Cassie and Danny Dennis at Silent Grove were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was always prompt, helpful and friendly, which made planning our wedding day a breeze. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - very spacious, warm and intimate. They went out of their way to ensure everything was neat and taken care of, even drying the benches outside when it rained that morning. They also offered assistance for my mother, who was in a wheelchair, to easily access the outdoor area. I would highly recommend Silent Grove to any couple looking for a wonderful wedding venue with an attentive and accommodating staff. We had such a special day and would definitely use their venue again.

The Lodge at Boyce was the perfect place to have our family holiday get together. The interior is spacious, even with our large group, but still intimate enough for everyone to be included. Plus it’s gorgeous inside, and could be used for any occasion. Plenty of parking area, and a perfect location- private, quiet, without being too far away from Bowling Green, Scottsville or Alvaton, and easy to find. We all loved having a place to be together, without worrying about size, space, seating, etc. We, without a doubt, will continue to use The Lodge for future events.
