Cascade Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Cascade in Hamden, Connecticut is a classic grand ballroom wedding: soaring ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a balcony and two staircases made for a grand entrance. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed 5+ weddings at Cascade, and we're proud to be a preferred photographer there.
Crystal chandeliers and a grand staircase
The 3,800-square-foot Grand Ballroom hosts weddings of 150 to 400 guests, with the kitchen and service handled by Cascade's own team. Austrian crystal chandeliers hang over the dance floor, and the twin staircases bring the wedding party straight down into the room. A separate garden room is available for smaller events and cocktail hours.
The Cascade team has been hosting big Connecticut weddings for years, and it shows in how smoothly a 300-guest night runs.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
Best photo spots at Cascade
The grand staircase
Twin staircases lead down into the ballroom. Jeffrey + Bianca came down together to a room full of guests waving their napkins in the air.
The ballroom
Crystal chandeliers, soft drapes and warm light. Bianca danced with her dad right in the middle of the floor.
The cake table
Set against white drapes, the cake cutting gets its own quiet moment before the party picks up.
The dance floor
The floor fills fast and stays full, with the chandeliers glowing overhead all night.
The front entrance
The white facade and the Cascade name over the doors make a classic arrival photo.
The balcony
A view down over the whole ballroom, the best angle for the room at full swing.
