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

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!

This venue was honestly probably the most elegant venue I have ever DJ'd for. As a young DJ 25 yrs old -- the staff treated me with respect and attended very well. Huge shoutouts to Omar in the 1st floor for making sure the wedding last night Friday was rocking and popping! He took care of me the whole time since the moment I got there.I have taken a couple videos and not as much photos (sucks!) but I was one man army assuring my DJing was on point. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have any event as the venue was perfect for mingling/dancing! Would definitely also

Attended a wedding at the Grove last night. What a let down. The food was just terrible! How do you screw up ziti marinara? The filet mignon at the carving station for cocktail hour and as a main course was the worst tasting piece of meat i ever tasted.
The lamb offered at the cocktail hour was inedible. This was quite a surprise for us, cause the place is beautiful. this reception was not cheap! they are cutting corners on the food quality and it shows. I do not recommend this place if you want good food for a wedding. So sad that I am saying this, but it is true.

Dream your wedding day (big or small) and leave the rest to The Grove. Where shall we begin from this all good review. Let's just say Jimmy was the first & last person we saw on our special day! He made sure they exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
When we first met with Jimmy to tour the grounds we we're met with a warm smile and open arms. First impressions are the most important ones and The Grove made a lasting one.

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

They refused to give one of my good friends her money back on her deposit during COVID-19 and it was a lot of money. I feel bad for any bride having a similar issue. I would not trust the venue to have your best intentions at heart as a bride and god forbid an emergency happened! Do not book with them ! Stay away

Poor business practices, required a $29,000 deposit for a wedding. Subsequently canceled the wedding due to Governors mandate and now refuse to give the family the deposit back. There is absolutely no reason to keep this money from the family. Took well over $500k in PPP money from the government but still refuses to return the deposit for the wedding they canceled. Poor business practices, do the right thing.

Let me start that if I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I most assuredly would. The staff was phenomenal. It's almost as if they knew what you were thinking and there it was. And the food!! OMG. Everything was exactly as promised by Andrew and Jason. Beautifully presented and delicious.So many choices, and quality was first rate. Too many great people to name them all but Omar, Ashley, Daniel and I'm sorry I don't remember all their names, were fantastic. My daughter's wedding was positively an experience I will have in my heart and mind forever, thanks to the wonderful

My wedding was yesterday and picking the grove was the best decision I made. The service is excellence.. you are guaranteed a stress free day. The staff is on top of their game. Ashley was my bridal attendant and she was incredible.. total angel .. friendly helpful .. she was ahead of the game for just about everything.. she helped with my makeup and hair during pictures .. she took care of my dress and even helped with my shoe emergency.. she did it all .. but most importantly she did it with a smile. She was so pleasant and helpful .. she made my day perfect and helped me overlook any imperfections

I went ti a wedding last night at the Grove. I very rarely write a review about a catering hall. Most of the time its because they offer typical catered food. However, The Grove was so good in all areas I had to write something!
The decor is excellent and gives you a feel of a contemporary and well maintained venue.
The service superb! Extremely professional, very attentive and very polite!
The food? Wow! I never expected the quality and variety from a catering hall. Magnificent! The cocktail hour had a tremendous variety and plenty of food. Chicken and waffles, sushi, lamb chops, meat

My wife and I attended a wedding here on Saturday. One word can describe The Grove, INCREDIBLE! This was the nicest wedding venue I have ever attended. The food, alcohol, service, decor are all top notch.

The ceremony is held in one room. After the ceremony your taken to another room for the cocktail hour. There were 12 serving stations while staff walked around with appetizers. At most station

I stopped by the The Grove a few weeks ago for my uncles birthday party. It's super fancy!!! I felt a little intimidated by how upscale it is. Seriously I've been to weddings that weren't this nice.
We had a full three course meal with a room full of appetizers & deserts. There was mac'n cheese with bacon bits, pulled pork sliders, mini cups of chili, chicken & waffles, a full bar, and a ton of other really tasty stuff I didn't have time to get around to.
Idk how much it would cost to throw a party here but if I had money I'd host an event at this place

This venue is absolutely fabulous. We attended a wedding here and was treated to an unmatched bridal experience. They have lavish rooms and decor. The spread was amazing and included rack of lamp, fine cheeses, plump shrimp, well seasoned meats, and a Patron fountain. The staff were on point, professional and accommodating; and the add-ons they provided were awesome - smoke machine, bride and groom's name projected on the dance floor, sparklers on champagne bottles, several libation fixtures, and I could go on and on.
I'm already married, but the experience made me want to do it all

Let me tell you, going to attend a wedding at the Grove while you're in the midst of planning your own wedding is a terrible, terrible idea. This is because the Grove is INCREDIBLY beautiful, the service is impeccable, and the overall atmosphere of the wedding could not have been more perfect. Seriously, this place is the bee's knees.

The Grove is a beautiful venue for any upscale event; a wedding, bar mitzvah, retirement party. From the minute I walked into the marble lobby entrance, and saw the waiter service at the cocktail hour I knew I was in for a good experience.
I was at a retirement party for a colleague on a Friday night with a few hundred other guests. We were treated to a cocktail hour with a buffet table of fresh fruits, cheeses and also waiters serving up apps. There were a couple of stations to get drinks, wine or cocktails and the service was attentive throughout the event.
