The most magical place.
The Market at Grelen was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team was transparent, kind, and incredibly detailed in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The space was versatile, allowing us to create the exact atmosphere we had envisioned. The stunning views help! Despite hosting many weddings throughout the year, the staff was so attentive and genuinely cared about making our big day special. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and are so grateful to the entire team at The Market at Grelen for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
The perfect spot!
Grelen is both a gorgeous place to host your wedding AND a beautiful spot to spend an afternoon walking, picking fruit at the orchard, buying a few new plants, and enjoying a delicious sandwich at their cafe. Best part is if you have your wedding there, you can come back to reminisce anytime! Both weddings I've planned there have turned out exceptionally with rave reviews from clients. There's something about the atmosphere that just lets people relax, be themselves, and let loose on the dance floor! Can't wait to visit again: to work or have fun!
Perfect venue!
Our experience with The Market at Grelen was fantastic from start to finish. Their communication was easy, clear, and fun throughout the planning process, which really put us at ease. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and unique, and our guests raved that it was the coolest wedding venue they had ever been to. The quality of their work was amazing - the photos they captured of our special day are truly stunning and we couldn't be happier. The staff was also incredibly warm and organized, ensuring that everything went smoothly so we could simply enjoy ourselves. We highly recommend The Market at Grelen to any couple looking for a beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding venue with an amazing team behind it.
