I loved The Grove Resort. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The Manager Melody Martinez was the best. Even though we booked two years in advance, she was helpful all the way through to the wedding day. Any questions I had, she was there to help. She even made me see that since I was planning and coordinating my wedding, I would need help because I wouldn't be able to do it all. I am so happy I listened. I absolutely loved my very special day. Thanks to Melody and all the staff at The Grove Resort. Reviewed on 24-09-2023
Erika Schaeffer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-02-2023 My husband and I got married at The Grove Resort last weekend. We found the Resort online a year ago when looking for a destination wedding venue. Melody was the person we were in contact with since the beginning and she helped us through the whole planning process. I could not have planned the wedding without all of her help. In addition to Melody, several staff members helped make our wedding day perfect. Gavin and Cheyenne were incredible at setting things up exactly as planned. It was such a relief not having to worry about set up and take down. The chef did an incredible job with the food. We received several compliments on the food from our guests. All of the Grove staff was incredibly helpful and I would highly recommend them for your wedding! We will be back to visit! Reviewed on 17-02-2023

Lauren Hurley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-02-2022 My husband and I recently got married at the Grove Resort Orlando. It was an amazing day and we wouldn’t change a thing. The resort provided a beautiful backdrop and was so convenient (and fun) for our guests. Everyone raved about the food and service for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout. We know our wedding day would not have been as smooth without the Sales Manager Melody Martinez. Melody was our “go to” person for everything leading up to the wedding and our day of coordinator. She was organized, easy to get in touch with, and efficient. Melody was a pleasure to work with and we felt comfortable and confident that our day would go as planned. Reviewed on 30-03-2022
Elisa Keck(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 The Grove was the perfect wedding venue! Melody made the wedding planning process fun and enjoyable for my husband and I. We truly had the wedding weekend of our dreams. The Grove hosted all of our family from out of town, and we had a weekend filled with activities. We had the Rehearsal Friday with Melody and her team, and then we all enjoyed the cabanas by the pool and waterpark. The wedding was on Saturday, and Melody planned an amazing after party by the pool once the wedding was over. Sunday, we had a farewell brunch in the ballroom. From the moment I met with Melody, she was organized, and was always available to speak about any questions I had. Her positive attitude and energy made our wedding. In fact, all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how excellent the food was, and how attentive Melody and all staff at the Grove was. We could not be happier with our wedding. Thank you Melody and all staff at the Grove. I would recommend the Grove to any couple! Reviewed on 08-12-2021
Alyssa T(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2021 All brides must STAY AWAY from this venue. Sandy and Melody (the \"wedding coordinators\") were absolutely horrible to work with prior to the wedding but even worse on the day of the wedding. Sandy verbally attacked the mother of the bride in front of other vendors. It was not only embarrassing but so disgraceful that other vendors contacted the bride to report the incident immediately. The food served at the wedding was different from the food agreed upon at the tasting at pursuant to the contract. The tables were not set up as the diagram specified, which created more work for the wedding party the day of the wedding. You will pay an obscene amount of money for a beautiful venue completely ruined by the coordinators. Reviewed on 25-09-2021
Chelsea L'Heureux(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-11-2020 The Grove Resort Orlando was the first venue that we toured. We LOVED it as soon as we drove up into the resort! There are so many beautiful spots on site. We got married on the Lake Austin pier. The cocktail hour was outside in a gorgeous courtyard, and out reception was inside. We love how close all of the locations are to each other. Sandy and Christine were very helpful and always responded to emails or phone calls very quickly! The food at our wedding was wonderful- all of our guests came up to us throughout the night saying how much they loved the food. One of the biggest appeals to us about this venue was how convenient everything is! Guests were able to stay in rooms at the huge resort and not have to worry about traveling to or from the wedding. We highly recommend The Grove Resort if you are looking for a beautiful and convenient venue for your wedding! Reviewed on 09-11-2020
Kristen Basant(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2019 Ricky Martin at the Grove Resort and Spa in Orlando was hands down incredible to work with. He was available, attentive, and just so accommodating before and on wedding day. His one goal was to make sure I was happy and to help me refocus anytime I was stressed. I think one of the best parts for me was when he was with us right before and after the ceremony. We needed his support more than anything mainly because we didn't want to stress our own families during the process (we didn't have a wedding party). The Grove Resort itself is a beautiful lake location and I hope future couples consider this venue not only for the service and care that they provide but also to experience the breathtaking lake view that is offered on Lake Austin. Our wedding ceremony was stunning!!! Reviewed on 07-03-2020

The scenery is so bright and relaxing, the staff is so well mannered, respectful, and helpful. We are so happy with our choice of choosing The Grove to have our wedding. Their wedding package was one like no other, especially with it being a destination wedding for us. All of my guests had a great experience checking into their rooms, getting their bags to their rooms, and being a part of our big day. RICKY is AMAZING. He stayed with us every step of the way. He is so great at what he does. All of the staff that worked at our wedding was very outstanding and helpful. The Grove truly made our wedding day one to remember. Wonderful Resort!
