| - I got married here in early September. Me and my now husband live in Seattle, he is from Phoenix so we decided to get married in his home town. I was destined to find a venue that had some components of the Northwest. I researched a few other places but it meant a lot of work like picking out individual vendors. For us that would have meant several trips to Phoenix and added stress. After some thought we decided that The Venue at The Grove was a good fit.
We booked an all inclusive package and I felt taken care of the moment that we signed our contract. Planning a wedding from out of town could have been really complicated but for us it wasn't.
First of all I think that over a year I must have exchanged nearly 150 emails with our wedding coordinator. She was patient, helpful and thoughtful. Second, The Grove is highly selective when it comes to the vendors that they coordinate with. The Grove made sure that the vendors contacted me versus having to track them down. This was priceless in my opinion, my fiance are busy and I didn't have much interest in planning a wedding. My cake was delicious and beautiful, we were hoping that it was going to be a bit larger but it's not that big of a deal. The flowers were stunning. Our photographer was Cheryl from La Bella Vita Photography, she was amazing. Cheryl has a calm confident energy and she knows what she is doing. The DJ, Tony from Infinity Entertainment was attentive, energetic and smooth, he even stuck around when it started to rain at the end.
The Grove staff is amazing, one of my favorite experiences was the tasting. We got to sit down with the owner Edward and also met the Chef. We went into our tasting with minimal expectations. My husband and I are big city food snobs, but we were impressed with the food! It was tasty and they take the time to make food from scratch which is something that we value.
The wedding day went off without a hitch, with the exception of a little rain. The ceremony was lovely and the reception was fun and entertaining.
I must say thank you to Taylor, she was our coordinator and she took very good care of us. She even went to grab my other pair of shoes out of the bridal suite after the ceremony.
I feel like our wedding planning experience was effortless on our part aside from making decisions like table cloth colors and sending invitations. Most of my friends and family stated that I didn't seem stressed or worried. I repeatedly said that our venue is taking care of everything so there isn't much for me to worry about.
Thanks guys!!!
- Gretchen and Ben
