TL, DR: Crystal Lake Golf Club is the best wedding venue in New England, bar none. Trust me - we looked everywhere!
My now-husband's cousin got married at Crystal Lake Golf Club i...n 2019, and we fell in love with the place when we went to their wedding. Crystal Lake became the bar against which we measured every other venue we toured when it was our turn to plan a wedding. We looked at venues in MA, Maine, VT, CT, and elsewhere in RI, and nowhere else could match the beauty - or the value - of Crystal Lake. So many other venues had outrageous price minimums we had to hit and were nowhere near as gorgeous. Crystal Lake was hands down the most beautiful venue we saw, AND it was the most affordable by a long shot. After months of touring other venues, Crystal Lake turned out to be the slam-dunk all along, and that's where we got married on 7/29/2023.
Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but then our coordinator quit her job for family reasons just a few weeks before our wedding. Her replacement also left, and after they were gone, it was up to Teia Dunne and Kayla Ferenc to pick up the reins. I can't imagine the kind of stress they were under, but Teia and Kayla absolutely killed it. They are absolute superwomen, and they helped our wedding day run as smoothly as it possibly could have given the circumstances (and the crazy weather we had). I can't thank them enough for taking charge at the last minute and helping us have the wedding of our dreams. If they were able to pull together a flawless wedding in just a few weeks after the main coordinator left, just imagine how great your wedding will be if you're able to work with them throughout your whole engagement!
The food was delicious, the service was spectacular, and you cannot beat the natural beauty of this place. Our ceremony was outside in a gazebo by the lake, and a swan swam up to the ceremony site as we were reading our vows. It was so romantic and it was everything I ever hoped for.
The reception area (the Waterfront Room) is also beautiful! There are huge windows overlooking the lake, an outdoor patio that guests can hang out on during cocktail hour, and they decorate the ceiling with tulle and string lights for a cozy, rustic vibe inside. Our DJ went absolutely rogue and had everyone dancing all night in this gorgeous space. It was such a blast, and I'll be thinking about it forever.
All in all, if you've been tearing your hair out trying to find a gorgeous venue that won't destroy your wallet, you can stop right now. You've found it. You will not find a better venue for the price in all of New England, and with Teia and Kayla to help you out, your wedding will be everything you've ever hoped for. I can't thank the Crystal Lake staff enough for everything they did for us. This place is truly magical. Thank you, Teia and Kayla and everyone, for everything.
