The Grove

on't be disappointed! From the moment we met Christina we loved her and we were confident that she would do everything to make our day AMAZING!!! Great person, professional team, dedicated, hard-working, humble, and BEST in the business! My husband and I still talk about how grateful we were to have picked an amazing venue. Christina made it so personal and special for us. She even helped us pick the church and find our priest. She helped me and my family pull off an amazing wedding in less than 3 months. Very thankful for her! We love them and will recommend them FOREVER!!

to the decor to the service, our guests cannot stop talking about how our wedding was truly the wedding of the decade! The Grove's staff is a group of All-Stars! I literally watched Omar put out fire with his fingers to keep our candles perfect, can you say INCREDIBLE!!! I can not say enough about Ashley; even my bridesmaids were blown away at her service. Ashley literally fed me fruit when she noticed I hadn't eaten. She could anticipate my needs before I even had time to ask- she is WONDER WOMAN! Chef Anthony is a true artist! He made unique Peruvian dishes that were specially added to the menu to highlight my husband's heritage and everyone was impressed! Raul was our contact, but he was more like my ambassador and advocate! He is AMAZING at what he does! He kept me calm the entire reception and I enjoyed every moment of my wedding. Because of him, I NEVER worked my wedding! I cannot thank Raul enough for taking care of us. H is e so professional and talented, and I was blessed to have him by our side. He and his team made me feel like a princess. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It rained on October 20th, and all of our wedding photos were indoors... AND I WOULDN'T have it any other way! The Grove is a stunning background for our pictures! I could go on for days! ALL BRIDES WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET THE GROVE! You made our dreams come true, and I am forever thankful!

etc, and since we are chinese, we need to a tea ceremony in the early morning, their team really make accommodation for us, helped us planned the room and let us start the day from 7 am in the morning. And our bride and groom attendant was there from the time we get in the venue. They did everything for us. I can not say more thank you to them. My bridal attendant helped me changing my dress, iron my dress, grab food and drink for me etc. They made me really feels a bride that day. For the food, the cocktail hour, reception food was incredible. All my friends and family really had a good time. they said we had best wedding they have ever attended. Special thank Jimmy, our maitre d', my bridal attendant and groom attendant on that day. They definitely made our special day even more special and unforgettable!!! I highly recommend the grove to be your wedding venue, if you want a worry free, luxury and elegant wedding!

and groom’s attendants were on hand all day (well over 12 hours, when factoring in getting-ready time) and catered flawlessly to our every last need and request - but that is only the start of the white glove service. Every guest at our wedding was blown away by the ambience provided by the outdoor ceremony area as well as the luxurious cocktail hour. Not only were the food options endless and unique, but The Grove utilizes its space so intelligently that every guest was able to take a seat during cocktail hour if they wished. From cocktail hour we moved directly into the main ballroom for the reception, where we made our first grand entrance as husband and wife from the upstairs bridal suite, where we descended directly into the reception as we were introduced. Not to be outdone by the cocktail hour appetizers, whatever entree you choose at the reception is guaranteed to be the best meal you’ll have all year. Our wedding had about 165 guests, but as the bride and groom we were so closely attended-to that we felt like we might as well have been the only two people there. The Grove also only ever does one event on-site at a time, so if you get married here, you will feel like royalty all day. The Grove are the consummate pros for any and all of your wedding needs!

s was exactly how we felt the day of! We both had an attendant to help us the morning of. My bridal attendant was Maggie and she was absolutely invaluable! I ran out of time to steam the robes the girls were going to wear prior to that day and Maggie offered to help steam them for us that morning. She was also there for everything I needed including reapplying my lipstick! Jason and everyone at The Grove thought of everything and the day went off without a hitch! We have been told by all of our guests that it was the best wedding they have ever been too and the food was amazing! Do not think twice before booking The Grove, you won’t regret it!

yone else at The Grove was an absolute pleasure. Andrew made sure that every detail was covered and everything was done to our liking. He was easy to reach out to and he made sure everything was perfect for our big day! We received nothing but great compliments from all of our guests, from the amazing cocktail hour, to the delicious meals served, to the overall beautiful venue - we could not have asked for anything better. Highly recommend The Grove!

ellence. A very special thanks to Andrew, the man is phenomenal. He thoroughly enjoys his work and provides the highest level of service. We very highly recommend him.

te precision. Each and every one of our guests said the wedding was amazing --- with many of them calling it the best wedding they’ve attended in their life. And it all starts with the staff – Andrew was our event manager and had us at hello. He answered every question we threw at him in the months leading up to the wedding, but truly shined on the day itself. He coordinated with each of our vendors, ensured every detail was in place, and even adjusted to our last minute requests on the fly – he was on top of EVERYTHING. We felt his genuine care for each of us which made the day even more special. On the day itself, my wife had Ashley as her bridal attendant – I can honestly say I’ve never seen someone work so hard at their job. She was with my wife every step of the way – fluffed her dress when needed, got drinks delivered on cue, and even radioed for a lint roller when I got fuzz on my tuxedo during pictures outside! Ashley is FANTASTIC. And running point on the day was our maitre d', Liliya. Liliya executed everything flawlessly and made sure my wife and I were in the right place at the right time throughout the night (pictures, introductions, cake cutting, etc.). She too was able to handle our day-of requests without fail. And as for the venue itself --- it is SPECTACULAR! You’re immediately whisked away from New Jersey when you step foot in the Grand Lobby. Each of the ballrooms (for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) are gorgeous. And the food….people can’t stop talking about the food. Chef Anthony Garruto outdoes himself every night putting together a cocktail hour that is above and beyond what anyone could expect. Which is then somehow topped when the Viennese Table is revealed…any dessert you can imagine is put in front of your guests. There is a reason The Grove was placed on the Top 10 Luxurious places to get married in the United States – it is top notch all around. An absolutely magical place to get married!

s of trying to get another co-worker married off there. This was a joke, of course, but there is always a grain of truth in humor. The bottom line is this: you can't do better than "The Grove". They are meticulous, detail-oriented, and they make sure to exceed all of your expectations. Our wedding is still being spoken about, photos still being exchanged, and there is not a single negative comment in the air. Andrew was incredible to work with. We placed our absolute trust in him and went with all of the vendors that he suggested and we could not be more grateful. As I am sure you've heard other married couples tell you - your day will pass by in a blink and you will struggle to remember it. You need to have your wedding at the Grove. They make sure that you will leave your wedding day not just with a blink of an experience, but with a montage of tangible, positive, moments. We can not thank everyone at the Grove enough. They truly are # 1.

rried there (I literally got a bridal moment haha). We walked around and everything took my breath away, they even have a Historic House on site that’s awesome to take pictures inside and outside. We went to some more locations afterwards, but I kept thinking back to The Grove and within a couple of days I came back to sign the contract. Before the wedding, we worked with Jason S. He is literally the best, but you’ll come to find out that everyone that works there is amazing. Jason helped so much with the wedding from walking us through the menu, talking about the different events of the day and seating chart issues. We did a Kosher style wedding and we were even able to order separate Glatt Kosher meals for the people who needed them. I can’t even begin to explain how magical our wedding day was. People are still talking about how it was a fairy tale. There isn’t one place you can’t take a picture, because everything is so luxurious and beautiful. The food is top notch, people are still raving about how amazing the food was and how delicious all the desserts were. No one and I mean NO ONE left the wedding hungry. The service there not only makes the couple feel special, but the guests as well. People told me after the wedding how attentive and friendly the staff was. Raul was the Maitre d' at our wedding and he was so nice and professional. He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped guide us on what we should expect during the night. Ashley was my bridal attendant and she went above and beyond. She made sure I was eating, drinking, helped me get in and out of my gown and dealt with every issue coming from my bridal party. She was a literal angel and I wouldn’t have asked for anyone else. Andrew was the attendant for my husband and he was just as awesome. He made sure my husband was eating, drinking and having a good time with his friends. I truly can only say good things about The Grove. If you want to get married and feel like royalty, this is the place. It was the best day of my life and The Grove helped make sure it was one of a kind

inion. On the day of our weeding I don't think we could have asked for a better day. Ashley my bridal attended was amazing. She was constantly fixing my hair and make up throughout the day. The food in the cocktail hour was outstanding. We were given so much that we couldn't even finish it all. Our main dishes were amazing as well. I was happy that we were able to take them home with us as they were still so good the next day. The Viennese hour was incredible. I couldn't believe all of the desserts that were there. Our wedding day was truly a dream come true.

. I can’t brag enough .

rove was upfront about all fees and costs from the first meeting, and Dan Goldblatt was very professional and put us at ease when faced with making such a big investment in a wedding venue. There was clear communication from the Grove at all times leading up to our wedding, which helped to alleviate a lot of our stress. They also took care of anything we needed when we asked them, including working independently with other vendors to get items we needed for our wedding. Even more, the Grove was familiar with all of our vendors and coordinated with them independently in the days leading up to our wedding. The Grove hosts only one event at a time, so you can be sure that you will have their full attention during your event, and their support staff did a great job of making sure our wedding went smoothly and they attended to any issues that arose during the day. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

thing, it was there in the next 5 minutes. Even the simplest thing as my dad said he didn't get any mini hot dogs at the cocktail hour. Next thing he knew Andrew brought him over a plate of mini hot dogs. My bridal attendant Ashley was excellent. Anything I needed she was there for me. I got so many compliments on everything!!!!!! My friends and family were extremely impressed by everything. You really went about and beyond for me and I truly appreciate everything! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

he cocktail lounge, the bride and groom suites - everything is incredible. The photos on The Grove’s website doesn’t do it justice as it’s hard to capture the beauty of the entire space. From the moment we knew we wanted to get married here, Daniel, Maggie and George guided us through the entire process from start to finish. It’s really refreshing to have people who know what they are doing ask you for the basic decisions and then take it from there seeing it through to the end. It lifts a huge weight off your shoulder knowing you have knowledgeable professionals in your corner. On the day of the wedding (March 24, 2018), Maggie and George were at our sides making sure we were comfortable and making sure we stayed on top of everything. Without them we would’ve most certainly been overwhelmed. Needless to say, they made a perfect day even more perfect. Now let’s talk about the food, there were so many choices and each one was just perfect. All our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much food there was and how good it all tasted. A week since, we are still hearing from guests who attended telling us this was one of the best weddings they’ve attended. And none of this would’ve been possible without the entire team at The Grove - especially Daniel, Maggie and George. If you are thinking of getting married in the area, you will love having made the decision to get married here at The Grove.

e facility with so much to offer, it leaves you speechless. The moment you walk in those doors into the giant gorgeous foyer, you will be hooked I promise!! Each room is amazing in its own way. Anything you envision can be done. Morning of our wedding, I was greeted by my new best friend Ashley. She was easily the greatest bridal attendant I've ever seen. I've BEEN a bridal attendant, I know what it takes and this girl is the BEST. She was my right hand man from the moment I stepped out of the limo in the morning to the moment she put me back in the limo at the end of the night. From fixing my hair, dabbing my tears and reapplying my lipstick. She made sure I was perfect all night, and I really cannot thank her enough. My husband had a groom's attendant, Andrew. Easily Ashley's twin. Andrew was so insanely attentive, it definitely didn't go unnoticed. My husband was wearing velvet shoes for our wedding and Andrew literally carried around duct tape to remove any lint or fuzz that touched those shoes! The staff at The Grove just seriously cannot be touched. They have been trained by the best and they truly care about what they're doing. Now for the party! Cocktail hour was amazing, we wished we had more time to spend in it! The stations looked delicious, the drinks were colorful, bright and strong! We received nothing but compliments from cocktail hour. We had about 200 people attend our wedding, which filled the ballroom comfortably! Plenty of room to move about and enjoy. Everything is planned down to a science. All the food was displayed so beautifully and it was SO good. So many people raved about the red snapper! The night moves so incredibly quickly you don't even realize whats going on half the time but let me tell you, not once was my glass empty. This place really focuses on the little details. We had the Viennese for dessert where an entire different room opened. People were SHOCKED. This may have been my favorite part. The wall behind where the head table was has mirrors on it, but the wall opens up. People thought it was a reflection until the sparklers went off and the room was fully open showcasing amazing dessert stations and another open bar. It really just blows your mind how much you're getting. The Grove is worth every single penny. We got married in January 2018, people are still constantly raving about our wedding. Our wedding wouldn't be anything without The Grove and their awesome team. This venue skyrockets above the rest. To Andrew Kronengold, thank you for making our dreams come true. You helped give us absolutely everything we could have ever wanted and more. We miss The Grove DAILY and really hope to be back as a guest soon. To Ashley and Andrew, thanks for making our day so seamless. Your attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. You two are insanely good at your jobs. Thank you all for the best wedding we could have ever imagined Love Kristen & Kamil Nieroda

very single detail was thought out and the day of operations could not have been smoother. None of this could have happened without Andrew. From the very beginning he helped us work through every detail and guided us through the entire process. Andrew was so on point that we could not have missed a detail or forgotten something even if we tried. Likewise, Raul (the most fantastic Maitre D') took everything we threw at him in stride and helped to facilitate all of our craziest ideas! From beginning to end, the Grove Staff were fantastic. They provided such great service and elevated the affair to a level I could not have even envisioned. Lastly, Ashley (THE best bridal attendant) was AMAZING. She made the day so unbelievably easy; she was truly invaluable. I cannot even begin to imagine the day going as well without her help and assistance. She made me feel so comfortable the whole day and ensured that everything was exactly as I had imagined. Words alone do not express my utmost gratitude and and appreciation for all she did on the day of. Our wedding was truly magical. I am on cloud nine and have not stopped grinning from ear to ear since Saturday. I feel so lucky that we chose the Grove for our wedding 15 months ago and cannot recommend it highly enough!

hukovsky and his staff really know how to create an event that will be the best you will ever experience. The food was UNREAL to say the least. Every single bite was perfection. From the sushi and raw bar, to the slider station with accompanying root beer floats, the taste, creativity, display, and service was something we, and our guests have never experienced before. I cannot say enough about Raul, our maître D. He treated our wedding as if it were his own. Not one detail was missed. Everything looked picture perfect and the organization of our ceremony and reception was superb. Everyone should be so lucky to have Raul as their point man. He is the best in the business. The bridal and groom attendants, Amanda and Andrew, are the most caring and genuine people you will meet. They made sure we looked and felt perfect the entire day. Not only for us, but for our family members as well. They were so attentive and caring. You felt like you knew them forever. Over all, I wouldn’t be able to rate the Grove, because it is completely off the charts. There are not enough stars to give to the experience. It is completely unmatched.

nd gave us advice whenever we needed it. All the attention we were given still did not prepare me for how amazing our wedding was. First off we were welcomed at 10am with a breakfast and Ashley. You must request Ashley as your bridal attendant. She fixed things before they were broken. If a tear fell she caught it, she was attentive and helpful. My lipstick was reapplied, dress was constantly being fixed, she even helped our photgrapher out! I am definitely not doing her justice as she was my best friend throughout the wedding. The maitre D kept us all on track and made sure everything ran like a well oiled machine from before the ceremony right until the end! The rooms we got ready in where upscale and comfortable. I really felt like a princess all day. The cocktail hour is one of the best Ive ever been to. There was so much to eat, drink and see that people did not want it to end. The entrance with sparklers was awesome and made it grand. I was unhappy with the bakery not making my cake sparkle and next thing I know the maitre d and ashley had made it sparkle. The food is out of this world, the people are kind , helpful ,and attentive. Jason threw in a few extras that made it that much more unique such as passed zeppoles!! I can go on and on. People have been contacting me since the wedding to tell me it was one of the best weddings they have been too, the best venue they have been at, the best cocktail hour, the best food and the nicest staff they have seen!! Everyone deserves to feel like a princess at their wedding and the people at The Grove made me feel like one and then some!

and family are still raving about the food (and even joking about wedding crashing just to go back! lol) If you want to have a picture perfect wedding with the best people taking care of every little detail, making sure everything is running smoothly, go to The Grove! I am forever grateful for everyone involved.

op of everything . Raul , the one who was running our wedding, was very detailed, organized , and took care of everything. Ashley , the bride attendant, was a life saver. She was by my side the whole day, and made sure I had everything I needed. She would apply my lipstick, bring me drinks, made sure I eat, and of course made sure I was okay. Jason made sure to answer every question and concern we had, and accommodate us in every single way possible. Not only the venue is GORGEOUS, not only the food is DELICIOUS, but the service they provide to the bride and groom and their guests is OUTSTANDING. Our guests were all mesmerized at the venue , food , drinks , and service. Also, they make sure to do all the worrying for you so that you can enjoy the night to the maximum. A big thank you to the Grove team, and I hope to return as a guest to this beautiful venue ! Just amazing!!!

how much weight they take off your shoulders making everything perfect for you when you arrive. AMAZING and STUNNING and food is the best in NJ. So thankful. Day was perfect till the last second.

ely amazing x3!!! Our guests loved the look of the venue. The bridal suites are so spacious, and there were so many great locations to take pictures. The Grove keeps every detail in mind and it shows! We continue to receive fabulous feedback from friends and family. We would definitely recommend The Grove!!!

and there was not one he missed. He answered every single question I had plus some. Now the day of the wedding - my bridesmaids and myself got ready at the Grove (an early start of 6:30am). 2 weeks later, I can't stop talking about my bridal attendant Ashley. HANDS DOWN SIMPLY AMAZING!!! She did not leave my side - she steamed my gown for me, she held my lipstick for the entire night, she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs from the bus when I arrived for cocktail hour, she made sure I ate and drank water throughout the day, she gave me wet rags to cool off with when I was hot. I can't even stress how amazing the ENTIRE staff was this day. My father can not stop talking about Raul and how he made him feel like royalty. He made sure my parent's ate their meals, saw the cocktail hour room before the guests, if they wanted a drink he got it for them. And with me, Raul made sure myself and my husband were happy the entire night - seeing the ballroom before the guests, if we wanted to change anything before hand, made sure we ate, continued to ask us throughout the night if we needed anything. I couldn't imagine our night without Raul and Ashley. The food was amazing! Cocktail hour and the main course. People keep complimenting our wedding and that they've never been to a wedding quite like ours and how incredible the whole night was. Thank you to the Grove and their entire staff for mine and m husbands DREAM wedding!!!!! You made it happen!

pointment and were accommodated without hesitation. Well, after 30 minutes and only seeing the venue once, we signed the contract on the spot, and I can honestly say aside from saying yes to my proposal, it was the easiest, most confident decision I’ve ever made! From then on, anytime we had questions, Michael and Maggie were easily accessible and helpful. At some point throughout the year, Michael stepped down and Jason took over. Jason always made us feel so important and at ease that everything we ever imagined would come to fruition the day our wedding came. The day of, everything fulfilled and surpassed our expectations by a long shot! I could not even possibly put into words how easy the day flowed because my husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing. This venue is so well versed in throwing well organized, lavish weddings that any question or scenario we thought of, they had already thought about it ten times and formulated a plan. Raul, our maître D, orchestrated the most amazing day. He kept everyone timely and organized, while making sure my husband and I had everything we could possibly need. He was so friendly, professional, and kind, and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. My husband and his groomsman, as well as myself and my bridesmaids were also given an attendant each, Ashley and Andrew. I could not put a price tag on how valuable both of them were throughout our day. Both of them took care of us and made us feel like royalty. Ashley was always there with lip stick and hairspray keeping my look up to par. Always there with a drink like she would read my mind when I was parched, kept my stomach full up until ceremony time so I wouldn’t feel faint, kept lipstick off my teeth, helped me pose in pictures, sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses that ripped, and that isn’t even half of it. She was priceless, and my husband said Andrew was the exact same. Andrew was feeding the groomsman, supplying drinks and sewing buttons. My family and guests could not STOP RAVING about the service at the grove. Their food is out of this world and in such abundance! The staff asked everyone if they wanted a second entrée, and would cover up their food the moment they would step away so it wouldn’t get cold. We also did the passed Viennese desserts which numerous people commented on the abundance and quality as well. Everything was out of this world amazing and easily unmatchable by any other venue. We would highly recommend the grove to anyone who wants to have the most amazing, lavish, memorable day that they could possibly ask for. Thank you so much to the Grove and all the staff for giving us easily the best day of our lives! We wouldn’t change a single thing about our day and it’s all because of you!

fessional, and on top of everything . Raul , the one who was running our wedding, was very detailed, organized , and took care of everything. Ashley , the bride attendant, was a life saver. She was by my side the whole day, and made sure I had everything I needed. She would fix my hair for pictures, apply my lipstick, bring me water/drinks etc. etc. She helped me with everything on the wedding day and it was so comforting having her around. Jimmy and Jason made sure to answer every question and concern we had, and accommodate us in every single way possible. Not only the venue is GORGEOUS, not only the food is DELICIOUS, but the service they provide to the bride and groom and their guests is OUTSTANDING. Our guests were all mesmerized at the venue , food , drinks , and service. Also, they make sure to do all the worrying for you so that you can enjoy the night to the maximum. A big thank you to the Grove team, and I hope to return as a guest to this beautiful venue !

ing beyond perfect. We had the pleasure of working with Jason and we can't thank him enough for giving us the wedding we dreamed of. Our guests are still talking about the wedding and how it was the best one they ever attended! Everything ran so smoothly and every single person had so much fun and there was never a dull moment. It's very hard to put your trust into someone especially when it's your wedding, but when you have The Grove behind you you don't need to worry about a thing! They're very professional!! Thank you again for the best wedding we could ever have!

y daughter and son in law their dream wedding

bridal party. She is truly talented at what she does. Our wedding coordinator was Andrew and he made sure everything was perfect the day of our wedding. He emailed me many times to make sure we had all the details done correctly. Everyone was so professional and they made sure every detail was done so that the day was perfect. The cocktail hour was out of this world and the dinner was hot and delicious ( most wedding dinners are not). I would hands down recommend this venue to anyone if you want the best !!

iful facility, excellent staff and DELICIOUS food. STAFF: the staff is well trained and able to execute a large event. This was noted by so many of our guests. Special mention to Raul - he is amazing and knows what he is doing when it comes to events. I am so grateful he was there for us. All of the direction we provided him for set up and night of was completed to perfection. Additionally, Nicole was my day of coordinator. At first I wasn't sure why I would need one, but she really proved her value to me and I can't imagine not having her! She was there with water all day and a cold towel during the event when I got hot from dancing. She made sure my hair was positioned well in photos, bustled my dress, took me to the bathroom, made sure I had food, packed up my bag for me and even fixed my make up when needed. Both she and Raul ensured our lunch deliveries were set up for us and that we had all that we needed. I am blown away by the two of them and so thankful they were apart of the day. FOOD: everyone we spoke to commented on the broad variety & delicious taste of the food - even dinner. Despite cooking for a huge group, they do not lose out on flavor! My only comments to potential brides/grooms/families out there is to make sure you keep everything super organized and communicate with The Grove - as with any venue. Our food tasting included a lot of non Kosher items even though we specified at the time of signing our contract that the wedding would be Kosher style, which was a bit disappointing, but truthfully didn't have any impact on our wedding day. I would also have liked to get a little more communication from the Grove regarding when to expect to do food tasting etc. Once I reached out to them, they were great, but I thought they would have reached out to me first. Again, it all worked out fine and I couldn't be happier! If you are interested in the Grove..... don't hesitate! You will not be disappointed!

dding none of our guests were left waiting for appetizers, ample bars, and the food was delicious. We were blessed w/ rainshowers but the Grove made sure none of us got wet and they have this beautiful historic landmark home built in 1774 that was a perfect place to take pictures. They only host one wedding a day and so your party is the only one on the premises which is personal and private. The word that summarizes what the Grove experience is just elegant. The quality is beyond words. On behalf of my husband George, and I, we want to thank the Grove for truly making our night special and we have been blessed through this experience to meet wonderful people along the way and The Grove staff is among them. We wish you the best of luck and hope our wedding will bring more Indian weddings to you!!

elpful, nice, and accommodating! He made plannning a wedding for 250 people seem like a walk in the park, and everything turned out more perfect than anything I could've ever imagined! We dealt with Raul from the very beginning and he coordinated everything and it was FLAWLESS!!! The day of, we were also greeted by the sweetest and most helpful woman named Ashley, she was never more than a couple feet from me throughout the entire reception, making sure I was attended to. She thought of EVERYTHING to make sure my night was perfect and I was comfortable. At one point, my hair had gotten out of place and she (literally) pulled out hair spray and bobby pins from her back pocket to fix my hair! Before I could even realize that I needed something, she was right there to provide it for me. Raul and Ashley were the most perfect team we could've ever dreamed of!! The hall was absolutely BREATHTAKING. The people at the grove take on a whole new meaning of paying attention to detail! Everything is clean, sleek, and just gorgeous. Every single staff member was professional and attentive. They made sure you were aware that no request was unattainable. The chef, Anthony, truly outdid himself! I come from a huge family of picky eaters, and every single person was raving about the food. My father was also extremely impressed with the fact that Anthony went over to him personally to introduce himself! I can go on and on about how truly amazing everything was- I would recommend this place to every person possible!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE The Grove!!!

alked in I knew I wanted my wedding there. When I was choosing a wedding venue, I was looking for three things, tall ceilings, one wedding at a time and a big cocktail room so that my guests didn’t feel cramped. The Grove met all three of these things and more. It was such a pleasure to work with Andrew. I emailed him MANY times before my wedding asking all different kinds of questions. He answered all of my questions quickly and with such professionalism. That was such a great help since I was such a nervous bride and I wanted everything to be perfect. The day of my wedding went flawlessly! The service was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Ashley my bridal attendant was always with me, she got me anything and everything. She put my lipstick on me for photos, she touched up my hair, brought me a new drink before I finished the one I had, she bustled my gown, she even undid my gown and re-tied it so that it wasn’t so tight. All of the attendants were great though, they had their walkie talkes to let each other know where my husband and I were at different times of the night. They were always bringing us things and letting us know about different things. My guests just cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue is and the service they received. I am beyond happy with my experience working with The Grove. I would definitely recommend this venue. Now I hope that one of my friends gets married here so that I can experience the night all over again from a guests point of view!

hoped. Every vendor was thrilled (relieved?) to work with Andrew and The Grove, which also speaks wonders. In addition to Andrew, thank you Raoul, Ashley, Joshua, and George for your wedding-night expertise, professionalism, and composure. We and our guests were well taken care of, and from start to finish, details big and little , we are so happy with our decision to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at The Grove. The Newlyweds - Josh and Melissa

Maggie also helped coordinate wedding as well, and was a pleasure. Brenda was my bridal attendant and was sweet as pie. She made sure my dress was bussled, hair sprayed, and that I was happy all night. George was an amazing matre d.... very efficient and pleasant. Food was amazing... guests were raving about all of the food and Viennese dessert sampler. Mexican station was a big hit. Atmosphere was just perfect... glamorous... classy... Thank you to everyone at the grove who made Julio and my day so special. Words cannot describe how pleased we are with the service, food, atmosphere and overall feeling! If you choose the grove for an event, you are making the right choice! ❤️🍾🥂🎉👰🏻💍

for the constant emails and phone calls and your availability. We never had to wait to get a response from her. Thank you Ashley for being my bridal attendant, and doing everything for me that day. Thank you to all the waiters and bartenders that day, who were so professional and gave outstanding service for our guests. The cocktail hour was everything we wanted. Every station looked perfect and people cannot stop talking about the Mexican station, with the tequila ice bar. That is a MUST for anyone getting married at the Grove. Thank you to the chef for the amazing food. My guests are still talking about the Filet Mignon and Baked Cod, and even the cauliflower steaks! But the STAR of the Grove is RAUL. WOW. There was nobody better than him that day and nobody should have a wedding without him. Weddings can be so overwhelming and stressful, but he was exactly what we needed that day. He had eyes in the back of his head throughout the entire night and knew every single thing that was going on. There just aren't enough words to really describe how grateful we are to have had him on the biggest day of our lives. It really wouldn't have been the same without him! Now, with the good, there are a few minor bad things that I do have to mention. My fiancé and his groomsmen were able to get ready in the little cottage that the Grove has. It was amazing. Him and his friends couldn't stop talking about how great Jason, the grooms attendant was. Thank you Jason! That house was in immaculate shape, very well maintained. Fully stocked with food and beverages, complete coffee and tea station. It was cleaned and serviced throughout! The bridal suite, on the other hand wasn’t as good. The food area was never serviced. Dirty napkins, plates, etc. were not removed. Empty food platters were not removed. Glasses were not replaced and the water was not refilled. When the entire bridal party and parents went into that room for the Ketubah signing, it really looked like a disaster. Other than that, we still had a perfect day and are so happy we picked to get married at the Grove! Thank you to the staff for everything that day! -Inna & Austin Traina

The Grove. When we met Jason Shukovsky, we knew our search was complete. He immediately eased all the tensions that comes with the territory. I am a huge planner and felt that Jason was detail oriented and able to address every concern and desire for the big day. He got back to us promptly with all requests. Even the night before the wedding at the rehearsal, I broke a nail and my fiance called Jason immediately. Jason was able to get a manicurist to come to The Grove in the AM and fix the broken nail. It was amazing! He recommended top professionals who went above and beyond with regards to music and floral arrangements; he patiently guided us through menu selection, seating arrangements, etc.; and he selected a staff who were competent and supportive. Raul (the professional who seamlessly ran a 7+ hour affair), Ashley (the bridal attendant who assisted with every need of the bride and bridal party but also making sure the bride’s outfit and makeup was always perfect) and Brandon (the groom's go-to captain who kept 10 groomsmen and a handful of family members loose with libations and full with food) are integral parts of Jason's team. The aesthetic details will automatically set The Grove far apart from its competitors; especially since there are so few who can accommodate a larger party. We hosted an Indian wedding that required a location that could comfortably host 370+ guests. Everyone complimented us on the spacious and luxurious area that makes this special day memorable for the couple and all who attend. The day ran so smoothly and we were able to enjoy the day and not have to worry about any details. Additionally the food is out of this world. We heard great things about the food and read several reviews, but it still exceeded expectations. Every single guest mentioned the delicious food from the cocktail hour, sit down dinner, and beautiful viennese spread. We were even able to work with an Indian caterer for some of the dishes the cocktail hour and dinner. We hope to be invited to a wedding there soon so we can enjoy the food even more. The Grove would be a perfect place for an upcoming wedding. Just a quick warning/word to the wise: book as soon as possible! This venue seems to schedule events quickly so do not waste time visiting too many places. Our advice is to start with The Grove. We hope that you all will have the same fairy tale story at the end.

t abroad. They were both extremely responsive to us and did everything possible to make the day everything we dreamed of. No matter what we talked about with them it seemed as though nothing was impossible, whether it was breakfast and mimosas while I was getting ready, adding the selection of beers we requested or making sure the star fruit garnish for our signature cocktail was ordered (with Jason even coming up with the cocktail name!). Our maitre d's, George and Raul, were also great - from our initial meeting with George 2 months before the wedding, our last meeting 2 days before, and during the entire day. They made sure they knew the exact placement of every item we brought in during our final meeting, making notes of everything, which reassured me it would all be perfect. I unfortunately spilled wine on myself during the reception and the moment Raul saw the look of disappointment on my face he ran over and immediately called for my bridal attendant on his headpiece to get the stain removed. Our parents and immediate family were also treated with this same service, never even having to get their own food or drinks. Ashley, the bridal attendant, was phenomenal! From the moment I walked in the morning of our wedding she had a plate of breakfast and coffee for me and the service didn't stop all day. She set up all my jewellery, shoes, garter, etc. for photos, reapplied my lipstick, bobby pinned my hair, and fluffed my dress for every single photo. Even just chatting with her all morning made me feel great and calmed all my pre-church jitters! Multiple guests asked where I had booked Ashley and I was so happy to say she is another amazing employee at The Grove. The Grove cocktail hour is out of this world and every guest loved it. The Mexican station was a huge hit! We really enjoyed seeing guests at the tequila luge, being served shots and having a great time. Every other station was decorated in its theme and this could not go unnoticed. Having a Viennese room was my one big reception requirement and The Grove's blew us away. There wasn't a dessert our guests couldn't get! We added on the fireworks to our package, which absolutely stunned everyone when the doors to the Viennese room opened, as well as when my husband and I walked down the stairs for our initial entrance. This is not something you see at just any venue! Nearly every guest we had has said it was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to and that can be attributed to the impeccable service at The Grove, attention to detail and overall beautiful venue!

eir patrons. There are no words to describe how attentive, timely, and caring the staff at The Grove are. Everyone made our wedding a dream come true. We sincerely could not have asked for anything more. A special thank you to my bridal assistant, Ashley, who was at my side with anything I needed before I could even ask, and also to Raul. All of our guests could not believe how attentive, courteous, and timely all of the staff was, in addition to how good all of the food from the cocktail hour to dinner to the Viennese hour was. I would recommend The Grove to anyone looking to get married as it truly is the best wedding venue I have been to in NJ!

my hand through every minor and major detail of my wedding and was such a huge help. Thank you to everyone at The Grove for a phenomenal and unmatchable wedding day!

ful time and we are so grateful. The guests loved the food and the personal atmosphere that came with having only one event at a time. Michael, Raul and Maggie were instrumental in assuring that our wedding day transpired flawlessly. We would highly recommend the Grove to anyone looking for a personalized, detailed, and professional event!

er and son in law wanted was accomplished, and then some. He was always easily reachable and helped to make the planning so easy. Ashley was the best bridal attendant anyone could ever ask for. She made sure my daughter had everything she could possibly need - sometimes even before being asked. Raul made sure everything ran smoothly. I had no worries with Andrew and Raul around. I enjoyed every second of my daughter's wedding. The entire staff (plus staff that wasn't even assigned to the wedding) was kind, pleasant, courteous, and attentive to the guests AND the vendors. My daughter and son in law had their dream wedding which was made possible by everyone at The Grove. Now the food.....everything was delicious...from cocktail hour to the viennese. So may people commented that this was the best wedding they ever went to. I am still getting phone calls and texts. Thank you...thank you...thank you....to Andrew and his one-of-a-kind staff for giving my kids a day/night they will always remember lovingly. It truly was the most perfect day.

ere way to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day! It is now over two weeks since our wedding and everyone who attended is still talking about it! I've heard nothing but raving reviews about the service and the food! I've even been told that my wedding was the best wedding that they have ever attended! However, this was all due to the services provided by The Grove!

AMAZING, but it is the Grove’s extraordinary management and staff’s genuine desire to host the best wedding for you that really sets this venue apart. From the first phone call to our final run through meeting, my now husband and I were always made to feel so special. After planning this wedding, both my husband and I (along with our families) feel like a part of the Grove family. The Grove’s attention to detail is beyond compare. I cannot tell you how comforting it was to know that my part of the wedding planning ended upon entry into The Grove on the morning of the wedding. I knew wholeheartedly that every single last detail would be executed exactly as I had set out. The Grove had time and time again earned my complete trust and I, a very particular/Type A bride, was able to relax and fully enjoy our big day! Whether it was the bridal attendant tapping me and literally applying more lipstick when needed or the maître d giving five minute heads-up to our parents, best man, maid of honor regarding their speeches, the attention to detail was beyond compare! Our guests are still commenting on the beauty of the venue and the attentiveness of the staff. Thank you Jimmy, Jason, Michael, Raoul, Maggie, Carla and everyone at the Grove! We had the best time and hope to celebrate with you all again soon!

pick the grove for our wedding venue. Of course after meeting twice we signed and we were so excited! From the moment we stepped into The Grove we knew that would be our wedding venue! Throughout the process everyone at the grove was with us every step of the way, it was really such an easy process, everything! And when you are going crazy wedding planning there is nothing like coming to your wedding venue and being able to relax! Now as if all that didn’t make us love the grove already, our wedding day came and WOW! We truly don’t have one bad thing to say, I mean our guests are still talking about how AMAZING the service and food was. Raul and Maggie were beyond great with us I mean literally on top of us from the moment we got there that day ensuring everything went as planned. They made sure we ate, drank and partied without a care and honestly it felt so good. I can honestly say because of their help, my husband and I enjoyed every moment of our wedding. Our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing our wedding was but also at the amazing service they received at every moment which is exactly what we ever wanted. We truly had our dream wedding and having it at The Grove just made it more magical. The Grove truly exceeded all our expectations for our wedding day!!

rs. The venue in general is beautiful and clean. The staff is helpful and attentive every moment of the day. Special thanks to Jason, Amanda, Raul, George. The food was delicious and picture perfect and never ending. The service, impeccable. So many of my guests have contacted me raving about everything and every part of the wedding. And did I mention the gorgeous, pristine bathrooms? The Grove is the best choice you can make when choosing your venue.

ot exaggerated. All their staff was unbelievable! Jason was very knowledgeable and gave us wonderful recommendations. Christina was so responsive and easy to work with. Amanda, my bridal attendant, is THE BEST. She is a life saver. The groom and all the bridal party loved Raul as well!!! Everyone is raving about the wedding. THANK YOU to THE GROVE!!!

ey're professionalism and hospitality were greatly appreciated. The venue is roomy, gorgeous, and very modern. The food is magnificent and beautifully displayed. Lastly, the experience was unforgettable. Love, The Zuccatos

us, clean and classy. Our guests were greeted with water and drinks as they arrived before the start of our intimate ceremony. The cocktail hour was unbelievable (every guest we spoke to confessed that it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever seen), and the food throughout the cocktail hour and reception was delicious and plentiful. We had extremely high expectations in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and the staff at The Grove far surpassed our expectations on our wedding day. Raul, our maitre d’, made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met him. He was always one step ahead when planning for the wedding as well as on the wedding day. You can tell that Raul genuinely loves his job – he was just as excited as our guests throughout the entire day. Raul runs the show – he was the reason we had such a flawless wedding day. My bridal attendant, Ashley, was incredibly attentive and catered to our every need. From making sure we had water during our pictures and drinks during the reception, to corseting and fluffing my dress and even re-applying my make-up, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the day without her. The rest of the staff was professional and did a great job attending to our guests. We can confidently say that we had the wedding of our dreams, thanks to the staff at The Grove!!

ballroom are right out of a fairytale. The food was amazing and as good as any fine restaurant. The cocktail hour was a showstopper! Everyone loved the "Tequila Luge", the "Comfort Food" station and the "Slider and Float" station. The main dishes of Arctic Char and Filet Mignon were delicious and beautifully plated. Everyone raved about the "Passed Viennese desserts". While venue beauty and food are, of course, hugely important, the success of an event are the people who "make it happen". I can't say enough about Dan Goldblatt, who, from the beginning assured us not to worry...we were going to get "The Grove Experience". He was never too busy to help us and always responded promptly. Ashley, the bridal attendant was waiting for us when we arrived in the morning and stayed near my daughter the entire day and night. She was amazing and took care of everything bride related. She was there helping with things before we even realized we needed help. Last, but not least, was Raul, our incomparable Maitre'd. He was everywhere and orchestrated everything! We never had to worry about a thing! He took care of it all. He was always there to ask if we needed anything and the day ran beautifully and (as far as we could see) seamlessly. Thanks to The Grove for the most beautiful "Experience"!

On the day of, my bridesmaids, family, and I got ready all day at The Grove. We were treated like royalty. Everyone who was with us throughout the day was extremely professional and amazing at their job but also personable and kind. Maggie, my bridal attendant knew what I wanted/needed before I even asked for it. She was so sweet, helpful, and comforting. I don't think I would have felt so calm without her! Raul, our Maitre D' was also unbelievable! He is SO good at what he does and you can tell he genuinely enjoys it. I was hot after photos outside and when we came in he had frozen towels ready for us to cool us down! He had everything in place, I never had to worry that something could go wrong. My husband and I felt completely at ease with our wedding in their hands. We have had nothing but compliments from the guests about the exceptional service, the amazing food, and the kindness of the staff. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, look no further. They are worth every penny!

The only flaw was we went through a handful of people who were supposed to be handling our wedding (which made me super nervous in the beginning). Then our handler had a special opportunity last minute and asked me if I minded if she went. She assured me I would be in good hands. I thought it was very kind that she asked me but at the same time I was a little disappointed that now I would be working with a 4th person right before my wedding. My worries were put to ease when we met with Jason. He was great! Everything went according to plan and all was fine. However, it did make me uncomfortable and made me have a lack of confidence in them prior to the wedding. Special shout-out to my bridal attendant, Ashley, she was AMAZING. I felt like absolute royalty from the beginning right to the end of the night. We were married in July so she made sure I was hydrated, she carried around my lip gloss and foundation for touch-ups. She blotted my neck with a cool towel because we were taking pictures outside. She brought my flip flops because my feet were hurting. She helped us pack everything away at the end of the night. She was literally at our beck and call the entire night. Her service was outstanding! All in all, I was blown away by The Grove and their services. I would definitely recommend to others! Go check it out!

ristina, Jason, Raul, Ashley and the rest of the team made us and our guests feel like absolute royalty. The entire Grove team is incredibly professional and friendly! Throughout the planning process it felt like we were working with good friends who had our best interests in mind. Not only is the staff top notch, but the facility is unbelievable! A couple of highlights include a luxurious bridal suite (actually MULTIPLE suites), a grand staircase in the ballroom for your big entrance as husband and wife, an incredible ambiance with the up lighting that is included (yes, included at no extra charge!) in the ball room and of course a delicious assortment of food (especially the sprawling Viennese hour). I wish I could relive the night over and over again – it was truly my dream wedding at the Grove!

wed us to be at ease and enjoy celebrating with our families. The delicious international cuisine surpassed all of our expectations. Presentation was artistic and plentiful. The Grove staff was professional and responsive to the needs of our guests. We commend Raul for his exceptional organizational skills. His genuine expression of hospitality in making our wedding day pure perfection. Janessa and Steven

ough out the whole process. Jason is a great guy, and went above and beyond to give my wife and I everything we wanted and then some. We were treated like we were part of the family at The Grove, and not a customer. I can't come close to expressing how grateful I am for all of the work they did for us in a review. As for the venue itself, it is worth every penny. We had 265 guest, and they are all RAVING about the food, service, and appearance of the venue. It is not catering hall food, it is like being in an upscale restaraunt in Manhattan. The Filet Mignon was better than most restaraunts that serve it, and the food is not just thrown on a plate. They take the time to dress it up and make the plate look as good as it taste. The decoration, effects, everything was not like anything I've ever seen and I have been to all of the big halls in NJ and nothing comes close to The Grove. Not to mention the way they treat you - FIRST CLASS the whole time. The staff is amazing. They go above and beyond for the guest - our bridal attendant Ashley, took such great care of my wife the whole night. Aside from our guest raving about the food - they were extemely impressed with the service as well. Each table had 2 waiters and none of our guest were left thirsty, with a dirty plate, or even an unfolded napkin the whole night. Coming from 2 big families mainly from Brooklyn and using venues out there - we've heard multiple people say they will be using the Grove after our wedding - that's how impressed they were with everything. If you're on the fence about anything, I'm urging you to go with The Grove - from service, to the food, to the experience you will have you will not be disappointed. They made sure our night went off smoothly, and was everything my wife and I wanted, and expected. If there was a 10 star option, I would select that. For Most of us, it's the biggest party we will throw - The Grove will give you everything you want your night to be, then multiplied by five.

ng--gorgeous venue and outdoor grounds, personalized attention, large bridal suites, high quality food (and tons of it!), and make sure the entire event goes off without a hitch. All of our guests were raving about the food and the venue. I really wish I could have been a guest at my own wedding :-( Just know that you are going to be paying top dollar for this top notch service. It's only for those with a very large budget, but if you have the budget it's well worth it!
