Venue At The Grove

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!

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.

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!

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!
