The Grove Event & Wedding Venue

The Grove in Alvinston is exactly what its name promises: a wedding held beneath wide, romantic open sky in a black walnut grove. The family-run venue is completely outdoors, giving couples a natural setting designed around ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions rather than placing nature outside the elegant ballroom windows.

The property can accommodate up to 250 guests and offers several wedding packages, from ceremony-and-cocktail-hour celebrations to reception-only events and full ceremony-and-reception experiences. An on-site coordinator supports the day, while couples bring in the vendors who will make the celebration their own.

There is something almost fairy-tale about gathering beneath towering mature trees to say the words that matter most. The grove supplies shade, texture and a sense that the ceremony is hidden inside its own little world.

Then the celebration grows around it. Tables, music and laughter fill a place that usually belongs to birds, leaves and quiet countryside, and for one day the trees seem to hold the whole wedding together.
