Crystal was an absolute dream Northern Michigan location for our wedding. Linda and Erin were both incredibly responsive to our needs, questions, and requests. Truly, they went above and beyond! We wanted a photo with the “Just Married” sign on the chairlift and they ensured that was a part of our day (we didn’t do a mountaintop ceremony). Everything was incredibly organized weeks in advance with their teams. The Crystal experience our guests raved about too. We recommend attending a tasting weekend, as we chose food items we wouldn’t have picked otherwise! Couldn’t recommend Crystal enough!

ff member we worked with was amazing. Our day-of coordinator was fantastic, organized, calm, and so attentive to our timeline. The bartenders, servers, and dinner staff all did a wonderful job, and the service during dinner was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious!
One of the best parts was how convenient everything was for our guests. Almost everyone stayed right on the property, either in the cottages or the hotel, and everything was within walking distance to the venue. It created such a fun, intimate weekend vibe and made it feel like a full getaway for everyone.
The property itself is gorgeous, especially in the fall. The peak colors were stunning and made the whole day feel magical. We also loved the spa (the massages and outdoor hot tub were amazing!) and the golf courses were a huge hit with our group. Crystal Mountain made our entire wedding weekend feel so special. We highly recommend getting married here, especially in the fall!

enue. On Thursday we started off the wedding festivities with a tube float down the Platte River via Riverside Canoes, this was only 25 minutes from the resort. Friday morning I enjoyed the beautiful Crystal Mountain spa with a complimentary wedding massage, it was amazing! We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Barr Park. Saturday was a gorgeous ceremony at the Mountain Top Deck, the views were stunning. We rode the chairlift down to our cocktail hour and enjoyed the reception in the evening. On Sunday we wrapped up the perfect weekend with a beautiful brunch.
The staff at Crystal Mountain was incredible. The communication and attention to detail was extremely refined. Our guests could not stop talking about how nice everyone was at Crystal Mountain and how delicious the food was. The food selection was outstanding, along with my Cold brew Espresso Martini signature drink!
From the beginning stages working with Linda Kiander to finalizing all of the small details with Erin Gilbert, I can't thank the Crystal Mountain team enough for all of their handwork. All of my requests and additional details came to life and it's all thanks to the beautiful venue and the Crystal Mountain team.

We always knew we would get married at Crystal Mountain even before we were engaged because it is our favorite place in the world! It has been a second home to my family my whole l...
ife and no other place could be as special. Even if you have never been there before, I highly recommend it. It is such a fun place to have all your friends and family gather. There are so many wonderful types of accommodations including hotel rooms, condos and houses. There are so many fun things to do on the property for everyone as well. Because it's such a fun place to be we asked everyone to stay Wednesday through Sunday, not just for our wedding.
Linda was amazing during the first step, giving us a tour and explaining our different options. We decided to get married at the mountain top and it was kind of her to drive us to the top to see it. We had our welcome party the night before our wedding at Barr park and Linda made booking both places an easy experience.
Erin Gilbert was our Conference Service manager and she was a star! She helped me with so much of our planning and I knew I was in great hands. She ran our rehearsal so smoothly and made my wedding day absolutely perfect with the rest of the Crystal Mountain staff.
The people who work at Crystal Mountain are the nicest people I've ever met. The landscaping there is gorgeous. You feel like you are in a fantasy world when you are there, like it can't be real because everything is just so happy and perfect.
Our guests were so WOW'ed by our wedding - especially the ceremony because everyone took the chair life to the top. Some people took a shuttle van that was offered to guests who were afraid which was really nice to have that accommodation. The reception was under the tent and we had the surrounding outdoor space as well. There was so much room for games and the kids could run around and it was perfect for people like us who like to have fun. The night before at Barr park was also wonderful and it was meant to be casual because we only served pizza and open bar but Crystal Mountain made it an elevated experience. The food at the welcome party and at my wedding was DELICIOUS! We served steak and white fish and everyone raved about their meal. We had the ice cream sundae bar which was a hit too.
If you want to get married somewhere where the employees show that they care about you and make everyone feel welcomed - this is the place! Everyone told me it was the best wedding they've ever been to and I don't think they were trying to be nice. It was truly a magical experience and I highly recommend getting married at Crystal Mountain!

ible (the duck wontons changed our lives), the service provided by the wait staff was amazing! We chose the mountain top with the ski lift ride up to the top. The view was amazing, I look at the pictures weekly and still dream about our wedding day. It really was magical. Our guests said it was one of the most unique ceremony experiences, our friends and family are still talking about it :) Erin was our coordinator, and she was so helpful! Not only did she help ensure everything ran smoothly the day of, but she was communicative during the whole process and responded promptly to any questions that we had. From someone who does not like to host or plan, Erin's calming demeanor was very much appreciated on our wedding day with an anxious bride. If you are looking into venues, I would highly recommend Crystal Moutain. My favorite part of the weekend was having our friends and family rent condos or stay in one of the beautiful lodges. Everyone enjoyed themselves, kids went to the pool, and the adults enjoyed themselves. We REALLY enjoyed the weekend with everyone that we love the most!

he Fall colors were perfect and the chair lift ride to the top of the Mountaintop made for a memorable wedding for our guests. Kaylin, our event coordinator was especially helpful throughout the whole process from the beginning stages of planning all the way to guiding our young ring bearers down the aisle during the ceremony. All of the staff at Crystal are truly wonderful to work with and made our day the absolute best. The chairlift operators were so sweet, the wait staff was awesome, and our bartender was great! Our guests raved about the food and drinks. Crystal also offered a lot of options which really allowed us to tailor the wedding day to suit us and our guests. Photography options are endless at Crystal. We truly had the best day ever and are so grateful to everyone that made our day so special at Crystal!

The entire time we had amazing communication with Erin, and with the help of the resort, she bent over backwards to accomodate weather challenges and made alI things seamless. Undoubtedly the best experience we could have asked for!!
As far as the grounds and venue options Crystal Mountain offers so many beautiful locations to choose from and the grounds and buildings are kept in meticulous fashion. We had family traveling from all over and the hotel, condo & cottage availability left affordability along with larger spaces for those needing additional space. It truly was unbelievable how smoothly everything came together.
Several on-site dining choices for all palette and price ranges. Pool, indoor and out with a multitude of options for families/coupls to enjoy, And a Spa too!!
Truly a Northern Michigan Experience with the quality and excellence you'd expect from a 5-star resort!

a location that gave us the up north feel along with a place where everyone could stay on site! This matched all of our checklists for the perfect venue! And then we met Erin Gilbert! And she is a bad a$$! She was on it from day one with me and worked with me closely. Always responded timely and when we were on the property she was even more helpful! They do everything they can to make every piece of this process so personal and they make you feel like royalty all weekend on the property. There is so much to do locally- your guests will be able to have an incredible weekend with your wedding being the highlight! I also want to compliment their incredible day of staff! Charlotte one of their banquet captains was with us on our rehearsal dinner and then was with us for our wedding and she made sure my husband and I were completely taken care for! Along with our guests!! Above and beyond!

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!

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 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.

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 perfe...
ct 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!

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 mou...
ntain-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 g...
uests 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.
