My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary there. OMG!!! Let me start with the staff. AMAZING!!! my wife had an attendant, her name was shaden. She was beyond incredible. She was always attentive to my wife. She made sure what ever she needed was provided. The maitre' D Vas was also AMAZING!!! his attention to making sure everything flowed with the program was impeccable. As for me my attendant about was incredible. He made sure my tuxedo was on point. Took care of my groomsmen, and made sure that what ever I needed was tended to. Now I save the best for last. The event manager Raul Ruiz. From the first day we met him, he welcomed us with open arms. Took the time to explain all the packages according to your budget. He even surprised us with the decoration for our reception. That blew us away. He was very attentive made sure the program ran perfectly and took the time to enjoy the festivities with us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a venue to celebrate any occasion. If you visit ask to speak to Raul. I will definitely be going back to celebrate another event. Thank you so much Raul and the Grove for making our special occasion one to remember.

I recently attended my sister’s wedding at this venue, and the experience was exceptional. The management team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication, ensuring that all aspects of the event were well-coordinated from the beginning. Amy and her staff were attentive and efficient, ensuring the event proceeded smoothly without any issues. I highly recommend this venue for hosting a variety of events.

The staff, service and venue were all 10/10. Exceptional service and beautiful venue. This is the 3rd wedding in 7 years I’ve been to at the grove and it’s been a ponderous every time

Exceptional Event Experience at The Grove

I recently hosted an event at The Grove, and it exceeded every expectation thanks to Site Director Amy and her phenomenal team. Amy’s professionalism, organization, and calm leadership made the entire experience seamless. She coordinated every detail with precision and brought our vision to life effortlessly.

The venue itself is stunning, but it’s the team that truly sets it apart. Every staff member was attentive, friendly, and on-point from start to finish. From planning through execution, Amy ensured everything ran flawlessly.

If you're looking for a beautiful space backed by exceptional service, I highly recommend The Grove—and Amy in particular. She made our event not just successful, but unforgettable.

An Unforgettable Experience at The Grove – Thanks to Amy and Her Incredible Team

I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at The Grove, and I cannot express enough how exceptional the entire experience was. From start to finish, the professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail demonstrated by Site Director Amy and her team were truly outstanding.

Amy is the kind of leader every event host dreams of working with. Her calm, confident coordination ensured that everything ran smoothly—from pre-event planning to the very last guest departure. She anticipated needs before they even arose, offered thoughtful suggestions to elevate the experience, and handled every detail with remarkable precision and grace.

The Grove itself is a stunning venue—elegant yet welcoming, with beautifully maintained grounds and versatile spaces that brought our vision to life effortlessly. The ambiance speaks for itself, but it’s Amy’s stewardship that makes the space shine. Every staff member we interacted with mirrored her energy: kind, capable, and fully invested in making the event a success.

Whether it was technical setup, guest flow, timing, or service—everything was seamless. I’ve hosted events in many venues, but few compare to the level of coordination and care we experienced here. Amy and The Grove team didn’t just help us execute an event; they helped us create something memorable.

I can’t recommend The Grove—and Amy as its heart and soul—highly enough. If you’re looking for a venue that blends beauty with flawless execution, look no further.

We had the honor of getting married at The Grove on 07/25/25. It was the best decision we could have made. Of course the venue is absolutely gorgeous, but there were so many other reasons why were were thrilled with our decision.

PROS
- Raul was amazing. He very knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. He also customized our cocktail hour by including components from each of our cultures. It was a great personal touch for our guests. He was very responsive and helped us throughout our journey with his recommendations and advice. Maggie was also very responsive and nice!
- The service is amazing. Shayden was by my side all day and really took care of me. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I will always remember her support and kindness on my wedding day. She cared for me like I was her family. I could not say enough kind words to express how amazing she was and how much I appreciated having her by my side.
- The cocktail hour is outstanding. All of our guests were blown away. The amount of stations, quality of the food and the spacious and beautiful space really puts it over the top. Some of our guests even thought that cocktail hour was 'dinner'!
- Ballroom and the lobby also stunning! Love the staircases in the lobby and in the ballroom. Was perfect for pictures and our entrance.
- Dinner was delicious. Chef really knows what he is doing and prepares high quality food.
- The Viennese dessert - so fantastic. Everyone LOVED it and the dramatics of revealing it. It was a great surprise for our guests. We purchased to go boxes so that our guests could take treats back home (this was a recommendation from Raul). You should def do this if you opt for the Viennese. There is so much food and I loved the dessert cocktails. Also, the Viennese section and the main ballroom becomes one big space. This is really helpful because guests don't get pulled away from the party and miss the last portion of the evening.

CONS
- None. We are so happy we chose The Grove for our wedding. Would recommend it to all!

From the moment of pulling up to the venue i knew the experience awaiting inside was going to be special. The ambiance, the level of service, professionalism and attention to details were all in order. Lavish grounds wrap around the outside with mini gardens embedded. The inside is tasty decorated with just enough without being too much. The food offered during cocktail hr. was steady with each new bite teasing the palate in a very good way. The servers were highly skilled and trained. I was very very impressed. The reception room changed 3 times from cocktail hr to buffet to deserts and cordials each transformed quickly and elegantly again with attention to details. The entire staff and MGMT from valet to chefs and servers deserve a 5 star standing ovation for a perfect performance.
