Kaitlyn made our day beyond perfect. Anything and everything we needed, she went above and beyond for us. From the decor to the food everything was amazing. The chicken and waffles were the best hors d’oeuvres of the night! The way the ballroom was set up so was beautiful and the sweetheart table was better than we imagined. I wish I could relive our special day over snd over! I cannot recommend this venue enough! All of our guests had a great time and complimented everything. All the staff made sure we were comfortable and happy with every last detail. Reviewed on 14-01-2024

Every person at the Grove worked very hard to make our day perfect. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the food is amazing. I am Vegan and they did a fantastic job accommodating me and every other person at the wedding with any restrictions. Every guest raved about the food! The coordinators we worked with left us no room to want for anything. They were attentive and knowledgeable and really helped to guide us through what could have been a very tough process.

Rylee and everyone at The Grove exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue. They made everything so easy from the moment we booked the space. They were extremely accommodating and helpful leading up to the big day, especially since we were planning the wedding from across the country. Whether it was sending pictures via email, setting up calls and private tastings, or just being available for a quick moment. They always were there to help. Everything was setup perfectly for our wedding day and went off without a hitch. From sun up to sun down, Rylee was there to make sure everything ran smooth and that the bride and groom and all of our VIPs were taken care of. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with a staff that pours their heart and soul into each event – look no further than The Grove at Centerton! Reviewed on 24-06-2023

We got married at The Grove on 05/13/23. We can not say enough about how wonderful our wedding was! Throughout our whole process, Krista, Rylee, and the whole wedding planning team were nothing but accommodating. They answered every question we had and helped our wedding vision come to life! I can't thank Rylee enough for everything she helped us with the entire way and especially on our wedding day. She is someone you can trust 100% with any decision making. She made me feel so calm the entire day! I didn't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the morning with friends and family! The entire staff at The Grove were so attentive and hard working the entire day and night. I never had an empty plate or glass! The food was AMAZING. Our wedding was truly everything we wanted and more and that is all because of lovely staff at The Grove. Reviewed on 19-05-2023
Deana Hanson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-03-2023 I truly can not say enough about this venue and the team that goes along with it! The food was AMAZING, everything flowed beautifully and Rylee my coordinator was the best I could have asked for. I would recommend this venue and team to anyone looking to plan a big, modern wedding!! I could not have asked for a better experience!! Reviewed on 15-03-2023
Alaina Pericoloso(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-03-2023 The Grove was the first and only venue we toured. From the very start we knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. In our opinion, the pricing is fair and there are options you can take to reduce the cost like getting married in a winter month. The Grove is spacious and gorgeous, as you can see as soon as you walk in. We got endless compliments on how beautiful everything was and we didn't even have that much decor, it was gorgeous all on its own. We knew that this venue immediately fit our style but it only got better when we got introduced to RYLEE!!!!! There are not enough words to describe how INCREDIBLE Rylee is. She was so knowledgeable, easy to talk to and just overall extremely good at her job. She was quick to answer the numerous questions I had without ever making me feel like I was annoying her. Every single person in our family and wedding party independently said to me how amazing she was. It is very calming having someone with you on your wedding day who knows what they are doing and truly feels like they are enjoying their job. The Grove made the logistics of everything very easy as well. From being able to drop things off a few days before the wedding and then having all of our stuff neatly organized and ready to be picked up the morning after made our lives so much easier. We would 100% pick the Grove over again if we had to. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else!! Reviewed on 08-03-2023
Caitlin Kreidler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2022 I will recommend The Grove forever to anyone who asks... ALWAYS! I cannot rave about them enough and for giving us our perfect dream wedding!From the start, touring the venue, it was our pick immediately no reservations in our minds. It was exactly what we were looking for style-wise & everyone working was so welcoming. Any questions we had during the wedding planning process, both of the amazing ladies Krista and Rylee were right there to answer them all with a smile! What could be to my detriment, I'd like to think I was a pretty laid back bride, which made me also feel somewhat clueless when it came to planning & they both were there to help me every step of the way! They were a dream to work with & were a huge part in our wedding experience! (They were so important, let's just say I cried when I saw them when we first got to the venue on wedding day!)The day of was absolutely perfect. Literally perfect in every way. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so our outside ceremony was everything we wanted. It's such an adorable area out there, we barely added any extra decor because we loved it as is. The Garden Room for cocktail hour was the perfect size for our 150 guests to move comfortably... plus it's just as equally adorable. I could go on raving about our hors d'oeuvres, but I will refer you to our guests who are STILL talking about how delicious everything was! (Don't skip on the mini chicken & waffles!)Our reception in the ballroom was truly a dream. It was everything I pictured in my head for how I wanted my wedding day to be. The room is absolutely beautiful & the entrees were amazing of course. The staff got word that I was a fan of a certain soup I had at another event at The Grove and made a special cup for me! That was not the only amazing treatment from the staff I personally experienced - They knew I was diabetic, so they came up with drink ideas low in sugar for our signature drinks & even made a whole dessert tray of sugar-free treats for me. This is what truly separates The Grove from other wedding venues - you do not feel like just another couple on their list of weddings. They truly care about their couples and how to make their day perfect beyond what you could expect from a venue & their team. Like I mentioned, I will forever recommend The Grove for your wedding if you are still deciding! I love it there & can't imagine having had our big day anywhere else! Reviewed on 28-02-2023

The entire wedding planning process was seamless. Everyone was very responsive. Our wedding day was simply gorgeous. The venue was decorated beautifully and our attendees had a fabulous time. I've had so many friend's continue to comment about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food and cake were.

Our guests loved the cocktail hour, dinner, desserts and cake! We had a family heirloom used for our cake topper and they took great care of it ensuring it was back with us at the end of the night! We felt they went above and beyond to make our day as seamless and perfect as possible. I even had extra flower petals from our florist that we sprinkled down the aisles at the ceremony, and our coordinator sprinkled the extras on different table displays we had within cocktail hour and the reception! I didn’t even think of that and it made the evening so much more romantic! Thank you again to The Grove at Centerton for treating us like family!!! Reviewed on 16-12-2022

They are the most kind, helpful and thoughtful people. Krista and Rylee are amazing people. Any questions or concerns my husband and I had, they answered right away.

Kellie McCarty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2021 It may not have been a wedding, but we recently had my sister-in-law's *baby shower* here and loved it. Olivia and Kate were our contacts and extremely easy to work with. Tammy was our host day-of, everyone was accommodating and very helpful. The shower was in the Garden Room, perfect size for ~80 people and could easily fit 2 more tables. Equipped with bluetooth for music from your phone. The bar was self-serve brunch cocktails and was always refilled promptly. The buffet was brunch (eggs, sausage, salad, pasta, chicken), everything was delicious! Our guests raved about the carrot cake and their cookies for dessert!! Overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend for a bridal or baby shower.*Just a note to brides...if getting married on a weekend there is a good chance another person's shower will be in the morning. This was told to me on my tour in 2021 but also, when we were cleaning up our shower, there was a bride and bridemaids taking pictures in the front lobby area. Reviewed on 11-11-2022

Megan Hazel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2022 The Grove made my wedding day feel like a dream! From the lovely tasting event to the details meeting, all planning events ran very smoothly. Rylee was my day of coordinator and she was so detail oriented and always available to answer questions. On the day off, I felt like everyone went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time. My hair and makeup vendors said that the bridal suite was the most beautiful venue room they had ever been in, and we had such a great time getting ready in there. Everyone worked with my photographer so that we could get pictures in perfect spots around the venue, including in a conference room with wonderful lighting. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough - The Grove kindly put sample of all the apps from cocktail hour in my bridal suite but I was running around chatting with people and never made it back in, haha! Our guests genuinely loved the food and my husband and I thought it was delicious. Again, Even at dinner we had an extra plate on our table with some of the macaroni bar and cheese and cracker station. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful and I had absolutely no regrets about our venue choice. We loved our gift as well after the big day - something I was definitely not expecting. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again, and I am so happy I had it at The Grove! Hoping I can attend weddings in the future to experience it as a guest. Reviewed on 31-10-2022

One of the reasons we chose the Grove was because of the ability to access indoor options in case of rain, although we never expected to have to take advantage of the indoor options- abundant rain made that decision for us! Stephanie quickly assured us the day would be perfect nonetheless AND IT WAS!!! The ceremony was beautiful set up in the main ball room!! Later in the night the rain subsided and we were able to use the outside patio for our guests to enjoy with heat lamps for a beautiful outside forest view of the night sky to catch their breath between songs after dancing the night away!

Jessica Parkell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-02-2021 I cannot say enough good things about the Grove at Centerton. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to Covid-19. Stephanie made the process as smooth as humanly possible. She was flexible and understanding of the stressful situation. I, myself, have worked in hospitality for a decade and I am VERY particular about service—I felt Stephanie & the Grove staff really went above & beyond to make our wedding spectacular. Right before we were announced into the reception as bride & groom, my contact completely ripped in my eye. I was freaking out, but Stephanie actually got it out of my eye in a matter of minutes, found me contact safe eye drops and the show went on! She seriously saved the day! I also want to say the food was absolutely phenomenal. We had a rehearsal dinner, changing room menu for the bridesmaids & moms while we got our hair and makeup done, hors d’oeuvres and stations for cocktail hour, huge dinner buffet, wedding cake, desserts, and late night snacks and EVERYTHING was delicious & fresh. They were even flexible to let me customize some menus to fit our preferences. I sent them photo ideas of the wedding cake design I wanted and their pastry chef blew it out of the water—-not to mention it was literally the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted. We had a TON of decor that we were able to set up the day before the wedding and we were dreading packing it all back up the morning after the wedding, but the staff took care of it so we only had to load the boxes into our trailer. If you are wondering whether or not to book the grove, I would say to definitely go for it—you will not regret it!! It was for sure the most fun and beautiful day of our lives! Reviewed on 16-02-2021

Everything is so pretty from the time you walk in to the main entrance to the bridal suite to the outdoor ceremony location to the cocktail hour room and the main ballroom. Stephanie, the event coordinator at The Grove, is amazing. Any question or concern or change I wanted to make she was right there answering and assisting me. Even on the day of my wedding she was checking in making sure everything went perfectly smooth. It rained the morning of my wedding and Stephanie made sure to have crew members drying off the aisle so it wouldn’t be wet when I walked down. I said I would like the ceremony to start right on time and she had guests in their seats according to plan. There was not a thing I had to worry about. The food is impeccable. From the tasting down to the day of the wedding it was perfect. I had asked if the salmon could have a different sauce the day of the wedding and it was not a problem, I also asked for salads to be pre-plated as guests entered in from cocktail hour and that was done as well. Every guest we had said how delicious and impressed they were with at cocktail hour, which included lamb chop and scallops wrapped in bacon along with many other amazing hors d’oeuvres, and dinner. I must also give a shout out to Brittany. She was a little bit of everything from a gown train layer to a waitress. She gave me my cue to walk down the aisle and made sure my gown’s train was perfectly laid out before walking down the aisle. She also helped bustle my gown for the ceremony. She always made sure I had a drink or food or anything me and my husband needed. She was on top of refilling hors d’oeuvres in the bridal suite during cocktail hour and I never had to go to the bar because she would find me on the dance floor or wherever I was mingling the and asked if I needed a refill or anything else. She even offered to box up our left overs from dinner. Another really nice thing The Grove did was box up our desserts to take home. You pick out all these amazing desserts to have and end up forgetting to eat them because your having the time of your life. So leaving the venue at the end of the night and having desserts and cake sliced up to take home was a perfect treat!! I will 1000% recommend this venue to anyone getting married!!!

Every single detail I had wanted was brought to life and distinguished perfectly. She answered every email I sent day or night and relieved any worry I had about ANYTHING with the wedding. She even answered my questions that did not have to do with the venue and gave her honest opinion/help which was amazing!!! Our guests also RAVED about the food. We had 5 appetizers butlered, 2 slider stations, and a charcuterie board for cocktail hour and salad, Salmon, and Steak for dinner along with veggie sides and mashed potatoes and every single guest complimented the food even weeks after the wedding day! Guests also raved about the dessert. We had chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and American buttercream icing. To die for! Definitely plenty of great food the entire night. We also had our rehearsal dinner at The Grove and it was wonderful. I 10000% recommend The Grove to any bride and groom looking for a modern/farmhouse venue with amazing food and service. You will not be disappointed!! Reviewed on 14-12-2020
Kristy Kelly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 My husband and I were blown away by how gorgeous The Grove looked on our wedding day. The ballroom is breathtaking and so is the garden room and garden square. As soon as we walked in the door to tour this venue we fell in love. On top of that everyone was so friendly and easy to talk to. Plus once we actually booked they were there for us every step of the way! Being a COVID bride I thought I was going to go crazy, but they kept me up to date on all the changes and gave me options along the way. Stephanie was a life savor and we loved having her help us plan this process. If we had to do it all over again we would both still pick The Grove! Reviewed on 27-10-2020
Brooke Craver(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-10-2020 My name is Brooke Craver. My husband and I got married at The Grove on Sunday October 18, 2020. I am writing to you to tell you about my experience at The Grove from a brides point of view. We booked this venue only a few days after we got engaged (Nov 2019). My husband walked right into the foyer and looked at me and said this was the place he wanted to get married at. It was beautiful. Through the whole wedding process we worked with Stephanie. We had our food tasting February 2020 and loved how the stations were set up. We asked for the exact same set up and Stephanie was so accommodating. She never told us no about anything. Our whole menu was a custom brunch menu. I emailed Stephanie over 15 times. She was also so quick to reply. Obviously with a pandemic happening, things were hectic and I was overwhelmed. Stephanie was very easy to work with and get ahold of. Stephanie and I went back and forth during the unknowns of the pandemic trying to problem solve and fortunately we were able to have our day! She also had great ideas to add to our reception like glow sticks (such a big hit). Leading up to the wedding, my mother and I stopped in quite a few times to talk to Stephanie and just go over the set up of the venue on our wedding day, so there were no unclear details. I was worried about the weather and Stephanie showed us the tent that was put up out on the terrace. I was told the tent will also be there for my wedding day along with several outdoor heaters. That made me feel at ease in case of bad weather. So here is my day from start to finish. When I arrived at the venue at 9am I was informed Stephanie would not be there until 1pm. Which I had no problem with because I was with Stephanie for rehearsal the day before and she said all decor for all vendors will be waiting in the ballroom for their 9a arrival. My mother and I went into the ballroom and it was still set up from the previous wedding. None of my decor was in the ballroom. My grandfather had made me very special doors to place behind my sweetheart table and drove an hour just to put these doors up for me at 9a. When he arrived the arbor from the previous wedding was in the way and he was told the arbor would eventually be moved on The Groves time. I was very upset by this because my grandfather needed to drive home to get ready for my wedding after setting up these doors and he was inconvenienced waiting around for someone to move the arbor. After this was straightened out I went into the bridal suite to try and relax before the ceremony. The floor of the bridal suite had large sticky areas all over the tile along with trash and dirt. As I was getting my hair done the florist came into the bridal suite and asked me where the decor was that she needed. My mother was getting her make up done at this time also. We were both unable to get up to show her where we placed the decor the day prior. Two of my bridesmaids actually went searching for the decor room and carried all the decor out for my florist. When Stephanie arrived at the venue she came into the bridal suite while I was getting my makeup done to advise me of a simple issue with decor. I was unaware of what the ballroom looked like because it was going to be a surprise for me. When it came time for my first look Stephanie came into the bridal suite and suggested we do it in front of the fire place in the foyer. I specifically asked if she would move the furniture and she stated yes I' Reviewed on 21-10-2020
Nicole Mazer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-01-2020 Absolutely in love with this venue! Stephanie, the event coordinator was my wedding MVP, I don't know what I would have done without her. she was always so calm and just handled any little hiccup. I have the most perfect day, and it was because she took care of everything. They arranged our champagne and chocolate party favors to make them look gorgeous and the food was delicious. We didn't have to worry about what to do next, because Stephanie was always there to guide us, so we just got to enjoy every moment. I truly had the best day of my life, in a beautiful venue with delicious food. I would definitely consider renting out the cocktail hour room for another event again the future.

Meredith Pichini(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-11-2019 The Grove at Centerton is the perfect place to have a rustic wedding! My wedding was on November 17th, 2019. Stephanie is an absolute joy to work with. She really cares about you and making sure every detail is exactly how you envisioned it. The bridal suite is a comfortable place to get ready, and the grounds are a gorgeous site for pictures, even after the leaves have fallen. The reception was so much fun, and the food/bar is a great value. I especially loved the wedding cake, which is done in-house. Thank you Stephanie and the Grove team for making my wedding day perfect! Reviewed on 27-12-2019

From the moment we started looking into The Grove, Jennie and Stephanie were right there with answers to every question we had. The venue is stunning. Its ballroom and cocktail hour room is like non other. The patio was well lit to enjoy during cocktail hour. And the price is well within a budget. Our wedding was on a Friday but, the price for what you get, is well worth it. I loved everything about this place but the food was number 1. Everything that was served was delicious. From cocktail hour to dessert, just unbelievable. Im just so happy we chose The Grove to celebrate the best day of our lives. Reviewed on 21-11-2019

Best I have ever dealt with for any sort of event. Every request was honored without question, again I can only emphasize the Staff and their Customer Service approach was second to none. If you are considering the Grove for your Event, I can promise you, you'll be amazed!!! Christa from the Office staff, WOW, ..... I was having an issue with my rental suit, when I asked if they had any suspenders or possibly a belt, she apologized and said they didn't. She offered to drive home and get her Husband's suspenders!! Without her generosity and selfless effort, I can't say my experience would have been as great!!! Reviewed on 04-11-2019
Kelly Marchione(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-07-2020 Beautiful venue yes. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we saw the pictures of it and were almost certain we would book the day we toured. Unfortunately the staff I dealt with were not professional by any means. The person who provided our tour did a great job showing us the venue but didn’t make us feel comfortable at all when she continued to talk down about the couple who she toured right before us as well as previous couples they’ve toured and booked and how she makes sure to note any of these qualities in her sheet she fills out while touring the couples. Needless to say we were still determined to go ahead and try to make this our wedding venue. Afterwards I did most of my communication with another staff member by email, however, whenever I emailed anything that gave the sense I was ready to book I would receive immediate responses but whenever I sent emails pertaining to pricing and packaging and finding ways to make their venue work with the budget we had in mind, my emails were “never received” despite sending numerous times. When I asked the staff member If i could have the name of her manager or supervisor she was extremely hesitant and insisting on knowing why I wanted to know this which shows me they realized they were doing work up to par. The venue unfortunately was unwilling to work with us to help meet our budget (which is their personal choice as a venue and I can’t or won’t fault for that) but I am very thankful for that as I can’t imagine how terrible their staff would be to me once they had my money. The venue is beautiful but their staff are very unprofessional. Reviewed on 02-11-2019

Both Jennie & Stephanie made me feel so welcome and at ease throughout the entire planning process. I didn't feel like I got a true taste of the food we would be serving at the tasting, so we arranged a personal tasting of things I chose off of the menu during my finalization meeting, which was perfect. The day of my wedding was perfect, all of my guests were so happy and commented how beautiful everything was, and Stephanie was consistently checking in to make sure everything was going well/see if we needed anything.

Miranda Massara(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 Immediately when you walk in the Grove, you will be blown away by the beautiful ambience and decor. We were looking for a rustic, but modern, venue and the Grove was absolutely perfect. The dance floor is huge, which was important to us considering the amount of dancers we have on each side of the family. The garden room (cocktail hour space) is gorgeous, with plenty of natural light to illuminate the building. Our wedding was originally supposed to be outside on their stunning patio, but due to weather we moved indoors to the garden room. It was absolutely beautiful indoors, and the staff had the room ready for cocktail hour within minutes, before we could even leave the bridal suite to see our guests. There was ample space in the bridal suite for 9 girls to get ready. The staff is just as exceptional as the venue. Jennie helped to handle the tour and booking with incredible friendliness and patience. Stephanie was an angel. She had answers for every one of my questions, was prompt to respond to my needs, and helped to make the day truly special. She has a terrific personality, and could not be in a better profession. Our friends and family raved about all of the food, from the cocktail hour to the desserts. The entrees were delicious, and the filet was perfectly cooked. We were overly impressed by the Grove, from top to bottom, and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Reviewed on 12-08-2019

Teresa Eang(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 I had a lot of reservations about my wedding because I originally wanted something small and intimate, but I ended up with a 260 person wedding. So I struggled to find a venue that captured simple yet rustic elegance, but could still accommodate our massive families. But The Grove was just that - simple rustic elegance, classy and beautiful but just beside the woods so we could take some shots outdoors. It was also large enough to accommodate I think 400 guests if necessary - but there was no way I was telling our families that haha.The team from start to finish were amazing, from booking with Jennie, working with Stephanie to plan the wedding itself, and even Krista and the GM, everyone was professional but also really laid back which really made it more comfortable and easy for me to plan a massive wedding. Wedding planning is really stressful, but every time I interacted with The Grove's team I just felt so much more at ease and excited.Our wedding was on May 25th, and it was perfect. Stephanie seemed very on top of it and I could see her touching base with my bridal party and family when needed and kept everything going smooth for each part of the wedding. I was really nervous that this massive wedding could end up disorganized and a mess, but Jennie and Stephanie always had great recommendations on how to keep it flowing and smooth, but also make time for my groom and I to get away. It ended up beautifully organized and even my guests thought the resulting service was great.As for the food, my asian family is super picky. They were concerned it would be bad and there wouldn't be enough food. But they loved it - there was definitely more than enough food during cocktail hour to hold them over for dinner, and they loved the salad and entrees. We got the prime rib and salmon entrees. Prime rib was my favorite but the salmon was great too. And the cake! It was delicious!! I don't normally think much about wedding cakes at weddings, but this one was so good. It was a chocolate cake and I wish I ate more of it because it was delicious. Even my grandpa is still talking about the wedding and the food, and he's a tough one to please, so cute haha.The Grove was also very accommodating of late RSVP's from my family - the last RSVP I believe was a few days before the wedding, and we had to constantly adjust the number but they were very understanding.All in all - best wedding I've ever been to and I'm glad I get to say that about my own wedding. Thanks guys! Reviewed on 03-06-2019
Brenda Holding(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2019 When my daughter got engaged, she was attending bridal shows and looking for a place to have her wedding. She visited many venues but could not find the perfect one for her special day. After hearing about The Grove's renovations, I took a tour and fell in love with the place. That day, Jennie showed me around and took the time to go over all of the details about the wedding day. When my daughter came for a tour, she thought The Grove was perfect and booked her wedding that day! Jennie and Stephanie helped us so much with all of the wedding planning. We made many visits and they were always willing to help. The girls got ready in the beautiful bridal suite with the hair and makeup artists. The ceremony was outside on the patio.
