We booked our wedding at Cascade two years out from our chosen date. It was the very first venue we had toured, and was set up so beautifully with Christmas decorations. The pricing was EXTREMELY affordable, compared to all the other venues we were looking at. We were originally hoping to have a fall themed wedding, but after seeing the decor they had up (and the off peak pricing) we confidently decided on a winter wedding. We saved at least $1,000 on decorations alone, due to them having their own beautiful set up for the winter season. Rosa was extremely fun to coordinate with, and we always got into contact with someone right away when we had questions leading up to the big day. Silvana was always there if we wanted to stop in for any quick looks, or any detailed questions. And on the wedding day itself she was the first one to snap a few pictures of us on her personal phone, thrilled to see our vision come to life with her help.The guests raved about everything from the service to the set up and coordination. But what people spoke of the most (including us) was the food. My husband and I are huge food lovers and melted at the first few bites of the food. We had a buffet styled dinner for our wedding for our 125 guests. Even with the refills on trays, the guests completely cleared every drop of food down to the pan. I would love to relive our wedding day for a variety of reasons, but the food is one of the biggest memories. The staff took care of my husband and I the entire night, grabbing our food and drinks for us all night. The blonde bartender with the glasses (I wish I caught her name), literally sent me away from waiting at the bar and risked her life to bring me my drink in the middle of a very chaotic dance floor. I have so many good memories from our day, but I truly don't thank many of them would have been possible without all their help. No matter the season, I seriously recommend using them for your venue for any occasion. I plan to go to as many of their future public events just for the sake of seeing Rosa & Silvana again AND of course - the food. Reviewed on 19-12-2023

She had so much experience and that shined through. We didn’t need a wedding coordinator because we had her. She set us up perfectly, and prepared us for “plan b” when the weather didn’t cooperate. She had the room set EXACTLY how we imagined it.The food was absolutely amazing. Everything. The service team was the best I’d ever experienced. The venue is stunning, parking is plentiful.We literally had a perfect day, Rosa & Cascade were a big factor in that.I would (and have) recommend them to everyone. Five stars. Reviewed on 18-11-2022

The moment I met with her you get a sense of comfort, family, and professionalism. She handled every detail always kept a timeline to tell me when to do what. Her recommendations were all top notch. Our guests have non stop been raving about the food, the drinks, and the amazing party that our wedding was. None of our amazing night would be possible without Rosa and her team. I don't eat salmon but multiple people said it was the best salmon they've ever had. The eggplant was as If my mom cooked it. I can go on and on about how amazing everything was. I never dreamed of a fairytale wedding but they truly gave me one because I felt like such a princess. Rosa is above and beyond. My mom as well as my entire family and guests were blown away.

Danielle Dawood(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2022 We had our wedding at Cascade July 9 of this year. As soon as I saw the beautiful garden and waterfall features outside I knew this was the perfect place. It’s just the perfect place to have an outdoor summer wedding. Rosa worked with me during the planning process and made everything easy. Our guests loved everything especially the food. While all that was great the actual wedding day for me was unbelievably stressful and it all was caused by a major lack of organization and communication from the staff at Cascade. My now husband and I made a few trips to the venue and each time Rosa had no idea who we were. She had to ask for our names and the wedding date even at our last meeting which was one weeks prior. On our wedding day I arrived to find another wedding in progress despite being told very clearly that only one event takes place at a time. I asked the very unhelpful staff member who was ushering in guests where my bridal room was, to which he answered it’s in use but I could sit in the sales office. After that confusion I asked to take to Rosa, again the only person I had worked with up until this point and she was nowhere to be found. Another woman who’s name I don’t recall associated us by mostly barking orders at me. Once our ceremony started the guests from the other wedding started to file out and many stood around staring at me which was so uncomfortable. During the reception I was annoyed to see the custom made welcome sign I asked to be set up for guests to use as a guest book was on the floor and the provided markers were missing. Also we had a relative who is allergic to onions and arranged a special meal did not get her food. It was as if that conversation never happened. I really could keep going about all the small details that were overlooked or lied about but instead I’ll just say if you want to feel special on your special day you should look at another venue.

Laura Kuta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2017 On September 23rd my husband and I had the most magical ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Cascades. Rosa, Alexis and the whole team were amazing to work with from the beginning of the planning process until the last dance. Working with Rosa to plan everything from the ceremony, to welcoming guests, cocktail hour and the reception was absolutely amazing. She has wonderful ideas that I never thought of. Their packages are so reasonable and the extras they can provide are by far the best we've encountered and trust me visited a lot of venues on our journey to the alter. From the moment we met Rosa at our first meeting, without starting the tour we both knew this wonderful place was where we would get married. There was so much food and drinks, our guests are still talking about how ours was the best wedding they have every attended. Alexis and her team did an amazing job taking our decorations and making our vision come to life! The staff that waited on us while we were preparing to walk down the isle were magnificent. The two bartenders of them even noticed I wasn't buttoned up into my dress properly and dropped everything to help my mother fix my dress seconds before I walked down the isle. We also had a snafu with the seating chart and Rosa and team were there to fix it without my knowing until after to avoid stressing me out!!! From the moment we saw the pergola I knew that was where we should have our ceremony. I couldn't have imagined it any better than they prepared it for my day. The beautiful cobblestone walk past the waterfall to the pergola is a photographic dream. I have seen the preview of the photos the photographer took and they are beautiful. One thing my husband has OCD about is cleanliness and this venue went above and beyond his expectations. He could not stop talking about how clean Cascades is both inside and outside compared to some of the other venues we had seen. The entire staff were friendly and attentive and helped our guests have the time of their lives at our wedding. All my husband and I wanted was for our guest to have a great time, and that's exactly what was delivered. From being greeted with a glass of Rose before the ceremony, to being stuffed during cocktail hour, the delicious buffet style dinner, the late night pizza and dessert bar; no one left hungry. If I could give Cascade a million stars, I would. The team here treats you like family and make the wedding planning process so simple. I didn't even hire a wedding planner because I had Rosa :).

Ashley Steinfeld(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-03-2018 We got married on September 29, 2017 and had our reception at Cascade. It was a perfect night and could not have gone better. As the bride and groom, our needs were met in every way from set up to decor to food and drinks- we felt completely relaxed the whole night. In addition to making sure we were settled, Alexa, Domenic, and Rosa made sure our guests were taken care of, and they went above and beyond. The bartenders and waitstaff were amazing. Cascade's staff timed every detail perfectly to keep our energetic wedding guests and wedding party happy. The greatest compliment was getting calls after the wedding from our guests who described the night as perfect, fun, and the best wedding they've been to in a long time. We are forever thankful to Cascade! Reviewed on 02-10-2017

My husband and I got married on September 13th 2017 and it was the best time of my life. The staff was attentive to our every need. Dom was always there to answer the phone when I had a question and he made our experience perfect. Alexa was our matradee and she was wonderful. She was there when I needed her and never left our side. All the staff at cascade was wonderful and our wedding day was a night to remember.

Rosa was amazing and so helpful with every step in the process. I was nervous and anxious in the short time frame, but she calmed me down and assisted through every step. My wedding far wxceeded my expectations. The food was incredible and the venue is breathtaking. We got married outside on a gorgeous august afternoon and the reception was in the garden room.

Kelly Guerra(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2017 My husband and I had a long engagement, so we had plenty of time when it came to choosing our reception venue. We easily looked at 20 different places across Connecticut, but the minute that we toured Cascade, we knew it would be the one. The venue is spacious, spotless, and spectacular. The staff is beyond patient and willing to answer any and all questions. They will respond to calls and emails rapidly, and sit for meetings whenever you feel it necessary. Domenic, Rosa, and Alexa guided my family, who had never planned a wedding, through the entire process--from choosing a menu to the seating chart. I knew that, no matter what, the reception would be everything that I dreamed of. I met with Rosa the week of the wedding and trucked in with a ton of props and decorations. She made sure that everything was exactly how I envisioned it--I wouldn't have changed a thing had I been able to set up myself (and as a true control freak, I really wanted to). My guests are still talking about how fantastic the food is (I HIGHLY recommend the mac and cheese station) , how friendly all of the staff was, and how beautiful the venue is. The guests, like Joe and I, loved being the only wedding there, having a separate space for cocktail hour, the gorgeous outdoor patios, the fabulous lobby and bar, the private space for the bridal suites, the huge, cleanly bathrooms, and of course the all wood ballroom floor (complete with chandeliers--just like Beauty and the Beast), which left plenty of room for dancing. We had about 200 people in attendance, and had an abundance of space, while still feeling intimate. I would guide any of my friends or family members toward Cascade for a wedding or any type of party--it'll be an event you'll never forget! Reviewed on 09-08-2017

Start to finish, they aimed to serve in every way.

We also added the Belgium Waffle Ice Cream Sundae Station.

They have delicious, high quality food with incredible presentation, taste, and portions. Our guests kept expressing how impressed they were. They did a great job of making sure the wedding party had plenty to eat and drink while we were getting ready and taking photos. Venue: Easy to find, plenty of parking, beautifully maintained building and grounds. Recently renovated so this place looks brand new. First class all the way. Lots of options here. Staff: Great personalities, lots of fun, and very dedicated and experienced. More than once, staff came to our rescue to do things like brainstorm ideas, give advice, and even helped with my insanely complicated bustle. My husband had foot surgery right before the wedding and they helped us figure out how to stage everything for his mobility. Price: There are a lot of options here and you can customize for your budget. We chose the Winter Wedding Special, which was an incredible package with perks and since our wedding day fell in early April (the week before Easter), we had beautiful, warm weather.

My guests still are talking about the stuffed lobster tail and filet mignon dinner. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful.

They helped me with my wedding dress when my bridesmaids were too busy enjoying the party. Our ceremony was in the gardens, then cocktail hour in the Garden Room, plenty of food, drinks and seating for my guests. Then the reception was in the main ballroom, which looked so elegant. We danced all night long, and at the end, my head waitresses even packed everything up for us. If I had to do it all over again, I would only change one thing, I would add more time to the party.

The beautiful gardens and waterfalls look stunning from every angle outside throughout the summer, the double staircase leading into the ballroom makes for an impressive entrance, and there is a separate room for the cocktail hour with a full bar and outdoor access. We also chose cascade due to the fact that we were the only wedding going on so the staff was completely dedicated to us, we didn't worry about sharing the grounds, or any other part of our special day with another couple. We attended the food tasting, which was for an additional cost and cash only so beware, as well as the bridal fair which was useful for finding a bakery for the cake. The food at cascade is absolutely phenomenal and I haven't had anything there that i did not enjoy, especially the filet mignon, stuffed sole, and clams casino. The staff at cascade - Rosa, Dom, and Alexa - were wonderful throughout the entire year of planning, very informative, always willing to help, and so friendly.

Also, when one of the wait staff heard that a few of our relatives were Gluten-Free, they immediately asked the chef to prepare a gluten-free batch of pasta to serve to those guests. It feels really good to have guests come up to you at your wedding and tell you that!! At Cascade's we felt so at ease because we were in such great hands!\r\rI honestly cannot say enough about Cascade. We would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a classic & elegant venue where you are truly taken care of!\r\r~Thank you Cascade!\rAshley & Scott Roffman Reviewed on 20-09-2014
Jennifer Gertsch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-08-2014 My experience with Cascade was truly amazing! My husband and I had looked at a few other venues in the area but once we met with Rosa all bets were off! She was so helpful and really a pleasure to work with. The venue itself is what I can best describe as timeless with it's beautiful hardwood/marble floors and stunning chandeliers. It doesn't have that outdated hotel carpeting (which to some may be a small thing but it just looks horrible in pictures!). Our guests were so pleased with all of the food from cocktail hour to the reception! There were so many options to choose from and it was all delicious! But what really makes Cascade one of...if not THE best place to have your wedding...it's the service! On the day of the wedding Christina was our coordinator and she was excellent! She made sure everything ran smoothly and insured I could just enjoy my day with no stress! We had our own personal waitress who made sure we actually ate at our wedding (seems like a simple thing...but it's not!). Also, the bartenders who made sure our glasses were always full with whatever we were drinking! \rI would highly recommend Cascade for a wedding or any formal occasion! It's been exactly a month since the wedding and all of our guests are still raving about how wonderful it was! Reviewed on 09-09-2014
J Z(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2014 From the moment my fiance and I saw Cascade, we knew it was the perfect place to hold our wedding reception. Rosa, the general manager, is extremely personable, so sweet and helpful, and extremely experienced. She understood exactly what we needed when we described our desire to incorporate elements from our very different cultural backgrounds, and she worked with us to achieve our vision flawlessly. She was always available for questions and her advice was spot-on. The venue is gorgeous and felt absolutely magical with the elegant decor and beautiful outdoor space. All our guests were absolutely raving about the appetizers during cocktail hour, and the dinner and desserts were fantastic. Hands-down the best wedding catering I have ever experienced. Also, Cascade gives you a choice of bakeries from which to order your cake, and our cake provided by J Cakes was moist and delicious and tastefully decorated. The waitstaff was attentive and professional and I felt so at ease knowing Rosa was there to make sure our special day was running smoothly. You will not regret choosing Cascade as your wedding venue! Reviewed on 18-07-2014
Alyson DiMaria(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2014 The event coordinators, Rosa and Dominic, were extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. They made my wedding day absolutely perfect! The venue itself is even more beautiful in person and the food was amazing. I'm still receiving compliments on both the overall presentation and how delicious everything was. I planned my wedding from out of state and I truly couldn't have done so without Rosa and Dominic's help. If you are looking for a venue for a special event this is definitely the place for you! It's reasonably priced and you will leave your event very happy!! Thank you again Rosa and Dominic for making our special day absolutely perfect!! Reviewed on 15-06-2014
Tara Picarde(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-04-2014 Where do I start when trying to describe the absolute BEST wedding venue in Connecticut?! Upon the very first day of walking into Cascade to tour their venue, my now husband and I immediately knew that Cascade was perfect for us! It is so beautiful, clean, and modern. We especially loved the hard wood floors and \"clean-slate\" that the venue offers. Far too often, CT venues have ugly carpeting and curtains that clash with personal weddings colors, schemes, etc. Cascade's ballroom is so grand with their gorgeous chandeliers and neutral window treatments. The entire space is hardwood floors which provides a fantastic , never-too-crowded space for dancing! The outside grounds are so pretty and offer the perfect back drop for wedding photos. Rosa, Dominic and Alexa were always going above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience throughout the entire wedding planning process. They answered every question, and always made us feel so comfortable and stress-free! On the day of our wedding, Rosa was a saint! She is so incredibly good at her job. Her presence alone just makes you feel calm and confident that everything is going to go really well. She was finishing my sentences, guiding our steps, and making sure that we felt extra special and taken care of all night! She was making sure our food was warm and bringing us fresh drinks...we never had to think about anything! We were able to enjoy every second! Our guests are still raving about the \"most incredible cocktail hour they have ever experienced\". The food at Cascade is out of this world. Delicious and large portions that guests were thrilled with! My vendors all told us that Cascade's filet was the best filet they have ever had. From the service to the food to the beauty of the venue, and especially the really amazing family and waitstaff that runs it, Cascade was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We highly recommend Cascade as the best choice for your CT wedding venue!~The Picardes Reviewed on 04-05-2014

Cascade is the perfect venue for a wedding. My husband and I visited more than 10 venues before we chose Cascade, and there was no comparison. For the same prices as everywhere else we visited, the venue and food was 5 star vs a 2 or 3 star in the other venues. We had the entire venue for the duration of our cocktail hour and reception. Cascade has a look of complete elegance with the hardwood floors throughout and gorgeous chandeliers. From the appetizers to the main course the food was delicious. Our guests were more than pleased with the food, drinks, and wait staff. I would and will recommend Cascade in a heartbeat. Reviewed on 18-04-2014
Krista Cusano Mondo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-01-2014 I attended Cascade for my first time while visiting a Bridal Show. I knew the minute I walked in, this was where I wanted to get married! From the friendly staff and amazing food to the venue itself, I fell in LOVE!! Out of curiosity, I did look at a few area facilities, but nothing compared. When we finally made the decision to book Cascade, they were very accommodating to my fiance and I. They arranged a time that worked for us and helped create a package that met all of our needs. Every time I had a question, I could call or email and everything was addressed promptly and professionally. The day of our wedding came up so quickly and they worked together to make our wedding day so special. The staff on our wedding day were able to keep us calm and organized throughout the whole day!! Who would have thought we would have our very own Wedding Planner at no extra cost!?!?! The service was amazing and the food was impeccable. We haven't heard one negative remark about our wedding day! The banquet room was set up perfectly and the entire day was flawless!! I can't thank the staff enough for all they did!! You can tell they have been doing this for a long time and that is something very important when selecting your reception location! I wish I could do it all over again and without a doubt, Cascade would be our place!! Reviewed on 25-02-2014

We were on a strict budget, so we customized a package to fit the bill. But you would have never known it because everything was 5 star. My guests couldn't get over how beautiful Cascade was. The food should be Zagat rated. The waiters were very polite, one even went above and beyond for my elder aunt. Domenic and Rosa were very helpful in the planning process. I fell in love with Cascade immediately and I am so happy that they were able to work with my budget. I couldn't imagine having my wedding any where else. Reviewed on 18-09-2013

Ali Landin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2013 Cascade did an amazing job. I couldn't have asked for better or more. The replied to my emails on the same day and phone calls immediately. Then on the day of my wedding, they were waiting for us at the front door with champagne. The cocktail hour was in the garden room, so we got to have the first look of our dining room. It was perfect. Our guests really enjoyed the food and drinks, and the dancing all night long since service was very prompt. I felt like a guest myself. The head waitress and maître d was always one step ahead of me and I didn't have to worry about anything. They were waiting for me after pictures to help bustle my dress. They were waiting for me after being introduced down the staircase to take my bouquet so I didn't have to dance with it. They even told us how to cut the cake correctly before pictures so that we knew how. Everytime I needed something, they were already there and waiting. Weddings can be so stressful, but I can honestly say mine was not! I enjoyed every seconds of it and didn't have to worry about anything. Reviewed on 11-09-2013
angela brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2013 From the moment I walked into Cascade I new it was the place for our wedding. The ballroom was exactly what I imagined for my wedding day. The high ceilings and countless chandeliers took my breathe away. While our guests were enjoying cocktail hour in the garden, Rosa, our event coordinator,s let Jeff and I take a first peek at the ballroom. That moment was one of the most memorable of the evening. WE walked into our ballroom and got to see all the hard work of preparing for this big day. The uplighting and centerpieces and all the little details were just perfect. Rosa even had the DJ play our first dance song, so we can practice the steps again. This is something she knew Jeff was stressed about. I felt like a princess, this beautiful ballroom just for us. That was only the perfect start of the night. Cascade did not disappoint! The perfection continued all the way to the end. Thank you so much Cascade! Reviewed on 15-08-2013
stella ponte(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2013 I cant even put in words how thankful I am to Cascade for making my wedding better than I could have imagined. Since my honeymoon, my guests have been calling and raving about how amazing the food and cocktails were. One of the bartenders was even putting on a show towards the end of the night tossing bottles in the air, etc. Dom was my wedding coordinator. He is fantastic! He returned emails and calls immediately. He helped me plan so many special touches. He has great ideas. My cocktail hour was in the garden room. We customized the Gala Menu and had food in every corner of the cocktail space. Dom also suggested a couple signature drinks which were crowd pleasers. The ballroom is breathe taking. The chandeliers are sparkling and set a romantic mood. Our dinner was top notch. The filet mignon was so tender and the stuffed lobster tail was great and the meat was out of the shell so very easy to eat. For dessert and instead of a wedding cake, we had a cupcake station. There was a pastry chef making cupcakes to order. My guests got to pick what type of cake, frosting and toppings they wanted and the chef made it fresh. From my first meeting all the way until the end of the night, Cascade's staff has been wonderful. I hope I get invited to a wedding at Cascade so I could enjoy again.

Our guests told us that they had never seen such a beautiful venue, and we definitely agree! The flowers and landscaping, waterfalls and archways all look magical in our photos outside. We had a picture-perfect ceremony at the pergola, surrounded by flowers and the tall trees and hedges that give the ceremony site privacy from the road and the rail trail. Everyone has also commented on how impressive the reception hall looked with its tall ceilings and chandeliers, the grand staircase, large dance floor, and unique oval tables. The food at Cascade was so delicious too! We only heard rave reviews about all of the appetizers and meal choices! \rRosa and Domenic worked with all of our vendors to ensure that everything went without a hitch for our rehearsal and on our wedding day.
