My wedding was going according to the plan until the actual day. It took me almost a year to write…read morethis review, because it still breaks my heart to think about my wedding. We were provided 3 planners to help us with the coordination, but they did not do a good job. According to my family and guests, they didn't know where to put the gifts/envelopes during the reception. Also, when the guests left, some of them did not get their wedding favors, which was heartbreaking because I put a lot of thought into them. Overall, the guests were not coordinated properly, and were not directed clearly. There was a very unfortunate incident that happened: halfway through our reception, a power outage occurred. The venue had absolutely no back up for the power outage. With no electricity or AC, the wedding reception was ended earlier than anticipated time. The total reception was supposed to be 4 hours, but the power outage occurred 2 hours in. The venue made sure to point us to the contact, which stated that the venue was not responsible for a power outage. It is disappointing that they did not have any fan or any type of back up plan for a power outage. The wedding was in July and it was HOT. They ended up compensating about 10% of the total amount we paid (1 hour worth of event). Our guests were gracious enough to stay about an hour after the power outage occurred, but the venue counted that. This wasn't fair because one of the main reasons everyone stayed is that the venue led us to believe that the power might come back. It wasn't until we got confirmation from a police officer that the power was not coming back, that we seriously considered ending the event early. Aside from the compensation, I was disappointed and devastated in regards to the owners attitude and response to the incident. Yes, I got a small amount of money back, but I couldn't even utilize the photo booth, DJ, and music because of the loss of electricity. Thankfully, I hired the DJ to prepare a full backdrop of light, otherwise we would have sat in complete darkness. It was a good thing that I did not rely 100% on the wedding for lighting. I do want to say one good thing about Sara, my coordinator. I really appreciated Sara for all of her work. She was very flexible and tried to meet all of my needs. She was always available and remembered things that I needed and mentioned. If it wasn't for Sara, this venue would deserve 1 star. Due to Sara's hard work, I will give 2 stars. If it wasn't for incident and the venue's terrible service, this place would have been a decent place for a wedding.

The owner, Paula, was so kind and generous through the entire process. She was always easy to get in touch with and is genuinely a kind person who cared about our experience. We appreciated the value and simplicity of a venue with a package that had so much included in the price. Paula and her crew were "all hands on deck" before, during, and after our event and we didn't have to lift a finger. She made the venue beautiful for our event and put our minds at ease.

Thank you SO much Jennifer. This day, that means so much, wouldn't have been the same without you.

Little did I know when I got engaged in 2018, our wedding would not take place until summer of 2021. We have planned and planned this darn thing. After the first wave of cases, we made the difficult decision of postponing our special day. It was tough and terrifying, but we wanted to do what was best for our guests. Another facet of this terror was all the horror stories of brides past who had to forfeit their large deposits since venues would not transfer their date and money. Obviously, that is another soapbox I will not get on. SFG and Linda were godsends! They transferred my deposit to my new date with ease. We also changed our venue at this point and they adapted without missing a beat. Our original talks included inspiration pictures and colors I hoped to incorporate in our theme. I love white and modern vibes for the wedding ceremony. My flowers of choice were orchids, hydrangeas, and white roses. She sent me a spread sheet with the break down and prices. It all made my organization heart happy. Linda met with me during the venue walkthrough and helped with designing displays that would match the space. She and her team were prompt and came to break down at the time specified. Let's talk about the flowers for a second here. THEY ARE LITERALLY MASSIVE. Honest, it looked like we spent double our final price on flowers/decor. All the guests were absolutely floored. I am an orchid fanatic and I have never seen orchids so monstrous in size. They are all in similar stages of bloom and beyond healthy. My own dad thought it was fake and he even walked me down the aisle, in close proximity to my breathtaking (talk about Pinterest dreams are made here) white orchid bouquet. They exceeded my expectations and then some. So so impressed. I thought I would walk out the venue thinking PFTTT flowers. These arrangements were so beyond beautiful; everyone (including myself) took a handful home. I am literally preserving my bouquet because I just cannot let go of this awe and splendor. I would recommend them to all brides, of all aesthetics. Do it, you won't regret it.

It was definitely a provision and huge blessing to get to hire Jennifer as my planner. My (now) husband and I knew we wanted a short engagement and we ended up picking a date about 4 months after our engagement! So we planned on a ceremony and afternoon snack reception at the church we attend. We had about 160 people show up (including some little ones) and Jennifer did a FANTASTIC job. (1.) She kept us updated through email and texts and face to face meetings regularly (i.e. weekly to bi-weekly) about what was going on and what needed to be done by whom and when (2.) She started out by asking what our expectations were and what we envisioned / what was important to us. From there, she helped us figure out what we could do and what we could not do based off of our budget. At our first meeting, she had already researched a few places and florists based off of our budget! (3.) She took care of all of the details - the church we were married at required us to work with their wedding coordinator so I let Jennifer handle all the logistics of working with the church coordinator for our wedding. I didn't have to deal with refrigeration, working with the sound guy for the reception, etc etc (4.) She did a few extra things like have a beautiful basket ready for us for our wedding night. She made sure to not put anything that we wouldn't normally use (for example, my husband and I are not big wine drinkers). So it felt like a thoughtful gift/touch and not just something thrown together. (5.) She knew that my husband and I wanted to save as much as possible so she was on top of doing research regarding things like cutlery to buy (and where), using Instacart to deliver for free, etc. (6.) She was incredibly detailed when it came to what needed to be done and when. For example, for the grand exit, she was detailed enough to know to place certain people where for pictures and who should hold what (also for pictures). (7.) During the Rehearsal Dinner and Ceremony and Reception she was always busy taking care of everything (i.e. the food was replenished, drinks were refilled, etc) so that way things went off without a hitch and unnoticed (8.) She created a Kids Corner for the reception! It was such a wonderful idea and one of my friends who has two little ones (the oldest in elementary school) said that she had such a hard time pulling her youngest girl away from the Kids Corner! I didn't even think about anything like this and thought it was such a genius idea. :) (9.) Overall, given how busy I am and how much I dislike planning, I felt incredibly NOT stressed having Jennifer as my planner. I basically just did whatever she asked us to do (and it pretty much was just having to make decisions ) and didn't even worry throughout the whole planning process. The ONLY time I worried was when I thought my dress wasn't going to make it on time but that was through a completely different vendor - Jennifer was amazing though and offered to help should I have needed it (i.e. by finding a wrap to go over the back up dress, etc). Thankfully, there was no need for that! For any bride to be's out there who are looking for a planner who they can trust and who takes her job incredibly seriously and REALLY knows the details, I highly, highly, highly recommend Jennifer. She did such a fantastic job! She has been doing this for 10 years and it really shows. :)

Everyone should leave their wedding day feeling like it was the best day ever, and unfortunately that was not my experience. My experience was filled with unfulfilled promises. We told them photography and videography were some of the most important things to us. We were told we would get all of the pictures, video footage from the whole day, and a montage video. We received the pictures and video footage but no montage. When I reached out to complain, they only cut the whole day footage into three minutes and it was nothing like the video we were told we would get. We were told we would get pictures back in 30 days and it took 60. When we did get our pictures back, we had flash drives mailed to us and one of the flash drives was broken to where half of our pictures had gray boxes over it. We also had disappointments in catering. We requested water and pink lemonade which was on our contract, and we only received water and tea. I don't drink tea and we went with no alcohol, so I was really disappointed. We also requested extra fajita meat and no chicken wings and shrimp, but the wings and shrimp were both still served. The DJ also messaged me two days before the wedding that the watergrove said they were not paying him for the whole day like they had told me. I had to reach out to the watergrove and beg for the DJ to be paid for the whole day like I was told. I almost didn't have a DJ for my ceremony, and I am so thankful he reached out to me so I could sort it out. Other disappointments in the wedding included that I had to ask for the table cloths to be ironed (they looked like they had been crumbled in a box for months), the ice machine was broken, they did not put our party favors into bins like they said they would, many guests glasses were taken aware before speeches, we were given no plates for cake cutting (which we paid the $100 fee for and it took a long time for it to be served), it took longer to flip the ceremony space than promised, I had to request for the Photo Booth to be redone, I paid for the day of coordinator and she was gone part of the day and I was left with someone I had never met, and we were told there would be a coffee bar at night and there was not. I emailed The WaterGrove event venue on February 24th, and they offered a discount the next time I book with them. They also said the photographer could redo our wedding video at another location or time, but in our opinion that just wouldn't be special anymore. Please do not use them for your event.

As I didn't help plan the event, I don't know what all the venue did vs the family planning the event, but everything was executed without a hitch and was quite nice. The interior of the venue is very posh - tile/marble work, fresh paint on the walls, well maintained grounds, etc, so a great backdrop to host any type of large event.
