PeerSpace review: “This was a beautiful space for holding our event. We rented the room on a Saturday to teach a class to 15 Students and it was perfect. The room was very spacious, clean, and quiet. There is a nice sized kitchen connected to the room which was helpful for keeping our drinks refrigerated throughout the day. The bathrooms were all very tidy and the two gentlemen who assisted us in setting up for our meeting were extremely helpful and kind. The communication with the building’s Manager, Shay, was exceptional. We will absolutely be returning to the Grove Building to host our future meetings!”

We rented the grove building for a teacher professional development. The building is stunning. The architecture is beautiful. Shay was very helpful with anything we needed. It was a pleasure working with Shay, and the venue is a little hidden gem. ~ Michell, Office Manager (booked an off-site for 20 people)

The Grove Building was an amazing space! Very accommodating, the conference room had everything we needed. Shay and Bernie made sure we had coffee, hot water, and a variety of teas throughout our training. They both helped us set up and close out each day! The space is accessible and the parking lot was a plus. We used it to park and for breakout sessions. ~ Rheema, Program Coordinator (booked a training for 30 people)
