If you're dreaming of a wedding where everything feels effortless and magical, Grand View is the place to be. We looked at many different wedding venues (even crazy expensive ones in Newport RI) but nothing quite matched what we found at Grand View. From the moment we arrived, the stunning waterfront views and elegant spaces took our breath away. But what truly made our day unforgettable were the incredible people behind the scenes.
Tatiana, our wedding coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was not only organized and detail-oriented but also warm, approachable, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. From our very first meeting, she listened attentively to our ideas and helped bring them to life. She provided us with a detailed timeline, coordinated with our vendors, and ensured every aspect of the day was executed flawlessly. On the big day, Tatiana was everywhere—helping bustle my dress, arranging flowers, helping guests, and even making sure we had a moment to ourselves amidst the whirlwind. Her calm presence and expert guidance allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment.
McKenna, our bridal attendant, was a ray of sunshine. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and kept everything running smoothly. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel like royalty. She even helped to sew my friends dress that ripped!
The entire Grand View team went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. From the delicious food to the impeccable service, every aspect exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still raving about the experience.
If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, exceptional service, amazing food, and a team that truly cares, look no further than Grand View. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and we owe it all to this amazing venue and its staff!!

My husband and I recently got married at the Grand View in Mendon, MA. We were budget conscious but looking for a venue that would do it all for us. We looked near and far and were blown away by GV. The venue is absolutely stunning, ON the water, a legitimate grand view, and their packages are all inclusive (apps, food, drinks, dessert). Also I am gluten free and had severe celiacs and they take allergies VERY seriously. The food was spectacular and my now husband and I had a difficult time choosing what to serve because everything was delicious. People are still talking about the food! Also we added on a gelato cart (major hit!!) and had Gerardo’s pastries instead of cake (included in GV’s price). They have a stunning bridal suite and we also opted to do the first look - SO thrilled we did. We got most of our bridal photos, and all of the bridal party/family photos done before the ceremony. My family was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the day!
Also, as much as we wanted to have the wedding ceremony outside, make sure your venue has a rain plan that you can be excited about. We were lucky to get to take our pictures outside but had to move the ceremony indoors and it was magical. There’s a stunning fireplace and it looked like it was the plan all along 🙂

Our wedding coordinator Tatiana was great to work with! From the initial planning stages to the big day, she was organized, attentive to detail and always kept us calm and focused. Tatiana, the Grand View staff and Chef allowed us to truly enjoy our special day without a single worry. The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond. The food was delicious, the drinks flowed freely and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting and wonderful experience. Grand View was absolutely magical. The stunning outdoor ceremony space with breathtaking views, coupled with the reception hall created the perfect backdrop for our special day! We would highly recommend Grand View to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue!

We had our wedding at the GrandView on November 30, 2024. It was the first venue we toured when we got engaged in December of 2023. We immediately loved the location, and how easy it was to work with Erin. She answered all of our questions and made choosing her and the venue an easy part of our journey. She was always reachable, many times responding to our emails off hours and quickly. She was able to provide the detailed answers we were looking for, and provided us with even more info than we knew we needed. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted to get married in 2024, and on a Saturday, but recognized that the less than a year time limit may make it challenging to have what we both dreamed of. Erin and the GrandView didn’t let that get in the way. We really wanted an outdoor ceremony and they made that happen. They had hot cider for guests and the wedding party, and also stood outside in the cold to make sure the day went off without a hitch. They also made sure the blankets we purchased got folded and put in the baskets with a sign that hadn’t come in time when we dropped off our decor to the venue days earlier. They placed all of our decor perfectly, including the last minute additions, and it was exactly as we thought it should be the day of the wedding. The GrandView was also the only venue we looked at that offered both the wedding planner and bridal attendant. The bridal attendant was AWESOME!! She helped bustle my dress, had safety pins in her pocket during the first look, and made sure we had every appetizer we wanted. Both the bridal attendant and Erin were there every time we needed them. Erin immediately covered me in a jacket after our chilly ceremony, and ran up to the bridal suite to get my second shoes when my feet hurt while taking pix. I couldn’t have imagined a better group of people to support us during our big day. THANK YOU to Erin, and all of the GrandView staff for making our day everything we dreamed ❤️

My husband and I got married at this incredible venue on Nov. 10th, 2024. WHAT A DREAM! We could not have asked for a more perfect venue. From our first email to them to the day of our wedding and even weeks after, they were by our side and very responsive. We worked with Erin Dean who is absolutely OUTSTANDING! She made us feel so comfortable and was so prompt when answering our emails. She always steered us in the right direction when it came to wanting her honest opinion on vendors and fine details. Everything she did was so precise and organized, and she made the entire process stress free. The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing, she was always one step ahead of us making sure everything was perfect. You can tell she is very invested in her profession, and it was a pleasure to work with her. Thank you again so much, Erin!
Grand View itself is absolute stunning. Whether you are planning to have your ceremony inside or outside, you cannot go wrong with either option. The landscaping, the architecture, the ballroom, the waterfront, the little beach, even the bathrooms are gorgeous. The food is to die for! The hardest part about working with Grand View was that the food was so good it made choosing the menu difficult because we wanted everything they had to offer! The chef was also very accommodating to dietary restrictions. The bartenders were top notch, and the cocktails were made perfectly. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful of a wedding it was and how amazing the food was. I could go on and on about Grand View and their staff.
I would highly recommend looking into hosting your wedding or any event at Grand View, you cannot go wrong with this venue!
Thank you again to the entire staff at Grand View for making our wedding such a dream come true!!

Everyone during our planning experience and the wedding itself were absolutely amazing. Our coordinator did change a few times during the 1.5 yrs of planning, but it was so smooth and everyone was great so it was totally fine! They’re very responsive and efficient with their responses. Always available for questions. The food is amazing.
They made the wedding day go so smooth and perfect, if there were any issues my husband and I have no idea! Their team the day of is on top of everything, so so nice and helpful. They knew everything I’d need before I did! Absolutely perfect day.

My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was. Every detail was impeccable - and this was all brought to life through the venue, our vendors, and our phenomenal coordinator, Tatiana. Grand View exceeded EVERY expectation we had. Our wedding was nothing short of a dream. Grand View staff have been incredibly (and promptly) responsive since day 1 and made the wedding planning process beyond enjoyable. The team at Grand View were so attentive to the detail of our decor - our dream wedding was brought to life through the efforts of the staff. The communication leading up to the wedding was incredibly helpful and frequent - and day of communication was handled so efficiently. Any question I had was always promptly answered (and honestly any request always was in our favor - though I will note they were all reasonable!) The most beautiful venue we could have found in Massachusetts - guests could not get over how stunning the architecture and views were. And we certainly lucked out to a 72 and sunny day on November 1st!
10/10 would recommend Grand View!!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Grand View and our coordinator, Erin Dean! We had our wedding on 10/20/2024, and not only did we have spectacular 70-degree weather in October with beautiful foliage, but we also had the incredible staff at Grand View to make our day truly special.
From the very first meeting, Grand View made us feel at ease and was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Our initial contact was through TheKnot with the general manager, Kelly. When we toured the venue, the view was absolutely breathtaking! The wedding package they offered was incredibly reasonable and included far more than any other venue we had toured—open bar, hors d'oeuvres, free linens, cake, and free parking. Who could beat that?
Once we signed the contract, communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Emails were answered quickly, and any special requests or changes were handled with great care and professionalism.
The venue itself is stunning, offering a variety of beautiful settings for both the ceremony and reception. However, what truly set it apart was the exceptional level of service. It felt like nothing was too much trouble for the team, and their dedication to making our day perfect made all the difference.
As someone with a background in event planning and design, we had a fairly complicated vision for our centerpieces and overall décor. I had intricate designs and a very specific aesthetic in mind. I was a bit nervous about whether everything would come together, but Erin and the team at Grand View went above and beyond to make it all happen! They were incredibly accommodating and flexible in executing our ideas, and it was clear they genuinely wanted to bring our vision to life. They worked closely with us to ensure every detail was perfect, and when I saw the final result, I was absolutely thrilled!
At the end of the night, the team even packed everything up for us in one car, making the process so much easier. All we had to do was drive away.
I am eternally grateful to Erin and the Grand View team for making our wedding day exactly as we had dreamed—and even better! I had a large wedding party, and the rehearsal the day before was so well coordinated with Erin. McKenna, our day-of attendant, was incredibly patient, attentive, and warm, which truly put me at ease throughout the entire day.
I strongly recommend booking Grand View as a wedding venue—you won’t regret it!

Everyone was so attentive to my husband and I through the day and I was so grateful for the entire experience.

We got married here in August and had the greatest day and also year of planning with Tatiana and her team. She was with us every step of the way, answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly and made us feel so comfortable with the planning process. Especially on our day, with the weather not being what we planned - we still had the best time and so did all of our guests! Everyone is still telling us how much fun they had and how impressed they were with the venue in every way. Could not recommend more, especially if you’re working with Tatiana - she is the best!

Our wedding at Grand View was absolutely incredible and an amazing experience. The venue itself is stunning and the wedding package a good deal. From the elegant interior and the picturesque outdoor space by the water, it was everything we had hoped for and more despite the light rain showers during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our venue coordinator Tatiana and the staff were fantastic and helped really make our day special. Tatiana was thoughtful, super resourceful, and always on top of things. From our first meeting to the big day she made everything run as smoothly as possible, helped us navigate through the planning with ease and offered creative solutions to challenges we had. Tatiana and the team genuine care and attentiveness made us feel completely at ease and allowed us to truly enjoy the moment even with all the unexpected hurdles and time delay we faced that day. I highly recommend Grand View and even more with Tatiana in your team. It was a truly unforgettable beautiful experience.

The first thing I want to say is Grand View is a well-oiled machine. Excellent communication with the staff from the beginning of our journey through the end of our reception. Erin Dean is phenomenal at what she does as an Event Specialist with Grand View. Our ceremony went perfectly as planned. The food, drinks, and service was excellent and everyone had a great time. Our Bridal Attendant, McKenna did a great job with making sure we were fed and always had a drink in hand. Several of our guests went out of their way to express that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Kudos to all at Grand View. Keep up the fine work.
Love,

The Grand View simply put is breathtaking. All of our 200 guests cannot stop talking about Grand View and have all said that they haven't seen a more gorgeous venue in Massachusetts. The grounds are incredibly gorgeous, the ballroom is huge allowing for a very spacious dance floor, and the bar area is beautiful and roomy. This venue is absolute perfection.
Caroline was our Day of Coordinator and she was AMAZING! Extremely responsive, approachable, friendly, warm and attentive. She was always willing to to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed leading up to the big day. I even had to come to her with some last minute change requests, and she was able to jump right in to make sure everything was taken care of!
Caroline and McKenna both were incredible on the day of my wedding. McKenna made sure the wedding party and me and my husband were taken care of the entire time! She was there to slip us appetizers between photoshoots and always made sure we had drinks in our hands. We couldn't have asked for a better team the day of and better staff!
The food was also extremely tasty and many of our guests are still raving about it. The drinks were really good as well!
If you're looking for a venue with amazing staff, gorgeous views, and awesome food, look no further. We'd have our wedding at the Grand View again and again!

First, we must say we had the most beautiful wedding at Grand View this past May! When it came to wedding planning, choosing the venue was our first task. We fell in love with the beautiful ceremony space outside and the “all-included” approach to the event. We began working with Kelly to plan our dream wedding and later worked with Tatiana as our coordinator.
The food was amazing! When you have guests talking about how good your food was at another person’s wedding, you know you did something right! We were not 100% thrilled following the initial tasting, but when we went back for a private tasting, we felt much more confident in our decisions. The sorbet was a personal favorite! They also had drinks ready for guests immediately following the ceremony. We lucked out and had a beautiful day and had our ceremony outside, but knowing we could decide the day of was super reassuring. Tatiana and her team had the day running smoothly and everything went as planned.
We are so appreciative of their attention to detail and helping to make our day so wonderful. Some big highlights for us include the spacious dance floor, flexibility in everything, especially with table sizes and layouts, assistance with timeline planning, and attention to all the small details. We really appreciated the help with finding other vendors and went with a florist they recommended (who was amazing), as well as extras like drapery and gelato. The servers were all super kind and friendly. They also handled the crazy questions and requests our moms threw at them with ease. We could go on and on with every detail because it was all so wonderful.
Grand View made it easy to have fun and relax, and we had the best day! Thank you!

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at GrandView in April 2024. Our choice of this venue was one of the best decisions that we ever made! The food was wonderful – I received comments from guests that the food was hot when it arrived at their table. It was a “wow” moment when they opened the doors to the dining room – the room was stunning. Our guests were so impressed by the ladies room that they took pictures in there – I’ll leave it to you to visit the venue to find out why. Another popular place for our guests to take pictures was in front of the champagne wall. Erin, our coordinator, ensured that the event went flawlessly – she was such a pleasure to work with! GrandView staff even packed up our car for us at the end of the night. You will know exactly how much the event will cost you when you sign the contract because the wedding cake, provided by an Italian bakery, and the open bar are included in the price provided. To quote many of our guests, the reception was “phenomenal”.

The wedding venue is one of the most (if not THE most) important vendor in the wedding planning process. When we toured Grand View (in the pouring rain!) last summer, it was instantly clear that having our wedding there was the easiest and best choice we’d make for our 4/27/24 wedding.
While the water views and beautifully designed interior of the building initially draw your eye, what’s more impressive about Grand View is the people that work there and the all-inclusive package that they offer. When touring other venues, my head was spinning about what to prioritize; adding an open bar, an additional appetizer, and passed drinks often came with up-charges that force a couple to predict what their guests will care about most and what they won’t miss if it’s not there. Grand View’s seamless process of offering ALL of those things (and more) in their price-per-head package took the stress out of planning and allowed us to have everything we wanted without feeling like we were missing out on anything “extra.”
We were lucky to work with Erin Dean for the entire planning process and on the day of our wedding. WOW! Erin is a detailed and thorough professional. Anytime we had a question, we’d reach out and Erin would get back to us in 24 hours or less with a detailed and thoughtful response. She was always willing to get on the phone or email to answer any question, big or small. Our final walkthrough was about a month prior to our wedding and covered every possible detail of our day, even the details we hadn’t considered! During the rehearsal walkthrough and on the wedding day, Erin was calm and confident and made us feel like Grand View had everything taken care of. She took the lead in setting up all of our decor exactly as we wanted without us having to lift a finger. She connected with all of our vendors and communicated with them day-of so that we didn’t have to think about anything. There has to be so much trust given to the wedding venue staff on the day of, and Erin is absolutely to credit for the day going as well as it did. Thank you, Erin!
We also were lucky to have Makenna as a bridal suite attendant. My bridesmaids couldn’t say enough about Makenna— she helped me and my girls with everything we needed on the day of the wedding, checked in on food and beverage needs, and was overall so fun to work with. Thank you, Makenna!
We had so many guests say that our wedding was the best wedding that they’ve ever attended. We can’t thank Grand View staff enough for making that possible. From our first tour to our wedding day, Grand View made us feel like a priority, helped us have the wedding of our dreams, and made all of our guests feel special and supported. We couldn’t imagine a better venue, and would recommend Grand View to anyone getting married.

I can not write enough amazing things about Grand view! This was the first and only venue my husband and I toured and we felt no need to keep searching! We initially met with Kelly who was absolutely fantastic and shared all of the amazing things about the wedding package with us. Tatiana was the event coordinator that worked with us throughout the majority of our planning process and she was professional, attentive, responsive, and so friendly to talk to! Melissa was my bridal attendant that day and she was so friendly as well! Everything ran so smoothly and my guests raved about the food and the venue the entire night! I can’t thank grand view and all of the staff enough for such an amazing night it truly was the best night ever!

My husband and I were married at Grand View on 3/23/24. We HIGHLY recommend the venue for three reasons. 1.) The staff is incredible and unmatched! Tatiana (our wedding coordinator) walked us through every step of the day and was in constant communication with us as questions came up throughout the planning. We shipped items to the venue and she was on top of it days leading up to the event. On the day of the wedding she was incredibly flexible about our rain plans as we hoped to get a chance to go outside. We were so lucky to get to work with her and she made it all happen. We could not have done it all without her! Sofia (our bridal attendant) was so great at anticipating needed items, even minutes before walking down the aisle! She was so attentive and flexible. 2.) The food! Chef was top notch. The food was talked about all night and she was incredibly attentive to our guests dietary restrictions leading up. We had a chance to speak to her at the event as well and cannot thank her enough for the phenomenal experience. 3.) The location is amazing! We were very hopeful to have the ceremony outside but due to the rain it was inside. Tatiana helped us have our indoor ceremony practiced as well as outside and let us decide the morning of. Folks raved about the indoor location and comfort in the dining and ceremony space. You would not even know you were in the same room! It was such a unique experience. Overall, we cannot thank the Grand View folks enough for their time and attention to our day. Thank you SO much!!

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.
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.

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!!!

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!!

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.

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.

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 :)

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!!

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!!

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! And I am going to because I want to go back as a guest! We couldn't be more grateful.

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.

If you’re on the hunt for a venue with amazing food, a stunning view, and fantastic staff, then Grand View is the BEST. Kelly was so attentive and responsive in her emails/phone calls and answered any and all of my questions. She made sure all of our details were perfect and exactly as I wanted. She crafted the perfect timeline to keep everything running smoothly to make sure everyone was having fun and was well-fed. Tatianna was our bridal attendant on the day of and she was amazing as well. She was there to fluff my dress, bring me anything I needed, and make sure that my husband and I actually ate/drank! You can tell that Kelly and Tatianna truly care about each one of their couples and want your experience to be absolutely perfect.
The food was AMAZING. I have severe food allergies and the chef was easily able to accommodate any of my needs. We had guests raving about how good their food was and how much there was to choose from. We are still hearing from guests that this was one of the BEST weddings they had ever been to and we have to agree!

Kelly, Meredith and team made this day possible. They were so incredible that I had 0 worries in the world that whole weekend! Kelly ran the show- she was superwoman! And Meredith- she never left our side and always made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Grand View was seriously a dream venue- the views, the staff, the FOOD, and everything in between exceeded all my expectations. If you are looking to have a stress free, beautiful wedding then this is the place. I never wanted to leave and can't wait to come back to visit to bring back all the amazing memories all over again. I think my husband and I were the happiest bride and groom in the world all because of Grand View!!!!

I have nothing but good things to say and all of my guests LOVED the venue. You guys are the best!

A huge thank you to Kelly and all the staff at Grand View for helping to create our magical wedding day. It was a true fairytale wedding. The staff did an excellent job of making sure that the ceremony and reception were well coordinated. Kelly made sure all of the details leading up to the wedding were taken care of. Tatiana, Caroline, and Sophia were extremely kind, helpful, and attentive and they made us feel like royalty. They are excellent in their roles and it was so fun to work with them. All of the members of the Grand View staff were always kind, professional, and responsive. Thank you to Kelly for answering a million questions throughout the wedding planning process and thank you for bearing with us through last-minute, unexpected changes.
Our guests were extremely impressed by the stunning scenery at the venue and we received outstanding feedback about the food and drinks. One of our guests (who is 90 years-old and has been to many weddings) told us it was the best wedding he has ever attended. We agree with him and we would highly recommend Grand View to any couple that is getting married!
