They have a full kitchen and a table for gifts and cards and another one for desserts and they even have an outside patio area. They also have a groomsmen room where you can put your stuff in and change, etc... They have three very clean bathrooms as well.

I grew up in High Point and didn't even know this place existed. Centennial Station is located…read moredowntown, just around the corner from Showplace. It used to be an old freight train depot in the early 1900s, but was later converted into a dinner theater and now, it's a special events center. Very old and rustic looking, a lot of the original wooden flooring and structure still remain in place today. I visited on Friday night for a wedding rehearsal dinner afterparty. The inside was nicely decorated for the holidays with Christmas trees, beautiful lights, and colorful ornaments. The main hall has a stage, dance floor, plenty of table seating, and a small open bar in the back. Cool space and perfect for the event. There was a projected slide show on stage of the married couple to be and also a little dancing. The sound system could have been better, but it wasn't a big deal. Bartenders did a good job. Ample parking outside.

Disappointing! One star may be too gracious. My daughter was married here 11/08/2025. I wish I…read morecould say good things however I can't let this happen to someone else. Danielle, the on site wedding planner that works for Gray Gables, did not show up at 10:30 am and when my daughter contacted the owner after no one answered at the venue, we were told she wasn't there.I went to find this woman in the main house. She was hanging out there. The schedule that Danielle and my daughter agreed upon was not executed at all and when I questioned her - she blamed it on the contracted photographer who works for us NOT Gray Gables. First look photos were to be at 1:15 yet Danielle was no where to be found delaying photos almost an hour! The photographer that works for us - not the venue- went to find her and ended up having to take the groomsmen photos because Danielle did not even try to locate the dads for first look. I had to seek out Danielle and then inform her of her duties to which she replied it's the photographers job. No ma'am, it's not. I literally said to her I need you to take charge so we aren't roaming your property blindly and if you aren't going to help as stated in the contract then tell me and we will do it all. She claimed she was busy setting up all morning however at 12:30 when the florist arrived there were no tables set for flowers to be placed in the hall or on the patio for the cocktail hour. So my florist facilitated that too-I honestly don't know what she was busy with from 8 am to 1:30. She should have been available. Danielle finally went to my daughter 40 minutes later who was waiting patiently in the trees for first looks on RED mulch that was freshly put out the day before. That's important because it rained the night before and my daughter could not move without assistance if she wanted to keep her dress from being stained. Danielle apologized to my daughter; however, my daughter had to pull up the contract to read it to her to prove her duties. The photo schedule was significantly behind at this point so we didn't get bride and mom or bride and bridesmaids shots. The bridal attendee we hired from the venue did not show until 2:30 (although I must say Melissa helped get us through photos). No one greeted guests or helped with parking so they almost ran into my daughter as she was finishing pictures. It was so much confusion. When a car alarm went off as the wedding party was lining up - Danielle refused to go see which car since as she told me she wouldn't know who it belonged to. When we entered the reception hall, the donut cake had already been eaten from so my daughter did not have a groom and bride moment. The wedding planner, Daniele, that we hired from the venue then approached me about 8:30 pm to have me not only clear out the bridal suite, but also orchestrate decorating the car so I missed the fun games with my daughter and her new hubby. I should have declined but I was already used to running around all day doing their job- I wanted to make sure things went well fo my daughter. I also missed the dad and daughter dance - Melissa eventually came and got me so I could see the steps dad and daughter dance thankfully but as you can imagine I spent the night doing wedding planner duties.  I sprinted from the bridal suite to the reception hall in my heels and fancy dress sweating to catch the last 30 secs of the groom and his mom dancing. The entire staff is simply not helpful. They will not speak to you or your guests.They will not assist at all. WHO puts the mother of the bride to work during the reception! Finally a few quality/safety notes. The outside light for the bridal cottage is out. The small area in front of the door to the cottage that joins to the deck is about to fall through. Don't step there. The bridal cottage also had a recent leak evidently and the interior ceiling is stained. I want it to be great but it's run down and the staff can not pull off what they promise. The shuttle is limited to 11 people and runs one time, not multiple times as promised. On top of that guests were allowed to occupy the bridal suite all night so lock your stuff up before the wedding begins.

After researching where to have a Valentines dinner I stumbled across this wonderful discovery. It checked all the boxes, romantic, intimate, decor, reasonably priced dinner with helpful and friendly staff. There are many converted dining areas among the rooms of the house. We were in the parlor I think overlooking the back yard just beyond the glass french doors where our table was positioned. Very pleasant. We enjoyed our dinner although the food was not the star experience I hoped for but nevertheless enjoyable from the limited choices. There were no menus. Waitress provided the details and it included the beverages. After dinner we were invited to walk through the various rooms of the house which were lovely. The entire downstairs were dining areas. The one that caught my eye was the library. It had a fireplace which added a warm feeling to the dimly lit room. There was also a separate dining area by the front of the house sporting more antique furniture and a fireplace. As we toured the house we went upstairs where all the bedrooms were. Each had their own charm. I expect those rooms were for changing areas for wedding parties. The mansion is mostly used for wedding events. It is a unique and lovely place in Thomasville to visit and I would highly recommend it for an event.

LONG overdue review on the Villa, but hopefully well worth it. I met the owner of the Villa,…read moreBillie, at a wedding show. Immediately, my now husband and I were impressed. They were new venue vendors and eager to work with us despite our UNIQUE wedding (midnight wedding on July 4). Billie and I met at the Villa and it was love at first sight. Such a beautiful building. At the time, the outdoor grounds were unimpressive due to the season and the fact they had literally just opened. Also, the outdoor terrace had these HUGE/MASSIVE umbrella stands. I affectionately called them transformers. They were hideous and oddly, different colors for the awning. We discussed remove prior to the wedding and Billie said that would happen. But once inside...SOLD! There is so much space inside of the Villa. I was actually overwhelmed with the space options because the more space equates to more decorating ($$$). Lol! But, that was one of the main reasons to book...so many options. Throughout the planning process, Billie would allow me to come with my decorator and bridesmaids whenever I needed too (and never rushed us). I was thrilled to be her first contract. That process was very efficient too. I was nervous since we were both 'green', but the contract signing and review was absolutely professionally done. Billie was always very complimentary of my wedding ideas and became a social media fan (thank you Billie for the shout out on your social media when I appeared on Say Yes to the Dress). Now, do you remember those 'Transformers'?. It was getting closer to the wedding and they were still there. We had placed in the contract they would be removed. I spoke to Billie and she reassured me they would be removed and they eventually were. They were so MASSIVE she had to hire a certain piece of equipment to remove those umbrellas. Thank God she did. Rehearsal was an hour (we did go over...I think this is the one time Billie was a little agitated with timing ... shoot, I was too because I really like to respect rules and other people's time.) I would suggest Brides take advantage of purchasing extra time for this. An hour just isn't long enough...not even for the most prepared and I PROMISE you, I was very prepared. It was the wedding party who wasn't. Oh, I did have one minor issue, but it was also resolved. Billie had enhance the place a little (which I knew she was since the venue was new), but unfortunately the new additions did not meet my decor expectations. Billie had a few HUGE planters placed outside under the area that was to be my 'arch'. I am not a greenery person, so I was thankful when Billie agreed to use a hand truck and have them hidden from sight on the day of the wedding. I think each planter was well over 100 pounds. They were moved to the 'side'...but they still were visible in my pictures, however. No biggie though. Also, on the inside, I had paid for our initials to be uplighted on the wall in the reception area. Unfortunately, Billie had just added a new chalkboard wall in the room. Oddly, the chalkboard wall is not centered (for good reason) along the wall. Looks beautiful but again, it did not go with my year long plans of Urban Chic which included my already paid for monogram uplighting. There is a GOD however, because there was nothing I could do about the removal of this chalkboard wall as it was now a permanent fixture. My decorator and I decided to hang white, sheet curtains in front of it so my monogram uplighting could still be centered alongside the wall and not look weird adjacent to am empty chalkboard wall. Fast forward to the day of...my uplighting guy breaks my monogram uplighting. Sigh! So, that chalkboard wall that I hated became my blessing. Billie's Mother was on-hand helping out and hears about my broken uplight. She takes immediate action and replicated my monogram design on that chalkboard wall. When I tell you I was SURPRISED and full of joy at this beautiful and QUICK gesture by her Mom. I tell everyone to this day that this is EXACTLY what customer service should look and feel like. She did an AMAZING job! Pics to come! Day of the wedding was absolutely phenomenal. Billie let us in hours in advance and my decorator was there since morning setting up. Other vendors (cake, lighting, dj, photogs, etc.) described coming to set up easy as pie, as well. The bridal suite now had the CUTEST flower wall which makes for the BEST photo backdrop ever. Billie was around the entire time. She just made my day (should I say night) go so smoothly. She gave us ample time to clean up afterwards and even pitched in a little. Billie is amazeballs. She is such a sweet soul; easy to work with; and professional. I pray that her business is growing and from the looks of her social media; business is REALLY good. To anyone looking for a beautiful venue...the 'House of Love' will surely meet every expectation.

My husband and I chose this venue because we loved the property and our experience during the tour…read moreand booking process was very positive. Mary was friendly, accommodating, and made us feel confident in our decision to book with her. Unfortunately, our wedding day experience ended up being very different. One of the biggest frustrations was the morning rehearsal. We were given the impression that it would be relatively quick, but it ended up lasting well over an hour and a half, which put us significantly behind schedule while our hair and makeup vendors were waiting on us to get back. On a day where timing matters so much, it added a lot of unnecessary stress right from the start. What was most disappointing, though, was the attitude we experienced throughout the day. The first interaction of the morning between Mary, my husband, and my mother came off as negative and honestly set the tone for everything that followed. As the day went on, multiple people around me also commented on her attitude at different points. I understand that weather can create challenges and force last minute decisions. But I do feel like a lot of the tension that day came from the uncertainty of the forecast. While I understand that's part of running a venue, it doesn't excuse how those situations were handled. We were repeatedly told that weather related decisions were ultimately ours, but when we actually made those decisions, there was still pushback. The rain plan in particular was really disappointing. The setup would have placed our ceremony in a small interior room with the DJ and catering setup, which completely changed the look and feel of the wedding we had spent months planning and paying for. It didn't match the vision that was presented when we booked, and it honestly didn't feel appropriate for a wedding of our size that we were promised could be accommodated. Instead of feeling like our preferences were being respected, it felt more like the priority was doing things the easiest way for the venue, including rearranging everything, even the bar setup. What stands out most is that these concerns weren't just mine in the moment. My husband, my mother, a bridesmaid, our officiant, and multiple guests all commented on the attitude and interactions they noticed throughout the day at different times. The venue itself is beautiful, which is why this review isn't lower. But I left feeling like there was a lot less flexibility and personalization than we were led to believe. And lastly, since our wedding, we haven't received a congratulations or any kind of follow up asking how everything went, which was disappointing considering the money we invested in this venue. At the end of the day, my husband and I are married, which was the goal, but we were really let down by the experience on our wedding day.

I played in a golf tournament, attended a dinner reception, got drinks at the bar, and stayed at…read morethe Grandover Resort & Spa earlier this week. I enjoyed my time here and, in general, I think this is a great resort for the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point). I was born and raised in High Point and remember when Grandover opened in 1999. After 27 years, I finally got to visit. From the golf course to the hotel, I could tell the property has seen better days (e.g., details in course conditioning and building maintenance). As I wrote in my review for the golf course separately, this is not uncommon for golf facilities that were built during the last golf course boom in the 80s and 90s. The hotel is still quite nice, though, and is on the higher, more luxurious end. I checked the 2026 listing of AAA Four Diamond hotels and Grandover is still on the list, along with the O.Henry Hotel, Proximity Hotel, and Kimpton Cardinal Hotel as the only four hotels in the Triad with that status. Cocktail hour and dinner took place in the Grandville Ballroom. I guesstimate there were about 150-175 attendees. The ballroom worked well for this event, including all A/V aspects. The buffet-style dinner was delicious; in particular, the short rib and cobbler. The bartenders at the hotel bar, 1808 Bar (named after the year the city of Greensboro was founded), were initially overwhelmed with the post-dinner rush. The bar appeared to be decently stocked and my drink, the Hugo Spritz (St-Germain, champagne, club soda) was refreshing. 1808 Bar is located right in front of the hotel restaurant, Finial. I stayed in Room 421, on the fourth floor, with a view of the fountains, parking lot, and a stretch of I-85 which I have driven on countless times over the years. I really liked my room. It was luxe and spacious. Consistent with resorts in this tier, some of the finer features included robes (no logo, though), a nice mini bar, personalized TV guest screen, and rain shower head. The bed was super comfy. The cost for one night was $249. After sales tax (6.75%) and occupancy tax (6%), the total was $280.75. The room charge was "resort fee exempt," so it was discounted from a normal stay since I stayed with a group. Service was professional and speedy. The bellhops were particularly welcoming, friendly, and eager to serve. The art gallery and golf mural rotunda are neat. My only criticism is that after golf, everyone tried to shower at the same time, which meant no hot water for many. I waited a long time for my shower water to heat up. However, the next morning when I took another shower, the water heated up in a normal amount of time. For my thoughts on the golf experience, see my separate review on the Grandover Golf Course page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/grandover-golf-course-greensboro?hrid=rIV1jrVihP1CpEgsowQVSg Trivia: For decades, Grandover Resort was the site of the Atlantic Coast Conference's annual football and basketball media days. The office park by the East Course's 15th green and 16th tee was also home to the ACC headquarters from 1996 to 2023. In 2021, when my alma mater Georgia Tech won the ACC men's basketball tournament, the team watched Selection Sunday outside at one of Grandover's outdoor spaces.
