Words from our brides...
"Right from the moment we drove into the archway of trees by the entrance, we knew there was something special about this place! There is a lot to be said about The Grove, but to sum it up, there is no other place we would have felt more cared for, cherished, and secure than at The Grove for our wedding."

"As soon as we drove up to the venue, I knew it was meant to be. I fell in love with the beautiful scenery, the gorgeous tree tunnel entrance to the venue that made for stunning bride and groom pictures, the outdoor intimate ceremony area, and all the little details in the bridal suite and reception hall. But not only was it gorgeous, their team was the kindest!"
-Brittany
"The Grove is a special place – it is something you can feel as soon as you enter the tree lined driveway – the trees just welcome you with a hug when you arrive (and can we talk about the AMAZING photos they make?)."

Words from our brides...
"I really loved the bridal suite because it was so spacious and had mirrors all around and was fully furnished! We had a make up artist, a hair stylist, myself, 6 bridesmaids, a flower girl, a photographer, and my mother and mother in law all in the suite and we had plenty of room to get ready and relax!"
- Angela
"The bridal room is to die for!! I loved that we had so much space and were able to just hang out there until it was show time. I just can't say enough about this location. I fell in love with The Grove just by looking at the pictures and even more so once I got to visit. Trust me, you will not regret choosing The Grove!"

Next Stop: Road to Ceremony and Reception
- A Scenic Drive -
The Bridal Suite is in its own building completely private from Ceremony and Reception Sites. This means you will not have any accidental run-ins with any guests or your soon-to-be spouse! Once it's time for the ceremony, the Bridal Suite to the Ceremony Site is just a quick drive away. On the drive over, catch a sneak peak of the Reception Sites and the treehouse!
- The Treehouse -
The Treehouse is The Grove's hidden gem. Many people do not know about it until they are here in person! It is the perfect spot for romantic couples portraits. It also is surrounded by a meadow that gets vibrant wildflowers in the Spring and Summer! In Winter and Fall, the grasses remain tall and natural making it very picturesque.
Next Stop: Ceremony Site
- Ceremony Entrance -
The Ceremony Site is quietly nestled within the forest. The natural beauty is so dreamy and romantic. Guests will enter through gorgeous trees into a welcome space. Many couples personalize this space by adding welcome signage, a welcome table and a greeter/usher. This welcome space flows seamlessly to the entrance arbor. The entrance arbor marks the start of the aisle where you and your bridal party will line up and start the processional. This arbor comes beautifully draped with ivory curtains. It can be additionally dressed up and further customized with greenery, floral or ribbon.
The Grove's guest parking is just steps away from the Ceremony Site entrance. The thick forest surrounding the Ceremony Site keeps this out of sight from pictures. The best of both worlds!
- Ceremony Aisle -
Once you walk through the entrance arbor, there is a gorgeous aisle. The aisle allows for the perfect amount of time for precious moments to be captured such as your reaction and your spouse's reaction to seeing each other. You can add personal touches down the aisle such as floral arrangements, LED candles, vintage rugs, signs and so much more.
- Ceremony Benches -
Guests will be seated on stunning, handcrafted cedar benches.
The wooden benches add to the natural feel of the Ceremony Site!
- Ceremony Arbor -
The Ceremony Site features a unique, custom built ceremony arbor. The ceremony arbor is wrapped with vines and branches foraged from The Grove's forest. It is the perfect backdrop for this natural setting. It is so easy to personalize!
Whether your colors are bold, bright, moody or subtle...
Whether your style is boho, rustic, classic, or modern...
Whether your wedding is Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter...
Whether you like florals, greenery, drapery or nothing at all...
The Grove's Ceremony Site is for you!
Worried about it being a little chilly or warm?
A welcome table with cozy blankets is a sweet surprise for guests in the Winter.
A water station and personal fans for guests in the Summer is a perfect addition!
Words from our brides...
