The Grove Event Center

l). The Grove was the perfect place for such an event. Their packaged deals make everything so easy to plan. We got the venue, tables, chairs, lighting, linens, alcohol, etc. all for a SUPER affordable price. Additionally, we received so much help and support from Thom and Karen. They run a tight ship, but are also caring and professional. They go over all the little details to ensure your wedding is just how you imagine and respond quickly. On the day of the event, Karen was exactly where I needed her, when I needed her. I can't thank her and Thom enough for all they did. I highly recommend the Grove to the bride who wants to party and celebrate love with those closest to her in an easy-going yet professional environment.

will definitely have The Grove at the top of my list for future venues. Thank you so much for a beautiful, enjoyable and exciting time.

ity! very easy to work with and always got back with answers to questions in a timely manner! Thanks Thom and Karen!

ng. Thom & Karen are very professional and followed up on every email and phone call I placed with them regarding the details of our wedding. The price was reasonable and the list of approved caterers were diverse and affordable. On the day of our event, Thom was there early assisting my wedding team with questions that needed to be answered as well as overall set up with our decor. I did not think I would receive this much hands on accomodations, but Thom went over and beyond our expectations. I will definitely miss working with him and Karen and I wish you both all the best and thanks for absolutely everything. Love you guys.

of and made planning a breeze! I loved The Grove!!

If you are looking for a venue that with make your visions come true all while providing exemplary customer service,patience, humor and affordability then look no further! I cant wait to host another event and use The Grove! You will absolutely love Thom and Karen.

eone to talk to to set up a time to go view the venue before I got anywhere, despite having left several voicemails & a callback number. There are two people that are consultants at The Grove: Thom & Karen. Thom has no involvement ever when it comes to viewing The Grove. He does all the bookkeeping & answers the phone, but Karen is the one that does the viewings. Karen & Thom seem to do very little communicating about who has appointments when, & how these appointments go, etc. We went out & viewed the place & both immediately fell in love with it, but wanted to run it by my parent. We loved the place, though, & didn't want to risk losing it, so we placed a 2 week hold. We NEVER were given anything in writing stating we had a hold, despite the fact Karen put our information on a piece of paper with the date of initial viewing & date our hold would be up. We went back with my parents one week later to view the venue again, & NOTHING was mentioned by Karen about us having a hold on the venue, or wanting to extend our hold when we were there. I'm guessing Thom had all the paperwork, because we had to remind her what date we were looking at since she didn't have our info on her. With no piece of paper or anything to remind us we had a hold, we had forgotten about it over the course of the busy week between viewings. At the end of our 2nd viewing, we told Karen that we DEFINITELY wanted to have our reception there, we just needed to book the church. She said ok & she would let Thom know. This was 1 week before our hold was up. Over the course of the next week, we heard NOTHING from The Grove. No reminder calls or emails that our hold was going to expire soon, & were we still interested. I contacted Thom in mid-July & set up an appointment with him to go in, sign the contract, & make the deposit. The evening of the appointment when we arrived, we were informed he ran home real quick, so we waited around for nearly 45 minutes! He informed us he put down our appointment type & time wrong! He thought we were there for a viewing an hour later than our appointment time to finalize things! He apologized, then checked his calendar & informed us the venue was now booked for our date (extended hold). Another couple placed a ONE MONTH hold on the venue (to finalize details) 3 days before I contacted Thom to set up a time to sing the contract, & he ADMITTED to me that he failed to check his calendar to see if our date was still available! He called the couple & they informed him they DEFINITELY wanted the place. When we had stated before we needed to finalize details, we weren't granted an extended hold!! Thom is very disorganized & doesn't seem to be in proper communication with Karen! If you choose to go with this venue, get EVERYTHING in writing & follow up CONSTANTLY with Thom because he doesn't follow up with anyone!! I have had venues I didn't even have a hold with call me within a week of visiting them to follow up, yet Thom doesn't check his calendar nor follow up! Due to their disorganization, we lost the reception venue we had our hearts set on!

personalize alcohol selections at the bar, and everything costs. Little more. The services are great but I wish the chair covers did not cost so much extra to have.

lace. The dance floor was huge and amazing, the linens provided were beautiful and the people were AMAZING to work with. I would recommend this hall to ANYONE!

nswered any and all of our questions! The reception hall provides many great services to help decorate and really dress up the place to make it unique to your own wedding, and Thom is there to help every step of the way. Also, the rental price is a great deal for what you get! I loved our wedding reception and it all went wonderfully well!

main restooms, and amazing help from Thom and Karen!!! They made everything run so smoothly!! Also, the cost of the hall goes to help running the Senior Center next store! Everything was so beautiful, it was beyond my imagination! I was so excited!!

and made sure everything was what I wanted. Thank you so much!

ll our questions. He worked with on on any request we had. He was AWESOME. Loved it. The place looked awesome. The dance floor was huge. The beers were the big plastic bottles - how sweet! The Bride got her own personal bath/powder room. And we got our name in lights on the Springfield Township sign! Thom Schneider is brilliant!
