This gives them plenty of time to prepare and ensure every detail is in place for your celebration. If your vendors have not worked at Kotecki's Grandview Grove before, we kindly ask them to call our office in advance.

If you have any specific questions or ideas regarding candle decor, feel free to discuss them with us!

Yes, rose petals are a beautiful addition to any ceremony, and we welcome their use. We do request, however, that you use real rose petals instead of artificial ones.

Please feel free to discuss any specific ideas you have involving rose petals with us!

We're dedicated to ensuring every aspect of your event, including catering and service, is managed seamlessly.
