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. This venue 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.LOCATIONGrand 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/DRINKThe 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/COORDINATIONHalf 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. Reviewed on 07-01-2024

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!!! Reviewed on 03-01-2024

My husband and I just had our dream wedding reception at the Grand View on 12/16/23. From start to finish, the staff at the Grand View worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great wedding day. When it came time for planning the wedding, we got paired up with Grand View coordinator - Erin. I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE Erin is. Erin sat down with me for over 2 hours to confirm all of our wedding details, guest meals, special accommodations, and linens (just to name a few things). She helped to ease any stress I had and answered all of it throughly. If she didn’t have the answer right then, she wrote it down and made sure to get back to me that next morning with the answer. When it came time for the wedding weekend, Erin and her team were all hands on deck to make sure this weekend was epic. Erin did a great job taking an inventory of many items & lended a helpful hand the entire time. She was beyond flexible with the changes we wanted to make to existing decor. The week leading into my wedding, I had multiple questions & guests cancel due to illness. I emailed Erin each time with replacement guests or questions & she was quick to reply and to update the guest count. The day of the wedding, everything went perfectly. As a bride, people always said I needed to be prepared for things to go wrong. I never felt like I needed to this because everything truly felt perfect. Most of this was thanks to the Grand View. Upon arriving at the Grand View for our reception, we were greeted by Kelly, Erin & Tatiana. Tatiana was our bridal attendant for the night and she was AMAZING! She took care of us the entire night with a smile on her face. When we got to the GV, we headed right outside for photography. Erin and Tatiana came with us & fixed my dress and veil throughout the 2 hours of photos. While doing this, Tatiana brought us drinks and appetizers. During the reception, the team made sure we stayed on timeline & was efficient with service. The Grand View accommodated my request of espresso martinis & everyone was raving about them. They passed many trays of appetizers. When it came time to move into the ballroom, it was decorated perfectly & well staffed. Guests enjoyed not only their salad, bread, & second course, but also their huge portion size of their dinner choices. After dinner, GV put out our coffee/tea and dessert quickly to ensure we had the maximum time dancing. Dancing started & it didn’t stop until the night ended! Every guest who attend spoke so highly of the venue, the staff, & the food. Guests raved about the service - they said staff from the Grand View continuously checked in with them throughout the night asking how their experience was going. The facility is beautiful, the staff is professional, the food is amazing, & the planning process is easy. If you are looking for a high class wedding venue staffed with kind people who care about you and your wedding day, look no further! I highly recommend The Grand View for your wedding day. We had tons of people tell us this was the best wedding they ever attended. This was thanks to the Grand View. Choosing to celebrate our wedding at Grand View was the best decision we made for our wedding.Special shout out to Erin and Tatiana- you ladies are rockstars! You made our day so fun, easy, and memorable. Thank you for sticking right by my side all night to make sure we were taken care of. You are both amazing at what you do! Grand View- you lucked out with these two!! Reviewed on 18-12-2023

Grand View is a top-notch wedding venue with a very inclusive package that made planning so much easier. Kelly was always SUPER responsive, accommodating, and amazing to work with despite our many, many questions. The venue's cocktail lounge and ballroom with fireplace are beautiful, even the bridal suite and bathrooms are beautifully decorated, and of course the outdoor space on the lake with the terrazza are the show-stoppers and there are so many areas around the property for photos. They accommodated our signature cocktails and their food was really good with many creative and seasonal options to pick from - in fact, their food tasting event was our favorite part of planning and they gifted each couple artwork! Their package included our cake, a full dining set-up, linens with many fabric and color options, printed name cards, votive candles, table numbers, sign stands, and more, and they were completely flexible to arrange the spaces and decorate how we wanted. They hosted a great rehearsal, and our coordinator even came to our dinner when I forgot something at the venue! They decorated everything perfectly and were very attentive to us during the wedding - they even made sure to come up to our sweetheart table to wish us a wonderful first dinner as newlyweds! The only slight con was that they've had some recent turnover, so our day-of coordinator changed 4 times. For us, it was early in our planning so it didn't have much of an impact when it really mattered towards the end. But does make me wonder what's going on and whether the timing was more impactful for other couples. Reviewed on 03-12-2023

Grand View was a perfect wedding venue for us. Not only was it a beautiful location, but the staff made it so easy for us. Gina and Tatiana were wonderful to work with. My GIRL Meredith was the sweetest human to have by my side the whole day, making sure I drank water and actually had some of the amazing food we picked out! Everyone was so professional, and the space was unforgettable. It was truly a dream venue, and I cannot recommend it enough. Reviewed on 02-12-2023

My husband and I had the most magical day of our lives, thanks to Tatiana and the rest of the incredible staff at Grand View! We are still blown away with how fantastic and gorgeous everything was. Tatiana was our coordinator, she was incredible! She was helpful with anything and everything we needed, and when we could not decide on something, she offered professional suggestions to any questions or advice we were looking for. She was quick to respond to any emails I sent and made me feel so comfortable leading up to the big day. Tatiana handled all things schedule/timeline, setup and breakdown of all our decor, favors, etc, and reached out to our vendors to coordinate load in time, setup, and to accommodate dietary restrictions for each of them. The timeline Tatiana provided was extremely detailed, and was helpful for us to get an idea of what to expect for the day. Tatiana was there to answer any questions I had or offer help throughout the evening. My mom was working on my bustle and Tatiana came over and helped her to make the process faster. We wanted our outdoor flower urns repurposed inside, and she grabbed them and carried them inside. She was incredible!The tasting was extremely helpful to narrow down meal choices from the large selection that is offered. I was so happy with everything I ate on the night of the wedding. The food really was incredible and there was a ton of it. During cocktail hour, Tatiana made sure we got drinks that we wanted and had the team bring us a tray of passed apps. If we wanted more, they would have gotten us more. Grand View also covers the cake if desired. We did a tasting with Gerardos, picked our flavors and the design we wanted, and told them our wedding date and guest count, and that it was at Grand View. I really have no idea what happened from then on, but somehow the cake was there, looking perfect. A week or two before the wedding, I emailed Tatiana in a panic asking if I was supposed to buy a cake stand and she told me not to worry, they have some we could use. On the day of the rehearsal, we dropped off all the decor and “extras” (blankets, favors, etc). On the day of the wedding, it was all perfectly set up. The Grand View team even makes place cards for each guest. We also opted to use the table numbers and votives that Grand View provides to accompany our decor. Throughout the night, the Grand View team was quietly collecting things that were no longer needed and by the time my husband and I were ready to leave, our cars were packed and we just had to grab our personal belongings and hop in. Not once did I notice something missing or feel like they were picking up too soon/rushing us out which I was worried about. We really didn't have to do anything.One constructive note for future brides, I wish they allowed us to arrive a bit earlier for our first look. We were allowed to arrive at 2pm for a 3:30pm ceremony, with guests arriving at 3pm. This means that we had from 2-3pm for the first look but I needed time to get my dress on and to get ourselves organized once we arrived. We definitely could have used an extra 30/45 minutes, and I would suggest future brides push for this. This was the only part of the day that I felt rushed. The venue is stunning, the staff is incredible, the food is fantastic. I can’t recommend them enough and can't wait to hold a milestone anniversary party here in the future :) Reviewed on 29-11-2023

The Grand View was absolutely incredible and made our wedding perfect! I could write a book about how great the venue and staff are. We had several changes to our coordinator in the months leading up to our wedding, but each person was amazing and they all took such good notes that each transition was seamless. Our final coordinator Erin was incredible. She was flexible and responsive to all our questions and she also offered us great advice when we weren’t sure about table placement or what order speeches/dances should go. She is fantastic!The venue is just as beautiful in person as it is in photos. In addition to our own centerpieces and decorations, they also go the extra mile by offering some decor of their own - they hang string lights outside and have their own table numbers if you don’t want to provide your own. It is so helpful and can let you save a bit on decor.The food here is amazing! We also couldn’t believe how much food we were able to provide our guests and it was all so delicious! The staff also makes sure you as the couple are getting enough to eat and drink throughout the night which was so thoughtful!I cannot say enough good things about this place. The fact that so much is included made planning so easy and it was such a beautiful day! We love the Grand View!! Reviewed on 20-11-2023

Where do I even start!? I can’t put into words how grateful my husband and I are to have gotten married at the Grand View. To summarize our experience I would use one word- exceptional. The entire staff is top notch- highly professional and enthusiastic. They are truly a well oiled machine. The food is absolutely delicious and service is extremely prompt. The grounds are beautiful, as is the bar and ballroom. The venue is meticulously clean and even the bathrooms are stunning! Our guests raved saying this was the best wedding and venue that they have ever been to!!! Can’t recommend the Grand View enough for giving us the day of our dreams! And a huge thank you to our saving grace, Tatiana. Tatiana was our wedding coordinator, but she is so much more than that. She is so caring, helpful and genuinely lovely. She started working with us about a month out from our wedding due to a personnel change at the Grand View, and we could not have been more lucky to cross paths with Tatiana. She is so organized and was integral to the success of the day. She took care of setting up all of our decor (which turned out stunning) and even packed and labeled the decor at the end of the night in boxes. She followed us around with water during our first look and was always ensuring we were well fed and watered! My bustle came undone shortly after the ceremony and Tatiana came to the rescue to fix it. She is a star and we are so utterly grateful for her!! Reviewed on 13-11-2023

We had the most amazing experience with Grand View for our wedding in November. From the first tour, the staff was all welcoming and supportive through every question and planning step. Our coordinator, Tatiana, met with us whenever we had neurotic questions or panic moments. She responded to every email and eased every possible stress. As the bride, I felt perfectly calm on wedding day because of the preparation and organization of the Grand View. I would recommend them to anyone!

I do not know how I can even begin to describe how amazing Grand View was for our wedding. But let me start with this; we chose the venue for a variety of reasons, but one of the key selling factors was the absolutely breathtaking views over the water for the ceremony. Well we had the unfortunate circumstance that nobody wants to be in....it rained on our wedding day. The ceremony had to be moved inside; and let me tell you, it didn't even matter. The indoor ceremony was just as beautiful. The staff from the planners to the servers were polite, professional, and enthusiastic. We could not have asked for better service from the day we booked the venue to the end of our wedding night. Not only were they incredibly attentive, they somehow managed to do this so discretely the guests and us hardly knew they were there! That is until we needed something; then without even needing to ask, they were attending to our every need. We truly cannot think of a single issue or drawback with Grand View, and cannot recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book Grand View for your big day; you absolutely will not regret it. Reviewed on 24-10-2023

Grand View was the very first venue we toured when we started looking at venues – we toured others after, but found ourselves comparing each one to what we first saw at Grand View, and finally had an “ah-ha” moment knowing we obviously had already found the perfect place to have our dream wedding! What truly made everything so easy for us is the unbelievable package they offer, which includes so many big components such as food, premium open bar throughout the entire night, custom wedding cake, event coordinator, bridal attendant, and SO MUCH MORE. This was a HUGE deciding factor, because it meant one less outside vendor we had to try and search for. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, which there was so much of. They provided 6 different passed apps during cocktail hour, a fruit & cheese display, salad course, second course, main course, dessert, and a coffee / tea station (YES, all of that is included in the package!). This is a one-event only venue which honestly makes all the difference in the world. Every part of the venue whether it be outdoors, indoors, our private bridal suite, and even the bathroom, had the perfect photo-opt. The pictures truly do not even do justice on how absolutely stunning the venue looks in person. My attendants were so good about checking in on me basically every minute to make sure I was okay, had what I needed, or for literally ANYTHING. Things can naturally get hectic when you’re being pulled in different directions and sticking to a timeline on the day of, but that’s why it’s so crucial to have people such as Kelly, Tatiana, and Meredith from the Grand View to make sure it all goes smoothly!

Diana Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-08-2022 I cannot possibly recommend the Grand View enough. We booked our wedding at the Grand View in 2019. We had to switch the date of our wedding multiple times due to COVID-19 and military obligations, and the Grand View was so flexible, accommodating, and encouraging every step of the way. (We had such a great experience planning with them, that I also ended up having my bridal shower at the Grand View in 2020. It was stunning, and the food was delicious.) After almost 3 years of planning and delays, we finally got to have our ceremony and celebration! Even down to the last minute, Gina was flexible and quick-thinking to enable us to have our ceremony outside. The venue is absolutely breathtaking from the grounds to the building itself. The food was so delicious and every person with an allergy or dietary preference was accommodated and well-fed! Our friends and family are still talking about the food and views! Wedding planning can be challenging, and life doesn’t stop when you get engaged. It is very important to find a venue and staff you can trust to make your vision happen and lessen your stress. The Grand View is that and so much more! I am so thankful we booked our wedding at the Grand View and so thankful to Gina and the staff there for giving us such a beautiful night!

She was so knowledgeable and mindful of everything, I’m genuinely unsure when she sleeps because she’s putting 110% in to helping the brides.When I gave her some attitude the morning of the wedding, she was still so nice and helpful, knowing that I was projecting - she gave me a get well soon card for my dog and the gesture really meant a lot to me.She went out of her way to make my day move flawlessly after we had to switch up the ceremony site due to the weather (and my hope for it to change lol)The venue was so gorgeous that I barely needed any decorations and my wedding looks phenomenal, I got raving reviews of the views, the food, the venue from every. single. guest.

Hannah Horner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-07-2021 My husband and I had our wedding at Grand View almost a year ago and our friends and family still rave to us about the beauty of the venue and the attentiveness of the staff to this day. When we were looking at venues, nothing compared to the feeling we got after visiting Grand View. From beginning to the end, Gina was on the ball with planning and helped make the process as stress free as possible. She always answered my questions in a timely manner and was so organized. Grand View is an absolutely beautiful location, but the service on top of that is what made it stand out to us. We have a lot of allergies in our families, but they were accommodated with meals that were safe for them to eat. The day of the wedding is typically stressful for most brides, but that was not the case for us because the team makes sure everything happens seamlessly and you are left to enjoy your day without worrying about anything else. My husband and I were busy walking around saying hello to guests when the meal was brought out, but the team was so attentive to our needs. They were constantly making sure we had enough water and made sure our meal was brought out fresh to us once we were done greeting our guests. They also kept everything on track time wise so we didn’t have to worry at all. Another thing that really stood out to us is that they cared for our wedding party as well. Appetizers were available to us throughout our pictures and the staff even made sure that our ring bearer, who was getting tired and hungry, was immediately given a snack upon his arrival. The “little things” like that along with the obvious perks such as the stunning location really made Grand View the best venue and a clear choice for us. I cannot recommend it enough!

The large parking area, private lake side location and elegant scenery really holds true to its name. Gina, the event coordinator, is a saint for answering my numerous emails leading up to our wedding day. Both Gina and Kelly were coordinators for our rehearsal and wedding day. Their experience and professionalism are evident after helping us work through some last minute hiccups. I’d also like to acknowledge the chef and servers who were fantastic.

Hillary Parsons(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2022 I don't even know where to start here because there are too many amazing things to say!! My husband and I started looking at venues right after getting engaged, and Grand View was actually the first one we saw. I fell in love literally on the spot, but we wanted to do our due diligence so we kept looking at a few other venues. NONE of them could hold a candle to Grand View. The space is truly GORGEOUS - with the option for 2 different outdoor ceremony spaces, an outdoor or indoor cocktail hour, and a great indoor ballroom space for the dinner/reception. Danielle was wonderful when we met with her initially - giving us a tour & helping us eventually sign the contract. At that point we were introduced to Gina, who was our main point of contact for the rest of our time working with Grand View. Gina was truly amazing - I am very \"Type-A,\" but I've also never been in a wedding before until my own (!!), so I had a million questions along the way. She answered every single email in such a timely manner and was so, so helpful throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding can be STRESSFUL, but having the most organized and helpful team behind you at your venue can alleviate so much of that stress. We actually did not hire a wedding planner, and I don't regret that decision at all because of how \"on it\" Gina & the team at Grand View were. The day of the wedding was truly a dream - I did not feel an ounce of stress because I knew Gina & her team were handling everything behind the scenes. I even had a personal Bridal Attendant, Tatiana, who was WONDERFUL - she was on top of my every need, but was also just so funny and kind and the best presence to have by my side that night! I know this is a million words - but I hope this helps any future brides looking for a venue to know that they will be in the best possible hands at Grand View!

From there Gina took over and she was absolutely amazing!! I can’t commend her enough. You don’t have to say much for her to understand what you are envisioning for your special day. I had so many questions and concerns during the whole process, she always responded in a timely manner and never made me feel as if I was bothering her. ( if they don’t respond on the weekend it’s because they are giving all their attention to other bride/grooms on their big day). The food by chef Linda was amazing!

From the champagne wall, to the flow of decor in the cocktail room, to the beautiful bridal suite we could not have asked for more. The waitstaff and bar team were absolutely top notch! They made sure the drinks were flowing for our rowdy crowd and were on top of everything. Our bridal attendant Chris was AMAZING! She truly thought of everything and before we would even ask for something, she was there with whatever it was in hand, I swear she is incredible. She made sure we tried all of the food and that our drinks were taken care of at all times, she is a sweetheart! We truly cannot thank the Grand View enough! The team they have works together like family and it definitely came through. They 100% without a doubt always put the client first! Your special day is just as special to them as it is to you and they will do whatever it takes to create that for you. If you are wedding venue shopping and want to have the most beautiful day, as stress free as possible, stop your search here. The Grand View is the place to be. We truly cannot thank the team enough!

Meghan Reid(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-04-2021 Grand View was the perfect place for our wedding! It was the first place we visited and nothing else compared to the beautiful patios, lake view, and gorgeous chandeliers in the ballroom. We chose Grand View for the breath-taking outside, but it snowed the day of our wedding. Our guests commented on how beautiful the inside was, they had no idea it was the backup plan! The food was spectacular. The staff were friendly, outgoing, and shared awesome stories of their own wedding days.Gina, the wedding coordinator, went above and beyond! Officiant and groomsman catching COVID 4 days before the wedding? Gina answered the call at 730 am. Snow and 40 mph winds in April? No problem. We battled constantly changing covid rules but Gina made sure that I never felt like a ‘COVID bride’. Gina always answered my frantic text, calls, and emails the same day (typically within 2 hours!!). I 100% recommend Grand View! Reviewed on 01-06-2021
Kimberly Romanello(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2020 We fell in love with GV at our first visit, and it only got better from there! Grand View itself is a gorgeous venue. The views of the lake would be hard to find any where else in central Massachusetts, and the amazing grounds and architecture of the venue itself, are incredible. I don't think we can put into words how amazing Gina at Grand View is. She not only helped us navigate postponing our wedding, but she did so with our best interests in mind. She cares about every couple that walks through GV's doors and it shows in every detail that she ensures is executed perfectly! Chef Linda's food is incredible and she was so accommodating with my pickiness (on top of food allergies!). While our wedding was smaller than we had originally planned for, the day was executed flawlessly and all of our guests felt safe with GV's COVID protocols in place. We cannot wait to plan our 5-year anniversary 'rager' at Grand View so that we can be back in the incredible space. GV is a hidden gem in Massachusetts and I will be singing Gina and the staff's praises to anyone who listens!

Gina was flexible, sympathetic, and wonderful to work with; she helped us postpone our party while still safely celebrating this year with just our immediate family. We left every conversation with her feeling comforted and optimistic, which was so appreciated during this extraordinarily stressful time.

Ashley and Gina were extremely attentive throughout the process answering text messages, phone calls, and emails promptly. Ashley was extremely patient in the payment process as we had help from multiple different people making the payments pretty choppy. The day itself was perfect. They placed all the decor nicely for me making the day itself so easy. It was 110 degrees on our wedding day and the staff was accommodating to make us feel as comfortable as possible. We can’t thank them enough! The food was absolutely delicious and the guests seemed satisfied as well. The only complaint I have is that the bar is in the lobby area so at times the dance floor was a little empty. I wish there was a smaller bar area inside the reception area.

Jolyn Wiggin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2019 My husband and I got married at the Grand View on October 12, 2019... the entire experience was amazing. When we were looking for venues, Grand View was the 2nd venue we looked at, we had 4 other venues to look at that weekend. As soon as we got to the venue, it spoke for itself... it was exactly what we were looking for and we cancelled our remaining tours. The venue is located on a beautiful lake, secluded (they only do one wedding a day), have a beautiful house you can rent for your friends/family, 2 stunning ceremony options (we chose the Bella Vista) and stunning reception ballroom. The entire Grand View team is amazing... they all talk to each other so it's seamless to talk multiple people. Some of the amazing people we worked with were Laura, Ashley, Gina, Linda (chef) and Felix. We did our food tasting with Linda who was amazing. She is beyond talented and her presentations are beautiful. She makes amazing dishes and she even made sushi for us! People have been raving about our food from the delicious entrees, sushi, chowder, late night snacks and salads. She also makes amazing chocolate covered strawberries with peppermint flakes... for someone that loves food... Linda makes the best! She accommodated the allergies, made great portions and food was cooked perfectly. Gina... she was our day of coordinator... she is a saint and is the absolute best at her job. She communicates quickly, explains everything, thinks of everything, and makes the couples feel like they're talking to friends. She is casual yet professional, her patience and attention to detail is amazing. She was organized, dotted every I and crossed every T, my wedding ran so smoothly. Everybody was amazed with how smoothly the wedding went, how she coordinated everything and how friendly she was with all the guests. As soon as I spoke to Gina, I knew my wedding would go flawlessly and I wouldn't have to worry about a thing... and she didn't disappoint! The rest of the staff was amazing, Felix coordinated the chalet as well things inside the ceremony... everything was perfect. We also had a lady who took care of just my husband and I during the wedding and she was so sweet. She made sure we had food in our suite, plenty of drinks and anything else we needed. I can not say enough good things about Grand View staff, venue appearance and food... I highly recommend the Grand View for a wedding. Reviewed on 17-11-2019

When we toured the venue I knew right away that it was the perfect setting for our perfect day. The planning process was seamless, even though the venue was sold to new owners during the year between when we booked and when we had our event. The transition didn’t affect us at all and everything went off exactly as described. Ashley has such a handle on everything, she’s absolutely incredible. I am not the best at describing what I was envisioning so I honestly felt bad for Gina, who was tasked with executing it all. When I walked into the ballroom for the first time I was brought to tears. It’s the most magical, indescribable feeling when you see it all come together and Gina did it better than I could have ever imagined. She truly is the absolute best at what she does. We’ve received so many compliments on the beautiful setting, the delicious food, and the impeccable service. I wish I could remember the name of the woman who served dinner to my husband and I, she was so kind and so sweet!

All of our questions were always answered, she was our sounding board for ideas, and made the entire process go so very smoothly. Leading up to the few weeks before our wedding, Danielle and Gina were the dynamic duo- the best team we could have asked for. So personal, so helpful, and so easy! The day of our wedding was truly a dream. Our bridal suite was gorgeous- topped with cheese, crackers and champagne. My husband and his groomsmen and our fathers got ready at the Chalet (what an amazing option to have!), and it was the perfect set up prior to our ceremony. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful fall day where we could do our ceremony outside. The day was a bit chilly but being outside trumped all else because of the stunning grounds. None of our guests said one thing about the weather- only how our venue looked truly like it was something out of a movie. The staff were unbelievably helpful and didn’t stop all night long. We even had our very own personal server for the whole evening- didn’t have to worry about a thing! And the best part was each and every staff member had a huge smile on their face the whole night and were more than happy to assist in anything we needed, all with the utmost professionalism. ALL of our guests raved about the food. Could not believe how delicious it was and that it all came out together and still hot- and we had 215 guests!

Laura made planning the event the easiest thing in the world. She has lots of great ideas and definitely put extra effort into keeping things before, during, and after the event flawless. The venue itself is beautiful and welcoming with awesome outdoor spaces for relaxation and photographs. The food was amazing and the choices were plentiful, this was key because we had every dietary situation you could image…vegetarian, vegan, allergies….you name it. Our every need was accommodated without question. Another huge plus, our package included a cake from Gerado’s bakery, which is my favorite bakery, and it was fantastic. Also, the entire wedding party had the pleasure of staying on the property at The Chalet the night of our wedding. The home is beautiful and convenient after a long night on the dance floor. Felix welcomed us into the house before the wedding and was very accommodating showing us everything we should know. Honestly, I could go on forever about how pleased we were with Grand View, so I’ll just say that if you are “venue shopping” for an event…don’t waste your time anywhere else, just call Laura at Grand View and start planning your unforgettable event!

The venue, food and everything was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend it to anyone.Thank you Grand View. Reviewed on 31-08-2017
Anne Marie Creighton(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2017 Grand View was an absolutely perfect place for our Wedding reception! It was the first venue we looked at and we knew it was where we were going to have our reception right when we looked at it. We worked with both Sharon and Ashley and they made sure every detail and moment was perfect! They answered every question I had without hesitation and took care of everything the day of. Leah was also our day coordinator and she stuck with us the entire night to make sure we had a perfect time, which we did!! The venue is gorgeous and the grounds were perfect for our First Look and Formal pictures. The only thing that we were disappointed about was that they forgot to put out our Wedding favors until the very end of the wedding when majority of our guests left, so not many quests received favors. But, other than that the reception and working with Sharon and Ashley up to the reception was perfect and flawless! They certainly made it a day we will never ever forget and provided us with an amazing experience! Reviewed on 27-06-2017

6/21/2017We held our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception at Grand View on June 18, 2017. It's a beautiful venue both inside and out, and the setting on Nipmuc Lake will make the wedding photos very special. We worked with Ashley, who was not only very responsive in the planning process, but handled any of our concerns extremely well and professionally. We received many compliments from our guests on the food (which was wonderful!), and would definitely recommend Grand View. Reviewed on 21-06-2017
Robin Kenoian(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-12-2017 This is a beautiful venue with everything you could ask for. Sharon the co-ordinator was spot on, she covered every detail. Everyone was happy. We had the chalet for the after party and it was perfect. Just a beautiful location. I want to thank everyone their from Sharon to the valet to the coatroom girls. Very professional. Reviewed on 23-10-2016

This venue is a must see! This is a historical building that has just gone through a major transformation. The gorgeous view of the water, the beautiful interior, and an attentive staff that didn't miss a detail. There is a wonderful chalet on the grounds that can be rented as well~A unique idea for the bridal party and family for an overnight or a place to take photos too.We had our wedding reception here 33 years ago and it was so wonderful to see our son and new daughter-in-law have their special day here too.Made the trip to see what this place has to offer!

Amy Saball(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2016 My husband and I got married at the Grand View on 9/23/16 and it was more amazing than I could have imagined! When looking at potential venues during our engagement this one stood out to me not only because my new in-laws were married there many moons ago (when the venue looked drastically different!), but also because of it's beautiful view looking out over the water, and how gorgeous the entire place is, inside and out. We worked with Sharon as our wedding coordinator who helped us tailor our wedding package to ensure we were getting the most \"bang for our buck.\" One thing I did like about having our wedding here was the fact that there are different wedding packages the choose from that took the hassle out of pulling in vendors from all over. Sharon allowed us to tailor the package to suit our own needs and wants- for example, the package we chose (which was the most basic package and still included more than we needed) included a canoli station from Gerados. We decided we did not want to have this, and were able to cross it off and allocate whatever dollar amount that would have cost towards something else. In our case, we nixed many items and put the funds towards beautiful flowers from Katydid, which helped to keep overall cost down and really bring my vision to life.The inside of the venue really is so grand and has a 1920's Great Gatsby feel to it. It's so beautiful that there is little need to bring in additional decor, it truly speaks for itself.I have received so many compliments about how beautiful the wedding was. Sharon was on point and was super helpful along the way, especially day of. We rented the chalet the night before the wedding for myself and my ladies to stay at and get ready at the next day. The chalet itself is gorgeous, tucked behind autumn trees with awesome views of the lake. One recommendation I do have would be for the chalet to come a little more equipped with certain things. Given that most people stay there for just a night or two, it would be helpful to have some pots and pans, dish soap, wash clothes, and more towels (things you wouldn't necessarily think to bring). Also wifi would be a helpful, great addition. Overall, I'm giving Grand View 5 stars because I don't think there is any reason not to when they surpassed my expectations! :) Reviewed on 12-10-2016
Alicia Trudeau(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2016 Kevin and I got married at Grand View on September 10, 2016. The day was nothing short of amazing! We cannot say enough good things about Sharon- the main wedding coordinator. She was so on top of her game and made the day run so smoothly. Besides our normal nervous jitters, she made us feel at ease and kept the night running without a hitch! The grounds at Grand View are impeccable. We would stop by every once in a while to see how the renovations were coming along. They did a beautiful job updating everything. We received numerous compliments from our guests saying that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Thank you to Grand View, Sharon, her wonderful staff and the owner for allowing us to host our wedding at your beautiful venue. We will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a place to get married. Reviewed on 28-09-2016
michael Guterez(wedding party)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2017 I attended a wedding here at the Grand View 2 weeks ago., The place is beautiful i'll give it that but on the other hand the food was less than desirable.The pale slab of chicken breast with some sort of sauce was tasteless cardboard.The rest of the fare was no better. chicken i would say should be cooked and....not to leave this out, the chicken entree was chosen to be roasted!If you carefully plan out your wedding and pay big $$$$ details should be correct.I wouldn't recommend this venue to anyone and i wont be planning mine here.The view might be Grand but the food was not.Things people always remember arebeautiful bride, place and food.Thats why i gave it a 2 star or else it would be a 1 star Reviewed on 19-09-2016
Kristi Maguire(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2016 We loved everything about Grand View! Beautiful view, delicious food and wonderful staff! Sharon was absolutely wonderful to work with! I'm a bit of a control freak, but Sharon put me at ease by answering all my many questions. On our wedding day everything went smooth. When my busel came undone Sharon was right there with safety pins. Majority of our guest had previously been to a function at Grand View and couldn't believe it was the same place after the renovations. Two months later and everyone is still talking about how beautiful it was! All the women ended up doing a photo shoot in the bathroom and loved they could still watch everything happening on the dance floor. Reviewed on 15-09-2016
