The Grand Reserve • 903 Venues • The Grand@Greyline — Attraction in Lexington

Like many couples attempting to get married in 2020, we were met with many challenges when it came to tying the knot! We were originally planning to get married in 2020 when the space was still The Grand Reserve, and were forced to push back our celebration to 2021. We opted to get married at a small ceremony in South Carolina and have a vow renewal a year later at the Grand Reserve, now 903 Venues, as we already had our deposits down from 2020. Jill the owner did a great job taking over as our main point of contact, as our previous contact had departed the company in the midst of the pandemic. Our celebration was a little unorthodox and a bit less formal than would be an actual wedding ceremony, and I give the staff a ton of credit for giving us exactly what we wanted. My wife wanted a more boho feel to the ceremony, the event space, and specifically our Romeo+Juliet table at dinner. The ideas and decorations were spot on. Prior to the ceremony they took us to their storage room where they had more decorations than imaginable. They will definitely be able to provide you with exactly what YOU may be looking for. Communication prior to the event, the day-of, and post-event were always prompt and polite. The food and beverage exceeded our expectations! As we were sort of in the in-between period coming out of the pandemic and now, there wasn’t a set of specific menu options, so the staff took our idea and ran with it. We had passed apps consisting of caprese shooters, sweet corn & crab fritters, and gourmet mini hot brown. We elected for buffet style with a pasta bar with spinach and goat cheese ravioli, home made meatballs, beef tenderloin, ceasar salad, and various breads. The feedback from our guests was also very positive on the food quality. The bar was fully stocked with beer, wine, and various liquors and specifically several bourbons at my request! We each had a themed cocktail they prepared for us as well. A mint julep for the groom, and a tequila based concoction for the bride. They provided a stage for our band and had excellent sound equipment. Our day of coordinator did a great job blending in but also being there when we needed something from her. She did all of the communication with our various third party vendors, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. All in all I would absolutely recommend selecting 903 venues and their staff to anyone considering selecting this space and team for their...

If I could give this venue a 0 I would. Very disappointed in the complete lack of response my fiancé and I have received from this venue. We visited the Grand Reserve in early 2020, pre covid-19 as we were looking for a place to hold our wedding reception. We met with a lady named Mellissa who was extremely knowledgeable and quick to respond, and the décor/aesthetic was a perfect fit for our reception. Fast forward to mid-August, after we put our planning on hold due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. We were finally ready to begin finalizing our plans for the fall of 2021 unfortunately, it appears Mellissa no longer works at this venue because my fiancé and I have painstakingly reached out to 903 Venues upwards of 10+ times via email and phone over the past 6 weeks with no reply. So, we have decided to move on and find another venue that values our business and provides even basic customer service. It is sad because we had already envisioned celebrating our big day in this space but if they are unwilling to respond to multiple calls and emails before a deposit is paid, I am confident they would be incapable of providing even adequate support when planning our event. Completely unacceptable, especially given the significant price tag that this...

Well to someone who just showed up to my wedding it looked great, but that’s only because after several meetings with the owner I still ended up having to move all the tables and chairs around myself except for the cake tables and sweetheart table which weren’t available for us to decorate the morning of. She decided her layout looked better than what I had requested. The sweetheart and cake tables were on the wrong wall so yay. On top of that I requested a peach Bellini as my signature drink (two months before) I got strawberry/mango cause the bartender couldn’t find it that morning. She told us it was there and had been misplaced-either the bar tender who didn’t know us lied or she did (my money is on the owner). Finally the rest of the food was delicious (minus the missing cheese and cracker trays which she begrudgingly took off our bill) except the very PINK burger. When I asked her she told me it was done, but pink is not done for the majority of people. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go here. Request the DJ David Weathers at a separate venue though he...
