The Grande At Kennesaw

I loved the Grande immediately because they have really transparent pricing and a beautiful venue. We ended up choosing a wedding date on a Sunday and on an off month (end of February) to save a bit of money. I was worried about weather, but they have space to do the ceremony indoors if needed. Luckily we didn't and it was a beautiful day, but it was really nice to have that option. So much is included, like all the little decorations you don't think of until later (like a card box, cake stand, a place to hang table cards, etc.), a floral allowance, the cake, and more. Their florists are AMAZING and I adored the bouquets. They offer affordable decor rentals (if you want to rent - we did). I loved that they allow you to purchase your own alcohol so we could do an open bar for our guests and not spend a crazy amount. But by far the best part of the whole experience was the people who work here. Everyone in the office is amazing and kind and knowledgeable. My day-of coordinator was Riley, who was absolutely phenomenal, I can't even say enough about what a helpful and calming presence she was. I kept worrying about what I should be worrying about, and Riley would just say she had it under control. And she absolutely did, the day went by so smoothly. Grace was our bartender for the event and she was perfect, and also such a kind and lovely person. A lot of our guests commented on how great they both were. We had LeNard as our DJ, and he was absolutely perfect too. We gave him some personal song choices and he filled in the rest. I have never danced at a wedding in my life, and I didn't even think I would at my own, but somehow I ended up having a blast on the dance floor by the end of the night. One of our guests even had a little Dirty Dancing moment when LeNard played The Time of My Life, which was one of the highlights for me. I loved my reception so much. TLDR: Everyone here is amazing, I strongly recommend.
