Grand View Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Grand View in Mendon pairs a glowing ballroom with gardens, pathways and a lake for portraits. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed 5+ weddings at Grand View since 2022, and we're proud to be a preferred photo, video and photo booth vendor there.
A chandeliered ballroom on Lake Nipmuc
Grand View describes a nine-acre, single-event property on a quiet cove of Lake Nipmuc, with a 5,000-square-foot ballroom (crystal chandeliers, a hardwood dance floor, a grand fireplace and panoramic lake views) for up to 250 guests, and two lakeside ceremony sites, the Bella Vista and the Terraza. Some of our couples marry in their own churches before coming to Mendon for the reception. Our posts describe a grand ballroom "adorned with soft lighting and elegant décor," along with charming gardens, scenic pathways and golden hour overlooking the lake.
The Grand View team makes the reception feel warm and easy, and it shows in how relaxed our couples and their guests are on the dance floor.
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 Grand View
The ballroom
Crystal chandeliers, white walls and a big hardwood dance floor. Alex + Anna made their grand entrance here with every guest on their feet.
The colonnade
A white columned pergola on the lawn makes a classic frame for portraits, especially with a long veil catching the breeze.
The dance floor
Once the music starts, the floor fills fast. Alex + Anna's family showered them with bills during a traditional money dance.
The gardens and pathways
Stone paths and plantings around the property give variety close to the ballroom.
The lakeside ceremony sites
The Bella Vista and the Terraza sit by the water for couples who marry on site.
Golden hour by the lake
Late light over Lake Nipmuc is worth planning around; check sunset for your date.
