The Grove is the MOST amazing venue spot. I have now hosted three events there and each once has been amazing. Their team takes care of everything so that the stress is off of you ...
and the event space is beautiful so you can do a lot with really minimal decor to make an elevated event. Most importantly the food is always a hit!
