The Grove was a great choice considering I was an out of town bride. They handled everything for me. The ceremony and reception space were beautiful. The food was good and they were able to mix up my signature drink perfectly. The flowers were amazing. And Zina was great. There were a couple of hiccups though...
The Cake
I had asked for an art deco style peacock feather pattern on the cake (even sent a photo) and ended up getting one large slanted peacock feather on each layer rather than the pattern. This ended up making it so that the cake didn't coordinate with the other peacock feather items I had at the reception.
The Open Bar
We had the open bar option A and so I figured that if a guest ordered any of the items on the open bar's included list, that it would be included. I found out later that my guest were paying for drinks all night because if they ordered a shot (even if it was on the included list) it wasn't included! I was a bit embarrassed.
Wedding Coordination
I didn't realize that the wedding coordinator would not be there through the end of the reception (which I could have really used). Zina ended up leaving just after we were seated and she brought us our dinner. I really could have used someone to help me coordinate the rest of the evening.... especially the sparkler sendoff I had planned! (which, by the way I do not recommend lol).
Over all, I would use them again. It just would have been nice to know about these couple of things before hand.
