Grand View's elegant ballroom features wall-to-wall breathtaking panoramic lake views. It is stylishly detailed, with opulent crystal chandeliers, a newly renovated hardwood dance floor, and a 12-foot multicolor fireplace. Ideally situated to provide a romantic backdrop to the sweetheart table, our ballroom can comfortably accommodate up to 250 people for a dinner reception with dancing. The cocktail room features a 35-foot long oak wood bar which lends a dramatic look to any event.

The staircase from the ballroom down to the grounds provide a dramatic entrance for the wedding party to approach.

Waterfront dream wedding spot!

We held our dream wedding at the Grand View last weekend.

We first booked the venue in early 2020, even though we weren't able to view the inside due to current restrictions. The lakeside ceremony view sold us immediately.

We also loved how much was baked into the standard package; e.g. the full open bar, linens, seating cards, etc. We really didn't want to worry about add ons and potential additional costs, so the all-inclusive pricing made it super easy.

Over the course of the next year of planning, Gina was awesome. She kept us up to date with changing restrictions and made the entire process feel stress-free. Through pre-wedding planning meetings and the wedding weekend itself, Gina was professional, highly responsive, and accommodating. Anything and everything we asked about seemed to be a 'yes'.

Our family & friends are still raving about how beautiful our venue was. The wedding day & night went so smoothly, and we're confident its because of how competent Gina and the Grand View team are.

Highly recommended!

FLAWLESS execution with our 200-person wedding on NYE!!!

We could not be HAPPIER with our experience hosting our wedding at Grand View! We had a tall order and high expectations since we had over 200 people on New Year’s Eve and let us tell you… Grand View delivered with FLAWLESS execution. One of the major reasons we booked this venue was that they host weddings all the time, so they know what they are doing, and our wedding was no exception. Their expertise was evident throughout the planning process, and truly shined on wedding day. The staff worked in tandem with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly and on time. We were able to put our full trust in them to carry out our vision for our wedding, which really allowed us to soak in every precious moment. The venue itself is gorgeous and the food from Chef Linda was excellent.

We were so well taken care of by the entire staff, but a special shoutout to Kelly and Tatiana!! Kelly was our coordinator and a true master of her craft. She is very detail-oriented and brought us + the wedding party through the entire process from start to finish, answering every question we had. When I dropped off my decor, I realized I had completely forgotten to design the decor for our sweetheart table and Kelly was able to use our extra centerpiece items to make it look beautiful for us. Tatiana was my bridal attendant and took such good care of me through the whole night. She made sure my dress stayed together and didn’t snag on the cement outside, kept a water handy for me to take sips during pictures, and just in general brought a positive, calming energy that put me, my bridal party, and the moms at such ease.

We would HIGHLY recommend Grand View to anyone in the area looking for a venue that will take care of them on the biggest day of their lives!!! THANK YOU!!!

You won't regret it!!!!

Overview:

Grand View was the venue of our dreams for so many reasons. We started our planning process with them in December of 2022 and with each step along the way our questions were answered and we had everything we needed to make an informed decision. The staff really goes above and beyond to ensure that the couple has what they want and need for a perfect wedding day. Working with Tatiana was a pleasure and she stepped in and made our every wish come true.

LOCATION
Grand View is STUNNING. It is surrounded by Lake Nipmuc and will be stunning on a summer or winter day (we got married in late December). There is ample parking and there really is not much surrounding the venue so you really get a private, intimate experience without the movement of anyone else in the area.

FOOD/DRINK
The food is really, really good. Point blank. I’d say 50% of the reason my husband and I chose the venue was for the FOOD! They can customize options to meet the needs of any and all dietary needs and preferences and they even go so far as making specific recipes that may be special to you and your family. So many of our guests could not stop commenting on how yummy everything was, from the hors d'oeuvres to the main courses and late night snacks. Their bar options were endless and our guests were all satisfied to say the least.


SERVICE/COORDINATION
Half way through the planning process, our original wedding coordinator suddenly left Grand View and Tatiana stepped right in, seamlessly transitioning to the new role and communicating with us consistently along the way. The month of, we did a thorough review of everything and when I say Tatiana was ON IT, she was on it! The day of, her and the bridal attendance, Sophia, were so patient, helpful, flexible and kind and helped me and my bridal party feel comfortable and have everything we needed for a seamless day.

Most venues piece meal different components of the wedding, but Grand View’s packages are mostly all inclusive, making it less stressful on you to figure things out. I could go on and on about Grand View but I highly recommend you check it out for yourself as you consider your planning.
