Crystal Mountain

l 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!

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.

re!) 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.

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!

inue 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!

he 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!

nd all my guest with the whole process. The resort is beautiful!

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!

s- 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.

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!

n, 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!

ut 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.

y really came through in making the best of everything.

of the woods. They were so accommodating with our wine and beer choices and the food was absolutely amazing.

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.

'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!

incredible! We can't wait for the Big day!

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!

h 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.

wed 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.

t stayed. I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain for a wedding.

in 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!

ganized and I could not have planned an out-of-state wedding as smoothly with anyone else!

ow 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!

ey 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!

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!

enders, 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!!

drop 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!

autiful 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.

uld definitely choose Crystal Mountain!

n 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.

ow 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!

s so friendly, and Stephanie our wedding coordinator made sure the day went as smoothly as possible. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

e 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.

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!

al. We heard so many times from guests that this was the best wedding they have ever been to.

ing. 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!

oroughly 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!

nd 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!

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)

erience! 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!

Every guest that we spoke to couldn't have been more pleased and complimentary. We would highly recommend Crystal for a wedding venue !!!

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.

ere added costs/upcharges for many things. However, the staff was very attentive to all of our specific needs.

ly was the staff great but the food blew our mind! We are still receiving reviews from our guests about that pineapple salmon. Everyone always tells the bride and groom to make sure they eat. Well our plates we polished clean by the time we finished. Our wedding party speeches were a bit lengthy and it pushed our meal service back but you would have never guessed because it was that good. The service was quick and accurate and the waiting staff was so sweet. The bar staff was just ask great! They were quick mixing together our favorite cocktails and they did it with a smile! They were amazing! My husband and I were also very impressed with the Crystal Mountain chair lift rides. It was the perfect touch for our guests to take a step back and truly appreciate the beauty of Northern Michigan. The staff working the lift was very helpful when I went to sit. If you can imagine sitting on a chair lift in a dress it can be a little intimidating but it worked out perfectly with their assistance. We can't say enough about the staff. Towards the end of the evening they sis such an amazing job cleaning up. I never looked around and thought man it's a mess. They were so on top of picking things up and clearing tables. We were very impressed. My husband and I also had the opportunity to stay at Crystal Mountain for our wedding night. The room was beautiful and very clean. We were welcomed with a sweet card and bottle of champagne from the staff that melted our hearts. Overall, we loved our experience with Crystal Mountain. The majority of our wedding was planned with us being hundreds of miles away in midwestern Illinois but the staff at Crystal Mountain made us feel like we were right there in Thompsonville, MI. We are extremely blessed to have had the experience we did. We wouldn't have changed a thing about it!!

ental of the properties used, and then turned over to Stephanie Gray, the person who helped us with the wedding plans. Our wedding was held outside at "The Pond", and it was a perfect day for it. We contracted with Pastor Gene Houghton, who is also the full time Supervisor of setting up the banquet rooms, chairs, tables, etc., so his help was extraordinary, and it was very helpful to have him as the officiant as well as set up supervisor. We were kept informed of all the important stuff initially by Carmen, and then worked even more closely with Stephanie Gray. We really appreciated how knowledgable Stephanie was, and she really jumped in to help coordinate signs for us and was always there before the event and even through the event, just making sure everything was to our expectations. She was a gem to work with! Sharren Williamson was the lady in charge of the wait staff, and finishing of the dining area, and she was just the type of person we enjoy working with, as she was very detail oriented, and it went off perfectly. We had great subcontractors also, Cindy and her husband Ed from Sweet Seats did a terrific job decorating halls, chairs, sidewalls, ceiling of the event center, and quickly answering all our concerns throughout the planning stages. She gave us a great discount which we really appreciated, and was worth every penny. Jenna, from Victoria's Floral in Benzonia, also did a terrific job of arranging all the flowers and accents for the tables, and all the stands and ferns that just made the look perfect, including the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Everyone mentioned how wonderful they all looked and the assortment of flowers and colors was amazing. Again, the pricing for all her work was acceptable and worth every cent. The cake was made by Jennifer Dontz or Sugar Delights in Manistee, and she is a national award winning cake decorator who we have used for years. The cake was one of a kind and tasted wonderful, again priced very reasonably. This is our second event here, with the first experience for us being 17 years ago for our older daughter. We were very happy to see that the quality of the service to us had not lessened, and in fact had been upgraded. There are so many areas for us to mention, such as the shuttle service provided from the pond to the parking and event centers all night, and the dedicated space your staff marked off in the parking area for our guests, also signs directing them to the parking area and that shuttle service was being provided to them. Also, the cleanup at the end went smoothly, with Sharren again taking charge of her staff and packing up the leftovers for us to take home. The food was also great, everyone complimented us on the hors d'ourves and the meal, including the sundae bar and pizza which were served later in the evening. Sharren's staff also boxed up left over wedding cake and we made it available in boxes to go at the end of the event. Owner of the resort, Jim McGinnis, also mentioned to me that this was one of the nicest weddings he had seen there, and was very impressed with how everything looked and felt. It couldn't have been any better for us.

ng, it really helped us picking out the meal. The wedding planner on site was also a big help. She was with us through all of the planning and when we had questions or last minute things that came up she was able to help and put my nerves to rest. Crystal Mountain had it all for us. In the end all we had to do was show up and have a good time.

a typical venue, but it is really nice to not worry about providing silverware, glasses, China, linens or anything like that. It's all pretty much inclusive and that was a huge weight lifted. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our wedding and reception very much. We were married at the Michigan Legacy Art Park and our reception was held at the Hudson Bay room and the settings for both....gorgeous. We really cannot recommend it more. They bent over backwards for us and we're so nice. Thank you, Crystal Mountain for making our wedding so memorable!

d a fairly large hole in my dress. However, the planning of my wedding with Crystal Moutain was very difficult. I ended up with four differnt corridators. The first three kept misplacing requests made via phone. I would recommend doing everythign you can via email so you have a record of it for later with Crystal Moutain. I would not listen to the staff when they say the lodge can fit 130 easy for wedding. It can fit 130 but it will have your guest out of view with the head table which i was not a fan of when i saw the floor plans. It ended up working out becuase only 80 peoole came to my wedding. If the full 130 we had planned for came we would have had issue with the room we booked.

hair at their spa. The shuttle service was timely and pleasant. I reccomend getting your nails done before if you want gel. The nail tech was awesome and the spa staff was great. The actual gel polish was not great - it chipped the day after I got them done, and I don't think it was from application error. I watched her do a great job, the gel was just thin and not great quality. I had my makeup done for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and I loved it! The mountain top ceremony site was beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. I would not have changed a thing.

a, who helped us organize the whole wedding. She kept track of all the little details and kept the planning running smoothly. She was always very responsive to e-mails- and we appreciated all the additional help she offered like helping with our flowers and keeping me calm on the wedding day! Crystal Mountain had everything all in one place- ceremony, reception and lodging. This was very convenient for our guests. Also, it is important to note that you could not go wrong staying at any location on property. Everyone was raving about EVERYTHING. One thing I was initially concerned with was having to use Crystal Mountain to cater our event. However, they had a very extensive menu, and were even willing to work with us to find the perfect menu options for our wedding.. We are so glad we chose Crystal Mountain! Can't wait to come back for skiing in the winter!

ng. The wedding coordinators at Crystal Mountain went over and above to help us plan between treatments and when our day arrived they even went farther to make our day the best memory of our life! Carmen Howard and Stephanie Honeycutt were utterly amazing. I have actually sent our full story over to The Knot magazine hoping someone will read the whole review.

nary! The venue was perfect! Every part of the wedding and reception were so well executed! The food, the decorations, the staff! My entire family was very impressed and we couldn't thank Crystal Mountain enough for a perfect day!

elicious! We got married on the Mountain Top Deck. Our guests loved riding the chairlift up to our ceremony and so did we! The MountainView Lodge was the perfect reception space for us! It was the perfect size and location. The food and wait staff service at Crystal Mountain was incredible! Everyone LOVED the Reuben Eggrolls!! We went through several coordinators during our planning process which was not really a big deal because they were all great with emailing back and forth. We only had two small issues: 1) There was a tent partially blocking our mountain view (due to a flood in a different restaurant) and 2) Staff was setting up for a concert immediately after our ceremony. The staff was setting up a bar and seating while we were doing pictures. Other resort guests were using our reception hallway and bathroom (making it a little awkward). We were informed about the tent before we arrived, but we were never informed about the concert. Overall, Crystal Mountain was a great venue! We highly recommend it! Make sure you have time for a massage at the Crystal Spa! It is absolutely amazing!

loved! The venue itself is beautiful and our guests loved riding the chairlift as an additional gift from Crystal Mountain. We had our ceremony at the Art Park, which was exactly the fairytale setting we were looking for. Our reception was at the MountainView Lodge Tent and fit our guests perfectly. We did run into a few situations along the way with Crystal Mountain. Many of our guests began booking rooms/condos in advance, including my Dad. However, when the wedding weekend came he was not given the condo that he initially booked to sleep 15. Instead our family had to be split up among two houses which was very disappointing and not the way we wanted it, so unfortunately make sure you call them many times to check and make sure your reservations are correct if you booked them over the phone. There was also a situation with our rehearsal time. We weren't told that there was an event taking place in the Art Park on that day, but instead were told we could have our rehearsal at 5:00, so that is what we told our guests months in advance so they could book flights and lodging options. About 2 weeks before the wedding, we were told we needed to move our rehearsal time up to 4:00, which meant our guests would not have any time to get ready once they checked in their rooms. We hoped for early check-ins, but many of them were not able to get in their rooms early or had problems with their rooms keys. It all ended up working out fine, but many of our guests were frustrated with rushing around Friday evening. Crystal Mountain comes with a coordinator, which I thought would be great because we were planning our wedding from where we live in Texas. We booked Crystal Mountain a year in advance and throughout the year we were juggled between 3 different coordinators. There seems to be a high turn-over rate, which is typical with the industry, but a little stressful for a bride. We hired Chelsea Chapin, separate from Crystal Mountain, as our day-of planner and she was AMAZING and helped with the communication between Crystal Mountain. David Sparks ended up being our coordinator for Crystal and he did a great job and was super friendly, so we're very happy with who we ended up working with! Carmen Howard also did a wonderful job helping to coordinate makeup appointments for 12 of my bridal party girls. Our guests loved the appetizers (coconut shrimp and stuffed mushrooms) and we had semi-good to good reviews for the chicken and beef plated entrees that were served. There was a slight problem with food during our reception -- a few of our guests were not served with the rest of the wedding due to a delay in the kitchen. Our guests loved the bartenders throughout the weekend and Crystal Mountain has a great selection for alcohol choices. David even got us our favorite beer that was not on the list :).

nd beyond for us. We made requests that Crystal had done previosuly and he made sure everything went without a hitch. The ceremony and reception were both beautiful. Our friends and family traveled from across the US and everyone loved Crystal. It was the perfect location for our wedding :) We couldn't have been happier.

zing! I'm a picky eater and they catered to all the food changes I requested. David Sparks is awesome and was the best coordinator! Carmen was also super helpful right from my first phone call to my 100th!

eautiful and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Most of our guests were out of town so it was a perfect destination wedding spot. The pond lawn was a perfect spot for her outdoor wedding. Crystal Mt. allowed us to bring in wine barrels to decorate to go along with her wine theme wedding. The wedding coordinator David took extra special care of our elderly guests who needed assistance. Our banquet captain Stephanie made sure everything was perfect at the reception. I did not have to worry about anything and could sit back and enjoy! A big thank you to everyone at Crystal Mountain for a wonderful wedding and beautiful memories!

ver, there were moments during this process that weren't as smooth. I had times when the wedding coordinator sent delayed responses, gave us wrong information, and wasn't very helpful. In particular, for our rehearsal, we had trusted her to advise on how the logistics of the event would go - where we enter, when would the next bridesmaid/groomsman walk down, how we transition to the cocktail hour, etc. Throughout most of the rehearsal, she wasn't much help and I felt the need to take charge without know what to do. Eventually, after asking question after question, she took lead and made several suggestions without further prompting. Overall, the rehearsal felt disorganized and confusing for all. As for our wedding day, they had forgotten to put the table numbers out on the tables, so nobody knew where they were seating! Luckily, that was the only hitch and it was resolved quickly by our best man. THE REMAING STAFF MEMBERS WERE EXCELLENT! The staff that was in charge of the reception area were very helpful. When we were decorating the night before, they had dimmed the lights for us to "get the full effect." The staff at the spa were very friendly! The hotel staff had taken the liberty to personally deliver our guest bags to anybody who had checked in before we were able to drop off the guest bags to the front desk. The employees in charge of transitioning our chairs from ceremony to reception did a great job and reused our decorations throughout the ceremony area.

wedding.She helped us to coordinate interesting events for our guests. We loved the welcome bonfire and the rehearsal dinner was amazing!! The food and presentation for the reception were also awesome. We were proud to have our guests attend the wedding and it went off without a hitch. Amanda and Bridgette were also extremely helpful in helping us book the wedding and with our guests lodging. All in all it was "The best day ever"!

s nothing short of spectacular. Megan is an amazing planner and our wedding would not have been the same without her help and guidance. The food was SO good and there was plenty to go around! Crystal did our desserts as well, which were delicious! Chef Brian and his staff gave us exactly what we were envisioning including dishes that weren't on the menu as well as vegetarian and vegan options for our guests. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding with the best food they had ever been to. The biggest decision I had to make the entire weekend was to move our ceremony location due to weather. All I had to do for the rest was SHOW UP! Thank you to the entire team at Crystal!

g the tent comes with an alternate inside venue. We didn't need it, but it was nice to know that was included. The staff does everything they can to make sure your day is perfect! They are so much fun to work with and very accommodating. Plus it was nice to have lodging right there for our guest.

emed to anticipate what needed to be done before we requested assistance, and even provided some services that were not in their contract to provide. Anything is possible at this venue regarding food, decor, service, location, etc. (and because of this, I was literally able to create the exact wedding I have always dreamed of including the ceremony and reception space), but everything that you request comes with a price. I did, however, find it worth it to be able to have all of my guests stay on-site, to have the ceremony and reception in the same location, and to have all of the catering/bar services included with the venue. Overall, I wouldn't have changed anything and am so grateful to the staff for making my wedding day truly perfect.

l is a big place and using someone off that list is nice because they're familiar with the territory and the staff. I definitely think I got my money's worth. Everyone said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

emony on the mountain top, the ski lift, and our reception. The food was absolutely delicious too! Our guests were also impressed with every detail as well as the hospitality of Crystal Mountain! This is the perfect venue for a memorable wedding!

ryone enjoyed this! People loved it! It was one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. We also held our cocktail hour and reception at the base of the mountain in large pavilion tents. Crystal catered the food and went above and beyond to help accommodate our vegan guests-something other venues would not do. Not only that but the food was truly fantastic all weekend. The service is incredibly high quality. If you want an "all inclusive" wedding experience where you can do it all in one place and work with a great team in Megan and Amanda then this is the place for you. The value was great considering I had to work with nearly one vendor and they did it all. Guests thoroughly enjoyed our wedding-it was a beautiful event thanks to Crystal.
