From the reviews

My wedding experience was amazing. Shelley and staff had everything covered. And, the day of planned, Jessica, was a game changer. Not a single thing went wrong. Everyone was so professional. I was able to enjoy my day and Jessica had everything covered. She was there from the rehearsal to the end of the wedding.

HUGE shout out to Jessica.. the wedding coordinator. She is a literal angel & made sure everything went so smooth. I wouldn’t have made it through the day without her 💗 Also the venue was beautiful.. Thank you Shelley for allowing us to use your venue for our special day.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Apr 2025

Forrest Grove is truly the perfect hometown venue! From the moment we arrived for our rehearsal dinner the night before to the final dance at our reception, they made us feel like family.

★★★★★ — Claire, Jan 2025

We love Forrest Grove! We have been there many times over the years and it never disappoints. We recently had an engagement party for my son and it was a great night. Beautiful venue and delicious food. Thank you to Shelley, Joe, and the entire staff!

Getting married at Forrest Grove Plantation

Forrest Grove Plantation comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Forrest Grove Plantation

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Forrest Grove Plantation — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
