Celebrating in Long Grove
Long Grove is easy to recognize. The covered bridge over Buffalo Creek, the old-fashioned shops along Robert Parker Coffin Road and the long, tree-lined country roads give the village a storybook look. Behind the historic center, large wooded lots and estate-style homes sit along winding roads, with horse fences, ponds and long driveways. It is a natural fit for weddings and garden parties.
Large private properties host ceremonies and receptions with tents. Plan for level ground and clear paths for carts and trucks.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
The covered bridge and shops draw photographers. Ask the village about any rules for events near public areas.
