impeccable. I was so nervous the day of our wedding, but once we got to The Grove, I didn't have to worry about a thing! Maggie, Raul, and Jason attended to every detail to make sure the entire evening ran smoothly. They really were wonderful to work with. Our guests have not stopped raving about their experiences as well. They are so happy with the service they received throughout the entire night as well as the quality of the food. Everyone we have spoken with has said that ours was one of the best, if not THE best wedding they have ever been to. It has been over a week since our wedding, and we are still receiving phone calls about how wonderful everything was.
We are so happy to have chosen The Grove for our wedding. It was the first venue we looked at when shopping around, and knew immediately this was where we wanted to hold our reception. We looked at a couple other venues just for comparison, but none of them even came close to the elegance, quality, and professionalism of The Grove. It is on the pricier side, but believe me, it is worth every penny! You will not regret having your wedding, or any other event, at The Grove!
