Our wedding at The Grove was the absolute best! The staff was absolutely amazing and so professional! Jason and his administrative team were very easy to work with and were very organized. They helped us tremendously with our wedding planning from the start. Our Maitre’d, Attef, along with our captains and our bride/groom attendants, Emma and Luis were so attentive and made the entire night run smoothly. The venue itself is stunning inside and out! The food was absolutely amazing! There were so many different unique food choices that definitely sets The Grove apart from other venues. The Grove definitely will not let any prospective clients down and they will most definitely not let anyone go home hungry. Highly recommended.

The venue was absolutely stunning and made our wedding a dream come true! Jimmy was so detailed and made us feel at ease during this stressful time. The staff was the most attentive staff! The bridal attendants catered to my every whim and helped me during the most hectic times. Emma in particular was the most helpful and phenomenal attendant EVER! I could not have survived the day without her! The food cocktail hour, and desserts were beyond our wildest dreams regarding taste and beauty! I cannot say enough great things and I would 100% recommend anyone to get married at The Grove! I need more people to have weddings there so I could enjoy more food.

An absolutely stunning and perfect venue in every way! Searching for a venue is stressful to say the least - from the moment Raul at The Grove picked up the phone, I felt like I knew this is where I wanted to get married. He was SO inviting and made the whole process so easy. The staff here is truly so accommodating, organized and they take care of EVERYTHING - things you literally won't even think of! A big reason we chose this venue is because of the food - we heard amazing things and we definitely were not let down. Our guests have not stopped raving about everything, but mostly the food and ESPECIALLY the cocktail hour. It's also just a really beautiful venue overall; I loved that there were separate rooms (all equally beautiful) for each event for my December wedding (ceremony/cocktail/reception), and we were also able to surprise our guests with the Viennese Hour at the end. The bridal suite is massive and has really nice vanities for getting ready. 10/10 would recommend this venue if you want to wow your guests with a top notch event. Thank you to the amazing team at The Grove for helping to provide a phenomenal experience and make our wedding day the best day ever!!

IT’S TRUE THAT THIS IS THE BEST VENUE IN NEW JERSEY.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!

The Grove is an absolutely stunning venue (indoors and outdoors) with the most exceptional food. We are so happy that we were able to have our wedding reception here! Jason was so beyond helpful, responsive, kind, honest, and professional throughout the entire process! Maggie was also a pleasure to meet and work with - she catered to our every need without even needing to be asked. THANK YOU for making our day so special and magical. Honestly, my only wish is that I could have slowed the day down just a little bit more so that my husband and I could have gotten to enjoy the food more and taken more pictures at the venue. I look forward to next event that we get to enjoy there. This was our first experience at The Grove but I do not believe it will be our last - every single guest of ours was unbelievably impressed with everything this venue offered - they continue to talk about it to this day! My husband and I do not have enough words to express how truly grateful and happy we are. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

If you want an \"over the top,\" exceptional wedding, look no further than The Grove! My husband and I got married on July 23rd and our guests are still talking about their experience. From a bride's perspective, The Grove is perfection! I worked with Raul who is an absolute MASTER at running a party! I am a perfectionist myself and every single item listed on our Board of Execution was upheld. I never had to worry that something wasn't going to be perfect because Raul put me at ease and was in constant communication with me via text and/or email. He truly pours his heart and soul into each couple's day and treats every party like it is his own. There is no \"cookie cutter\" parties at The Grove!On the day of my wedding, my bridal attendant continually checked on me and made sure I was taken care of. I never had to look for help because she was there by my side. Our ceremony was perfection. Our guests highlighted that they never saw a ceremony run so smoothly and seamlessly. Raul rehearsed the ceremony with our bridal party before the wedding and had me come in with a dramatic entrance. My parents walked in first and waited. The doors opened and there I was . People are still talking about the beauty of this moment. After the ceremony, an abundance of food was brought up to my husband and me with something from every station of the cocktail hour. As tough as it was to eat because of all the nerves, I made sure to try the empanadas and plantains that were a special request on the menu. They were absolutely delicious and our guests said that they NEVER SAW A COCKTAIL HOUR that was so OVER THE TOP! There were 20-25 passing items in addition to 7-8 stations. Definitely upgrade to get the Raw Bar and Sushi Display! In the ballroom, our guests said that their water was never even half empty. The waiters made sure each guest was taken care of and all food allergies were accommodated. Sometimes, wedding dinners are just \"okay;\" however, at The Grove, the wedding meal is TOP NOTCH. Raul sent us home with food to enjoy as well and even the next day it was DELICIOUS! Then, our Viennese Hour was displayed ranging from donut walls to flambe stations and so many more delicious goodies! Our guests said that as full as they were, they found room to keep eating! Raul recommended us getting \"to go\" boxes and that was a huge hit! Our guests were pilling in so many goodies to take home and enjoy! Lastly, we had the after party downstairs, which was so much fun and a great way to say goodbye to our guests! We had it set up as a lounge with high and low cocktail tables! More food was passed that incorporated \"late night food items\" such as buffalo chicken sliders and pizza bagels along with \"breakfast foods\" like french toast sticks. I assure you that no one went home hungry! I truly hope I get to be a guest at The Grove again and experience the magic of this venue! I recommend The Grove without any reservations and was so lucky to have had my dream wedding there!

I recently had my wedding reception at the Grove and loved my experience! From the moment we booked our wedding at the Grove, everyone was super helpful! During our planning meeting with Jimmy we felt confident and excited that our reception will be exactly what we dreamed of. He was able to incorporate all our cultural and religious requests (baraat, separate prayer room, halal meat, no pork). We even got to customize our own non-alcoholic signature drinks! During the actual wedding day, my bridal attendant Noelia was truly AMAZING! From the moment I walked in, she didn't leave my side! She helped me put on my wedding dress, secure my bridal jewelry and was there to hand me water and fix my lipgloss during wedding pictures! I truly don't know if my day would have been as great without her help and commitment to making me feel comfortable! My husband's groom attendant (I think his name was Antonio?) was equally has amazing. ALSO everyone that attended the reception is still raving about the food and the cocktail hour. If your priority is your guest experience, the Grove is perfect for you!

Jason and Raul were attentive to all our needs and consistently checking in on every detail to make sure everything ran smoothly. Noelia was by our side start to finish and cannot imagine the day without her by our side! I still talk about how amazing she was to this day. While all the staff at The Grove were spectacular, Noelia went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect! Highly recommend The Grove. Great venue with delicious food and at no point did anyone have to wait for a drink.

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!

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!!!

My wife and I are forever grateful for how easy it was to work with The Grove and how incredible, accommodating, and professional they were. I can not even begin to put into words how we felt on our wedding day and it was all thanks to the amazing and most wonderful staff at The Grove! Picking your venue is usually the most daunting and stressful part of wedding planning and this part of our wedding planning was the easiest due to the staff at The Grove. We worked with Jason, the manager at The Grove, and compared to all the other venues we have visited Jason stood out immediately! He truly cares about how he can personally make your wedding day beyond what you invisioned it to be! He was so easy to work with and he was not lying when he was bragging about the food because it was amazing! We have not stopped hearing from our guests how The Grove's food was hands down the best food they have eaten at a wedding venue. From cocktail hour, to the top shelf alcohol, to the main entrees and desert, everone left very satisfied and full. The Grove delivered on everything they have to offer! The venue itself is just the most beautiful and captivating venue you'll visit and makes for magical photos that you will cherish for the rest of your life. From the beautiful and very large hall, the stunning stairwell and chandelier in the entrance, to the historic house they have onsite, everything will wow your guests and exceed all your expectations! I will forever recommend The Grove to any couple and I would like to thank Jason, the bride and groom attendee, the maître d', and the entire staff we have dealt with that made our special day nothing less then perfect.

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 have 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!

The Grove is seriously the most incredible wedding venue. The food was amazing, the service was out of this world, and the people who work there are so sincere and genuine in making the day feel like a dream come true. Christina from The Grove is hands down one of the most amazing people inside and out. She took so much of her personal time to help me with whatever I needed. Trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was certainly stressful at times, but Christina always made it positive and helped me out along the way. I have texted and called her throughout all hours of the day and she always responded. I can NOT say enough amazing things about her.

I do not even know where to start. We toured many venues, but the Grove was the only one to work with us in every single aspect of our wedding. After having to postpone our wedding twice due to Covid-19, my fiancé and I were so relieved with all of the help and support from Jimmy at the Grove. When our 4.30.21 wedding date finally arrived more than a year after our original plans, we honestly did not really know what to expect. The Grove exceeded every expectation and hope that we had and beyond. Every inch of the property is perfect for photos, including the stunning staircase and historic house on the property. The balcony overlooking the cocktail hour room, as well as our entrance into the reception made us feel like true royalty. I never understood how necessary it would be having Liliya, our bridal attendant, with us the entire step of the way but she was absolutely incredible. We were never without a drink, something to eat and my long veil was always smoothed even if it meant doing so 10x over. She even snuck us through the service entrance after taking photos so our guests wouldn’t see my outfit change and fixed my bustle when one of the buttons came off. And Atof, although remaining hidden to us for most of the evening, kept every single moment of the cocktail hour and reception on schedule. He even reserved special tables for our parents during the cocktail hour and made sure they were well taken care of the entire night. Every single guest told me how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and that it was an incredible day. The Viennese hour was like nothing I have ever seen. I will never forget how perfect everything was and truly thank the entire Grove team for going above and beyond.

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.

I initially had a great time working with Raul in the process of booking an Aug 2020 wedding. Unfortunately, the wedding needed to be cancelled due to covid. The (forced) rescheduling/ cancelling process was handled very poorly and insensitively by the GM, Jason . My request to have the deposit ($5k) refunded was repeatedly ignored. Instead, The Grove had the audacity to send me a letter saying I owed them 50% of the total cost of the cancelled wedding ($20k+)! This is a terrible way of handling business with a customer who has already invested time and money and closes all doors for future business as well. Be very cautious about booking any celebrations during uncertain times, once you pay that deposit, venues like The Grove care more about their payments than your celebration.

Starting with the PHENOMENAL Christina, who put my mind at such ease and handled all of my last minute curve balls even hours before the ceremony. My wedding day was beyond anything I could of imagined or dreamed! From the minute I stepped into the Grove I was treated like a queen. The attendants for my husband and I were amazing. They made sure our parents were always sacking or drinking something to keep their energy up for the festivities. My bridal attendant Noellia( sorry if I spelt it wrong) was by my side until the minute I got into the car to leave. She constantly helped me fix my dress, retouch my lip gloss and made sure I always had a drink or something to eat. Speaking of food ahhhhhhhmazingggggg!!! My guests cannot stop raving about cocktail hour and how there was such an amazing variety and plethora of food to eat. I don’t know how people can say they don’t eat at their weddings, they clearly haven’t ever gotten married at the Grove. My husband and I were able to eat every single thing we picked out for cocktail hour and by dinner I was stuffed. Then dessert. OMG!!! Every dessert for our Viennese stations you could think of was there. My guests were so overwhelmed and trilled that we had a whole room devoted to just desserts. Best part was being able to have our dinner and a TON of desserts packed up for us to take home. Our wedding day was just incredible. My husband and I can’t thank the Grove enough for giving us amazing service and the wedding of our dreams! I can’t wait for one of our friends or family to get married there so we can come back LOL

Christina made it so personal and special for us. She even helped us pick the church and find our priest. She helped me and my family pull off an amazing wedding in less than 3 months. Very thankful for her! We love them and will recommend them FOREVER!!

SPECTACULAR! I fell in love with The Grove in August 2018, but you and your team truly made our Wedding Day unforgettable. The Grove's outstanding 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! The Grove's 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. Ashley literally fed me fruit when she noticed I hadn't eaten. She could anticipate my needs before I even had time to ask- she is WONDER WOMAN!Chef Anthony is a true artist! He made unique Peruvian dishes that were specially added to the menu to highlight my husband's heritage and everyone was impressed! Raul was our contact, but he was more like my ambassador and advocate! He is AMAZING at what he does! He kept me calm the entire reception and I enjoyed every moment of my wedding. Because of him, I NEVER worked my wedding! I cannot thank Raul enough for taking care of us. H is e so professional and talented, and I was blessed to have him by our side. He and his team made me feel like a princess. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.It rained on October 20th, and all of our wedding photos were indoors... AND I WOULDN'T have it any other way! The Grove is a stunning background for our pictures!I could go on for days! ALL BRIDES WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET THE GROVE! You made our dreams come true, and I am forever thankful!

The grove host our wedding on June 15th 2019. We feel we are so lucky we picked the grove to be our wedding venue. Since the gorgeous venue, and also their incredible excellent service. Before the wedding, they helped us planned menu and layout etc, and since we are chinese, we need to a tea ceremony in the early morning, their team really make accommodation for us, helped us planned the room and let us start the day from 7 am in the morning. And our bride and groom attendant was there from the time we get in the venue. They did everything for us. I can not say more thank you to them. My bridal attendant helped me changing my dress, iron my dress, grab food and drink for me etc. They made me really feels a bride that day. For the food, the cocktail hour, reception food was incredible. All my friends and family really had a good time. they said we had best wedding they have ever attended. Special thank Jimmy, our maitre d', my bridal attendant and groom attendant on that day. They definitely made our special day even more special and unforgettable!!! I highly recommend the grove to be your wedding venue, if you want a worry free, luxury and elegant wedding!

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!

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!

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 because we never attended any event there, 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!

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!

As I turned to leave the office today, a co-worker adjacent to me stopped to chat and to suggest we stop by \"The Grove\" so we can get the opportunity to eat the delicious food there again. Talks of wedding crashing turned into more serious plans of trying to get another co-worker married off there. This was a joke, of course, but there is always a grain of truth in humor. The bottom line is this: you can't do better than \"The Grove\". They are meticulous, detail-oriented, and they make sure to exceed all of your expectations. Our wedding is still being spoken about, photos still being exchanged, and there is not a single negative comment in the air. Andrew was incredible to work with. We placed our absolute trust in him and went with all of the vendors that he suggested and we could not be more grateful. As I am sure you've heard other married couples tell you - your day will pass by in a blink and you will struggle to remember it. You need to have your wedding at the Grove. They make sure that you will leave your wedding day not just with a blink of an experience, but with a montage of tangible, positive, moments. We can not thank everyone at the Grove enough. They truly are # 1.

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

Ashley my bridal attended was amazing. She was constantly fixing my hair and make up throughout the day. The food in the cocktail hour was outstanding. We were given so much that we couldn't even finish it all. Our main dishes were amazing as well. I was happy that we were able to take them home with us as they were still so good the next day. The Viennese hour was incredible. I couldn't believe all of the desserts that were there. Our wedding day was truly a dream come true.

There was clear communication from the Grove at all times leading up to our wedding, which helped to alleviate a lot of our stress. They also took care of anything we needed when we asked them, including working independently with other vendors to get items we needed for our wedding.Even more, the Grove was familiar with all of our vendors and coordinated with them independently in the days leading up to our wedding. The Grove hosts only one event at a time, so you can be sure that you will have their full attention during your event, and their support staff did a great job of making sure our wedding went smoothly and they attended to any issues that arose during the day.We couldn't have asked for anything more!

After weeks of searching for venues all across NJ, we knew we had found the place we wanted to get married in the moment we stepped into The Grove. As other reviews have pointed out, the venue is stunning - the grand foyer, the ceremony area, the cocktail lounge, the bride and groom suites - everything is incredible. The photos on The Grove’s website doesn’t do it justice as it’s hard to capture the beauty of the entire space. From the moment we knew we wanted to get married here, Daniel, Maggie and George guided us through the entire process from start to finish. It’s really refreshing to have people who know what they are doing ask you for the basic decisions and then take it from there seeing it through to the end. It lifts a huge weight off your shoulder knowing you have knowledgeable professionals in your corner. On the day of the wedding (March 24, 2018), Maggie and George were at our sides making sure we were comfortable and making sure we stayed on top of everything. Without them we would’ve most certainly been overwhelmed. Needless to say, they made a perfect day even more perfect. Now let’s talk about the food, there were so many choices and each one was just perfect. All our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much food there was and how good it all tasted. A week since, we are still hearing from guests who attended telling us this was one of the best weddings they’ve attended. And none of this would’ve been possible without the entire team at The Grove - especially Daniel, Maggie and George. If you are thinking of getting married in the area, you will love having made the decision to get married here at The Grove.

I don't even know where to begin. Our whole adventure begins with Andrew Kronengold. The absolute greatest sales manager you could have ever asked for. Andrew made sure our entire wedding planning journey was seamless. The Grove is an incredible facility with so much to offer, it leaves you speechless. The moment you walk in those doors into the giant gorgeous foyer, you will be hooked I promise!! Each room is amazing in its own way. Anything you envision can be done. Morning of our wedding, I was greeted by my new best friend Ashley. She 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. She was my right hand man from the moment I stepped out of the limo in the morning to the moment she put me back in the limo at the end of the night. From fixing my hair, dabbing my tears and reapplying my lipstick. She made sure I was perfect all night, and I really cannot thank her enough. 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! The staff at The Grove just seriously cannot be touched. They have been trained by the best and they truly care about what they're doing. Now for the party! Cocktail hour was amazing, we wished we had more time to spend in it! The stations looked delicious, the drinks were colorful, bright and strong! We received nothing but compliments from cocktail hour. We had about 200 people attend our wedding, which filled the ballroom comfortably! Plenty of room to move about and enjoy. Everything is planned down to a science. All the food was displayed so beautifully and it was SO good. So many people raved about the red snapper! The night moves so incredibly quickly you don't even realize whats going on half the time but let me tell you, not once was my glass empty. This place really focuses on the little details. We had the Viennese for dessert where an entire different room opened. People were SHOCKED. This may have been my favorite part. The wall behind where the head table was has mirrors on it, but the wall opens up. People thought it was a reflection until the sparklers went off and the room was fully open showcasing amazing dessert stations and another open bar. It really just blows your mind how much you're getting. The Grove is worth every single penny. We got married in January 2018, people are still constantly raving about our wedding. Our wedding wouldn't be anything without The Grove and their awesome team. This venue skyrockets above the rest. 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. You two are insanely good at your jobs. Thank you all for the best wedding we could have ever imaginedLove Kristen & Kamil Nieroda

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.

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.

That's when I met Jason S. who found us a date and held our hand the whole way through. He helped us find vendors and gave us advice whenever we needed it. All the attention we were given still did not prepare me for how amazing our wedding was. First off we were welcomed at 10am with a breakfast and Ashley. You must request Ashley as your bridal attendant. She fixed things before they were broken. If a tear fell she caught it, she was attentive and helpful. My lipstick was reapplied, dress was constantly being fixed, she even helped our photgrapher out! I am definitely not doing her justice as she was my best friend throughout the wedding. The maitre D kept us all on track and made sure everything ran like a well oiled machine from before the ceremony right until the end! The rooms we got ready in where upscale and comfortable. I really felt like a princess all day. The cocktail hour is one of the best Ive ever been to. There was so much to eat, drink and see that people did not want it to end. The entrance with sparklers was awesome and made it grand. I was unhappy with the bakery not making my cake sparkle and next thing I know the maitre d and ashley had made it sparkle. The food is out of this world, the people are kind , helpful ,and attentive. Jason threw in a few extras that made it that much more unique such as passed zeppoles!! I can go on and on. People have been contacting me since the wedding to tell me it was one of the best weddings they have been too, the best venue they have been at, the best cocktail hour, the best food and the nicest staff they have seen!!

The best decision my husband and I made was choosing the Grove as our venue. We just had our wedding there 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 apply my lipstick, bring me drinks, made sure I eat, and of course made sure I was okay. 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.

I can't even begin to explain how perfect my wedding day was with the help of the staff at the Grove. First off, Andrew, truly amazing. He was so easy to work with and truly a professional. I sent him numerous emails over the course of the year and there was not one he missed. He answered every single question I had plus some. Now the day of the wedding - my bridesmaids and myself got ready at the Grove (an early start of 6:30am). 2 weeks later, I can't stop talking about my bridal attendant Ashley. HANDS DOWN SIMPLY AMAZING!!! She did not leave my side - she steamed my gown for me, she held my lipstick for the entire night, she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs from the bus when I arrived for cocktail hour, she made sure I ate and drank water throughout the day, she gave me wet rags to cool off with when I was hot. I can't even stress how amazing the ENTIRE staff was this day. My father can not stop talking about Raul and how he made him feel like royalty. He made sure my parent's ate their meals, saw the cocktail hour room before the guests, if they wanted a drink he got it for them. And with me, Raul made sure myself and my husband were happy the entire night - seeing the ballroom before the guests, if we wanted to change anything before hand, made sure we ate, continued to ask us throughout the night if we needed anything. I couldn't imagine our night without Raul and Ashley.The food was amazing! Cocktail hour and the main course. People keep complimenting our wedding and that they've never been to a wedding quite like ours and how incredible the whole night was.

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 always there with lip stick and hairspray keeping my look up to par. Always there with a drink like she would read my mind when I was parched, kept my stomach full up until ceremony time so I wouldn’t feel faint, kept lipstick off my teeth, helped me pose in pictures, sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses that ripped, and that isn’t even half of it. She was priceless, and my husband said Andrew was the exact same. Andrew was feeding the groomsman, supplying drinks and sewing buttons. My family and guests could not STOP RAVING about the service at the grove. Their food is out of this world and in such abundance! The staff asked everyone if they wanted a second entrée, and would cover up their food the moment they would step away so it wouldn’t get cold. We also did the passed Viennese desserts which numerous people commented on the abundance and quality as well. Everything was out of this world amazing and easily unmatchable by any other venue. We would highly recommend the grove to anyone who wants to have the most amazing, lavish, memorable day that they could possibly ask for. Thank you so much to the Grove and all the staff for giving us easily the best day of our lives! We wouldn’t change a single thing about our day and it’s all because of you!

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 !

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 !!

I cannot begin to describe how exceptional our wedding at the Grove was. The 5 star reviews are just a preview of the service that they provide. It has been 3 weeks post wedding and we are still getting calls and emails raving about the beautiful facility, excellent staff and DELICIOUS food. STAFF: the staff is well trained and able to execute a large event. This was noted by so many of our guests. Special mention to Raul - he is amazing and knows what he is doing when it comes to events. I am so grateful he was there for us. All of the direction we provided him for set up and night of was completed to perfection.Additionally, Nicole was my day of coordinator. At first I wasn't sure why I would need one, but she really proved her value to me and I can't imagine not having her! She was there with water all day and a cold towel during the event when I got hot from dancing. She made sure my hair was positioned well in photos, bustled my dress, took me to the bathroom, made sure I had food, packed up my bag for me and even fixed my make up when needed. Both she and Raul ensured our lunch deliveries were set up for us and that we had all that we needed. I am blown away by the two of them and so thankful they were apart of the day. FOOD: everyone we spoke to commented on the broad variety & delicious taste of the food - even dinner. Despite cooking for a huge group, they do not lose out on flavor! My only comments to potential brides/grooms/families out there is to make sure you keep everything super organized and communicate with The Grove - as with any venue. Our food tasting included a lot of non Kosher items even though we specified at the time of signing our contract that the wedding would be Kosher style, which was a bit disappointing, but truthfully didn't have any impact on our wedding day. I would also have liked to get a little more communication from the Grove regarding when to expect to do food tasting etc. Once I reached out to them, they were great, but I thought they would have reached out to me first. Again, it all worked out fine and I couldn't be happier! If you are interested in the Grove..... don't hesitate! You will not be disappointed!

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!!

We had our wedding at the grove on Sunday 4/30/17 and could not be more pleased with how everything turned out! If I could personally design a wedding assistant, it still would not come close to Raul. From the very beginning he was incredibly helpful, nice, and accommodating! He made plannning a wedding for 250 people seem like a walk in the park, and everything turned out more perfect than anything I could've ever imagined! We dealt with Raul from the very beginning and he coordinated everything and it was FLAWLESS!!! The day of, we were also greeted by the sweetest and most helpful woman named Ashley, she was never more than a couple feet from me throughout the entire reception, making sure I was attended to. She thought of EVERYTHING to make sure my night was perfect and I was comfortable. At one point, my hair had gotten out of place and she (literally) pulled out hair spray and bobby pins from her back pocket to fix my hair! Before I could even realize that I needed something, she was right there to provide it for me. Raul and Ashley were the most perfect team we could've ever dreamed of!! The hall was absolutely BREATHTAKING. The people at the grove take on a whole new meaning of paying attention to detail! Everything is clean, sleek, and just gorgeous. Every single staff member was professional and attentive. They made sure you were aware that no request was unattainable. The chef, Anthony, truly outdid himself! I come from a huge family of picky eaters, and every single person was raving about the food. My father was also extremely impressed with the fact that Anthony went over to him personally to introduce himself! I can go on and on about how truly amazing everything was- I would recommend this place to every person possible!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE The Grove!!!

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!

There are many venues in the NY/NJ area, but for us, The Grove had it all. What a stunning venue, and wonderful people. First of all, thank you Jason for booking this wedding for us, and understanding exactly what we wanted. Thank you Christina for the constant emails and phone calls and your availability. We never had to wait to get a response from her. Thank you Ashley for being my bridal attendant, and doing everything for me that day. Thank you to all the waiters and bartenders that day, who were so professional and gave outstanding service for our guests. The cocktail hour was everything we wanted. Every station looked perfect and people cannot stop talking about the Mexican station, with the tequila ice bar. That is a MUST for anyone getting married at the Grove. Thank you to the chef for the amazing food. My guests are still talking about the Filet Mignon and Baked Cod, and even the cauliflower steaks! But the STAR of the Grove is RAUL. WOW. There was nobody better than him that day and nobody should have a wedding without him. Weddings can be so overwhelming and stressful, but he was exactly what we needed that day. He had eyes in the back of his head throughout the entire night and knew every single thing that was going on. There just aren't enough words to really describe how grateful we are to have had him on the biggest day of our lives. It really wouldn't have been the same without him! Now, with the good, there are a few minor bad things that I do have to mention. My fiancé and his groomsmen were able to get ready in the little cottage that the Grove has. It was amazing. Him and his friends couldn't stop talking about how great Jason, the grooms attendant was. Thank you Jason! That house was in immaculate shape, very well maintained. Fully stocked with food and beverages, complete coffee and tea station. It was cleaned and serviced throughout! The bridal suite, on the other hand wasn’t as good. The food area was never serviced. Dirty napkins, plates, etc. were not removed. Empty food platters were not removed. Glasses were not replaced and the water was not refilled. When the entire bridal party and parents went into that room for the Ketubah signing, it really looked like a disaster. Other than that, we still had a perfect day and are so happy we picked to get married at the Grove! Thank you to the staff for everything that day!-Inna & Austin Traina

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. We heard great things about the food and read several reviews, but it still exceeded expectations. Every single guest mentioned the delicious food from the cocktail hour, sit down dinner, and beautiful viennese spread. We were even able to work with an Indian caterer for some of the dishes the cocktail hour and dinner. We hope to be invited to a wedding there soon so we can enjoy the food even more. The Grove would be a perfect place for an upcoming wedding. Just a quick warning/word to the wise: book as soon as possible! This venue seems to schedule events quickly so do not waste time visiting too many places. Our advice is to start with The Grove. We hope that you all will have the same fairy tale story at the end.

My husband and I got married at The Grove on 12/30/2016. Words cannot even describe how amazing every aspect of our wedding was! We planned our wedding while living in London and the entire time Jason and Christina made us feel like we weren't abroad. They were both extremely responsive to us and did everything possible to make the day everything we dreamed of. No matter what we talked about with them it seemed as though nothing was impossible, whether it was breakfast and mimosas while I was getting ready, adding the selection of beers we requested or making sure the star fruit garnish for our signature cocktail was ordered (with Jason even coming up with the cocktail name!). Our maitre d's, George and Raul, were also great - from our initial meeting with George 2 months before the wedding, our last meeting 2 days before, and during the entire day. They made sure they knew the exact placement of every item we brought in during our final meeting, making notes of everything, which reassured me it would all be perfect. I unfortunately spilled wine on myself during the reception and the moment Raul saw the look of disappointment on my face he ran over and immediately called for my bridal attendant on his headpiece to get the stain removed. Our parents and immediate family were also treated with this same service, never even having to get their own food or drinks. Ashley, the bridal attendant, was phenomenal! From the moment I walked in the morning of our wedding she had a plate of breakfast and coffee for me and the service didn't stop all day. She set up all my jewellery, shoes, garter, etc. for photos, reapplied my lipstick, bobby pinned my hair, and fluffed my dress for every single photo. Even just chatting with her all morning made me feel great and calmed all my pre-church jitters! Multiple guests asked where I had booked Ashley and I was so happy to say she is another amazing employee at The Grove. The Grove cocktail hour is out of this world and every guest loved it. The Mexican station was a huge hit! We really enjoyed seeing guests at the tequila luge, being served shots and having a great time. Every other station was decorated in its theme and this could not go unnoticed. Having a Viennese room was my one big reception requirement and The Grove's blew us away. There wasn't a dessert our guests couldn't get! We added on the fireworks to our package, which absolutely stunned everyone when the doors to the Viennese room opened, as well as when my husband and I walked down the stairs for our initial entrance. This is not something you see at just any venue! Nearly every guest we had has said it was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to and that can be attributed to the impeccable service at The Grove, attention to detail and overall beautiful venue!

Andrew, our wedding coordinator, made sure every detail that my daughter and son in law wanted was accomplished, and then some. He was always easily reachable and helped to make the planning so easy.

Raul made sure everything ran smoothly. I had no worries with Andrew and Raul around. I enjoyed every second of my daughter's wedding.

The cocktail hour was unbelievable (every guest we spoke to confessed that it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever seen), and the food throughout the cocktail hour and reception was delicious and plentiful. We had extremely high expectations in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and the staff at The Grove far surpassed our expectations on our wedding day. Raul, our maitre d’, made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met him. He was always one step ahead when planning for the wedding as well as on the wedding day. You can tell that Raul genuinely loves his job – he was just as excited as our guests throughout the entire day. Raul runs the show – he was the reason we had such a flawless wedding day. My bridal attendant, Ashley, was incredibly attentive and catered to our every need. From making sure we had water during our pictures and drinks during the reception, to corseting and fluffing my dress and even re-applying my make-up, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the day without her. The rest of the staff was professional and did a great job attending to our guests.We can confidently say that we had the wedding of our dreams, thanks to the staff at 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 Grove is an EXCEPTIONAL venue! The entire building is gorgeous, right down to the bathrooms. The staff also exceeded our expectations. From the moment we met with Jason we felt comfortable and knew we would be given a fantastic evening. On the day of, my bridesmaids, family, and I got ready all day at The Grove. We were treated like royalty. Everyone who was with us throughout the day was extremely professional and amazing at their job but also personable and kind. Maggie, my bridal attendant knew what I wanted/needed before I even asked for it. She was so sweet, helpful, and comforting. I don't think I would have felt so calm without her! Raul, our Maitre D' was also unbelievable! He is SO good at what he does and you can tell he genuinely enjoys it. I was hot after photos outside and when we came in he had frozen towels ready for us to cool us down! He had everything in place, I never had to worry that something could go wrong. My husband and I felt completely at ease with our wedding in their hands. We have had nothing but compliments from the guests about the exceptional service, the amazing food, and the kindness of the staff. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, look no further. They are worth every penny!

I could go on and on about our experience at The Grove but I will say it was a DREAM COME TRUE wedding for my hubby and I. Everything was top-notch, from the food, to the staff, to the venue itself. You will not be disappointed with The Grove!The only flaw was we went through a handful of people who were supposed to be handling our wedding (which made me super nervous in the beginning). Then our handler had a special opportunity last minute and asked me if I minded if she went. She assured me I would be in good hands. I thought it was very kind that she asked me but at the same time I was a little disappointed that now I would be working with a 4th person right before my wedding. My worries were put to ease when we met with Jason. He was great! Everything went according to plan and all was fine. However, it did make me uncomfortable and made me have a lack of confidence in them prior to the wedding.Special shout-out to my bridal attendant, Ashley, she was AMAZING. I felt like absolute royalty from the beginning right to the end of the night. We were married in July so she made sure I was hydrated, she carried around my lip gloss and foundation for touch-ups. She blotted my neck with a cool towel because we were taking pictures outside. She brought my flip flops because my feet were hurting. She helped us pack everything away at the end of the night. She was literally at our beck and call the entire night. Her service was outstanding!All in all, I was blown away by The Grove and their services. I would definitely recommend to others! Go check it out!

My husband and I were married on 7/22/2016 and cannot stop gushing to everyone about how amazing our experience with the Grove was. Not only that, but our guests continue to call, e-mail and text us about what an incredible night they had! Christina, Jason, Raul, Ashley and the rest of the team made us and our guests feel like absolute royalty. The entire Grove team is incredibly professional and friendly! Throughout the planning process it felt like we were working with good friends who had our best interests in mind. Not only is the staff top notch, but the facility is unbelievable! A couple of highlights include a luxurious bridal suite (actually MULTIPLE suites), a grand staircase in the ballroom for your big entrance as husband and wife, an incredible ambiance with the up lighting that is included (yes, included at no extra charge!) in the ball room and of course a delicious assortment of food (especially the sprawling Viennese hour). I wish I could relive the night over and over again – it was truly my dream wedding at the Grove!

My wife and I had our wedding here this weekend. From the moment we arrived for our first viewing of the hall right up until the very end, the experience we had was perfect. We were treated with the upmost respect, curtesy, and appreciation through out the whole process. Jason is a great guy, and went above and beyond to give my wife and I everything we wanted and then some. We were treated like we were part of the family at The Grove, and not a customer. I can't come close to expressing how grateful I am for all of the work they did for us in a review. As for the venue itself, it is worth every penny. We had 265 guest, and they are all RAVING about the food, service, and appearance of the venue. It is not catering hall food, it is like being in an upscale restaraunt in Manhattan. The Filet Mignon was better than most restaraunts that serve it, and the food is not just thrown on a plate. They take the time to dress it up and make the plate look as good as it taste. The decoration, effects, everything was not like anything I've ever seen and I have been to all of the big halls in NJ and nothing comes close to The Grove. Not to mention the way they treat you - FIRST CLASS the whole time. The staff is amazing. They go above and beyond for the guest - our bridal attendant Ashley, took such great care of my wife the whole night. Aside from our guest raving about the food - they were extemely impressed with the service as well. Each table had 2 waiters and none of our guest were left thirsty, with a dirty plate, or even an unfolded napkin the whole night. Coming from 2 big families mainly from Brooklyn and using venues out there - we've heard multiple people say they will be using the Grove after our wedding - that's how impressed they were with everything. If you're on the fence about anything, I'm urging you to go with The Grove - from service, to the food, to the experience you will have you will not be disappointed. They made sure our night went off smoothly, and was everything my wife and I wanted, and expected. If there was a 10 star option, I would select that. For Most of us, it's the biggest party we will throw - The Grove will give you everything you want your night to be, then multiplied by five.

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.

Where do we even start?? The Grove truly made our wedding the most memorable & extraordinary experience, more than we could've ever imagined. Thank you to Dan, who went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT - it was all we wanted and more, making sure everything we needed and requested was in place. Dan even went as far as helping us with an situation had with our hotel booked, and accommodated our entire bridal party to arrive extra early at the Grove to utilize the BREATHTAKING BRIDAL SUITES to get ready in, which by the way came out absolutely stunning in our pictures. We had never been to a wedding at the Grove, but saw the photos and reviews online and were blown away when we went there to see it for the first time. The ambiance and feeling when you walk through the doors of this venue were one which you can’t describe unless you see it in person, we met with Dan who made us feel right at home, and we left that afternoon booking our wedding date. We never once felt pressured - it was the EASIEST process and we just knew there was no other venue we even wanted to see for our wedding day after seeing The Grove. Raul and 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 and that every single guest had plates filled of food and 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 and perfect. The staff knew who both parents of the bride and groom were, as well as grandparents, aunts, uncles and bridal party - in which the went above and beyond for the entire night. Amanda, our bridal attendant stayed by my side the entire night ensuring we tried every item at our cocktail hour and 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 and everything in between - we loved her and don't know what we would've done without her. Thank you Amanda, your the sweetest and most professional girl and I will never forget all you did for me that day and night. The food was spectacular!!!! Our guests were raving about everything! The food was out of this world!! 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, literally not a thing. 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. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a venue to get married. You will not be disappointed. Sending love to all of those involved in making our special day everything we could've dreamed of ♥ MARZORATI WEDDING was one for the books & a day we wish we could re-live over & over again. We are hopeful that we will be able to be guests at a future Grove wedding, it was simply spectacular.

Overall, this is a great place. Venue is stunning, food is amazing, service day-off is impeccable. It was a very special day. However, leading up the wedding, we weren't getting timely responses to questions. Also, the information gathering was very old-fashioned filling out different forms which felt very unorganized and confusing. It could just be industry standard, that with weekly weddings, a venue won't give you their full attention until a week before. We just didn't have that feeling that we were an important client at times. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. Just stay on the top of the sales people during the preparation phase and you will be fine. When it comes to making your special day close to perfect, The Grove is your choice!

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!\r 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!\r 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!\rIts 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!\r \r

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.

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 this past 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. \r\rNow 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!\rThe vienesse hour was the highlight of our wedding! Everyone is still talking about it. It included any type of dessert you could possibly imagine. Deciding to include this was one of the smartest decisions we made!\r

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 Chukovsky, who was absolutely incredible! I am a Russian-Jew with a large Russian family and my husband is a typical American white boy from Pennsylvania so you can only imagine the cultural clash there! Jason went out of his way to make sure to incorporate traditions from both of our backgrounds and to make sure our wedding was perfect. We met with Jason multiple times and he did everything he could to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. Jason, I will take this moment to let the whole world know that I love you and appreciate you! (LOL) \r\rI 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, our Matiere De, were essentially our wedding planners and they ran the show like serious professionals. The day of the wedding my mom and I did nothing other than look pretty. They organized EVERYTHING and left us nothing to worry about. Our DJ’s, officiants, photographers and videographers all listened and followed Raul’s instructions. They literally did not miss a beat and all the guests noticed how great the timing on everything was! \r\rBecause we had an interfaith ceremony, our ceremony was also located at The Grove. 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! I love you Raul!!!!\r\rThe service is also literally to die for!!! My bridal attendant, Amanda, who was with me from 10:00AM 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 groomsman, was not only taking care of the groomsman but he was taking care of me too! \r\rDuring the reception, all of our guests were ranting and raving how great the service was and how their drinks were never empty. Now onto the food . . . everyone was literally stunned by how delicious all the food was! Cocktail house was literally to die for and the selection of food was amazing! Cocktail hour was a huge hit as was the Viennese Desert Hour. The food was literally amazing and no one left hungry!\r\rThank you to everyone at The Grove for making our wedding such an amazing experience!

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!\r\rRaul our Maître ‘D was wonderful!

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. I had complete trust in him and his staff and was NOT disappointed.\r\rIf you are looking for a fairytale wedding venue, with food that be talked about for years to come, and a staff that will make your day perfect, choose The Grove!!
