Venue at the Grove

My Husband and I had our wedding at the end of September. We were so worried about how unusually hot it was going to be out. Alyssa and the team were so kind to accommodate our last minute request to move the reception inside which helped tremendously . They had 3 coolers set out to keep our guest cool during cocktail hour and during the evening dancing . Alyssa was very professional during the whole experience. She kept the whole night running very smoothly. Would highly recommend venue at the grove!

My now husband and I had the most perfect wedding at Venue at the Grove. We fell in love with the venue when we went to their open house and booked it almost immediately. From the start the communication from VATG and the Olaya events team was perfect. We always knew what step was next. The venue has an awesome group of preferred vendors. We had Ben, our catering manager for Ensemble catering who went out of his way for us. Stephani, our day of coordinator was fantastic and was there for us every step of the way. Tony George, our photographer has to be one of the best photographers. He is a gem and a joy to work with and his work is perfect. Chad with All American DJ is such a great guy to work with! He kept us entertained and on the dance floor all night. He also has a great network for those looking for a little something extra for your wedding. He helped us book our live wedding painter, Kat with KM Fine Art Studio, who did such a great job with the painting of us on our wedding day. Sugarlips Cakery made a delicious cake for us, and it was stunning! Our florist, Patricia with Wild Child Floral Design gave us exactly what we were looking for with the florals. The rest of the VATG and Olaya staff kept our day on track, kept the bar stocked and kept us fed all night long. I would highly recommend checking out Venue at the Grove. It is stunning during the day, but at night with all of the lights on it's like you are stepping into a fairy tale. The venue is clean and classic with a modern and rustic fit in it.

My wife and I could not express enough how great our entire wedding experience was with Venue at the Grove. Here are a few down to earth notes to take away. The planning process was incredibly simple. With all the moving parts weddings encompass, the staff were very flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to make our day as special as it was. The setting for the ceremony and reception felt like we were in another world. Again, the planning for how we wanted our items set up were seamless with the staff's help. They made sure all the details we wanted were accommodated for. Lastly, but certainly very important and helpful was the cleanup for the end of the night. Staff were on point with making sure we had all our belongings and items needed prior to departing the venue. We had no worries with making sure everything was cleaned up and accounted for. Overall, our day was perfect and so happy we chose Venue at the Grove. Between the early consultations for planning, the beautiful setting, and logistics at the end of the night, I would recommend this venue to anyone searching for a location for their special day.

I went to the open house last year and fell in love with the Venue at First sight. The grass, pecan trees, citrus trees, and then 40,000 lights sold the deal. We got married on 5/25/24, with almost all guests flying in. Every guest commented on how romantic the venue was. Stephanie and Ben were the best; they were both very professional and provided their expertise when needed. I can't forget how the ceremony went perfectly due to the support and always encouraging staff, especially Ben. Ensemble Catering is a part of the venue, and being that I have mostly foodie friends, everyone thought the food was delicious. The late-night Fries and Cookie Wall were discussed for the next few days when guests called to say how much they enjoyed the evening. Another consideration in my 5-star review is that the vendors in the package and on their website were just as great to work with. My husband and I are so grateful to everyone who worked that day and all the others who helped plan and make it the best day of our lives. We specifically worked with Got You Covered DJs, Sugarlips Bakery, TonyGeorgePhoto, Ensemble Catering, Wildchild Flowers, and AllTheLovelyLeigh Details. Below are photos from guests, not TonyGeorge. The wedding was about a week ago.

Venue at the Grove made our wedding nothing short of perfect. So organized and was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. Will recommend to anyone getting married looking for the perfect venue!

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. It is covered in trees and grass and everything is very lush and well maintained. Even in early May when high's are nearing 100, the shade from the trees and the grass heatsink allows for a extremely pleasant outdoor wedding. The brick and stringlights add to occasion and the overall layout is well thought-out and allows the event to flow seemlessly. The staff are top notch and always willing and able to go the extra mile to help out and get any answers along the planning process. From the catering director to the chef to the servers to the coordinator, everyone made the process all the more enjoyable and with minimal stress. Everyone was very easy to work with and always available - emails and calls were always answered within a day if not much much sooner. The in-house catering was fantastic as well, including the bartender. Our wedding went perfectly and there really isn't anything critical to say about any part of it. I would only note that the prices are significant, not just up front for the venue packages but also for any kinds of "upgrades" you may want (i.e. seat cushions, love seat, etc).

I am the Mother of the Bride. We looked at about 6 venues before we chose Venue at the Grove. There was no doubt in our mind when we arrived. . .this charming, lush, and delightful escape from the Phoenix desert was the place where the magic would happen! An all-inclusive wedding location was highly important to us. By having a list of preferred vendors, you knew that you could trust the service and products they supplied. Let me tell you, they exceeded our every expectation. We had a couple of meetings with Alyssa and Stephanie well in advance of the wedding. Just about every detail you can think of, and more, was identified and planned out well in advance. The tracking system they use is highly organized and user friendly. Friends and family were checking in to see how things were going. We were not highly stressed like many mother/daughter duos, as the staff at the venue made the planning process easy and simple. There were a number of times we called and had additional questions. Each and every time, they answered them with a smile. They truly care. At the end of the day, everything we did during those months of planning was magically executed. All our friends and family had so much fun, and said it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies and receptions they ever attended. That was great, but what really made me joyful and brought tears to my eyes, was when my daughter looked at me that night and said, “I love you Mama, this wedding is just perfect!” A huge shout out to Alyssa, our wedding day director, and her team of warriors for making this the best day of our lives!

Communication: The staff is extremely communicative, and they answered our every random question down to the very last-minute, small details. Specifically, Stephanie and Alyssa are OUTSTANDING. They both deserve raises for being so kind and generous with their time, answering all of our questions, and on the day, taking excellent care of our guests. And, our wedding day was flawless as a result. They knocked it out of the park. Attention to Detail: We are planners, so we may have gone overboard with planning, but we really didn’t have to do a thing on our wedding day other than show up and get married. The biggest and smallest details were catered to in equal amounts — no item was too small to be paid attention to. We went through numerous changes to our dining setup at the last minute due to faulty rentals on our end, and you truly wouldn’t have noticed. Venue Scenery: The grounds were so well-manicured, and we had numerous guests tell us “this was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to.” Granted, our florist did an outstanding job as well, but to find a lust, green forest-like venue in Arizona is almost unheard of. The facility is extremely clean and so well-maintained that it really felt like an oasis in the desert. Quality of Service: The entire staff was so attentive towards our guests, and they were truly fantastic. Not that we had any doubts, but we approached some of our guests who had dietary restrictions just to ensure that they were taken care of, and they spoke very highly of the service they received. Even down to stowing a secret bottle of booze at the bar with a codeword so that it wouldn’t get used up right away — their staff was amazing.

Our wedding experience with Venue at the Grove was magical. We chose not to hire a wedding planner despite us having extremely demanding jobs and hours. The team at the Venue really helped us along in the process and kept us on track. We 10/10 recommend their services. Not only is the venue beautiful and amazing when it all comes together but looking back on the experience and having them work with us was something we are so grateful for. Anyone who books their wedding wouldn’t have a bad experience because the team truly answered so many questions for us and were so flexible and most of all, responsive and kind. They are true professionals.

This venue was amazing! The space is incredibly beautiful and everyone who contributed to the day made the process and planning as easy as possible. It was very stress free! Our day-of coordinator, Stephanie, was also incredible! She made everything run on time and smooth. She kept a smile on her face through the entire day and made us feel so special. Highly recommend if you are looking for a stress-free and beautiful outdoor venue for your wedding day!!

They blew us away! We could not have imagined a better wedding for our daughter from beginning to end. I felt like we stepped into the garden of Eden last Saturday. It was the most beautiful wedding ceremony and reception EVER! Lush green grass and trees with birds chirping and sunshine gently peeking through the trees provided the most glorious setting. It was like having one foot here and the other in heaven. We worked with the most exceptional Sales Manager, Mary Kate, from beginning to end and sweet Stephanie was our Event Manager. Both were phenomenal and lived up to all their core values listed on their website, and then some! I cannot say enough good things about them and the venue. They provided all the options and walked our daughter through planning her wedding every step of the way. Everything was precisely executed and flawlessly completed on her wedding day. Mary Kate had all the venue staff and vendors carry out every single detail from our first meeting with her to her personally packing up our car at the end of the night! The whole wedding planning process was unbelievably easy and fun for our daughter. She was never under any stress and was able to enjoy everything from beginning to end! Be sure to arrive at 2 with a ceremony beginning at 5. This way you’ll have ample time to enjoy the bride and groom rooms that come with charcuterie boards, snacks and drinks, getting dressed, first look and capture all the family photos before the happy tears come during the ceremony.

We got married at Venue at the Grove in April and it was the best experience from beginning to end! Planning with the venue is stress free and easy from the start. They always got back to us quickly when we had questions and made wedding planning so smooth for us. We were blown away on our wedding day about how well everything was planned and executed perfectly. We were able to fully enjoy our day because our coordinator, Alyssa, took care of everything. If you’re thinking of getting married here I could not recommend it more, it’s so beautiful and everyone there is so organized your day will go off without a hitch!

We looked at a lot of venues with mountain views but after the sun goes down there is nothing to look at anymore, so when we got to venue at the grove, we were pleasantly surprised, we found something much better! A green oasis: lush green grass and perfect rows of pecan trees in full bloom. And at night? Everything comes alive as the trees light up from top to bottom 🙌🤍 They have 2 get ready suites, a separate section for cocktail hour with the most beautiful brick flooring, lawn games, and a cute barn door entrance in the back in which we chose to hang rain lights and a neon sign. Looking to make an entrance for the ceremony? They have these beautiful wooden doors that fly open when you go to make your entrance! On top of the venue being absolutely stunning it was all-inclusive as well which made our lives much easier and their vendors they partner with were very responsive, professional, and honestly a joy to work with! Shout out to Tony George! Venue at the grove has the best and happiest team, we loved working with everyone we encountered! Hands down the best day 🤍💍

The team at Venue at the Grove was amazing! They were so helpful walking us through all of our options throughout the planning experience. I am so grateful for their flexibility on everything during our day-of timeline and design! Throughout our wedding day, the team was immensely helpful in making sure everything proceeded as it should. They handled all the small details leading up to and on the day and I cannot thank them enough. I wouldn't change a thing about that day - all thanks to Venue at the Grove!

I could not recommend this venue enough. The level of professionalism, communication and attentiveness is out of this world. When it comes to wedding planning it can be so stressful and Venue at the Grove took all the pressure off of me! Everyone tells you to expect your wedding day to not be perfect but I can honestly say my wedding was PERFECTION!! All of the vendors and staff were so attentive and sweet always making sure my now husband and I were taken care of at all times. All of my guests couldn’t get over the beauty of this venue and spoke so highly of everyone working. I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is but you truly have to experience it for yourself and see how in awe you are.

When we walked into Venue at the Grove last March, we instantly knew this was where we would be getting married - and we weren’t even engaged yet! The first person to greet us was Mary Kate, who we absolutely loved working with, and was so knowledgeable about the property and was able to paint a clear picture of what our day would look like. After going to several venues that were all run under the same company umbrella - essentially giving you a cookie cutter wedding - we loved the uniqueness of a grove wedding in Arizona. When planning a wedding and picking out a wedding venue you want to look at what will get you the most for your money that you’re spending. We feel like Venue at the Grove and Olaya had the best value for the money that you were spending without completely breaking the bank. Weddings are expensive but don’t need to make you go bankrupt! We worked closely with Bekah to plan the details where you get to pick out and customize everything. Our day of coordinator was Stephanie and she was amazing. Keeping us calm and took care of all the details so we didn’t have to. Alyssa and Ben were also there to make sure our day was picture perfect and ran seamlessly. Our food was delicious, servers were friendly, and bartender was great! Everyone they contract with is top tier and we’re a little biased, but we LOVED our photographer Andrea Neff and our DJ Chad with All American DJs. Our cake and cupcakes were through Sugar Lips Cakery and Florals were with Wild Child Florals. Again, all contracted vendors with the Grove. Everyone listed, and others not, came together to make our day everything we could have dreamed of and will cherish forever and ever!! Thank you Venue at the Grove & Olaya Events for the best day of our lives!

Our wedding was the most fun we’ve ever had at a wedding and I truly believe it was because of our venue and the staff! We had the best time working with Alyssa and all of the Olaya events team! They listened to everything we wanted, we were able to upgrade some things (adding in an extra bar during cocktail hour to reduce lines, extra appetizers, being at the venue earlier for pictures, etc) it was the best day ever

It’s hard to put into words just how amazing Venue at the Grove truly is! Everything from the planning process to our wedding day was fantastic. The team truly loves what they do and have fun making your day everything you want it to be. Hands down choosing a venue that with an exclusive list of vendors made the entire planning process that much easier and more enjoyable. Being able to check those things off our to-do list so early on gave us so much more time to focus on the more personal details of our day. The team is super accommodating with meeting options during the planning process with virtual and in-person options. We personally chose to go in-person as much as possible because we couldn’t get enough of the beauty of this venue. We’re both from the Midwest and this venue looks nothing like an outdoor Arizona venue. People are shocked when we told them we only looked at this Venue, but it caught my eye immediately and I fell in love. The team here are true professionals at everything wedding, not only that, they’re passionate. They really made all of our wedding dreams come true!! Seeing everything you’ve gathered during the planning process - boxes of decorations taking over your house for months - perfectly placed and arranged is a feeling we will never forget. You have these visions in your mind for months and months, lay things out in your home, but when you finally see everything together…..it’s really magical. I can honestly say the day of was a breeze. No stressful moments, just enjoying our day with our people. The team handles everything you need and goes the extra mile to make sure the bride and groom are the guests of honor.

My daughter got Married at the Venue at the Grove. It was Magical! The venue was so pretty (Not your typical desert looking venue for AZ) The ceremony under the pecan trees was park like and beautiful. The reception area was another spot we got to utilize with a fun vibe and easy to mingle. The patio for the reception was open but yet cozy and with all the beautiful table settings and the lights on the trees behind us as the sun set- it was stunning. We also used the indoor area for food catering and dancing later. It was terrific! The staff was so helpful and friendly all thru planning and the day/night of the wedding. We had so many compliments of how amazing the night was, and alot of credit is for the staff and the venue itself. My daughter and son in law were so happy the choose The Venue at the Grove.

Whenever anyone asked me how wedding planning was going, I always them that the only reason why I wasn't so stressed was because Venue at the Grove made the planning process so easy and simple. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, the planning is strategic based on your wedding date so everything is planned in well-thought-out pieces. So much of the process is included with the venue itself, and the vendors are just as organized and thoughtful. Everyone on the VATG team treats you with respect (even after many, many silly questions) and goes out of the way for you. I couldn't recommend them enough!!

Immediately after visiting Venue at the Grove we were ready to book with them! They were thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire planning process. We booked a little late, about 8 months before our date but we were able to have our dream wedding with everything we could have hoped and wished for. They were very considerate of all our requests and had answers to all our questions. They had a very well-organized planning tracker and assisted with many vendor recommendations. Choosing one of their all-inclusive packages (catering, photographer, DJ, florist) made planning easy as we live out of state! When it came to the big day, our coordinator Stephanie had everything and everyone taken care of! We can't thank you enough for making our wedding feel like a fairytale.

Absolutely beautiful venue and a wonderful team. Everything was so organized, and the staff was awesome in helping our big day go perfectly!! Our day of coordinators Bekah & Stephanie were amazing!!

Cannot say enough great things about Venue at the Grove and Olaya Events & Company! From the moment we decided on this venue we had a wonderful experience. The event management team was always friendly and made sure to get back to me on every question I asked. The preferred vendor recommendations really helped us pick vendors we knew we could trust. We had a couple meetings with the venue at six months and 30 days out where we really went over every detail. The tracking system was organized and easy to use. Most important to us was how well everything was executed on wedding day! Everything went smooth and just how we discussed. I did not have to worry about anything because Stephanie and her crew had everything down perfectly. It truly was one of the most wonderful experiences and best days ever!

I previously worked for the Venue at the Grove team as an Event Manager and cannot rave about the professionalism and excellence of this venue enough! Not only is the physical space stunning (hello pecan grove in the middle of the desert), but the people behind the scenes are some of the most passionate, solution-oriented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working alongside. The venue team - from catering to event managers to vendors - is always looking for new ways to create extraordinary experiences for the venue's couples, guests and vendors, which is apparent in how seamless the full experience is from booking to the big day. If you're looking for a gorgeous outdoor venue and a vendor team of the best in the business, get married at Venue at the Grove!

Venue at the Grove was phenomenal. Everything that I envisioned for my wedding they made it happen and went above and beyond. Bekah was my wedding planner and she was incredible. I literally have no complaints and wish I could relive my wedding day over again.

Venue at the Grove was amazing to work with! Their team answered all of our (many) questions so quickly and made us feel incredibly supported throughout the process. We received so many compliments from guests on how smooth the whole the night was. Coming from out of state it was really important to us to find a one stop venue and using their preferred vendors, Venue at the Grove went above and beyond. From the flowers, to the dessert, to the photography and catering service, everything was perfect. Bekah and her team truly made our dream wedding happen and we are so happy!

The staff were always so friendly and nice to us. Every time we had an issue or question they were willing to help fix it or address it. My now husband and I weren’t bothered with any concerns on our wedding day. Bekah, Ben, and the team made sure that we were having the time of our lives and everyone else was bothered with the details.

My husband and I just got married in early May 2023 and from the day we set foot on the Venue at the Grove property we knew this was a place we wanted to get married. Living in Phoenix we are used to the very brown desert scenery and the venue at the grove offers a truly dreamy escape. Just go stand under those trees and it will take your breath away! But if you want the green make sure to go between about **May to December.** One thing we did not know was that the Pecan tree leaves fall off from about mid December to mid April and the venue appearance changes between the winter months. All the vendors recommended by the venue were easy to talk to and very reasonable. The food was delicious. Multiple guests commented on it during the wedding. The event coordination was seamless and kept the wedding running on time. They were also very receptive to questions during the entire process and never made me feel like I was asking too many. They let me come down to the venue on random occasions and measure things to plan for decor. We had a wonderful time and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Venue at the Grove team for making our day so special!

We got married at Venue at the Grove on February 25, 2023 and we had an extraordinary experience from start to finish! I knew this was our venue when I first stepped foot in the open house and teared up, but it truly couldn't have been more perfect. We had the best day ever and so did our guests! The planning process was as close to stress-free as possible when you're getting married. With the all inclusive package, we knew that the vendors we were picking from were vetted and reliable. When it was time to select a vendor, the team reached out with our options. For the DJ and Photographer, we had several choices and just had to select the one that best fit our vision for our special day. There was only one vendor option for floral and for cake but we were incredibly satisfied with both options. After we selected each vendor, the team would reach out to them and start the process for us. The vendor would reach out directly for us to move forward with them. We had 2 official planning meetings with the Venue, along with a tasting and many, many emails back and forth. They were there for every question we had, big or small, and never made us feel annoying for asking. They were organized and thought of every little detail to make sure the day ran smoothly. We worked with the whole team until our final planning meeting, where we met with our Day of Coordinator, Rachel. Rachel was absolutely fantastic. My whole family could not stop raving about her (and honestly they still haven't!) We dropped off our decor at the rehearsal and she took care of everything else. When I walked through the venue on the day of our wedding, everything was laid out exactly how I imagined it (or better). I can't explain how great it was to just enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about any of that getting done. Our family and our wedding party got to enjoy the day right by our side and didn't have to help set anything up. The day ran smoothly and Rachel was there for anything we needed. At one point Rachel and my sister (Maid of Honor) were completely under my dress, making the bustle perfect, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about her willingness to go above and beyond for your special day! At the end of the wedding, the team had everything packed up and ready to go home with our designated person. Again, our family and friends did not have to leave the ceremony to help with any of this and got to enjoy it until the very end. We are so thankful for Rachel and the whole team at Venue at the Grove for making our wedding experience the best it possibly could be, from start to finish!

Venue at the Grove was the perfect venue to have our wedding!! Everything went so smooth from the start to the finish. The staff was incredible! Since the moment I started planning, Rachel Poole, Bekah, and the rest of VATG staff was attentive, communicative, and helped answer all my questions and fulfill all of my requests. They made it easy on me! Ben and the rest of the food and beverage staff at the venue was top notch! He helped us with our tastings, provided recommendations, and our wedding guests raved about the food. And the venue itself...incredible!! As the sun went down, and the lights on the trees turned on, our guests were in awe. We have received so many compliments about just how beautiful the trees, lights, and whole reception were. Made for truly beautiful pictures as well! Seriously if you are looking for the perfect wedding experience, with no hassle, amazing vendors, the most helpful and friendly staff, and an absolutely beautiful unique venue pick here!! I can't recommend Venue at the Grove enough!

The best word to describe our wedding day at Venue at the Grove is MAGICAL! Weddings are stressful but working with the Olaya team made the whole planning process not only easy and stress free but fun! This venue’s beauty speaks for itself and the variation of spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception help set the mood and gave a great flow for the entire event. Venue at the Grove transports you and your guests to a lush, romantic, outdoor wedding space in the middle of the Phoenix desert. There is nothing like it in the Valley! We also can’t say enough amazing things about our day of coordinator Rachel. She had such an infectious calm presence and did such a brilliant job staying on top of the little details and making sure things moved seamlessly. Ben, the catering manager was beyond helpful and friendly and we were happy to have him be a part of our day. Venue at the Grove truly is a one of a kind event space that helped make our day unforgettable!

The Venue at the Grove is a beautiful location and comes with an amazing team! Throughout our planning process, they quickly responded to emails, answered questions, provided additional resources, scheduled meetings, and were there for us whenever needed. The team worked with us to ensure that our day went smoothly and was everything that we hoped it would be. Afterward, guests from our big day even mentioned how kind and thoughtful the staff was and that they felt cared for. Our day-of-coordinator, Rachel, was very knowledgeable and helped us create a timeline that fit our needs and ensured that everything was perfect on our wedding day.

Venue at the Grove is fanastic! It is a beautiful venue - such a gem in the midst of lots of other venues that offer a desert vibe. The staff is organized, communicative, friendly, and accommodating. We planned nearly everything from Australia and I felt confident and supported the entire way throught the process. Definitely recommend!

Venue at the Grove was truly a dream. It was the perfect fall tree look for our early December wedding and we had so many compliments on the beauty, the food, and all the details in between. We were very hesitant at first because of the price point even for a weekday wedding, but ultimately so glad we chose Venue at the Grove. Being all inclusive took a lot of stress off while my husband and I had limited time to do so much planning. They listened to what we were envisioning, understood when we changed our minds on details, always answered all the questions about how to even plan a wedding, and even on the day of were able help when we forgot things. Overall, we are so happy with this venue and all their awesome staff!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. From beginning to end, the staff were amazing. Made the entire planning process seamless. Bekah, Rachel and Madison were there to answer all questions and were amazing. My guests raved about the food from ensemble catering and about the cake from Sugarlips Cakery. The venue itself is ABSOLUTELY stunning. The pictures that I have seen so far are beautiful. The trees are stunning. Tiffany from Tiffany and Ryland Photography was my photographer and she was great with keeping the timeline and in gathering all our requested shots. Our DJ was DJ Chad from All American DJ and my guests loved him. He had us dancing all night. I would recommend doing the Love Story option he offers. Definitely tour this venue as the staff and facilities were extraordinary. Olaya made my wedding day magical.

Choosing venue at the grove was our best decision ever. Bekah was the BEST day of coordinator. There isn't a thing I would have changed about our day! The day went so smoothly, and we didn't have to do a thing. I could not be more thankful for the staff and Bekah, every single one of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been too!

We fell in love with this location as soon as we saw it! The beautiful outdoor space and all the trees covered in tiny lights set the stage for a magical night. Though it was chilly for our January wedding, there were plenty of outdoor heaters (and we rented their fire pits, too) and all our guests were comfortable. Their packages were a good value, and they have a list of fantastic preferred vendors. The service from their caterers and bartenders was excellent, and everyone had a great time. Best of all, I loved that we had a built-in back-up plan in case of rain (though it stopped just in time— lucky us!) I definitely recommend Venue at the Grove for an unforgettable wedding and reception!

Bekah, Ben, and the rest of the team at Venue at the Grove were amazing! They were professional, efficient, and prepared every step of the way from the initial planning stages, to the tasting and tour, and on the actual wedding day. You can tell they love what they do and how important it is to them that you have the most perfect wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Every vendor they work with is also a 10/10!

Thank you so much for assisting us during our special wedding day! From the initial open house & venue tour to the personal consultations and food tastings, we felt included and really enjoyed the whole experience. We would say that the food tasting event was our favorite part outside of the wedding day itself! We had so many delicious foods to try and it was fun building our perfect wedding menu with drinks, appetizers, entrees and late-night snacks for our guests. The all-inclusive package we chose was wonderful and gave us access to so many great vendors working along the Venue that helped us create our dream wedding! They also did a fabulous job coordinating with other vendors to make sure we stayed within our timeline as the wedding day tends to move quickly! We worked with Bekah as our coordinator of the day, but also had great interactions with the rest of the team including the wedding coordinators and the catering staff as well. You all did a wonderful job of including us in the process and listening to our concerns and suggestions during the whole endeavor. We did not stress the day of the wedding, and everything turned out perfect! We appreciate all you did for us during the setup and teardown process as well with all the decor during the wedding day.   We speak very highly of your team and the Venue at the Grove property. Our guests truly enjoyed their day as well at the Grove. We would highly recommend them to any couple who is planning their big wedding day as this is the place to host it! Thank you again for making it a day to remember! 

I absolutely loved having our wedding at Venue at the Grove. All of the girls were so helpful and sweet throughout the entire process and they really make the process as easy as possible for you (even for someone with no event planning experience). I had a January wedding so it was pretty chilly but I wish there were more heaters. There was one per table and it was on one end of the table so the other end of the table was pretty cold so having one on each side would have been amazing but we made it work! Overall the experience was great and I would definitely recommend the venue to anyone considering :)

Aside from how GORGEOUS this venue is, all of the people I worked with were incredibly kind, quick to respond, and so accommodating! I live out of state, and they made it so easy to plan from afar. They really have it down, and just made my wedding day so special. Would get married here a million times over!

I got married on 12/30/22 at Venue at the Grove and because of weather, it was a very stressful day. This venue is fully outdoors, the only thing partially covered is the cocktail area. I was very specific about wanting an outdoor winter wedding because me and my husband have family from very cold climates (Alaska, Indiana, Missouri, New York). Rachel was my day of coordinator and she did an amazing job keeping me in the loop with the plan and doing what she could to accommodate all of my requests. The staff was very responsive, so respectful and truly so great that guests raved about them. My photographer... I mean he is the best. Tony George truly will be my forever recommended photographer. He knows how to focus on the bride and groom in all the craziness and keep a strong but fun and joyful timeline moving for the day! Britney, his second shooter was personable and kept telling me great stories that kept me calm during all the weather stress! The food was the BEST part of the entire night! Listen to Ensemble Catering when they give you recommendations. We just asked staff what they recommended, put that on our menu and guests LOVED the food!! Lastly, Ben!! He was I am guessing part of the Olaya Planning team. Me and my husband were talking about him days later. He was nice, attentive, funny, understanding, everything you want in a coordinator. As you can tell, I was on cloud nine the day of the wedding and with my venue choice. If you do choose Venue at the Grove, my ONLY suggestion is as the bride, do a quick 5 minute walk through of your venue. I had my mom do it but I was the one at every single appointment, talking with their team almost weekly. No one knew what I wanted except for me and I wish I was the one to do it because there were three small things I would have asked to be adjusted. Overall, I would book with Venue at the Grove 15 times over if I had to! Truly an amazing venue and an amazing team!

Venue at the Grove was a hidden gem in the Arizona desert. The grass, trees, brick and romantic lighting made me feel like I was at home back East. Several of our guests complimented the venue saying it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. The staff at Venue at the Grove was an absolute dream to work with. The staff was extremely organized, responsive, hospitable and the entire team knew all our details from beginning to end. Their all-inclusive package was an extremely great value with top notch vendors to help plan our special day. We attended several open houses to meet all the vendors and see how the venue was organized so we felt prepared. Throughout the night of our wedding, the team was always nearby to ask if my husband and I needed anything to eat, drink, or otherwise. Traditionally an anxious Annie, it was the most stress free night I could have ever imagined thanks to Venue at the Grove. We can't thank their team enough!

Our experience with Venue at the Grove was unforgettable. From the open house to the wedding day, the venue brought us so much happiness. The event planning team was super helpful along the way and very communicative. The venue is magical, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing the whole night. A special shoutout to Bekah for making our day flow so easily and special. We still get compliments from guests about how wonderful it went and we wouldn't have changed a thing!

From start to finish, Venue at the Grove made our wedding dreams come through. My husband and I were married on October 2022 and we were beyond happy with the services we received throughout our entire planning experience. Their all-inclusive wedding package made the wedding planning process so easy and stress free. The vendors that Venue at the Grove work with were were amazing - I am so thankful that they helped us find them! We worked closely with Maddy and Rachel. They prompt, knowledgeable and so kind and approachable. Rachel was our Day-Of Coordinator and she took care of everything we needed from getting our décor set up perfectly, to making sure our timeline of events was on track. The night was flawless thanks her! Beyond that, the Venue is absolutely stunning. The gorgeous pecan trees, sparkling lights, greenery and wooden accents was unforgettable for us and our guests! If we had to do it all again, we would choose Venue at the Grove!

We can't say enough great things about Venue at the Grove! Truly a hidden gem of a venue and my husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to get married there. First of all, the venue is gorgeous. We kept our decor minimal because it just didn't need it. Second, the team is amazing. Maddy, Bekah, and everyone we worked with was so kind, helpful, and on top of it. Bekah was our day of manager and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. No "Did the decor make it on x table?" "Is X starting on time?" because she was ON IT. Thirdly, if you're like me and want to have the freedom to make decisions without the fatigue that can happen when you plan a wedding, Venue at the Grove is a great option because it's partially inclusive. You get to pick specific vendors from their list of preferred vendors which is so nice. But if there are vendors you know you want to work with, they're flexible about it. Our big day was truly a dream thanks to the beauty, professionalism, and ease it was to work with Venue at the Grove. We'd choose them again in a heartbeat!

Venue at the Grove was an amazing venue. The team was a dream to work with. I highly recommend this venue and team for anyone who is looking for a venue outdoors.

If you are able to spend a little extra for all inclusive…DO IT HERE!! They offer a payment plan and that was a huge selling point. The venue and staff itself were amazing. They made sure my husband and I were taken care of throughout the whole process and during the wedding. The only reason I didn’t give five stars was because the florist they work with, WildChild Floral, was so difficult to get a hold of. She had said she would give me a vision board of the flowers she chose, and I never got one despite two reminders. I didn’t see my flowers until day of the wedding. They were pretty, but it wasn’t what I really had in mind. The next issue was the DJ, Chad with All American. I want to start off and say I LOVED working with him and he’s such a fun and cool guy, but there were issues with our grand entrance. It took quite a while to get the song started, and by the time my husband and I walked out, the music has ended. Our dining music was totally wrong to where we had to tell him to just go back and play the songs he played as guests were arriving. The theme was fantasy/medieval, and techno music was playing instead while we ate. It was a little strange and not the vibe lol and then he would randomly cut off songs right before the best part and go on to the next song. I definitely would still recommend him ashe did his damndest to make sure things went smoothly, but it was just a few things that stuck in my mind. Also, I had no idea all the cut slices of our cake would be tossed, so my husband never got to try all the flavors of our cake, so that was a little disappointing. I would keep that in mind to save some extra for yourselves. Overall, it was a great experience and they’re such a wonderful team! I wish I could plan an event there MONTHLY because of how much I loved it!

As soon as my fiance and I toured Venue at the Grove, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. We signed the contract a year and a half before our wedding date, and we had an INCREDIBLE experience working with the team throughout that time. The entire team was proactive and extremely communicative - special shout out to Bekah, who was our Day of Director and did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day!! There were no hiccups on the wedding day that I was aware of, although I learned later that our polaroid cameras that we used for the guest book ran out of batteries. We didn't bring any backup batteries, but Bekah and the team had some in the back that they offered to us so we could continue to use the cameras! We received SO many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was, and I can't have imagined getting married anywhere else. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!!!

Venue at the Grove/Olaya events took care of everything from start to finish, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. They were well organized, extremely responsive, and it felt like one big team when working with them. On the actual day of the event, everything went smoothly and they made sure to lean on my support system (aka MOH) for miscellaneous questions so that I could enjoy myself on the my big day. We were very happy with our experience!

We could not have imagined a better wedding venue experience! The team at Venue at the Grove are warm, welcoming, responsive, and truly made us feel like we were family. On our wedding day, they seemed just as excited to be there as we did, and the team onsite managed our event absolutely perfectly! They supported us every step of the way! Prior to the wedding, if we ever had questions, their response time was amazing, and they were always willing to help. The vendors that Venue at the Grove work with are also top-notch (shout out to the best photographer on the planet - Tony George!). We could not have hoped for a better wedding day, and it was all thanks to Venue at the Grove. And - did I mention how absolutely STUNNING the venue is?! You really feel like you are in a whole different place with the lush lawn, beautiful grove, and stunningly lit trees! It’s the perfect little slice of heaven only a short drive from downtown Phoenix. We would recommend Venue at the Grove to anyone and everyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Throughout our entire planning experience Bekah, and the rest of the staff at Venue at the Grove, were extremely responsive and helped guide us through the wedding planning process. It was seamless and made our planning feel more like a project than a stressful chore. They truly took the weight off of us and we knew we could enjoy our day stress free! They made the day of run so smoothly and we could not have asked for a better day!

Absolutely extraordinary. Not one complaint. The team knew exactly what they were doing. They were very warm and welcoming. Every single guest had nothing but nice things to say.

My wedding was on 11/3/2022 and it was such a beautiful experience all around. Everyone at Venue at the Grove was extremely easy to work with, and people are not kidding when they say your wedding day is absolutely stress-free with them! Our coordinator for the wedding day was Rachel, and she was great at keeping everything running flawlessly. Maddie was also there for part of the day, which I was very grateful for because she was someone that Sam and I wanted to work with since we first discovered the venue at our first open house visit. I also want to give a shout-out to Ben, the catering manager. He was so pleasant to be around, and there was just something about his presence that made me feel welcome and special. All of the staff in general were phenomenal at the wedding. From the moment we arrived at the venue, we felt like pure royalty. Just about everything we needed (and more) was taken care of before we even thought to ask. Also, I need to mention that our wedding day took place on a day where the weather drastically changed. It was roughly 80 degrees and sunny on all of the days leading up to 11/3, but then on our wedding day, a winter storm system had reached Phoenix and the temperature dropped to barely 60 degrees for a daytime high… with intermittent rain. I am so grateful that we were able to have the ceremony in the barn, and that the venue had a contingency plan in general. Of course we always imagined ourselves getting married in the grove, but the barn was still a beautiful location and it made the ceremony feel much more intimate. We had the dinner indoors because it was extra chilly outside by the time the sun went down, and while that also wasn’t something we thought would happen, it still turned out beautifully. Even though dinner took place indoors, they still had fire pits and plenty of heat lamps available on the patio outside, which ended up being perfect. Once we started dancing, it turned out that the indoor reception area was far too hot after all. I asked to see if we could move the music outside, and after a bit of initial hesitation, eventually they were able to make it happen. I think this was my favorite part of my whole experience: the level of adaptability that the coordinators/DJ had to be able to move things outside. I am eternally grateful for that accommodation, because being outside under the lights ultimately made the night unforgettable. Thank you so much to everyone at Olaya Events/Venue at the Grove for making the entire experience as easy and unforgettable as it was. I am so grateful to have worked with you!

The venue is stunning!! Everything ran absolutely flawlessly and always maintained really really good communication. Bekah and all the staff were the absolute sweetest!!! Bekah goes above and beyond with absolutely everything and has been with us through the entire process. 10/10!!! Food and everything is absolutely incredible and nothing beats this venue!

This venue has everything! They make the process so easy and enjoya
