From the reviews
As a photographer who loves working with natural light, The Market at Grelen has always been one of those places that just delivers every time. The scenery is honestly breathtaking. You can do your ceremony out in the field or in the garden area, and both are beautiful in their own way.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Market at Grelen and I don’t even know how to express the absolute beauty this place has. Although the venue is breathtaking, the staff, specifically Nichole and Rey, made it feel like home to us. They are so welcoming and they just felt like family too.
Highly recommend this venue!!!! Had an absolutely beautiful wedding and experience at the Market. The venue has everything a plant-lover could ever want! This location offers hiking trails, antique shopping, lunch cafe, and more for your guests to enjoy.
We truly can't say enough good things about Market at Grelen. From our very first visit, we knew it was something special. Nichole welcomed us and she asked everyone's names (and remembered them, too!), which honestly set the tone for how personal and thoughtful the entire experience would be.
Getting married at The Market at Grelen
The Market at Grelen comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and 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, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
