Service and all staff were amazing and very sweet! This is a great place for an evening treat, studying, coffee/drink date, and more. I learned that they do seasonal cooking classes that range from $50 to $80 a person and include king cake making, Irish bread and scones classes, Italian 3 course meals, and more! I tried the confetti cookie and ores cheese cake brownie as well. Both were 10/10. Wonderful experience all and all!

We had a wedding there 11/1/25. We started planning it about a year before. Our first impression…read moreof the location was spectacular. We met with the owner (Shelly). She was super nice. We hit it off immediately. We booked our event the same day we toured the venue. Along the way we did several taste testings of the various menu packages. I honestly can say the food was spectacular. We had an absolute blast. Our guest raved about the whole experience. My thanks go out to the entire Forest Grove Plantation.

Beautiful event venue. So spacious. Beautifully decorated…read more We held my Granny's repast here & there couldn't have been a more perfect place for this to occur. The staff members were professional, helpful & kind in all our dealing. The options were all mine, decorate up or leave as it. Either way the space is so elegant; the options are limitless. You can decorate yourself or have the staff to decorate for you, for an additional fee. We had the food prepared by the on-site catering company used by the facility. This removed all the guess work & allowed us to plan for our upcoming event. And the food was delicious & well worth the price. Ample off street parking was available for guests & security was there to ensure no vehicle break-ins occurred. Considering the event I had here & my frame of mind at the time, The Dream Event Center staff & facility was JUST WHAT I NEEDED. They took the sting out of the largest par of the planning process. I recommend this facility for all your party, repast, wedding, receptions etc needs. Bar none, this is the best place for your event.

Way before I was engaged, I saw this place on Facebook. I knew right then it would be where my…read morefuture wedding would be. I fell in love with the pictures. When I did get engaged I contacted them and met with Niki to see the place in person. It was so beautiful. We decided to have the ceremony in my church and just the reception there. I was worried about having to decorate because I don't do well with that. Have no fear. Aimee is amazing and so talented. She is the owner of the place. Bring your Pinterest pictures and your colors. She comes up with the decorating schemes and it looks so amazing. She has so much energy and is so pleasant to work with. She meets with you about two weeks before the wedding to go over everything. We actually had to move our date three times because of covid, and she worked so well with us! When you walk in, there is a big room with beautiful chandelier, tables set up, a fireplace with cake table, and all the little touches to make the room elegant. There are other rooms to mingle in. There is also a gorgeous courtyard. She had my bridal portrait and guest book set up by the door. I had treat bags for favors and she set them up so nice! We used her DJ and people have a great time on the dance floor. When it was time to eat, she had a little cabin in the back set up for us to have a private dinner alone for awhile. Even the drinks were set up so pretty. You don't have to worry about anything with them. I knew I was going to love it, but it honestly was better than I could have imagined. Even though our wedding was cut down to a small group because of covid, the disappointment wasn't there because we still had such a beautiful reception! They also do parties and showers and other events. I would recommend this place to everyone!

My daughter got married here and I must say, the venue is beautiful beyond belief. If that is what…read moreyou are looking for, then this may be the place for you. However, if you are looking for somewhere that the owner and staff are exceptional, especially since you are paying thousands of dollars for the experience, this may not be the place for you. If you don't tolerate rudeness, disorganization and the owner not showing up for your meeting, you probably want to spend your money elsewhere.

We rented this venue for my daughters wedding for today. The venue is an awesome two-story…read moreplantation style home which also has a pond (with ducks, as well) and an area under the large oak trees. The reason I only gave it 2 stars was because of the owners of the place. They had run-ins with several of our guests, mostly about parking. AND WE DID NOT EVEN HAVE ALCOHOL at the reception. Anyway, if you can overlook their rude, crude and socially unacceptable attitudes, you have a great place for a wedding. Found out after getting home and looking at posted pics, that THEIR photographer and videographer photo-bombed a lot of pics. Didn't like that either. The following Tuesday we find out that NUMEROUS handicapped elderly people were told they could not park by the venue to let them out, that they had to walk a LONG way up the driveway. Pretty sad.

Lauren made it so easy for me as the mother of the groom. All I did was supply a seating chart and some pictures. The floral arrangements that she did where so nice that the brides' sister (a florist,) asked who the florist was. Her color was blue and the white roses and hydrangea were what was used in the wedding also. It was just perfect. I have two more sons to go and, if it works out, that's where their rehearsal dinner will be also.
