We LOVED Founders Grove!!
Founders Grove was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was incredibly helpful, prompt, and attentive. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was picture-perfect, helping us with all the details of the setup and decor. The historic farmhouse, loft, and dressing room spaces provided such a warm, cozy, and relaxed atmosphere - exactly the vibe we were going for. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and made for the most beautiful backdrop for our photos. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. Founders Grove truly exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a rustic, charming wedding venue.

Founder's Grove is absolutely breathtaking! The property feels like a hidden oasis, offering a serene and picturesque setting that makes any celebration feel like a dream. Surrounded by lush greenery, the venue’s natural beauty was perfectly complemented by the stunning floral arrangements and elegant décor. Every detail added to the enchanting atmosphere—from the cascading flowers that framed the ceremony space to the beautifully adorned reception area that felt both romantic and timeless. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is both idyllic and unforgettable, I highly recommend Founder's Grove. It’s truly a magical place that creates the most beautiful and memorable celebrations!
