The Grove Las Vegas Wedding: Prices, Spaces, and Timing

I’m McKenzie, a Las Vegas wedding photographer, and I have photographed weddings at The Grove. The Grove is an all inclusive outdoor garden wedding venue at 8080 Al Carrison Street in the northwest valley, about 21 miles and roughly 30 minutes of driving from the middle of the Strip. All inclusive means you pay one package price and most of the wedding comes with it. That price covers your ceremony spot, an officiant, a coordinator, dinner, the bar, a DJ, your cake, and the tables and chairs. Nevada sales tax and gratuity are already included in the number they quote you, and the venue says there are no hidden fees on top of it. The property holds up to 200 guests, and it has a smaller space set up for weddings of around 50.

As of August 28, 2026, the venue publishes its own prices, and its full ceremony and reception packages run from $3,700 to $17,500. The thing that changes that price the most is the day of the week you get married. The same room with the same menu costs about 70 percent more on a Saturday than it does Monday through Thursday.

The Grove’s ceremony sites and reception rooms

You are choosing two things here, a ceremony spot and a reception room, and every package pairs one of each. These are the five bookable spaces.

Space	Type	Indoor or outdoor	Guests it holds	How long you get it
The Gazebo	Ceremony site	Outdoor	Not published	30 minutes
The Almond Orchard	Ceremony site	Outdoor	Not published	30 minutes
The Arbor by the Water	Ceremony site	Outdoor	Not published	30 minutes
Grand Garden Room	Reception room	The venue does not label it. I have photographed a reception inside it	Up to 200	3 or 4 hours, depending on the package
Garden Terrace Room	Reception room	The venue does not say. Described as outdoor by Zola	Marketed for 50, 60 maximum	3 to 5 hours, depending on the package

Total site capacity is 200 guests. Every package includes 30 minutes at one ceremony site, and you pick which one.

There is one thing in that table I could not answer for you, and it is the Garden Terrace Room. The Grove never says on its own site whether that room is indoors, outdoors, or covered. Zola’s listing describes it as an outdoor space with a pergola and string lights, and the one reception I have photographed at The Grove was in the indoor hall, so my own work does not settle it either. If that room is open air, then a 50 guest wedding at The Grove is outdoors from start to finish, ceremony and reception both. Las Vegas gets real thunderstorms in July and August, so ask the venue what that room is before you sign.

If The Grove is on a shortlist with a couple of other places, I have written up Green Valley Ranch and the Four Seasons the same way, so you can put the numbers side by side.

What is The Grove actually like?

It is a garden, and it is bigger than the photos on the website make it look. Here is what I saw at the weddings I photographed there.

The main ceremony ground is a stand of mature leafy trees planted in a grid on the lawn, each one ringed with its own bed of mulch. A straight paver aisle runs down the middle to a rustic four post wooden arbor with flowers on the corner. Lace fabric is tented between the trunks overhead, string lights are wound up the trees, and guests sit in white folding chairs set out on the grass, with clipped boxwood hedges and pansy beds along the edges. Those chairs are on lawn, not pavement, so warn anyone planning to wear heels that they will sink in.

There is a second, smaller setup on the property. It is a wooden arbor on brick paving, with low boxwood hedges on either side and leafy trees overhead. At the wedding I photographed there, tall patio heaters were standing around the edges of the seating. That is worth knowing if you are looking at a winter date, though The Grove does not publish anything about heaters, so ask whether they come with your package or cost extra.

The rest of the grounds is the part I did not expect. There is a pond with a wooden footbridge across it and tall date palms on both sides, boulders down at the water’s edge, brick paths lined with more palms and clipped hedges, and a big open lawn. All of that is inside the venue, so I walked my couples out for portraits and had them back with their guests without anybody getting in a car.

The building is tan stucco with dark wood beams and string lights along a covered walkway. Inside, the reception hall has cream walls, dark ceiling beams, support columns, and a white tile floor with a darker dance floor in the middle of it. There are Chiavari chairs and a twinkle light curtain along one wall, and at the reception I photographed there they had colored uplighting around the room and a disco ball hanging over the dance floor.

What does a wedding at The Grove cost?

Two things decide what you pay at The Grove. The first is which of the two reception rooms your guest count puts you in. The second is which day of the week you pick. In the Garden Terrace, the smaller room, packages run from $3,700 to $6,800. In the Grand Garden Room, the larger one, they run from $6,000 to $17,500.

If you want a Saturday, there are two numbers to know. For 60 guests or fewer, The Grove lists GR Elite as the package required on weekends, and that one is $6,800. For a larger wedding in the Grand Garden Room, Saturday is $16,500. The three packages whose names start with GR all use the Garden Terrace Room.

Every package is built the same way. There is a base price that covers a set number of guests, and then a per person rate for everyone over that number. Two of the packages price the ceremony separately from the reception, and both of those drop the ceremony fee if you marry Sunday through Thursday.

Here is what the day of the week difference looks like inside one package. The Grand Garden Sunset package is the same room, the same four hour reception and the same menu whenever you book it, and it costs $16,500 on a Saturday, $12,600 on a Friday or Sunday, and $9,750 Monday through Thursday. Saturday does cover more people, 100 guests instead of 75, and those 25 extra guests would cost you $2,750 at the weekday Menu A rate, or $3,000 if you take both menus. Even once you have paid for them, moving that wedding from a Saturday to a Tuesday saves you $4,000 on Menu A and $3,950 on both menus, for the same wedding in the same room.

The Garden Terrace packages go further and limit which days you can book at all. The GR Buffet package is sold Monday through Thursday, and the venue opens it up to Friday through Sunday only if your wedding is inside 90 days. Outdoor Chapel Package B is Monday through Thursday only.

The Grove’s wedding packages compared

You probably only need two or three rows of this table. Your guest count picks your room. Sixty guests or fewer puts you in the Garden Terrace, which is the top four rows, and more than 60 puts you in the Grand Garden Room, which is the bottom four. Your day of the week then rules out most of the rows that are left.

Package	Reception room	Days it is available	Base price	Guests in the base	Each guest above that
GR Brunch Buffet	Garden Terrace	Daytime, brunch service. The venue publishes no day of the week restriction. Ceremony fee waived Sunday through Thursday	$3,700 plus a $300 ceremony fee	50	$60, to a 60 guest maximum
GR Buffet, also sold as Outdoor Chapel Package A	Garden Terrace	Monday through Thursday. GR Buffet only: also Friday through Sunday if you book within 90 days	$5,175	50	$100, to a 60 guest maximum
Outdoor Chapel Package B	Garden Terrace	Monday through Thursday	$5,800	50	$100, to a 60 guest maximum
GR Elite	Garden Terrace	Any day, and it is the package required on weekends and specialty dates	$6,800	60, including the two of you	$100, to a 60 guest maximum
Grand Garden Brunch	Grand Garden	Any day, daytime only. Ceremony fee waived Sunday through Thursday	$6,000 plus a $500 ceremony fee	65	$80, to a 100 guest maximum
Grand Garden Sunset, Monday through Thursday	Grand Garden	Monday through Thursday	$9,750 with Menu A, $10,550 with Menus A and B	75	$110 with Menu A, $120 with Menus A and B
Grand Garden Sunset, Friday or Sunday	Grand Garden	Friday or Sunday	$12,600 with Menu A, $13,300 with Menus A and B	75	$110 with Menu A, $120 with Menus A and B
Grand Garden Sunset, Saturday	Grand Garden	Saturday	$16,500 with Menu A, $17,500 with Menus A and B	100	$125 with Menu A, $135 with Menus A and B

The Outdoor Chapel page advertises a $300 discount if you book within 90 days or pay in full.

What a real total looks like

Base prices and per person rates are hard to picture, so here are two totals worked all the way out from the venue’s own figures.

Say you want a Saturday in the Grand Garden Room with 120 guests. Grand Garden Sunset is $16,500 with Menu A and covers the first 100 people. The other 20 cost $125 each on a Saturday, which adds $2,500, so your total is $19,000. Take both menus and the base is $17,500 with the extra guests at $135 each, which puts you at $20,200. Either way, tax and gratuity are already in it.

Now say you want a Tuesday brunch wedding in the Garden Terrace with 50 guests. GR Brunch Buffet is $3,700, and the $300 ceremony fee is waived Sunday through Thursday, so your total is $3,700.

One small detail changes that math. The Grove says the 60 guests on GR Elite includes the two of you. The GR Buffet page says the same, and the brunch, sunset and chapel pages do not say either way, so count yourselves in your own list, and ask the venue to confirm when you get your quote.

Deposits are due when you book. Grand Garden Sunset takes $2,500, Grand Garden Brunch takes $1,500, and the Garden Terrace and chapel packages take $1,000. The venue states those deposits are non refundable and non transferable, so that is the money you lose if your plans change. The Grove does not publish whether that deposit comes off your package total or sits on top of it, so ask.

I collected every figure above from The Grove’s package pages on August 28, 2026. Venue pricing changes, so confirm your own numbers when you tour.

Why the directory listings show much lower prices

Wedding directories carry starting prices for The Grove that no longer match the venue’s own pages. Here Comes The Guide lists packages from $3,400 and Eventective lists $1,000 to $6,600 for 50 guests, while The Grove’s least expensive full package is $3,700 and its Saturday package in the big room is $16,500. Those listings have not kept up with the venue’s own pages, so build your budget from the package pages.

What the all inclusive package includes

Every Grove package covers the ceremony, the reception, the food, the bar, and the people who run the day. Specifically:

• 30 minutes at one of the three ceremony sites
• A ceremony coordinator and an officiant
• Bridal suite access before the ceremony: 90 minutes on Grand Garden Sunset, 60 on Grand Garden Brunch, 30 on GR Elite
• A 30 minute rehearsal, on the Grand Garden Sunset package only
• Your reception in the Grand Garden or the Garden Terrace, for the hours your package names
• Catering cooked on site, buffet or plated, with two entrees plus sides, salad and rolls
• A bar and a champagne toast
• A DJ and emcee, ceremony music, and a dance floor
• A custom wedding cake
• Linens, napkins, a standard centerpiece, Chiavari chairs, and full service staff
• Nevada sales tax and gratuity

Which bar you get depends on your package. Grand Garden Sunset, Grand Garden Brunch, GR Elite and Outdoor Chapel Package B come with an open bar. GR Buffet and Outdoor Chapel Package A come with beer, wine and soda, and the full open bar is a $125 upgrade. GR Brunch Buffet comes with a soda bar, mimosas and a champagne toast rather than a full bar, so you add one if you want beer, wine or spirits. Beer, wine and soda is $6 a person, and the upgraded open bar is $10 a person.

Photography is not on that list. Neither is video, personal flowers like your bouquet and the boutonnieres, hair and makeup, upgraded lighting, or a photo booth. The Grove sells lighting packages and photo booths on their own pages, and photography appears nowhere in the inclusions the venue publishes for its packages, so those are all things you buy on your own.

How do you choose between The Grove’s three ceremony sites?

The Grove has three ceremony locations, the Gazebo, the Almond Orchard, and the Arbor by the Water. All three are outdoors, your package includes 30 minutes at one of them, and you choose which one when you book. The Outdoor Chapel packages use those same three sites, and there is no chapel building on the property. The venue’s own chapel page describes an outdoor ceremony among mature almond trees and an aisle you walk up into the gazebo.

I photographed two different setups on this property, and nobody on site used those three names while I was working, so I cannot tell you which corner of the garden carries which name. Here is what I would think about instead.

In summer, pick the site with the most shade. Both setups I have photographed have trees overhead, and on a July afternoon that shade is the difference between a comfortable ceremony and thirty minutes of your guests squinting and sweating.

The rest of the year, guest count matters more. The Grove does not publish a seating capacity for any of the three sites, so ask how many chairs each one holds before you fall in love with one.

Either way, walk all three at roughly the hour your ceremony would start, so you can see where the sun is sitting and where the shade falls at that time of day. In the tree setup, the string lights in the branches were already glowing while my couple said their vows, so an evening ceremony there does not leave you standing in the dark.

What time should you hold an outdoor ceremony at The Grove?

Every ceremony site here is outdoors, so the time you pick decides both how hot your guests are and how your photos look. The right time is very different in summer than in winter.

In July and August, start as late as the venue will let you. Las Vegas averages about 104 degrees in July and about 103 in August in NOAA’s long term climate normals, and the hottest stretch of the day is mid to late afternoon. A four o’clock ceremony in July puts your guests in folding chairs in direct sun at close to the worst hour of the day. The good news is that the summer sun stays up late, so you have room to push the ceremony back. On June 15 the sun sets in Las Vegas at 7:59 p.m., and there is still usable light for about half an hour after that. A seven o’clock ceremony is fully lit, and it falls after the heat of the afternoon instead of in the middle of it.

Winter has the opposite problem. On December 15 the sun sets at 4:27 p.m. and the light is gone by about 4:56 p.m. A four o’clock ceremony in December is finishing just as the sun goes down, so the end of it and every photo after it happen in fading light, and you are out of light entirely about half an hour later. In December and January I would put the ceremony at 2:30 or 3:00 p.m. so all of it happens in daylight, and let the reception run into the evening. That pulls your whole morning earlier, so plan hair and makeup around it.

There is a real tradeoff buried in all of this. A Monday through Thursday date in July is the least expensive way to get married at this venue, and July is also the hottest and stormiest stretch of the year in Las Vegas. If you are still choosing your month, I have written more about the best time of year to get married in Las Vegas and about what a summer wedding here is actually like.

What is the rain and wind plan at The Grove?

The Grove does not publish one. Every ceremony site here is outdoors, so this is the first thing I would settle before you sign.

Las Vegas has a real storm season. The North American monsoon runs June 15 through September 30, and in July and August it brings scattered thunderstorms that build over the mountains and move into the valley, sometimes with gusty wind and flash flooding.

There is an indoor room on the property, the Grand Garden Room. The Grove does not say anywhere that a ceremony can be moved into it, so ask before you assume it can.

Can you bring your own photographer to The Grove?

Photography is not part of any package, and The Grove keeps a preferred vendor list that includes photographers. Its site does not say whether an outside photographer is allowed or whether a fee applies, and the wedding directories do not carry a policy either, so call the venue and ask before you sign anything. Ask about planners in the same call. A ceremony coordinator comes with every package, and nothing published says whether you can also bring your own planner.

Either way that answer goes, photography is not in the package, so you are hiring a photographer separately. If you are working out what to set aside for it, I wrote up what a wedding photographer costs in Las Vegas in its own post.

Practical things to know before your tour

• Getting ready happens somewhere else. Bridal suite access is included, but it is a window measured in minutes, not a morning. Grand Garden Sunset gives you 90 minutes before the ceremony, Grand Garden Brunch gives you 60 and has a vanity and a three sided mirror, and GR Elite gives you 30. Book hair and makeup at your hotel or your house and plan to arrive close to ready.
• Your reception ends when your package hours run out. The Grove does not publish a nightly cutoff time. It sells a set number of hours instead, and your package says how many. Grand Garden Sunset, GR Buffet and Outdoor Chapel Package A run a four hour reception, Outdoor Chapel Package B runs three and a half, GR Elite runs five, and both brunch packages run three.
• Overtime has a published price. Staying past your hours costs $1,000 per hour on Grand Garden Sunset and $700 per hour on the Garden Terrace packages, and both rates keep the DJ and the bar running.

What to ask on the tour

This is the list I would take to The Grove. Some of it is what the venue does not publish, and the rest is what you want in writing before you sign.

• What happens if it rains, storms, or the wind picks up at ceremony time? Is there an indoor backup, is it held for us, and can that go in the contract?
• Is the Garden Terrace Room covered, open air, or somewhere in between?
• Do you run more than one wedding a day, and could another wedding overlap with ours?
• What happens between the end of our 30 minute ceremony and the start of the reception? Is there a cocktail hour, and where do our guests go?
• How many guests does each of the three ceremony sites seat?
• What is the difference between Menu A and Menu B?
• What counts as a specialty date, and is our date one?
• The deposit is non refundable. What does the rest of the payment schedule look like, and what happens if we have to move the date?

The Grove’s office is open seven days a week from 9 to 5, so you can get most of these answered by phone before you ever drive out there.

If you book The Grove, let’s talk

My favorite part of photographing at that property is the grounds behind the ceremony sites. I walked my couples out to the pond, across the wooden footbridge and down the brick paths under the date palms, and those are the photos they still have on their walls.

Photography is the one big piece The Grove leaves to you, and I would love to shoot it for you. I have photographed weddings there, and I have photographed weddings every year since 2010, so I show up already knowing the property and how the light moves across it. I am the photographer at every wedding I book, so nobody else gets sent in my place. My rate is $300 an hour when you book two hours or more. You can see more of the work on my wedding photography page and the full rates on my pricing page.

I hold dates only once your venue and date are confirmed, so as soon as you have signed with The Grove, send me a message and tell me all about your day. I would love to hear it.
