The Grove at Centerton

oming, and so thoughtfully designed. What really sealed the deal, though, was meeting our wedding coordinator, Kate Kelly. She was kind, attentive, and completely on top of every detail from day one. We immediately felt like we were in the best hands. Kate truly went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. She was always quick to respond, endlessly patient with our questions, and somehow made the whole planning process feel stress-free. On the big day, she was calm, confident, and so incredibly thoughtful—quietly working behind the scenes to make sure everything flowed perfectly so we could be fully present and soak it all in. The entire staff at The Grove was just as wonderful. Every single person we interacted with was warm, helpful, and genuinely kind—not only to us, but to our guests too. Several people told us afterward how impressed they were by the friendliness and professionalism of the team. It made the whole day feel even more special. The food was absolutely delicious, the space looked magical, and everything flowed so effortlessly—it was truly the best day of our lives. We feel so lucky to have gotten married at The Grove, and we’re beyond grateful to Kate Kelly and the entire team for making it all happen.

his was the venue. We were greeted by Luis and had the most informational tour with him, everyone here makes you feel like you're a part of their family. After touring six venues in the area, we were very overwhelmed. Luis gave us all the information we needed to be planning our wedding and made us feel so comfortable with our million questions we had. We were a short-term booking (6 months) and our coordinators Kate and Jess jumped right in on details, and we were invited to their tasting event. One word...AMAZING. The effort this team puts into tastings is absolutely incredible and we had no idea we were invited for such a treat. There was live music, the room was set how it would be for a wedding, floral centerpieces from recommended vendors on every table, and a photobooth to add to the fun. After our tasting we got right to planning with the amazing coordination team. Kate and Jess were so meticulous with every detail and we knew our big day was in the right hands. We visited the property a few times as we are fairly local and every time, we met someone new in their office we were always handled with care. One of the sales managers Tori was there to help with our final payment and was so patient answering some final questions we had. Fast forward to our wedding day and we were completely speechless. The food was to die for, our guests are still raving about it! Kate made sure we always had a drink in our hands and Jess was there to bustle my dress and help with our vendors arriving so I could enjoy my time getting ready in the bridal suite. If you are in the search for a venue for any type of event, I would look no further than The Grove at Centerton!

so perfect. Kate was our main coordinator, but we also had the chance to work with Luis, Krista, and Jess, and they were fantastic. I'd recommend this venue to everyone I know.

oother. The food is amazing- we have received endless compliments about both the cocktail hour food and main meal! If I could have party here every year I would!

were the best hors d’oeuvres of the night! The way the ballroom was set up so was beautiful and the sweetheart table was better than we imagined. I wish I could relive our special day over snd over! I cannot recommend this venue enough! All of our guests had a great time and complimented everything. All the staff made sure we were comfortable and happy with every last detail.

ood was amazing! Guests are still raving about it!

nd helpful leading up to the big day, especially since we were planning the wedding from across the country. Whether it was sending pictures via email, setting up calls and private tastings, or just being available for a quick moment. They always were there to help. Everything was setup perfectly for our wedding day and went off without a hitch. From sun up to sun down, Rylee was there to make sure everything ran smooth and that the bride and groom and all of our VIPs were taken care of. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with a staff that pours their heart and soul into each event – look no further than The Grove at Centerton!

were nothing but accommodating. They answered every question we had and helped our wedding vision come to life! I can't thank Rylee enough for everything she helped us with the entire way and especially on our wedding day. She is someone you can trust 100% with any decision making. She made me feel so calm the entire day! I didn't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the morning with friends and family! The entire staff at The Grove were so attentive and hard working the entire day and night. I never had an empty plate or glass! The food was AMAZING. Our wedding was truly everything we wanted and more and that is all because of lovely staff at The Grove.

have asked for. I would recommend this venue and team to anyone looking to plan a big, modern wedding!! I could not have asked for a better experience!!

tions you can take to reduce the cost like getting married in a winter month. The Grove is spacious and gorgeous, as you can see as soon as you walk in. We got endless compliments on how beautiful everything was and we didn't even have that much decor, it was gorgeous all on its own. We knew that this venue immediately fit our style but it only got better when we got introduced to RYLEE!!!!! There are not enough words to describe how INCREDIBLE Rylee is. She was so knowledgeable, easy to talk to and just overall extremely good at her job. She was quick to answer the numerous questions I had without ever making me feel like I was annoying her. Every single person in our family and wedding party independently said to me how amazing she was. It is very calming having someone with you on your wedding day who knows what they are doing and truly feels like they are enjoying their job. The Grove made the logistics of everything very easy as well. From being able to drop things off a few days before the wedding and then having all of our stuff neatly organized and ready to be picked up the morning after made our lives so much easier. We would 100% pick the Grove over again if we had to. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else!!

was our pick immediately no reservations in our minds. It was exactly what we were looking for style-wise & everyone working was so welcoming. Any questions we had during the wedding planning process, both of the amazing ladies Krista and Rylee were right there to answer them all with a smile! What could be to my detriment, I'd like to think I was a pretty laid back bride, which made me also feel somewhat clueless when it came to planning & they both were there to help me every step of the way! They were a dream to work with & were a huge part in our wedding experience! (They were so important, let's just say I cried when I saw them when we first got to the venue on wedding day!) The day of was absolutely perfect. Literally perfect in every way. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so our outside ceremony was everything we wanted. It's such an adorable area out there, we barely added any extra decor because we loved it as is. The Garden Room for cocktail hour was the perfect size for our 150 guests to move comfortably... plus it's just as equally adorable. I could go on raving about our hors d'oeuvres, but I will refer you to our guests who are STILL talking about how delicious everything was! (Don't skip on the mini chicken & waffles!) Our reception in the ballroom was truly a dream. It was everything I pictured in my head for how I wanted my wedding day to be. The room is absolutely beautiful & the entrees were amazing of course. The staff got word that I was a fan of a certain soup I had at another event at The Grove and made a special cup for me! That was not the only amazing treatment from the staff I personally experienced - They knew I was diabetic, so they came up with drink ideas low in sugar for our signature drinks & even made a whole dessert tray of sugar-free treats for me. This is what truly separates The Grove from other wedding venues - you do not feel like just another couple on their list of weddings. They truly care about their couples and how to make their day perfect beyond what you could expect from a venue & their team. Like I mentioned, I will forever recommend The Grove for your wedding if you are still deciding! I love it there & can't imagine having had our big day anywhere else!

onsive. Our wedding day was simply gorgeous. The venue was decorated beautifully and our attendees had a fabulous time. I've had so many friend's continue to comment about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food and cake were. One friend told me that the Grove was a "hidden South Jersey treasure." I couldn't agree more. Thank you to everyone at the Grove. Our wedding day was exceptionally memorable!

, and more), answered any/all questions in a timely manner and were always helpful no matter what the question/task. The day of my wedding went very smooth with no issues or problems. The venue itself is also stunning. It was the perfect place at a very affordable price as well. The food was also very good.

stions throughout also! Our guests loved the cocktail hour, dinner, desserts and cake! We had a family heirloom used for our cake topper and they took great care of it ensuring it was back with us at the end of the night! We felt they went above and beyond to make our day as seamless and perfect as possible. I even had extra flower petals from our florist that we sprinkled down the aisles at the ceremony, and our coordinator sprinkled the extras on different table displays we had within cocktail hour and the reception! I didn’t even think of that and it made the evening so much more romantic! Thank you again to The Grove at Centerton for treating us like family!!!

e are amazing people. Any questions or concerns my husband and I had, they answered right away. The food that we had for our wedding was amazing and delicious. If we could get married over and over again, we’d do it all over again.

our host day-of, everyone was accommodating and very helpful. The shower was in the Garden Room, perfect size for ~80 people and could easily fit 2 more tables. Equipped with bluetooth for music from your phone. The bar was self-serve brunch cocktails and was always refilled promptly. The buffet was brunch (eggs, sausage, salad, pasta, chicken), everything was delicious! Our guests raved about the carrot cake and their cookies for dessert!! Overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend for a bridal or baby shower. *Just a note to brides...if getting married on a weekend there is a good chance another person's shower will be in the morning. This was told to me on my tour in 2021 but also, when we were cleaning up our shower, there was a bride and bridemaids taking pictures in the front lobby area.

stand that it was all so new. Olivia was absolutely AMAZING to work with! Everyone complimented how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had!!

she was so detail oriented and always available to answer questions. On the day off, I felt like everyone went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time. My hair and makeup vendors said that the bridal suite was the most beautiful venue room they had ever been in, and we had such a great time getting ready in there. Everyone worked with my photographer so that we could get pictures in perfect spots around the venue, including in a conference room with wonderful lighting. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough - The Grove kindly put sample of all the apps from cocktail hour in my bridal suite but I was running around chatting with people and never made it back in, haha! Our guests genuinely loved the food and my husband and I thought it was delicious. Again, Even at dinner we had an extra plate on our table with some of the macaroni bar and cheese and cracker station. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful and I had absolutely no regrets about our venue choice. We loved our gift as well after the big day - something I was definitely not expecting. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again, and I am so happy I had it at The Grove! Hoping I can attend weddings in the future to experience it as a guest.

r to deciding on anything they allowed us to visit the site many times to help with ideas, we had a tasting for food which ALL WAS AMAZING, even the vegan option. The big day came and it was prefect! Rylee, the event coordinator, was helpful, fun, and organized. She went above and beyond to help with the flow of the day and made sure we were enjoying everything. 10/10 recommend!!

beautiful and the food is amazing. All of our friends and family had an amazing time.

was OUTSTANDING and made the day flawless!! 5 months later and we are still receiving compliments from our wedding day about the food, service, and venue. The Grove made for an exquisite back drop. I highly recommend!

ade it worth it for us was the team. Our events coordinator, Rylee went above and beyond for us and was SO organized and professional. I truly don’t know how we would’ve gotten through the day without her as she kept everyone in line and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout the whole process. They helped make our vision come to life and I truly could not be more grateful.

ce for our guests to be able to do multiple things while at our wedding (dance, photobooth, have some drinks, chill outside, etc.) and the Grove offered just that. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is delicious, and the staff is so accommodating. From getting ready in the bridal suite to the after party in the Tavern, every single moment about our day at the Grove was perfect. Rylee, Krista, and the rest of the staff made the planning process so easy, and went above and beyond on wedding day to constantly check in on us and ensure a smooth day. THANK YOU!

the ceremony and reception. Our whole experience from the months of planning, rehearsal and wedding day was amazing. Our guests raved about the beauty of the venue, how delicious the food was and how awesome the outside spaces were during the cocktail hour and reception. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect ! I couldnt have imagined it anymore perfect! Krista was great to work with and saw u through the whole process, as she was the first person we met when we came to tour the venue and she was there to on our Wedding Day. Ryle stepped in as our wedding coordinator a month before and absolutely nailed it! I can't say enough about her attention to detail! She was amazing and a pleasure to work with! I cant end this review without giving a huge shout-out to our server Betty! She's was our server at the tasting and at the wedding and we absolutely adore her!

ence with The Grove was phenomenal. The venue was gorgeous, the food was excellent and the level of service was top notch. We worked with Krista and Rylee, along with many others at the Grove and nothing was too much all day long. My daughter's wedding weekend was delightful and nithing short of a dream! If you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further.

tails for the big day. Answering any question I may have and really helping me to relax and enjoy my day and the planning process. The venue itself is just beautiful. They were so accommodating to our wedding. The food was great, the atmosphere was great. Set up and clean up was super quick and efficient. All my guests had nothing but positive comments about the Grove. The truly made my wedding a day I will never forget!

planning significantly less stressful. Not to mention Kayla was so amazing to work with! She was very responsive and so kind throughout the process! The Grove offers a bridal suite which we used to get ready in. I loved that we were able to utilize that area, though it was a little tight for the hair and makeup vendors. The groomsman also had a small lounge area, which I didn’t even realize! It was so convenient! And the food and cake were delicious!! We had a staff member cater to us throughout the night and grabbed our food and drinks for us, which was so nice! We had an amazing time and so did our guests! Would definitely recommend this venue!

he food was fantastic and all our decor was set-up as we requested. Our guests had an amazing time!! I only took away one star because I would have liked some more support on the day of from the event coordinator.

moment we walked in. We had planned our wedding for 1.5 years and I had so many concerns during the height of covid and the staff answered all of my questions & helped to ease my mind. As the wedding approached we worked with Kayla who was absolutely amazing. Answered every single one of my questions in a timely manner, was so so accommodating, helpful & sweet. Our wedding day went seamlessly and was absolutely perfect. The food was good & our guests had an amazing experience. I can’t express enough how beautiful everything was & what a perfect day we had!

had the wedding of our dreams at The Grove at Centerton.

est are still raving about how delicious the food was from cocktail hour to dessert. The Venue is gorgeous and is the perfect balance between rustic and glam. They have a beautiful bridal suite which is big enough for everyone to get ready in. They also have a nice grooms suite that they guys hung out in prior to the wedding. Kayla and Stephanie ensured that everything was perfect the day of the wedding and were a dream to work with.

d my husband is from south jersey. Once I saw the venue online, I knew I had to see it in person and the moment we stepped inside, we both knew that was where we wanted to have our wedding. We booked it within a six month window and the staff at the Grove was very kind. Shout out to Kayla for being extremely helpful and professional, she was great to work with. She answered all my questions and was there to help the day of our wedding. After our wedding, everyone said how good the food was and how beautiful the venue was. I’m so glad we got married there and I really couldn’t have asked for a better day.

fessional every step of the way. Stephanie and Kayla were so wonderful to work with, and helped to alleviate every concern and answer every question we had about our day. The food and cake were phenomenal, as was the set-up for our decor and the day-of event staff. I could not be happier with how The Grove handled our wedding day from start to finish!

g to enjoy the beautiful outside patio for the ceremony but the weather did not cooperate! One of the reasons we chose the Grove was because of the ability to access indoor options in case of rain, although we never expected to have to take advantage of the indoor options- abundant rain made that decision for us! Stephanie quickly assured us the day would be perfect nonetheless AND IT WAS!!! The ceremony was beautiful set up in the main ball room!! Later in the night the rain subsided and we were able to use the outside patio for our guests to enjoy with heat lamps for a beautiful outside forest view of the night sky to catch their breath between songs after dancing the night away! The Grove is an unbelievable venue for a wedding and all my friends raved about the beautiful venue and of course the food! My daughter, the bride, and a few of her friends are vegan and the chef tailored some of the menu options just for her! They even made an additional vegan cake for her that my daughter said was the best she has ever tasted!!! I thought the cookies and cream wedding cake was also delicious! My friends and family are still Talking about the crab cakes, the filet cooked to perfection, and the Mac n cheese bar! We also took advantage of the all day bridal dressing room to get our hair and makeup done and we enjoyed the champagne and yogurt parfaits! Our hair and makeup team commented on the large mirrors and great lighting to get us looking our best! Stephanie also coordinated and communicated with all my vendors which made my job as Mother of the Bride easy- Stephanie’s calm personality as she facilitated our wedding day really enabled me to relax and enjoy the monumental day!!! The Grove has so many spots to take advantage of inside and outside for picture perfect photos! Everyone was ready for a party after COVID restrictions were lifted and our party at the Grove was fantastic!!!! Thank you the entire arrive team for making this a PERFECT day for my entire family!

s flexible and understanding of the stressful situation. I, myself, have worked in hospitality for a decade and I am VERY particular about service—I felt Stephanie & the Grove staff really went above & beyond to make our wedding spectacular. Right before we were announced into the reception as bride & groom, my contact completely ripped in my eye. I was freaking out, but Stephanie actually got it out of my eye in a matter of minutes, found me contact safe eye drops and the show went on! She seriously saved the day! I also want to say the food was absolutely phenomenal. We had a rehearsal dinner, changing room menu for the bridesmaids & moms while we got our hair and makeup done, hors d’oeuvres and stations for cocktail hour, huge dinner buffet, wedding cake, desserts, and late night snacks and EVERYTHING was delicious & fresh. They were even flexible to let me customize some menus to fit our preferences. I sent them photo ideas of the wedding cake design I wanted and their pastry chef blew it out of the water—-not to mention it was literally the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted. We had a TON of decor that we were able to set up the day before the wedding and we were dreading packing it all back up the morning after the wedding, but the staff took care of it so we only had to load the boxes into our trailer. If you are wondering whether or not to book the grove, I would say to definitely go for it—you will not regret it!! It was for sure the most fun and beautiful day of our lives!

raving about the food. The staff were very helpful and polite . Stephanie!! Man she is amazing at what she does! On a day were your nerves are all over the place and anything can go wrong she made me feel like she had everything under complete control!! Literally everyone absolutely loved how beautiful the venue was. It was prefect I can’t thank them enough!!

idal suite to the outdoor ceremony location to the cocktail hour room and the main ballroom. Stephanie, the event coordinator at The Grove, is amazing. Any question or concern or change I wanted to make she was right there answering and assisting me. Even on the day of my wedding she was checking in making sure everything went perfectly smooth. It rained the morning of my wedding and Stephanie made sure to have crew members drying off the aisle so it wouldn’t be wet when I walked down. I said I would like the ceremony to start right on time and she had guests in their seats according to plan. There was not a thing I had to worry about. The food is impeccable. From the tasting down to the day of the wedding it was perfect. I had asked if the salmon could have a different sauce the day of the wedding and it was not a problem, I also asked for salads to be pre-plated as guests entered in from cocktail hour and that was done as well. Every guest we had said how delicious and impressed they were with at cocktail hour, which included lamb chop and scallops wrapped in bacon along with many other amazing hors d’oeuvres, and dinner. I must also give a shout out to Brittany. She was a little bit of everything from a gown train layer to a waitress. She gave me my cue to walk down the aisle and made sure my gown’s train was perfectly laid out before walking down the aisle. She also helped bustle my gown for the ceremony. She always made sure I had a drink or food or anything me and my husband needed. She was on top of refilling hors d’oeuvres in the bridal suite during cocktail hour and I never had to go to the bar because she would find me on the dance floor or wherever I was mingling the and asked if I needed a refill or anything else. She even offered to box up our left overs from dinner. Another really nice thing The Grove did was box up our desserts to take home. You pick out all these amazing desserts to have and end up forgetting to eat them because your having the time of your life. So leaving the venue at the end of the night and having desserts and cake sliced up to take home was a perfect treat!! I will 1000% recommend this venue to anyone getting married!!!

t, the renovations they completed are perfect and the golf course out back was perfect for my pictures. The team there truly made our day perfect, they worked very close with me throughout the whole covid debacle and they made sure all of my guests were super safe.

t the overall atmosphere of this place is amazing!! Can not thank them enough for creating the wedding of my dreams!

erience with our wedding with their wedding planner Stephanie. I am a big worrier and stresser, and I can confidently say I trusted Stephanie 100% and she did not disappoint! The entire wedding day went as smooth as every bride dreams. Every single detail I had wanted was brought to life and distinguished perfectly. She answered every email I sent day or night and relieved any worry I had about ANYTHING with the wedding. She even answered my questions that did not have to do with the venue and gave her honest opinion/help which was amazing!!! Our guests also RAVED about the food. We had 5 appetizers butlered, 2 slider stations, and a charcuterie board for cocktail hour and salad, Salmon, and Steak for dinner along with veggie sides and mashed potatoes and every single guest complimented the food even weeks after the wedding day! Guests also raved about the dessert. We had chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and American buttercream icing. To die for! Definitely plenty of great food the entire night. We also had our rehearsal dinner at The Grove and it was wonderful. I 10000% recommend The Grove to any bride and groom looking for a modern/farmhouse venue with amazing food and service. You will not be disappointed!!
