Read the transcript

You said you'd handle the reunion. Now it's handling you.

Endless texts. Cash envelopes. A spreadsheet nobody trusts.

Grove puts it all in one place.

Every household answers from its own link. No app, no account.

You see who's coming, branch by branch.

Who's paid, and who still owes, at a glance.

Every task has an owner and a due date, so nothing slips.

The potluck board shows the gaps, before seven potato salads show up.

And the family votes, so the debate actually ends.

On the weekend, the schedule is on everyone's phone.

And the Family Feed keeps everybody in the loop.

Afterward, the photos and stories land on the Memory Wall.

Cousins ask the elders, and the answers are kept.

Family history grows inside your family tree.

And when the reunion ends, Grove doesn't.

The next host starts ahead, with what worked and what to change.

You started tired. You finished proud.

Plan the reunion. Keep the family.

Grove guides are AI presenters. The families, classes and churches shown are samples. The one-minute tour also uses a few AI-generated scenes.

Family reunions

Planning a family reunion, from the first link to the next host.

For organizers

Running the reunion: the roster, the money, the plan and the handoff.

The Command Center puts RSVPs, tasks and money collected on one screen.

Read the transcript

Running a family reunion means keeping track of a lot at once.

Here's how Grove shows you where everything stands.

Your Command Center puts RSVPs, tasks, and money collected on one screen.

Today's three things tells you what needs your attention first.

For the headcount, see who's coming from each branch of the family.

On the budget page, every household shows what they owe and what they've paid.

Who's paid in full and who still owes is clear at a glance.

Cash and checks you collect are recorded right beside everything else.

And your refund policy is saved right next to your prices.

Tasks grouped by part of the plan, each with an owner and a due date.

Read the transcript

A reunion is a hundred small jobs.

Grove keeps them in one checklist, so nothing slips.

Tasks are grouped by part of the plan, from registration to the day itself.

Each one shows who owns it and when it's due.

Anything overdue stands out, so you know what to chase first.

Add a task in seconds, and give it to the right person.

Filter by category to focus on one part at a time.

Open the done list to see how far you've come.

And your Command Center pulls the top three tasks for today.

Start free at grovereunions.com.

Cash, Zelle and checks recorded in Who owes, from any payer, with card payments landing there on their own.

Read the transcript

Cash at the cookout, a Zelle on payday, a check in the mail. It adds up fast.

Here's how Grove keeps track of every payment, in one place.

On your Budget page, Who owes shows every household: what they owe, what they've paid, and what's left.

Tap Paid to see who's done, or All to see everyone.

When money comes in, open the household and tap Record a payment.

Enter the amount and how they paid: cash, Zelle, or a check, with its number.

Grandma paying for the grandkids? Pick her name, from any household.

Or choose someone outside the family.

Then tap Record payment, and their balance updates.

Every payment lands in the payment log, with who paid, how, and when.

And card payments show up here on their own, once your payouts are set up.

One schedule, day by day, for organizers, family and guests.

Read the transcript

Everybody asks the same question. What time is the picnic?

With Grove, the weekend schedule is always one tap away.

Organizers build it day by day, with times and places.

Each item is color coded, so meals, activities, and ceremonies are easy to spot.

Optional items are marked too.

Family members see the same schedule on their phones.

It's on every guest's personal link as well, with no app needed.

So when plans change, everyone sees the update.

The potluck board shows what's covered and what's still open.

The count at the top shows how much is covered so far.

Dishes are grouped by course, from main dishes to drinks.

Each one shows how many it serves.

Claimed dishes show who's bringing them.

Open dishes stand out, so the gaps are easy to spot.

Family members claim a dish in one tap.

As the organizer, you can add anything the board is missing.

Polls and decisions, with results everyone can see.

Read the transcript

Families have opinions. Lots of them.

Polls and decisions help you settle things without a hundred texts.

Polls show results as votes come in, and who voted for what.

Each one has a closing date, so the vote doesn't drag on.

Everyone sees the same count, so there's nothing to argue about.

Bigger questions go to Decisions, where the family votes on real choices.

You can see how many people have voted so far.

When it's time, end the vote and save what you decided.

Open votes show up in the Family Feed too, so everyone can weigh in.

A reunion isn't one weekend. It's a line that runs for generations.

Grove can turn that flier into a real invite page in about a minute.

Upload your flier. You don't need an account to try it.

Grove reads the dates, the schedule, and the prices.

Then it shows you what it found: the name, the dates, the city, the schedule, and the price.

Grove shows how many of your rooms are taken, and the date to book by.

When relatives RSVP, they tell you if they need a place to stay.

A short after-reunion survey for the family, and every answer in one place.

Read the transcript

The best time to plan the next reunion is right after this one.

Grove asks your family how it went, while it's still fresh.

After the reunion, family members find a short survey under Feedback.

They rate the weekend, and the places you picked.

Then they tell you what worked, and what to do differently.

They can even offer to help plan next time.

As the organizer, you see every answer in one place.

The average rating, how many answered, and who wants to help.

So the next reunion starts with what your family already told you.

Connect or finish your payout account from Family settings, what the secure page asks for, and how to know it worked.

Read the transcript

Card payments are on in Grove, and they need one thing from you first.

A payout account, so the money has somewhere to go. Here's how to finish it.

Open your reunion. In the sidebar, tap Family settings and payouts.

Under Payment collection, tap Connect payouts.

Already started? The button says Finish setup, and it picks up where you left off.

You finish on our payment partner's secure page. It may ask you to make a login and confirm your phone.

Then it asks for your name, your date of birth, the last four of your Social Security number, and your home address.

And the bank account for your payouts. Card payments go straight there, not through Grove.

When you're done, you come back to Grove, and it says Payouts are connected.

If it says Almost there, or your payout account shows restricted or action required, a detail is still missing.

Tap Finish setup again, or use the link in the payout partner's email, and add it.

Then your family can pay you by card.

What relatives see when they pay by card, where card payments land in Who owes, and how to refund to a card.

Read the transcript

Once your payouts are connected, your family can pay you by card.

Here's what they see, and where the money shows up for you.

Each relative opens their personal link and sees what their household owes.

They tap to pay.

They can pay the full balance, or type in another amount.

The money goes straight to your account. Grove never touches it.

After the secure card page, they come back to Payment received.

On your Budget page, card payments land in Who owes.

Open a household to see each payment, with the date and who paid.

Need to give money back? Tap Refund, enter the amount and a reason, and tap Refund to their card.

It goes back to their card, and shows as refunded once the card network confirms it.

Build a plan with a deposit per person and payments on dates, or pay as you go; put households on it; what relatives see and pay; and changing a plan later.

Read the transcript

Not every household can pay it all at once. A payment plan lets them pay a little at a time.

Here's how to set one up, and what your family sees.

On your Budget page, under Payment plans, tap New plan.

Name it, and in the simple editor, add a deposit per person: one amount for adults, another for children.

Then pick how many payments, how often, and when they start.

Or choose Pay as you go: any amount, any time, until your final date.

Make it the default, and save.

To put a household on it, tap Change, pick the plan, and preview. Only that household changes.

Each line shows what's due now, or the next payment.

Your relative sees their schedule on their RSVP page.

And when they pay, one tap covers what's due now. Or they can pay it all.

Change the plan later, and Grove shows who it affects before you save.

Payments already made stay where they are. Only what's still owed moves.
