“We truly can’t say enough good things about this venue. From the food and service to the coordination and attention to detail, every aspect of our reception exceeded our expectations. We chose the Magnolia Package, and the food was absolutely incredible. We selected the duet entrée with the stuffed chicken breast and filet, served with gratin potatoes and asparagus, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. Wedding food doesn’t always have the best reputation, but this was genuinely one of the best meals we’ve had at a wedding. As someone with multiple serious food allergies, I was especially grateful for the care the team took to ensure I could eat safely on my wedding day. They took my allergies seriously from the very beginning, which allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the evening. Our coordinator, Tram-Anh, was exceptional. Her calm, organized presence throughout the planning process and on our wedding day helped us feel completely at ease. She was flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life rather than fitting us into a rigid package or timeline. We dropped off our decorations beforehand, and she thoughtfully set everything up exactly as we had envisioned, somehow making it even better than we imagined. The bartenders and service staff were equally fantastic. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes while making sure my husband and I always had what we needed. We were concerned about long bar lines, but adding the Veranda Cooler bar worked perfectly. I don’t think I saw a single guest waiting for a drink all night. If you’re considering The Courses at Forest Park, just book it. You won’t regret it.”

“Grbic Events was truly a dream come true. From our very first tour until the night of our wedding, Shayla and team went above and beyond to make sure we had the day of our dreams. The food is incredible, we have gotten so many compliments from our guests. The access to the decor closet is truly a game changer.
