Cassie and Danny Dennis at Silent Grove were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was always prompt, helpful and friendly, which made planning our wedding day a breeze. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - very spacious, warm and intimate. They went out of their way to ensure everything was neat and taken care of, even drying the benches outside when it rained that morning. They also offered assistance for my mother, who was in a wheelchair, to easily access the outdoor area.
