The Omni Grove Park Inn Weddings

Seating Arrangements/Set-Up

Most indoor and outdoor venues can be set up to match your plans. We offer elegant white folding chairs for outside venues or our banquet chairs for the indoor venues. We are happy to assist with any tables you may need for the ceremony along with our white linen and chairs. We also include an elegant fruit-infused water station.

Décor

Show your unique style additions to our set-up and personalize your day (e.g., flowers, linens, chiavari chairs, x-back chairs, or an arch). We require proof of insurance for all vendors.

Our In-House floral and design and décor team would be happy to assist you with any floral or décor rental needs. Please contact Ivan Nazario with PRI Productions, at ivanz@priproductions.com , or call 1-800-398-3846.

Music/Audio-Visual

Bring in acoustic music of your choice, or, for a fee, you may have our onsite audio visual company, ENCORE, arrange an iPod hook-up for your existing sound system. If you have a DJ that will be providing the ceremony music, please make all arrangements directly through your DJ.

A comprehensive selection of state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment is offered through our in-house partner, ENCORE. From pin-spot lighting on the floral centerpieces and color washes for depth and drama to full-scale video presentations, ENCORE can give your wedding that special touch. Please contact Joey McCurry with ENCORE, at joey.mccurry@encore-us.com.
