Crystal Mountain

From beginning to end Crystal Mountain met every expectation for our wedding weekend. They made the process easy and as a bride I was truly able to enjoy the process rather than stress over the planning. Our wedding was in August and still are getting compliments from guests about it being the best wedding they had ever been too. Highly recommend Crystal Mountain.

I can't even begin to say how beautiful our wedding day was, and how well it came together. There were a couple bumps along the way, but that's to be expected when planning such a large event. The Crystal Mountain staff was amazing when it came to helping us through these bumps, and keeping up with communication on a timely manner. Only suggestion I would make to those looking into booking here is to make sure that they stay on top of their guest for booking their lodging if they want to stay on site. Their hotel books quickly, and they don't do hotel blocks for weddings. Once again we are so glad that we chose Crystal Mountain for our wedding, and the mountain top view is absolutely breathtaking for a ceremony location! Not many people get to ride a chair lift up to a wedding!

Crystal Mountain was fabulous!! Molly was so great at answering questions in a timely manner long before our wedding and Erin was in constant communication with us for the two weeks before the wedding. Everything went so smoothly and the entire wedding was phenomenal! We did have rain on our wedding day and Erin handled it like a pro. The pavilion, mountain, and entire resort was beautiful. The food was excellent as well as the service. We would HIGHLY recommend Crystal for a wedding venue!

Crystal Mountain was an amazing venue! It was beautiful in early June and all of our guests had a wonderful time. The Art Park ceremony site is stunning and so private. The staff did a wonderful job supporting us and rolling with the punches, from planning through to the wedding weekend.

I would recommend Crystal Moutain to everyone! We had our Wedding Ceremony in the Northern Lights room and then a private dinner with our bridal party at the Thistle Pub afterward! It was truly magical and so special. The team at Crystal Mountain for facilitating events is awesome! They are so helpful with questions, concerns, and are very prompt in their responses. They are very communicative about how to make the process of planning with them easy and seamless. They made my day from first contact all the way to "I do" just wonderful! I'm so grateful to Crystal Mountain for the best day of my life!

Our wedding was amazing! We got married at the top of the Crystal Clipper, overlooking the resort. The ski lift ride was fun for everyone, and the view was spectacular with beautiful fall colors. The tent where our reception was held was transformed into a masterpiece! Despite the rain, everyone had lots of fun. Having the majority of our guests stay at the resort made the weekend extra special. The variety of places to stay was great and made it easy for our guests to enjoy the festivities! All of the Crystal Mountain staff were so nice and helpful the entire weekend. The event staff were great to work with for planning the entire year leading up to our wedding. Beyond our own experience, all of our guests raved about the venue and the experience of being at Crystal Mountain.

Molly was such a helpful first contact when beginning our inquiry for our wedding reception. She helped answer questions in a timely manner and helped me create a mountaintop cocktail hour, which had not previously been done before. Stephanie and Kaylyn were also very helpful from providing us with a tasting and helping answer my incessant emails. The day was absolutely perfect (minus the wind), and the guests raved about the chairlift ride and delicious food served. Crystal Mountain holds a special place in both mine and my husband's hearts and I am so thankful we were able to celebrate our wedding there!

While planning our wedding Molly at Crystal Mountain was absolutely amazing with the whole process! Kaylyn our Day of Coordinator there was amazing! My husband and I got married on the mountain top and our guests can't stop telling us how cool the whole experience was. I would definitely recommend looking into Crystal Mountain if you are looking for a unique/ fun venue for all your guests to enjoy!

While planning our northern Michigan wedding from California during the pandemic, we knew we'd have to take a risk by booking a venue without visiting it. We're SO glad we picked Crystal! They were absolute pros from beginning to end - completely clear and responsive during the planning process, kind and accommodating to all our guests' needs as the date got closer, and absolutely lovely on the day of, from the chair lift operators to the dinner servers and everyone in between. Best of all, when we finally visited Crystal we were super impressed by the whole resort. Comfy accommodations that our family and guests loved, tons of fun activities, and a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding at the top of the mountain! In the end, it was a fabulous experience for a totally reasonable cost. If you're on the fence - do it!

My wife and I had the most perfect wedding at Crystal Mountain! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful atop of the mountain. The views were immaculate. Our reception was easily the most fun we've ever had. The entire venue gave us our dream wedding. Lastly, a huge shoutout to Molly K., Kaylyn M., Stephanie G., and the rest of the Crystal Mountain staff. The inconsistent weather on our day gave everyone some stressful moments but the perseverance of this staff was fantastic and they provided us the wedding we've always wanted. Thank you to all!

I cannot recommend Crystal Mountain enough. They worked with us as we postponed our wedding due to covid and made sure every detail was perfect. The staff during the event were amazing and so much fun! We love you, Crystal!!!

I am so glad I had my wedding at Crystal Mountain, not only for the beautiful location (Northern Michigan is charming), but also because of the professionalism and diligence of the wedding team at the resort. Even before we signed a contract, the staff at Crystal Mountain were always available to answer any calls or emails with the thousands of questions I had about wedding planning. They never got fed up with me, but were always extremely kind and helpful. In addition, the resort communicated very well within their departments (food, coordinator, set-up) so that everything was exactly how I wanted it to be for the wedding day (this took a lot of stress off of me for the wedding day because I knew I could trust the wedding team to get everything done while I was getting married). Since I was planning the wedding by myself (no other family helped me), I appreciated the help of the Resort staff. Overall, the food was delicious, the event spaces were beautiful, and the people were friendly!

My husband and I got married at Crystal Mountain last month and it was perfect! The resort itself is beautiful and we were so happy to have our guests spend the weekend at such an enjoyable place. Working with Stephanie and Molly was great. They were very helpful and were always accommodating to our many requests. The wedding day itself went incredibly smooth and all of our guests complimented the food and service that was given. All of the staff were extremely friendly and made sure that our experience was perfect. The food is the best food I've ever had at a wedding and they have so many options. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to anyone looking for a beautiful northern Michigan wedding destination!

Crystal Mountain is one of the best venues for a Northern Michigan wedding! My husband and I had our wedding ceremony on top of the ski mountain at Crystal Mountain, and let me tell you that it makes for a truly unique and unforgettable experience; not only for you as the couple but also for your guests. You get to see for miles above the Benzie River Valley, and look over some gorgeous scenery while professing your love and commitment to one another. We were also so pleased with how our venue coordinators helped us coordinate everything (food and drink menu, reception layout, rehearsal dinner, welcome bags, etc.) before and during the event which allowed for my husband and I to just enjoy the day with little stress. I cannot recommend this venue enough and hopefully you decide to choose Crystal Mountain for your wedding as well!

Our wedding at Crystal mountain was PERFECT. They know how to manage weddings and worked with us on bringing our wedding dreams to life. We created a wedding weekend experience from a welcome reception on Friday, wedding on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday - all at the resort so we could walk everywhere! I had zero stress in knowing that they could handle everything and it was truly amazing!!

Crystal Mountain is a well oiled machine. The wait staff for our wedding were all incredibly nice to all of our guests. Each person on the resort was eager to help and were very welcoming. Our wedding was at the top of the mountain on 8/20/2021 and we will forever be grateful for the wonderful memories they helped us create. Stephanie Grey is from heaven. She made the planning process so easy. I was an out of state bride and so this made a huge difference to me. We did a filet dinner with shrimp and I can't tell you how many guest gushed over the quality of the food. We are foodies and we know that large events sometimes means quality or consistency can be compromised and I have to say they blew away our expectations.

I loved Crystal Mt as a venue. It was beautiful and the planning process was easy. The day of staff was wonderful and it was a lovely place for our guest to stay. Wish we could do it again. Thanks Crystal Mountain!

My husband and I had originally planned a large wedding where we live in the Kalamazoo area for Feb 2021. We were forced to change our plans due to COVID-19 and the restrictions in the state on gatherings during this time. I reached out to Crystal Mountain to see what kind of options they could offer and Carmen one of the Sales/Event Managers was amazing with offering us multiple options to still have our wedding. We were married outside in the Rose Garden and we were able to rent a home on the property where we hosted our intimate reception(14 people) in the walkout basement. The banquet staff delivered everything we needed to the house and we made it beautiful. I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience, the food was incredible and the service from the resort was even better. Stephanie and Carmen went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was special even with the current circumstances.

Crystal Mountain was so great to work with! I did a very small elopement very last minute(only a month of planning) and from day 1 they were so responsive and made me feel like my wedding was the most important event of the day. I would love to give a shout out to Carmen and Stephanie who are great to work with and made my day so amazing. The food was catered through them and everyone loved it. They brought it straight to us and picked everything up so seamlessly. I also needed extra things the day of and they were able to bring it no problem. A beautiful place and wonderful people to work with, I would highly recommend using them.

Crystal Mountain was such a beautiful venue for our wedding and our team at Crystal helped to put together the most beautiful memorable weekend for our wedding!

Though my fiancé and I did not have our wedding yet, we have only amazing things to say about Crystal Mountain! We got engaged here where the staff helped my fiancé plan the perfect proposal that surprised me like no other! He took me up the ski lift to see the fall colors and it was gorgeous (even with the rain). This was followed by dinner at Thistle Pub. And then a completely private and romantic couples spa package. We had the entire spa and lounge to ourselves where he proposed with a handmade scrap book of our 8 year relationship! Could not have asked for a better place to get engaged!

Due to the restrictions and executive orders in the state of Michigan we were unable to continue planning our wedding at Crystal Mountain. Although we are extremely sad we did not get to experience our day here Crystal Mountain was exceptional to work with. Stephanie, especially, was fantastic. She answered all of my hundreds of questions and went above and beyond to make any of my crazy ideas come to life. Carmen, also communicated with me when things were not looking like they were going to go as planned. She worked with us in this unfortunate event to make sure we were satisfied at the end of the day and of course wished us the best of luck. If you are thinking about booking this venue I highly recommend as you will not be disappointed. We will for sure be back to Crystal Mountain!

Crystal mountain made our wedding planning process easy and they were very attentive to the timeline and all of our questions. Unfortunately, in the end we were not able to have our wedding there due to covid restrictions but I imagine the wedding would have been coordinated seamlessly.

Crystal Mountain was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding venue! My spouse and I had the most amazing day! We had delicious food, the scenery was incredible, and the stay was wonderful, too. We had great communication all throughout the process with Carmen and Stephanie. We would recommend Crystal Mountain to anyone. Many family members are already planning their next visit!

My fiance and I had never been to Crystal Mountain before, but when we took a tour there shortly after our engagement, we knew it was the perfect spot for our wedding. We had a mountain-top ceremony, and there couldn't be a more perfect view! We (and our guests) loved the beautiful ride on the chairlift. Everyone that we came in contact with at Crystal Mountain was so kind and helpful. Both sides of the bridal party stayed in the Mountain-side townhomes at Crystal Mountain. We all really enjoyed staying there. It was the perfect spot to relax with my bridesmaids and get our hair and makeup done the morning of the wedding. We also loved getting our nails done at the Crystal Spa. I would definitely recommend that too. Crystal Mountain is such a beautiful wedding venue. The food for our reception was delicious, and all of the staff members are extremely helpful. We will never forget our special day at Crystal Mountain! :)

Crystal mountain was the absolute perfect spot for us to have a wedding. From day one when we went to go visit them, they were always amazing to work with. The accommodations for guests were amazing, from the spa, the golf course, and the lodging. Our guests were raving over how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Heather was our day of the wedding coordinator and Carmen was who we initially met with. They were both great at communicating with us and answered any questions that we had without any hesitation. Our wedding day is something we will remember for the rest of our lives and a lot of it had to do with the fact that we chose Crystal Mountain for the ceremony and the reception. We cannot thank you enough.

We chose Crystal Mountain because it had everything we were looking for: mountain top views for our ceremony, outdoor reception close by, and the option for lodging for our guests. Our wedding party booked two Mountainside townhomes, and Crystal Mountain made sure they were next door to each other. This made it so much easier to keep everyone on track with our schedule and no one had to go back and forth to get their personal items. Carmen was the first person we talked to at Crystal Mountain. She was so incredibly informative and responsive to our emails. When we checked out the venue, she was so friendly and easy to work with. She is a big reason why we chose Crystal Mountain because we knew it'd be easy to work out details with her. Our coordinators at Crystal Mountain were equally as helpful and made our entire day seamless and carefree. Special thanks to Stephanie for being so responsive and for putting up with our millions of questions! I highly suggest taking the ski lift up to the ceremony on the mountain top. Everyone kept telling us how unique, peaceful, and scenic the ride was! All of our guests are still talking about the beauty of our wedding. It was definitely a hit and we have no regrets at all about choosing Crystal Mountain for our wedding!! Highly recommend!

The perfect wedding! We had our reception on the Mountain Top Deck with the most gorgeous weather possible. Our guests loved riding the ski lift to the top. The food was amazing, I received many compliments on our appetizers. Stephanie Gray and Carmen Kott were very professional and super responsive with emails. Wish we could do it all over again! It was the perfect day. They kept ya very organzied as well, it was like having a wedding planner without having to pay for one.

We booked an immediate-family-only wedding of about 20 guests at Crystal Mountain, and my husband and I agree that it was the ideal setting for the blending of two families. We all stayed in close proximity, were able to mingle publicly (bonfire!) and privately (in our individual units) easily, and walking between our suites was a breeze. The grounds were so lush and absolutely GORGEOUS in early fall, which make our short trips & photos absolutely beautiful. We wanted to treat everyone, but not feel like our ceremony & dinner was overly fussy - the Michigan Legacy Art Park and dinner at the Thistle was a perfect, intimate vibe for our crew.

I cannot say enough good things about how incredible Crystal Mountain and their entire team is!!! From the food, to the event spaces, to the staff, every detail of our wedding was meticulously cared for. Carmen and Stephanie helped our planning go so smoothly, I never worried about any details! We had so many compliments on how wonderful the cabins and hotel rooms were for our guests! We stayed in the cabins at Crystal for almost an entire week, and the entire stay was a dream. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Bee Room at the Thistle Pub, and the food and staff were amazing! I want to give a special shout out to Joel and the bartender at the Thistle Pub, as they were PHENOMENAL in all ways for the entire wedding weekend! Our wedding ceremony was on the Mountain Top, and our ceremony was in the Northwest Territories ballroom. Our guests LOVED the chairlift up the mountain, it was so much fun! The views were absolutely breathtaking. They were also great at accommodating our guests who were unable to ride the chairlift. Our ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, and our reception was amazing! It was the best food I have ever had at a wedding, and they were phenomenal with accommodating our special requests. I am so happy that we chose to get married at Crystal Mountain, as they gave us a dream wedding weekend!

Crystal Mountain was everything we could ever hope for and so much for! We had several guests from out-of-town, out-of-state, and even out of the country! Everyone loved the scenic ceremony location and incredibly fun reception! Our guests continue to tell us what an amazing time they had and how much the venue blew them away! The food was amazing, the rooms/condos/cottages were UNREAL, and everywhere we went the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can not recommend this venue enough. If you want a beautiful venue to capture all that Northern Michigan has to offer - look no further!

Crystal Mountain is as perfect as wedding venues get! Thanks due to Carmen Kott and Stephanie Gray, our seasoned planning experts, all of our wedding planning was a breeze. The sit down, plated food tasting was a very nice surprise and having the chef come out for questions was even better! If you need reservations, ask for Carissa Smith, she is a true expert and is understanding when it comes to questions. We compared Crystal Mountain to many other venues in the Traverse City area and if you are wanting friendly and detail oriented, don't even bother looking elsewhere besides this venue!

Our wedding at Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville MI on 8/31/19 was absolutely stunning. We had the Mountain top ceremony and Lodge Deck reception. The Staff from beginning to end were very helpful with planning and attentive to myself and all my guest with the whole process. The resort is beautiful!

The staff at Crystal Mountain exceeded our expectations. Stephanie, Carmen and their team were extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. Our guests kept commenting about it being ‘the best wedding they have ever been to...’ and the comments in regard to the chairlift ride were never ending. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to anyone and everyone to host their wedding - no matter the season!

Crystal Mountain was a dream! We blindly chose Crystal Mountain while living out of state. After signing a contract We did a tour in the winter & it was hard to imagine what it would look like come summer. One word “WOW!” Not only is it gorgeous- they are so hospitable! Professional! Organized! Everything you could ask for. Carmen is on point with everything & super responsive, easy to communicate with! Stephanie was amazingly helpful in making the events flow smoothly. I was so stressed the day before & their team melted all of that away! Totally worth it! All of our guests had a blast the whole weekend. So much to do! All round great place.

I would give Crystal a million stars if I could! Every penny was worth it because we had the most perfect day. From the very beginning, Carmen was so helpful and accommodating with getting us booked in! She was wonderful. Then, Stephanie was a rockstar in planning our wedding! Everyone was so accommodating to special requests-and we had a lot! From a special dual plate, to adding in different wines to the packages, they were willing to do whatever it took to make our day special! Even the girl at guest services helped us book some last minute condos when our airbnb didn't have AC! All across the board, I would give Crystal all the praise! The organization, friendliness, professionalism, hospitality, and genuine care for their clients is impeccable. THANK YOU TO CRYSTAL for our dream wedding!

Heather, Carmen, and the entire Crystal Mountain team were fully invested throughout the entire wedding planning process. Heather was extremely organized before the event, communicated clearly and promptly, and took our wishes into consideration, including personal touches, such as custom drink requests and appetizer options. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. We would absolutely recommend Crystal Mountain in a heartbeat. Crystal Mountain allowed us to have our dream wedding!

What a wonderful wedding weekend!! The staff at Crystal Mountain are excellent, the were 100% on board with everything that the bride and groom envisioned for their special day. We had planned an outdoor ceremony and prayed for a sunny day, but mother nature had other ideas and unleashed a huge rainstorm for most of the day. The staff quickly and efficiently reconfigured an indoor space to hold the ceremony. Thank you so very much for helping the bride and groom to have the wedding of their dreams.

The team at Crystal is amazing! Everything was so organized from the start of our planning with them right up to the day of! They helped us pick the best location for our ceremony and reception sites, and when the weather tried to interfere they really came through in making the best of everything.

Crustal Mountain was a perfect place for us to hold our wedding. We had the art park for our venue and it couldn’t have been more secluded seeming and feeling. Although it is just off the golf course, it really feels like you’re in the middle of the woods. They were so accommodating with our wine and beer choices and the food was absolutely amazing.

Our guests loved all of the different lodging options. We didn't have time to take advantage of the many activities onsite but there really is something for everyone. The food was incredible. People called us after just to tell us how good the food was. The people we worked with were very attentive and I felt like they truly cared that my experience was great and my day was special.

Crystal mountain was perfect! The staff was very accommodating and made sure everything was perfect. The food was amazing!!

From the start, Crystal Mountain has been more than accommodating. Carmen went above and beyond in helping us scope out the perfect cabin for my girls and I to get ready in, and Samantha has been incredibly thorough with all of the details. She's answered all of my questions and been such a great person to work with. I feel as though I'm in the best possible hands for the big day, and they've made planning my wedding such a positive experience thus far!

Working with Sam & Emily has been an amazing experience! They are very accommodating and have gone out of their way to make our experience wonderful. At our food tasting, everything was presented like it would be at the wedding and the food was incredible! We can't wait for the Big day!

They did a wonderful job

We had our entire wedding weekend at Crystal Mountain and it could of not been more perfect! Carmen helped us find the best location for us from the rehearsal dinner, a welcome reception with a bonfire for all our family and friends as well as the ceremony and wedding reception. Samantha was a huge help through the planning process answering any questions we had and both Samantha, Emily and Sharon helped see everything through on the day of to make sure our day was perfect! Our guests loved being able to stay right on-site and the variety of rooming options was great for everyone to pick what was right for them. Thank you to Crystal Mountain for making our wedding weekend the most stress free and fun weekend we could of imagined!

David and I would like to send our sincerest thank you and the Crystal Mountain team for making our dream wedding a reality. We cannot speak highly enough (but we will here!) about our CM experience from start to finish. From our first tour with Carmen, to our last goodbye with Tony, everything was flawless. Our event was not an easy event to execute. We had many unique requests and a multi-day event that added complexity - a rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, morning ceremony, afternoon BBQ, and evening reception. Yet with a smile and dedicated problem solving, Crystal Mountain delivered above and beyond what we could have imagined. They even brought us the good weather :) The thing that stood out most in our experience was the genuine pride each staff member took in their work. It is clear to us that there is a high standard of excellence across the entire Crystal Mountain team -- lodging, dining & catering, transportation, facilities, spa, etc. The positive culture CM has across your entire resort is palpable. The attention to detail and the care and concern for the quality of the experience shined through with every planning call, every email, and every moment of our big weekend. I would highly recommend having your wedding at Crystal Mountain.

The staff and the setting were wonderful as was the food and service. About the only issue we had was with the housing, primarily the difficulty of getting into rooms ahead of the ceremony. Check in is at 5pm and the ceremony was at 4pm followed by the reception. It made it difficult for our guests and especially people in the wedding party to check in without booking two nights stay. However the wedding coordinators were tremendous and the Art Park and NW Territories Ballroom were stunning.

Crystal Mountain's conference services and sales team are amazing to work with! The backdrop was perfect for us and everyone can stay on property! I would recommend this venue to anyone!

Crystal Mountain did a fantastic job with our daughter's rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception. It was everything we were expecting and the service was over the top. The accommodations were excellent and perfect for all family that stayed. I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain for a wedding.

Exceptional service and quality would be an understatement! Both myself and my groom were beyond impressed with both Carmen Kott and Samantha Roelofs customer service and flexibility! There wasn’t much that they, as well as other Crystal Mountain staff said no to when it came to our expectations and making our perfect wedding dreams come true! We are so thankful that we decide to hold our wedding at this venue and you will be too!

Crystal Mountain's staff and wedding coordinators made our wedding an absolute dream. Cannot say enough kind things about Carmen and Samantha, as they were prompt, kind, professional, and very easy to work with. They are super responsive and organized and I could not have planned an out-of-state wedding as smoothly with anyone else!

I highly recommend this resort for everything! They made planning my daughters destination wedding so easy. Carmen, Samantha, and Emily handled everything from accommodations to every little detail on the actual wedding day. I honestly don’t know how they do it so well. All family and friends were extremely happy with everything regarding their stay in the cottages, wintergreen condos, the Inn and the large homes. I truly thank all the staff for making the whole event run so smoothly. It’s the Crystal Mountain difference!

Crystal Mountain has the best staff to help guide you through the wedding planning process. No detail was missed and all requests were accommodated. They truly were a one stop shop for us and we are so glad we chose them!

The event team at Crystal was absolutely fabulous. It was important to me not to stress out about the planning process & relish on the whole experience. They were great about getting back to me quickly (always helpful with an anxious bride), they always had a plan B if needed, & had an answer to all of my questions. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I was stress free and had an absolute blast on our wedding day!

My husband and I are so glad we chose Crystal Mountain for our wedding venue. Every member of the staff was wonderful, and they all worked so hard to make our special day perfect. Our coordinator, Samantha, was very responsive and so helpful. All of our guests loved the mountain top ceremony and the outdoor reception. I would recommend Crystal mountain to anyone in search of a venue for their wedding!

Our son and his new bride's mountain-top wedding could not have been more perfect! The entire Crystal Mountain staff did an outstanding job; Carmen and the best coordinators Samantha and Emily, wonderful set-up crew, efficient servers and bartenders, delicious appetizers and dinner, banquet captain who was present all evening (I'm sorry her name escapes me at the moment!), and attention to every detail. Also, the chair lift operators were very kind and helpful to those who had never been on a chair lift; they helped make the day even more special and so much fun! Thank you everyone!!

We held our rehearsal dinner at Crystal Mountain and many of our guests stayed there. I can honestly say rehearsal night was just as fun and memorable as our wedding. The Crystal staff was amazing, we had great food and drinks, a beautiful backdrop to our event, and so much more. We hosted dinner with immediate family and wedding party, followed by a cocktail party/bonfire open to all our guests complete with s’mores. It was an amazing night and I can’t thank the staff enough for all their help and efforts!

I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain for your wedding venue! My husband and I recently got married there and it was a perfect "destination" (2 hours away) wedding. Our guests loved being able to ride the chairlift up the mountain to our beautiful ceremony. Our reception area had large windows facing the mountain. The wedding planning process went smoothly with Carmen Kott and Samantha Roelofs. Both were readily available and quick to answer any questions I came across throughout the wedding planning process. The resort itself is beautiful as well. There are many activities for children and adults to do. Guests enjoyed going to the spa, playing at the water park, and going down the alpine slide.

The location of our ceremony and reception were gorgeous! Our coordinator responded quickly, even if I emailed questions or concerns on weekends.

Crystal Mountain was a gorgeous location for my son's wedding! Carmen K and all the staff went above and beyond to tend to all our needs! Thank you CM for a beautiful wedding day.

The staff at Crystal Mountain was professional and very helpful with every step of the way as we prepared for our wedding. The set up of the facilities was beautiful and they had everything timed perfectly. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose Crystal Mountain!

Everything was fantastic for our wedding this October at Crystal Mountain. Stephanie and Carmen were always readily available during the planning process. It was such a relief to have someone with experience. During the day of the wedding Carmen and Stephanie were extremely helpful and resourceful. Our wedding went extremely smooth without a single hiccup. Friends and family are still saying how convenient and fun the wedding was. The food was fantastic and the convenience of everything was wonderful. If we were to do it over, we would not change a single thing. We both had more fun than what we expected and were able to enjoy the day with our closest friends and family.

Our wedding at Crystal Mountain was exceptional! With the help of Carmen, Taylor, Eugene and Stephanie our event was a dream come true. The event and banquet staff were so helpful and executed a flawless day. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how well they were cared for during our wedding at Crystal Mountain. Regardless of the rain (typical Michigan weather!) the staff created a flawless back up plan that was equally fantastic. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking to host their wedding up north with. Cheers to a beautiful Northern Michigan wedding!

Crystal Mountain was the perfect venue for us to tie the knot! We held the ceremony on the Mountain Top deck and views are to die for! The fall colors and the ski lift were things that our guests really enjoyed! The food was delicious, staff was so friendly, and Stephanie our wedding coordinator made sure the day went as smoothly as possible. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

Crystal Mountain met all our expectations for our daughters wedding. Carmen, Taylor and Gene Houghton along with their service team made it a seamless operation. We had to forgo the Mountain top ceremony because of weather, it made no difference because the indoor space was top notch. It was also in the same building as the reception, Northwest Territories. All the way through to the service people we and our guests encountered at Crystal Mountain friendly, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend using CM for your wedding.

Our wedding and reception were amazing!! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests. The ceremony was at the top of the mountain and our guests loved taking the chairlifts to the top of the mountain. Though the ceremony was HOT (it was 93 degrees in September!!!) it was beautiful and so us. The food was delicious (we had our reception and rehearsal dinner at the resort). Carmen and Stephanie were both extremely responsive and helpful throughout our experience. Every staff member that we met was so incredibly nice!The only issue we ran into was guests that were not able to stay for two nights having trouble finding lodging at the resort (2 night minimum for most rooms, there were a select number available for one-night stays), however Crystal Mountain was up front about this from the beginning and we were able to direct guests to other local lodging that could accommodate one night stays. I would absolutely recommend Crystal Mountain for your wedding!

Our wedding at Crystal Mountain exceeded our expectations and was a dream come true. The staff, atmosphere, food, drinks, and all amenities were beyond amazing. Dave and I are truly blessed and are still in awe of our wonderful wedding at Crystal. We heard so many times from guests that this was the best wedding they have ever been to.

We had an absolutely spectacular wedding at Crystal Mountain. Stephanie was easy to work with and very helpful. The ceremony venue was breath taking and everything about the weekend was amazing. Our guests all raved about the venue and the wedding. Only complaint is that we had a few hiccups related to lodging but they were minor and it all worked out in the end. I highly recommend Crystal Mountain!

I am extremely happy that we chose Crystal Mountain for our wedding ceremony and reception. We could not have asked for a more spectacular weekend. The ceremony was held at the Mountain Top Deck and the views were breathtaking. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience of riding the chairlift to the ceremony site. The reception was held in the Northwest Territories at the Crystal Center which allowed our guests to move freely from inside the ballroom to outside on the terrace. In addition, we had a welcome party & campfire and golf outing. All of the staff were very professional and accommodating from the banquet captains to the bartenders to the servers to the recreation department. Working with Carmen, Stephanie and especially Taylor was a dream. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and were very responsive to our needs and our guests. Thank you Crystal Mountain for giving us such a beautiful wedding weekend!

Crystal Mountain made our wedding an absolute fairy tale and we are so grateful to them and their team! We had our destination wedding at Crystal Mountain in August and it's still all our family and friends can talk about. Stephanie, Carmen, and the rest of the team there is truly the best in the business. My husband and I searched high and low for a venue that would work for us, and I knew Crystal Mountain was it from my first phone call with Carmen. Carmen and Stephanie were both incredibly generous with their time and super responsive. Our guests came from all over the country, 95% were out of state, and we have heard over and over from our family and friends that they plan to go back to Crystal Mountain. The facilities are gorgeous and state of the art. There is something to do for everyone, and the restaurants are terrific. We had a full 4 day wedding weekend there with multiple events (welcome drinks, a golf outing, the wedding and reception, and a farewell brunch) and they knocked it out of the park at every turn. The ceremony site at the Mountain Top was breathtaking - guests LOVED the chairlift and the views - and I can't imagine marrying my husband anywhere else. The reception site at the Pavilion Tent was beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. THANK YOU Crystal Mountain!

I could not have more positive things to say about having our August 2017 wedding at Crystal Mountain! As soon as I first visited the resort over a year ago, I knew it was where we would get married. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and have the picturesque Northern Michigan vibe we were looking for, without being a rustic/country barn. We wanted to have our whole wedding outside - which is completely possible at Crystal Mountain, but they also have the added security of back up indoor spaces, just in case mother nature doesn't cooperate. We were first greeted by Carmen, who was able to answer all our questions and give us a tour of all the possible ceremony and reception sites. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and did a fabulous job following up with me via email after our initial visit. Once we booked, we started working with Stephanie, who is the on-site coordinator - and let me tell you, she is just absolutely Wonderful! I adored working with her. She was always quick to respond to my MANY questions and emails, and helped answer all my questions and calm my nerves along the way. She was able to give her own input and recommendations as well, and never missed a beat helping us plan our dream day. When it came to the big weekend - everyone was very friendly, and made us feel their main goal was to ensure we had the best time and everything went exactly as planned. Even when our own group was running behind for our rehearsal, Stephanie made sure that I wasn't stressed about it, and that it was our day and our weekend, and that everything would run perfectly fine. We had all of our events on property - ceremony rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party, and even brunch the next day. It was a lot of events to plan and keep track of, and Stephanie and the Crystal Mountain staff were on the ball the entire time, and really took a lot of stress off my shoulders. In particular, they allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner at the Thistle Bar & Grill w/ a menu style dinner - which is what we had envisioned and wanted - but had never been done before at Crystal! They really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our whole weekend! And when it came to our guests, we had compliments POURING in! They loved the resort, the accommodations, the activities, the FOOD!, everything! Everyone had a great time and were raving about how gorgeous the venue was and what a great place it was to get married. A lot of our guests were able to ride the chairlift during our reception too, which was an added surprise for them that they loved! The ONLY downfall I can even think to mention, is an outdoor reception has a curfew of 11pm. I could've danced ALL night and wished we could've gotten just a couple more hours outside. But we were able to hold an after party, so everyone just moved inside and upstairs and kept the party going! This is where we were able to put our late night snacks as well - which, again, people raved about! So really - the 11pm curfew is a bummer, but there are ways around it! :) Like I said, we honestly couldn't have more good things to say about Crystal Mountain, Stephanie, Carmen, and the entire staff. They were absolutely wonderful and I can't imagine holding our wedding anywhere else. It really was the best weekend ever! We already can't wait to come back and visit where we became Mr and Mrs! (just another unspoken added bonus)

Crystal's staff was amazing from start to finish. Our daughter & new son-in-law are both active-duty military, and planning long-distance added another challenge-but we were so impressed with their flexibility and helpfulness throughout the experience! The wedding was everything we all hoped it would be, the venue was beautiful, the food & service was over the top. We made so many beautiful memories.....special thanks to Carmen and Stephanie!

Crystal Mountain and their Staff, especially Stephanie and Carmen went above and beyond what we expected. Both did an outstanding job for us. Our daughter's wedding day was SO Special because of the fine work that they all did. It was THE BEST! Every guest that we spoke to couldn't have been more pleased and complimentary. We would highly recommend Crystal for a wedding venue !!!

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our destination wedding. Everyone at Crystal Mountain went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests felt welcomed and taken care of. For the reception itself, the entire staff did an amazing job making sure everything was in order and that our wedding would go exactly as planned. I can't thank the Crystal Mountain staff, especially Carmen Kott and Stephanie Gray, enough for making this day a dream come true for my wife and I.

Overall, we had a great experience with our wedding at Crystal Mountain. Service was excellent, facilities and scenery are top notch, and we couldn't have asked for our day to go any better. Of course as I'm sure with any wedding venue, there were added costs/upcharges for many things. However, the staff was very attentive to all of our specific needs.
