Amber Moates(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-04-2016 Our wedding was straight out of a fairytale! The Grand on Foster was beyond beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our April wedding. Caroline was our wedding coordinator and she did a FANTASTIC job!!! She took every bit of stress off of me so I could enjoy the big day. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for a wedding venue in the area!!! Reviewed on 21-04-2016
Lauren Hunt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2015 The Grand was perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful and someone was there the entire day of my wedding to make sure everything was set up right. They also let me do my engagement pictures there before the wedding. I would recommend this venue to anyone. If I had a complaint, it would just be that we found out a week before the wedding that the cleaning fee was not included in the venue cost. I'm sure it was probably in the contract but was not stated in the initial meeting. Overall, I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to The Grand and its staff! Reviewed on 18-08-2015

The Grand on Foster is not only the best venue in the Wiregrass, it is nicer than most in the southeast. While living nearly two hours away in Tallahassee, Florida, we knew it would be stressful planning a wedding in our hometown of Dothan, Alabama, so we decided to let Veronica Philpot assist us in the planning and we are extremely happy that we did. Veronica impressed us from the start by lining up vendors for us to talk to each chance we were able to make it to Dothan. She worked with our budget and was able to get us everything we wanted. Veronica's talents showed greatly on the day of our beautiful wedding as she kept everything organized all while allowing us to have a stress free day. Multiple guests even had positive comments in reference to her organizational skills. We highly recommend the Grand on Foster and Veronica Philpot. Reviewed on 14-05-2014

Meagan Hart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-02-2013 The Grand on Foster is an outstanding wedding venue. We used The Grand as a 'Getting Ready' area for both bridal parties, pre-ceremony pictures and had the reception there that night. It was an absolute pleasure to work with The Grand's Wedding Coordinators. Our coordinator felt like a member of our family towards the end. Not only were we overwhelmed with the beauty of the exposed brick walls, the hardwood floors and the crystal chandeliers; we were overwhelmed by the love and assistance our planner gave us. She went out of her way to assist in any way possible to make sure everything was a dream! In addition to the wedding day festivities, we used the venue for my bridal portraits. The Grand on Foster makes everything look AMAZING!! Reviewed on 03-09-2013
Jessica Kramer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2013 My husband and I had our reception at the Grand on Foster and it was perfect. You barely need any decorations because of the beauty of the venue itself. Crystal chandeliers, exposed brick, and wood floors--all you need are a few flowers and some great food. Veronica was our wedding coordinator at the Grand and she did a fabulous job! I didn't have to worry about anything the whole night. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning as well, and if you get the chance, TAKE YOUR PICTURES HERE. Our pictures are incredible, our reception was incredible, and the Grand is incredible.

Candace Dixon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-05-2013 The Grand on Foster is amazing! From the managers to the planners, from the gorgeous courtyard to the beautiful ballrooms, The Grand on Foster, in my opinion, stands miles above any other venue in Southeast Alabama's Wiregrass Area. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be and more. We received tons of compliments from our guests on the venue. I used one of The Grand's wedding planners. She was AMAZING. She was never too busy to help me, and she went out of her way to make everything the way I imagined. Reviewed on 23-07-2013
