The Grove - Las Vegas Weddings at The Grove

ice we received. There was little-to-no communication or involvement by the venue after we signed the contract. Around December 21, having not heard from anyone, I finally emailed a bunch of questions to the coordinator. The response was that we needed to have a call that day to go over everything. My husband had the call where the coordinator asked many, many questions and said that she needed the answers by 4:30 that day because they were closing for the holidays (essentially until the day of our wedding). I'm glad I reached out and am curious whether (or when) they would have touched base with me. Everyone was very nice, but the communication was not great. I pulled up to the ceremony not even knowing where I needed to go or how the actual wedding would proceed. I understand not having a formal rehearsal, but a discussion would have been nice. Similar situation with the officiant. We filled out a questionnaire with preferences , which he acknowledged receiving. Then, nothing. Finally, I asked what he was going to say at the wedding and when would we meet him. He emailed me a basic outline that didn't include anything specific to us and said we would meet him a couple of minutes before the wedding. Again, this was not super comforting to me. I didn't need something elaborate, but a little more advance communication and direction would be appreciated. The ceremony itself was beautiful and the officiant was fine, which is what matters at the end of the day. We also used The Grove's preferred vendors because their pricing was the most reasonable we found. Cake Couture was very easy to work with and was fine with communication. Very reasonable pricing and we were happy with the end result. We also used Natures Florist. Again, pricing was comparatively reasonable, but communication was not great. Just a week before the ceremony, the florist emailed me to confirm our order and totally omitted the bouquet and boutonniere from the order - was strange and frustrating in light of our overall experience, but could have just been an oversight. Our centerpieces came out gorgeous. My bouquet was on par with what I wanted, however some of the flowers were wilting from the moment I received it. The Grove also forgot to give the groom his boutonniere until after the ceremony. My bouquet was falling apart and in pretty bad shape by the time we ended up at dinner about 3 hours after the florist handed over the bouquet. It included succulents, which apparently were glued to the rest of the flowers. It didn't hold and a quarter of my bouquet bent over away from the rest of the flowers, which was pretty disappointing for $175. Overall, no significant problems or issues, but I would have given a much higher rating if there was better communication and care with the wedding. It certainly would have given me better piece of mind and lessened my stress.

g all inclusive. We looked up two other all inclusive venues before booking with the Grove. The venue is beautiful and all their preferred vendors were great to work with. Zina was our coordinator; professional and kept things completely stress free for us. I can't recommend the Grove enough, they were great to work with.

decor! The cake designer was wonderful as was the food! Everyone LOVED the bartender. Our flowers turned out beautifully aside from a minor mishap that was quickly fixed by Zina, our wonderful planner! The only critique we have is about the DJ. I was told by a friend who had a wedding here earlier in the year that the DJ was her only problem as she constantly came up to the two of them throughout the night to make confirm each and every event. So to avoid that I wrote a list for the DJ to ensure all events (first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, etc) and if there were any questions I had my fathers name and set him as my point of contact. That didn't make a difference however, she continually came up to my new husband and I to let us know "we will do the cake cutting next," "soon we well do the toasts." I would have rather just had her announce what was coming with the mic (which was another slight issue, she was not very loud so the guests often had to ask her to repeat things). My only MAIN issue that I still cry about to this day is that she decided to cut off the father/daughter dance off early....???? For no reason! I NEVER requested that. She let the "cupid shuffle" play for like 6 minutes as it repeated itself over and over but cut off "Butterfly Kisses," which my dad has dreamed of dancing with me to since I was 5 years old, she cut off the entire verse about "walk me down the aisle daddy, daddy don't cry." EVERYTHING. Literally the whole point of us playing that song. I didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone but I literally break down in tears still thinking of how that went wrong. I want to just put my dress on again and go there so my dad and I can dance together again. He even had "little white flowers," from my moms veil to put in my hair...and we didn't get to. Truly though we LOVE the venue and are so incredibly happy that we chose the Grove and we would do it over and over. Our guests had a great time. Just maybe hire your own DJ.

magically. It could not have been more perfect. ***Highly recommend their number 1 recommended photographer M Place productions***

alot of the decorations and flowers ourselves (just because I'm picky no other reason). The only thing I wish was done earlier was the ceremony and reception setup. We arrived at 6 as scheduled and the ceremony wasnt set up. I didnt get a chance to even see the ceremony site before we walked down the isle. I did alot of extra work on the decorations. Married 8/16/2017

ion was perfect. The decorations were exactly what we requested and the food was very good. A special shout out to the DJ, he did magic tricks for our guests during dinner and kept the party going all night. If you are considering the Grove for your Vegas wedding I highly recommend it. The photographer from Vegas Lights took all the right pictures, even the one's we didn't know we wanted.

hat I love most about this place is the convinience of having everything in one place. Our ceremony, our area to sign the Katubah, and our reception all in one spot. They made everything work. Everything was really well organized, property is just breath taking and everything was included. Just to give you an idea for pricing. I had almost 100 people and our wedding came out to about 9k. This included the ceremony, the floral decorations, personalized Bouqet for myself and my bridesmaids I wasn't a fan of roses so I paid extra for large Cala Lily's , dj, boutinerres, an amazing three tiered cake, open bar, full menu with two meat dishes, pasta, salad, and a cheese and fruit display. I mean this place had everything ready and available. I didn't have to worry about vendors showing up late or anything, everything was right there!

ption room!! We have received so many compliments and all of our guests absolutely loved everything about our wedding! We had the time of our lives!! Thank you!

destination wedding location and booked everything sight unseen so we were a little nervous but trusted the online reviews. I was NOT disappointed! This place was everything we hoped for and more at a very reasonable price.

nicest we looked at, and even with a modest amount of decorating it looked wonderful. I did not want to spend every moment of the engagement stressing and handling wedding details, and I didn't have to. I would recommend being proactive about handling details as they tend not to reach out a lot until close to the wedding date, but they always responded promptly when I had questions. Zina, the coordinator, always gave us plenty of time and made absolutely sure we were on the same page and happy at the end of each meeting. We brought in our own centerpieces and got the supplies for a hot chocolate bar, and the staff had everything set up perfectly on the day of. The base price was extremely reasonable. With a full bar and meal, our base price was less than $80 a person. We had to have a minimum of 75 and I think the pricing goes up a little yearly, but still, it was a lot less than other places & that price included everything for the ceremony & reception except for the photographer. There were upgrades available for linens, and you can bring in your own centerpieces & decorations if you want more than the silk ones available, but I thought the linens that came included were fine. Also, & I really appreciated this, they didn't include worn folding chairs in the basic price & then charge you $15 a chair to upgrade to something nicer. Nice chairs were already included. We went to a lot of other places that were more and less inclusive, and this was definitely the best price. At the tasting, most of the chicken dishes were pretty dry, but at the tasting the beef and pork dishes were great. I honestly don't really remember how things tasted at our wedding because I was so caught up in everything, but I asked some people later and they said dinner was good, and I don't remember anything tasting bad or substandard. I'd say the biggest drawback is it is pretty far outside of town. There is a resort hotel pretty close, as well as some less expensive hotel options near it, but it's at least a half hour drive from the Strip in good traffic. The baker they use was fantastic. She was incredibly nice and easy to work with, and the cake was exactly what we asked for and delicious. The DJ was excellent. We liked all of the songs he played and he kept the party going. He checked in every so often to make sure we were happy with the music selection and to ask if we wanted any modifications or requests. I would say the only person who was a touch off-putting at first was the florist. I'm not much of an assertive person, and she wasn't the friendliest or easiest person to talk to. She wasn't rude, just sort of short and didn't volunteer a lot of information. That being said, I showed her a picture of what I wanted for the bouquets, and on the day of she had exactly what I wanted. She was somewhat intimidating, but I was perfectly pleased with her product. Overall, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed with The Grove. More than any other venue we looked at, we felt like they were focused on making our wedding what we wanted & that we were comfortable with all of the decisions, all while making it very low stress on me & my fiance. I would highly recommend them.

By the time we arrived to get ready for our wedding almost everything we'd brought to setup in the reception hall was done already. She was so patient with our large family at the rehearsal and made sure everyone knew exactly what was needed of them. Then during the wedding day she walked us through everything and was there for anything we needed..brought us water and food at the reception to make sure we were okay. She's seriously amazing! Our flowers were PERFECT. Their florist really knows what she's doing, couldn't have asked for pretty bouquets. The cake was beautiful, and delicious! It was exactly what we wanted. The grounds alone are so nice and require very little decorating. The DJ (Adam) was super friendly and on top of everything. He kept the party going, really god at reading the room for what music to play and when to switch it up. Also communicated a lot with us to make sure we were happy at all times. Our wedding at The Grove was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend this place to any couple! One more thing... it is SO AFFORDABLE! Truly is a one stop shop for am easy, beautiful, memorable wedding!

and the staff were helpful and quick to respond to questions. Upon arrival on our wedding day, everything was setup just as planned. The food was amazing, including the cake and the flowers were beautiful. Our DJ was awesome and kept us dancing all night! Thank you to everyone at The Grove who helped make our wedding unforgettable!

. Our wedding was planned for 75 guests and after shopping around we chose the Grove, but shortened our guest list to 50. When we signed the contract we assumed we we're getting the same reception hall since we we're never told or shown another, nor were we told it would be any different. It wasn't until months later, at the food tasting, just by chance of a question we asked Zina, did we find out about the smaller room. We asked to see it and it was dreadful. It has an L shaped so people on one side can't see the bride and groom or the dance floor, the roof hung very low, the walls had a cheesy design on it, basically a room we never would have agreed on. We expressed this to Zina and she seemed very forgiving. She said she can charge us $300 for the larger room as long as it isn't booked at that day and at that time. It was late Friday night and she said she can't check then, but would get back to us Monday morning at 9am. We still haven't heard from her a week later. Instead we called The Grove and spoke to Donna. She said they will not honor what Zina had told us and instead we will have to pay more money for the room and change our wedding to 1230pm from the 530pm we had agreed on; even though the room wasn't booked for our time they wanted to leave it open. Do they have two receptions going on at the same time? Anyway, I tried to ask her what they'd be willing to do for their mistake as they never told us we wouldn't be getting the room they showed us. I was okay with paying more for the big room at 530pm, or moving the time to 1230pm, but I didn't want to pay extra and move our time to 1230pm, I mean, we sent invites out and this incident was not our fault and that Monday Zina said she would get us 530pm as long as it wasn't booked. But Donna wouldn't listen. She kept yelling and talking over me and said either take what they offered or go someplace else, and then she hung up on me. I never yelled, or cursed, or lost my temper. This wasn't even a long call. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Also when asked to speak to her superior, well, that went ignored. After she hung up my fiance and I dicussed how rude she was and next thing you know my fiance gets an email. Donna had cancelled our wedding after months of planning, invites set up, contracts signed, downpayment made, and only because she wasn't willing to negotiate on a simple mistake that was made. If she had apologized for the inconvenience and showed us even a hint of respect i probably would have paid the money and changed the time, but there was no remorse or sympathy on their end. Do not use this company. Here you are just a number to be disposed of at their will. As I said, worst customer service experience ever. Well, time to find a new place to get married. We now have 3 months and have to start nearly from scratch. And that's my horror story from "The Grove". Kind of sounds like a horror film title, doesn't it?

azing. The Crystal package is well worth it. Thank you The Grove for helping me with my AMAZING DAY!!!!

ndor (which she is absolutely incredible). If you plan to handle mostly everything on your own or if you're not very picky about how things are set up, etc., then this is a great venue for you. Additional note: They have a great package that includes many of the services you will need. The 4 hour open bar was great too; our guests were very excited!

se I was too worried to just book via a website (in hindsight, the Grove is even more gorgeous in person) Our DJ/MC Francisco was THE BEST! He ran the reception and kept all our guests laughing and dancing and having a blast. Phil, the minister, was perfect. He added the perfect amount of comedy and laughter. The Food was delicious! Highly recommend the prime rib and asiago chicken. Amy at Cake Couture did a terrific job. I emailed her our colors and flavour choices and the cake was perfect and delicious. The flowers by Sherry was beautiful and exactly what I expected. We ordered shuttles and limos through The Grove and the drivers were on time and friendly and courteous. Our wedding far exceeded our expectations. Everything at the Grove was beautiful and perfect. Our guests are raving about our wedding and we are so happy we made the decision to have our wedding there!

the phone,and explained the process. The day of the ceremony, everything was handled perfectly. Zena (?? sorry if the spelling is wrong) was the coordinator and she was wonderful. She even calmed my fiance. The minister was perfect and I had plenty of time for pictures after. Even though it was short, I felt special. I know if I would have paid for more time, they would have made me even happier!

pected! Our experience overall was amazing!!! We would definitely recommend The Grove.

mony is a joke!

older siblings spent about 3 times more on their weddings but feedback from family is that mine was the most beautiful and fun. GORGEOUS decor outside where we got married. Couldn't imagine a more picturesque view. I'm from Chicago so this and put my wedding together in only 2.5 months from my engagement. Getting married in Vegas not only gave my family a little get away but it didn't feel like we got married by a cheesy elvis impersonator. Things were still traditional and we had about 60 guests. The people at The Grove were so friendly and helpful and the vendors that they used were also wonderful. I particularly mostly worked with a woman named Zina who was a big part in making everything perfect. I do not have a bad things to say about any of it. I could't imagine having gotten married anywhere else.

guests. :) Donna, our coordinator, and all the staff at the Grove did an excellent job. I did not have to worry about setting anything up during the wedding day - everything was ready by the time I arrived there. We are from out of state and we did our planning over a couple of short visits, phone and email. Everyone was responsive, I would get email answers within several hours. I would definitely recommend the Grove if you want a cozy, yet refined, garden wedding.

e. I was able to use every piece of the package even though I didn't want the bouquets (used them on the sweetheart table & in extra boutonnieres). The coordinator (Zina) was thorough and exceedingly capable. Zina even took the time after our rehearsal to show us the different roses in bloom and made sure we took a healthy whiff to 'smell the really good ones'. Having worked with them primarily long distance (I only met Zina & her team the day before the wedding), I was provided with e-v-e-r-y bit of information that I wanted (including the distance of the walk down the aisle so I knew how much music I needed and a floor plan of the small reception room for table arrangements). The vendors were wonderful to work with, especially Amy Ramsey at Cake Couture and both Nathan and Jane from Good Vibrations DJs. Our evening's playlist couldn't have been better, I mean, they found a great song from an obscure Canadian comedy band that my sisters & belted out inside the circle of guests! We experienced a last minute demand for a shuttle from The Grove to the strip (most guests didn't check off this option on their RSVP cards, and confirmed by telephone two weeks prior that they didn't need a shuttle), which we were able to book at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the wedding! The food was delicious, everyone raved but the highest compliment I received was from my cousin (who is slightly cynical) that said he "now understands what weddings are about". Perfect day, perfect venue!

ything. I also loved that although there was a package involved for almost everything, you could pick and choose what you wanted to use! The only downside I would say is that you can't work with the package to cut out expenses for the items you aren't using.

y and tasted delicious. Our Wedding Coordinator kept everything on time and organized. The setting is so gorgeous, and our small guest list of 45 fit perfectly in the Garden Terrace setting. Would highly recommend The Grove.

the best wedding food I have ever had. The Arden terrace room was decorated well to where we didn't have to bring much of our own decorations. The only thing I was kind of disappointed about was being rushed off the main grounds after the ceremony when trying to get all of our pictures done.

who doesn't want to spent a lot of time coordinating.

the amazing day, dont get me wrong, still the best day of my life. but not having the video does bother me. It was a destination wedding, live in nebraska, and i wanted the video not only for myself but for others to be able to see that could not be there. Over all, I would still pick the grove for my wedding venue but I would definitely had a family memeber also do a video. We paid the extra money for the extra 30 minutues on teh ground, which i would recommend. i dont even understand how you could do it all in 30 minutues they provide. was able to take pictures ourselves after the photographer was done so that was really nice. Limo was early to pick us up so we had plenty of time to get ready. Got first look pictures done with me and the groom. Phil was our officiant and he was so great! Loved him. We had a friend sing during our sand ceremony, and that was beautiful. We were able to stop by the day before the wedding ot go over things and also leave our programs, sand ceremony, and guest book with them so a few less things to worry about on the wedding day. So overall, loved it but did let me down with not remembering to do the video. Not sure how that even happened, so therefore its hard for my to recommend to others but i wouldnt change anything about it (minus making sure had that video done!) Oh also xina was our cordinator. Oh and the flowers were beautiful!! Sherri does a great job, i just wanted daisys. She sprayed white daisies purple for me and the groom to wear. Loved!

here was so helpful and sweet. I talked to Zina about a hundred times and she was so great!! When we got there on out wedding day it couldnt have been more perfect. Everyone was so thoughtful and made it just that much better. Ill never forget the Grove and how memorable they made our wedding day!!!

the way everything turned out. Even though my husband forgot the marriage license and the CD I wanted to have playing as I walked down the aisle, Donna my wedding coordinator and Reverend Phil Larimore the officiant were very accommodating. The weather was perfect for a June wedding in Vegas. This location is a few degrees cooler than the rest of the Vegas valley. My one complaint would be about the limo driver. We had the limo for 45min, but for some odd reason the driver assumed we were in a hurry and we arrived at our destination in 25min with my husband and I holding on for dear life in the back. His speeding was unnecessary and he rudely asked for gratuity. Overall my experience with the grove was great just not so much with the limo service.

houlder when I was freaking out at the rehearsal! And on the wedding day, she got my husband and I a drink and a plate of food at the start of the night. Very good service. Everything just went so smoothly from the moment we got to the Grove up until the end of the night. There were some hiccups, but they were so minimal that they didn't matter in the end. The food was delicious, the staff pleasant to work with, the flowers were exactly what I wanted, and our cake looked (and tasted) GREAT. We had asked the in-house baker Amy to do something very complicated and I personally just expected something simple (we wanted an edible figurine of our cat), but it was very well done. She had even added texture so that it looked like fur! And yes, some things were kind of expensive, but all in all, we came in under budget! All in all, awesome job, Grove! I'd recommend them to anyone who was having a wedding in Las Vegas, but didn't want it to turn into a Las Vegas wedding!

your wedding.

and coordinating with Tracy and Zina was so easy. They are quick to respond to email/phone messages. Everything we talked about during my initial meeting (from minor details regarding decorations to cost) was consistent all the way through the planning process, no hidden costs. We used all of their vendors and hired an additional photographer because our package did not include reception photography. DJ-Good Vibeations: Very professional. We could tell that they were very experienced and new how to MC a wedding. He really kept the reception running smooth and made sure my husband and I both were on the same page as him. They played only the music genre's and artists we selected in addition to taking requests from our guests. Florist: Overall her work was really nice. But, if you decide to use them through the Grove, make sure you know what you want. When I first met with her to discuss flowers, I assumed she would have brought a portfolio or atleast flowers in season for a September wedding. She showed up with a yellow notepad and paper... My flowers turned out very nice but I am not a hard to please person and flowers weren't my main focus. Baker-The Grove's: Very nice and personable to work with, and her work was great! Our cake was just like we talked about in our meeting and it exceeded our expectations. Officiant-Jimmy Mac: He came with our package through The Grove and he was great! I felt like he personalized our ceremony and it wasn't cookie cutter at all. He took time to get to know us a little and is very accomodating. He was more than happy to do a special reading for us. He is a really funny and laid back guy. I am happy that I called him a couple weeks before the wedding to introduce myself and get to know him a little better. Photographer-The Grove's (Can't remember their name): I haven't received any pictures yet from the wedding and it's been 4 weeks :( The photographer seemed to have taken lots of photos...but we booked Bently and Wilson photography in addition and I was more focused on them. Photographer2: Todd Wilson, Bently and Wilson photography-He was great to work with! I felt very comfortable being photographed with him and he was very easy to understand as far as what he needed from us to get a nice picture. He is very reasonably priced and very professional and punctual. His work is quality and I would work with him again in the future. Food-The Grove's: The food was awesome...I only had a couple of bites because I was so busy meeting with guests but everyone was very pleased with the taste and amount of food that was served. My husband and I received numerous compliments on how "beautiful" and "nice" the place was. If you are looking for a typical Vegas wedding, this is most likely not your place. It has an intimate feel to it and is far away We had a midmorning wedding and the weather was great.

ator was AMAZING. Thank you are a wonderful wedding :) :)

took care of everything (which was such a relief as bride, and master-planner), the food was excellent (the guests loved the chicken stuffed with mushroom risotto and bistro salad!) and best of all, for my wallet, the prices were EXTREMELY fair. We had a wonderful, magical night with our family and friends, and I didn't break the bank! If you are looking for a Las Vegas wedding without having it look like you "got-married-in-Vegas", the Grove is the place to go!!

s of research on the internet. I came across The Grove, and fell in love with it. I called and talked with Zina (who is amazing), and informed her of our situation, and she was very understanding and talked with me on the phone for quite a while, and she was very informative. My husband I talked with our families and decided this was the place for us. They have many packages to chose from, at reasonable prices. More bang for your buck. I would like to first state that things with family situation did not make life easy for my husband and I. As Zina(even through all of the ups and downs of planing our wedding with The Grove) she was very professional, and understanding of what was going on, and willing to work with us 100%. We originally were going to have our wedding reception at The Grove; but our guest list kept growing even when we informed our parents that money was very tight, and we could not afford to pay for all the extra people. I called Zina upset and frustrated. She suggested that maybe we try to find a place that we could afford for all of the extra guests. I asked her if she new of anything. She made some suggestions and restated that it would probably cost the same if not more. So I took her advise and called around and my husband and I decided to go with a different venue for our reception. Zina worked with us and was very understanding of our decision. We paid the fee for changing and everything was set. She could of been a lot different about what happened. But she was professional, and friendly, and very helpful. As for a review of the property, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful outdoor venue on a budget. It is not only budget friendly, it is 5star elegance at a 2star price. The venue is more breath taking in person; the photos on the website don't all of its beauty. Every on of our guest came up to us at the reception, and commented on how beautiful the grounds were. Most every one thought it was going to be a cheese Vegas wedding chapel. The nice thing about the location is it is off the strip about 25 min drive. In a beautiful neighborhood, off the main road. It is quiet, and seclusive. When you have your wedding, you and your guests are the only ones there. No other weddings taking place, no other strange people watching your wedding. The one and only complaint that my husband and I have is that we should of paid for more time on the grounds. The extra half hour we paid for was just not long enough to get all of the photos we wanted to get. I would highly recommend if you have a large family like we did, to see if you can pay for a full hour of use on the grounds for family photos.

bargain price tag. I had no idea I was signing up for my dream wedding. They were so attentive every step of the way. I got everything I asked for. Their coordinators were outstanding in communicating my vision to the vendors whom I would never have the chance to meet. You can imagine that under these circumstances I had to keep my expectations low. But every girl dreams of the perfect day. Our wedding day EXCEEDED my expectations. The orchard proved to be the most incredible back drop for the decor I chose and my photographer was able to capture GORGEOUS photos on this property! I have had so many compliments on the food, the gorgeous cake (in taste AND in decor), the flowers, the excellent DJ, the lighting. All things I had only discussed OVER THE PHONE. They even have shuttles and limos to get you and your guests back and forth from the strip with ease. The day was flawless. Get the most for your money here. My New York/L.A. guests were impressed and had a great time. Yours will, too.

wn covered by staff! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get married in Vegas but not wanting the "traditional Vegas wedding"
