Crystal Springs Resort

Crystal Springs’ Big Sky Pavilion was the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The stunning views, spacious layout, and elegant ambiance created the ideal backdrop for our special day. From the moment we met with Lee, our original sales rep, we knew we were in good hands. She helped us visualize our dream wedding and provided invaluable guidance throughout the planning process. Our wedding coordinator, Sara, was exceptional. She was incredibly organized, attentive to detail, and always available to answer our questions. Her flexibility, professionalism and expertise made the entire planning process stress-free. Our maitre d’, Hector, was equally impressive. He was courteous and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs were truly remarkable. He was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and troubleshoot any issues that arose for the entirety of the night not only for us, but our guests too. Caitlin, our dedicated bridal attendant, was a lifesaver throughout the entire day. She was always there to assist us, from holding our personal belongings during photoshoots to ensuring we stayed hydrated and nourished. Her attentiveness and care allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries. One heartwarming story that highlights the exceptional service at Crystal Springs involves a staff member who offered to give a guest a ride on a golf cart. When the guest was unable to ride due to a dirty passenger seat, the staff member graciously offered to ride on the back, allowing the guest to drive ensuring she arrived safely and comfortably. This is just one of many stories we've heard from our guests about the kind and accommodating staff at Crystal Springs. Overall, our wedding at Crystal Springs was an absolute dream come true. We are eternally grateful for the perfect evening and the unforgettable memories we made. 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot speak more highly about the experience I had at Crystal Springs Resort. Everything was done so seemingly well- and it was easy for me as the bride, which I never thought was possible. My event coordinator Sara was excellent and took care of all my worries. It was the most beautiful day of my life and I am so grateful for Crystal Springs and the staff for pulling off the most magical event. Friends and family have all said it was the most beautiful and magical wedding they've ever been to!

Where do I begin…. Where I do feel I was a calm, collective bride I did however notice the nature of the unplanned can and will happen. For better or for worse. What I do know is Crystal Springs and their staff know how to turn the bad, the ugly into something beautiful. Most notably, Sara, Katelyn, and Hector. I cannot begin to thank these three enough for really creating the rainbow at the end of the storm. From delivering a sense of calmness to me and my entire family, to really showing genuine support from start to finish. They have a way that makes it all feel so personal. From staffing to views and catering. From the moment I walked the grounds I instantly knew this was the one. Although I looked at one other venue from the moment I was there I knew I didn’t want to continue searching. This was it. The views are absolutely magnificent. A different realm of calmness! Their food was exceptional. Not just the cocktail hour but the entire buffet style that we chose. Everyone has been raving about the food! The amount they sent us home with will nearly feed the two of us all week. If you’re on the fence and deciding, pick Crystal Springs! It will truly be special with the touches of Sara, Katelyn, and Hector.

I would recommend Crystal Springs Grand Cascades Lodge too all future brides. The staff, the venue, everything was amazing. From the start, Sara went above and beyond to answer all of my many questions. She took the time to speak with me and my parents so we understood everything. I was nervous about not having a day of coordinator but once we started the rehearsal, I knew I was in good hands. Kaitlyn was my evening bridal attendant and she was just phenomenal. She knew what I needed before I even asked. Drink was getting low? I had a fresh one in my hand before my last sip. She knew exactly what needed to happen without ever meeting before my wedding day. Now Hector, my amazing Maitre D. We met back at my tasting but did not meet again until my wedding day. We met briefly just to go over service one last time and everything was flawless. He prioritized my wants and needs above everything else. He made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and made sure we were happy. My day wouldn’t have been perfect without these three and I am so grateful I was able to have my wedding at the Grand Cascades Lodge. The only con and I won’t even deduct a start for this, was one front desk agent. On more than one occasion, I had guests reach out and tell me that someone at the front desk was rude and was giving them trouble with booking a room. Thankfully when I brought this up to the team, it was addressed and there were no further issues. Overall, if you find a date at Crystal Springs and they are in your budget, book them. You won’t regret it.

When we were in the beginning stages of planning our wedding, we knew we wanted a venue that had a beautiful outdoor space to host our ceremony. We also wanted a venue that was conveniently close to hotels to accommodate most of our guests attending the ceremony and reception. Crystal Springs Resort is not only the venue, but also the hotel. It also had the event space for our reception and After Party. It is a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy on us when planning our wedding. Once we toured the grounds and met with their wedding services team, we fell in love and knew it was a perfect fit for us. The resort is gorgeous and did not feel like a wedding factory, like a lot of other venues do these days. The staff were so detail oriented, professional and walked us through every detail. Our wedding coordinator, Kathleen, was amazing. She is responsive, professional, and genuine every step of the way. We could tell she truly cares about making the day as special as possible while also helping to advise on certain details that we either hadn’t thought about or planned. Hector, our maitre d, was amazing and helped the timeline of our wedding run flawlessly due to his hard work throughout the whole night. Crystal Springs Resort is known for their incredible food and they sure hit the mark. Everyone who attended marveled at the food and drink. Their stunning hotels provided our guests with comfort and assistance and the entire staff went above and beyond in delivering a premiere experience. From our unforgettable ceremony in the Wedding Garden, to cocktail hour in the Rotunda, to the reception in the Emerald Ballroom, to our after party in the epic Biosphere, it was the perfect day. It was a no brainer for us in choosing them and we highly recommend using Crystal Springs Resort! We had the wedding of our dreams and would choose them again and again!

Our wedding at CS was nothing short of incredible. I could not imagine it being anywhere else. The team, staff, capabilities and property are perfect. We had a 250 person 3 day long weekend and everything was top tier, organized and went on without a hitch (at least from what I know). It was exactly what we wanted and more. All our guests were on site for the weekend enjoying and amazing experience and mini getaways. The event/wedding team is incredible. Lee, Kathleen, Hector, Tom and everyone we worked with for the year of planing was kind, excited for us, helpful, attentive accommodating and always looking for solutions to help us and our vendors make our wedding weekend come to life. The service, food, and event spaces are perfect. There are so many capabilities and the property is gorgeous. If you are considering having your wedding at CS don't hesitate and book today. If we could throw our wedding 20 times over we would not change one thing.

Our wedding at Crystal Springs Resort was an absolute dream come true! The stunning scenery provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception, with breathtaking mountain views and beautifully manicured grounds. The staff was exceptional, attending to every detail with professionalism and warmth. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food and elegant atmosphere. From the luxurious accommodations to the impeccable service, everything exceeded our expectations. Crystal Springs Resort truly made our wedding day magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. Highly recommend for an unforgettable wedding experience!

First off i want to share how stunningly beautiful this resort is. It’s absolutely incredible. I recently got married on 8/30 and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Between the rehearsal dinner, with amazing food and ambiance to the morning of getting ready, the staff was so beyond attentive. The day of our wedding, we had so much help and guidance from our Crystal Springs team. Hector, our maître de, was UNREAL. He walked us through every minute of the day, calmed me down, and literally was there for every step of the way. The food was amazing, there was not one hungry belly in the room! Sara McManus, our event coordinator, was truly my saving grace. She easily saw my exact vision, and helped made it come to life. She literally gave me everything i wanted and more. The entire wedding weekend was the way it was because of her. Sara and her boss, Tom, made sure i was fully taken care of and were able to go the extra mile for us. I highly, highly recommend Crystal Springs. After a 3 day event of a rehearsal, wedding, breakfast & pool party, I truly wish i could do it all over again because it really was seamless and perfect. I adore the Crystal Springs family!

We had an amazing team assigned to us for our special day, specifically Sara as our coordinator. Crystal Springs is a well oiled machine and provides excellent day of service. The facilities were gorgeous, the staff was happy, and many guests commented day of not only how polite ad helpful the staff were but also how MANY there were. The guests we had felt like they wanted for nothing because someone was always there to help. Sara and her team were flexible with us, patient, happy to help, and took charge whenever needed. The food was out of this world and the guests we had (from all over) made comments on how many delicious options there were. They enjoyed the different food, entertainment, and relaxation options that were available if they were guests for longer than just the wedding as well. The only hiccup I experienced was sometimes it could be difficult to coordinate with using two hotels for our event. I wish someone I knew would get married here soon so I could attend. Would recommend to everyone!

If I could give Crystal springs 1000 stars I would! And what makes it that much more special of a venue are the people who work there - Jean & Kathleen ABSOLUTELY made my wedding perfect. Kathleen (wedding coordinator) was there through the entire process, easing our fears and being a guiding light. We had the most spectacular wedding! I hosted all of my wedding events at Crystal Springs: Welcome Din, Ceremony, Afterparty (biosphere) and brunch. Every event went smoothly and staff members functioned as a well oiled machine. Guests stayed at both Minerals & GCL. If I had one complaint it would be the price of hotel rooms at GCL as I felt it deterred some people from staying there - Unfortunately they are privately owned and therefore the price can not be changed. HAVE YOUR AFTERPARTY AT THE BIOSPHERE!! Every guest continued to say how unique and special it was. Hector (maitre'd) was also AMAZING. He coached my husband and I through our wedding - helped bustle my dress with Kathleen and was just another person there to ensure things ran smoothly. Also was very generous to our families. If you're looking for a weekend wedding vibe where guests have to do minimal traveling, this place is for you!

Thank you so much to everyone at the Crystal Springs Resort for making out wedding day so incredible! The food was amazing, the vibes we're immaculate and people are still talking about the pool party after party 6 months later! They have their operation down to a science and execute the day to perfection. There was nothing that I had to worry about on the day. Sara and Hector were incredibly helpful throughout the process and on the wedding day. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of booking this venue!

We cannot say enough good things about our recent wedding at Crystal Springs. And neither could all of our guests! Every detail of the wedding was perfect. The staff was incredibly helpful, kind, polite and quick to respond. Our wedding planner at Crystal Springs, Sara, was amazing. She made sure everything we hoped for happened! And we very much enjoyed working with her (she's the best!). At every opportunity, Crystal Springs surpassed our expectations. The venue is totally gorgeous, and CS has a variety of vendors they recommend that more than deliver, and work with the CA staff to create your dream wedding. My (bride) parents were so extremely happy with our wedding from start to finish, it meant the world to the groom and I. Each guest told us it was the best wedding they had been too, and then immediately talked about the food! The food is amazing. There is so many options and offerings, our guests were beyond impressed and beyond full. It really is the perfect venue, not only because of the hotel aspect and beauty, but because the CS staff all work as hard as possible to create your dream wedding. They all care, and give it their all. And if you're lucky enough to work with Hector as your maitre d, you will be even more impressed! He's an amazing person who truly cares and treats your wedding like his own. Thanks everyone at CS! You're the best.

On 3/16/24 attended a wedding. Very single employee was profesional, quick to respond and professional! Great job we must acknowledge one person, her name is Lina. She was all of the above and then she added an unmistakable care for the work she did. Keep up the good work, HAP.

I can not say enough about our experience at Crystal Springs. Everyone was so attentive to our needs , from morning to night, the venue was perfection and the food was out of this world. 10 stars if i could

We hosted our wedding at Crystal Springs Country Club at Grand Cascades Lodge in the Emerald Ballroom, utilizing their outdoor ceremony space and cocktail hour in The Rotunda. The views from the ceremony and cocktail hour spaces are incredible - we had a late Fall wedding and the trees combined with the sunset made for stunning pictures. We fell in love with the venue for its combination of elegance and mountain lodge feel, and were enticed by their unique after-party space in the indoor Biosphere pool. Everything was spectacular - from the views, to the food, the accommodations, package options, and more. Our guests were treated to a mini getaway without having to leave the state. The entire wedding team - Jean, Kathleen, our bridal attendant Adrianna, our maitre d Hector, the bartenders, waiters, and after-party lifeguards made our wedding the best weekend of our lives. Thank you to everyone at Crystal Springs for helping us celebrate our love - we are so excited to visit for many anniversaries in the future!

From day one when we saw Black Bear we feel in love with it . It was everything we were looking for . Location , scenery outside and inside the Black Bear and price . Julie Hoffman explained everything that when you left you actually understood how the plan would be . She went over how the packages work . She did it step by step never rushed through the process. She made it feel like you matter never felt like ok hurry up next . She was very professional in all levels . She explained everything to a tee . What we like about Black Bear it was cozy and beautiful they have ample parking space for guest and a very short walk to the entrance of venue . Our Wedding Coordinators were Lee Wild and Silje Rendine they were also excellent to work with . They help us with the food tasting, and gave us a list of different cakes to choose and taste . WOW the cake tasting was also phenomenal , they picking our table cloth . Black Bear also allows you to pick where you want to place the table in your venue . I have no con for Black Bear there all Pros . If I can get married again I would definitely do it at Crystal Spring Black Bear

My husband and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the overall beauty and charm of Grand Cascades Lodge, which made our wedding day truly memorable. The stunning views, exquisite grounds, and the spacious Emerald ballroom were perfect for our celebration. Working with Jean and Sara was generally a positive experience, and their welcoming attitude during our visits meant a lot to us. However, I wanted to share some constructive feedback regarding the planning process. While our customization requests were accommodated, there were communication challenges, especially on the day of the wedding, with multiple points of contact. The food tasting experience was delightful, and we appreciate the effort in accommodating our preferences. Although some dishes at the cocktail hour were well-received, the braised beef dish didn't meet the standard set during the tasting. Unfortunately, there were a few issues during the weekend that impacted our experience: - The memory table candles were not lit until late in the reception, despite prior requests. - Our sweetheart table had a wrinkled tablecloth, affecting the overall presentation. - The florist's flowers for the cake were left with the kitchen staff, and despite assurances, they were not added as planned. - The shuttle service delay inconvenienced elderly guests who had to wait longer than expected.

Crystal Springs was the perfect choice for our daughters wedding. They went above and beyond our expectations. We met first with Jean. She showed us the property and all that it had to offer. Jean was extremely knowledgeable in all the various packages that Crystal Springs had to offer. We then met Sara the wedding coordinator. Sara was absolutely amazing . She responded to all of our emails before the wedding. Sara was very detail orientated. She was extremely organized in every way. The day of the wedding Sara was there to guide our daughter through the day and assist in any way. We can not say enough about Sara. Hector the mai-tre d was also wonderful. He was hands on the whole night, making sure the night ran smooth. He assisted in all aspects of this magical evening. Adrianna was the bridal attendant in the bridal sweet. I honestly did not know what this position entailed yet I can't imagine what we would have done without her. She was calm, made sure our daughter did not want for anything during her preparations. She walked with the wedding party holding the soon to be brides dress and communicating with photographer when needed. Would highly recommend having your wedding here.

From start to finish, Black Bear Golf Club was a dream to work with for our 10/14/23 wedding. Lee was the greatest wedding coordinator a couple could ask for. She dished out helpful advice and suggestions, answered all our questions, and was warm and friendly every step of the way. She was a source of calm on wedding weekend and we're so grateful for her expertise. The food at Black Bear is generous and delicious. Couples have so many tasty options to choose from and your guests will not leave hungry. The cake that Black Bear supplies from Calandra's is equally incredible. The reception area is spacious -- there's two bars, ample seating, and a large dance floor. The room for cocktail hour is a nice inside/outside space, with enough room for guests to spread out, enjoy each other's company, and take in the scenery. It poured on our wedding day, so we weren't able to use the outside ceremony area, but the staff did an incredible job setting up inside -- the extra decorations and touches they added made it feel just as beautiful. If you get married in fall like we did, prepare to be wowed but all of the pumpkins, gourds, mums, and harvest vibes. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the mountains -- our guests couldn't believe how breathtaking they were as the fog rolled in, and the gentle wisps of foliage sprinkled within. Net/net: Black Bear is affordable in terms of the wedding industry; the food is delicious and bountiful; the scenery is beautiful; and the staff is friendly and helpful. I've been replaying this wonderful day in my head endless since the big day. THANK YOU for everything!

The team at crystal springs resort was out of this world for our wedding! Everyone I turned, there was someone waiting to help me with whatever I needed, it truly made me feel the most special on my big day! It was so easy to contact our wedding coordinator, Sara, who was amazing in making sure everything was set up exactly as we wanted!! The communication was awesome, and there was never a question unanswered or problem left unsolved. Everything was done by the team with grace and smiles the whole way. The views were stunning, and the hotel quality and stay was absolutely impeccable. I couldn’t recommend a better venue to have a wedding!

Blue Photography was outstanding...they truly were the most amazing team of photographers! Brian was so personable and easy to work with...his team that came with him were equaly amazing. I highly recommed!!!!! Global DJ was outstanding! They were so much fun and the music kept all on the floor having the time of their lives!

We got married at Ballyowen in October of 2023. We had such an amazing experience from start to finish! The day was everything we could have hoped for and more. The staff made us feel at ease and were such a big help that day. The venue was stunning and all of our guests raved about it. The hills and scenery around the golf course was so beautiful and we had amazing pictures all day and during the ceremony. The food was great and guests even told us they had never eaten so much at a wedding before!

I can’t say enough AMAZING things about this venue. I have wanted to get married here for so many years so of course once I got engaged I ran to this venue within 48 hours of being engaged. That’s how much I love this place. Everything is here..golf, spa, salon, ceremony/reception area and you get the added bonus of a hotel onsite. Plus another hotel down the street if you need extra rooms. It cannot get more convenient than that. Not to mention the staff is amazing..we booked our date with Jean initially and the process with her was SEAMLESS. Easy, straightforward, no surprise fees. And then it only got better..Kathleen, our wedding coordinator, is phenomenal you want someone like her beside you throughout the process and on the big day. There is a reason she’s in this role because this woman is amazing and diligent. I was never scared of how something would look or come out because Kathleen was on top of it the whole time. We ended up getting married in the ballroom since the weather was not ideal outside. Although anyone would be sad to have this change, the venue & Kathleen of course made sure to make it beautiful. The ballroom is gorgeous and let me say I was not disappointed at all. In fact, I forgot about being outside for the ceremony. And then on top of having a coordinator, we had a maitre D, Hector, and a bridal assistant, Sophia. They were so kind and were by my side & my hubby’s side the whole night. They even would make sure my hubby and I got something to eat and drink at all times. They were my right hand the whole night of the wedding. The staff here is nothing less than spectacular. If I could do it again I would pick this venue OVER and OVER. My guests are still talking about how amazing our wedding was. 50000/5 is the review I would give because this place is a dream venue with excellent service and the views are just an added bonus. If you select this venue, you won’t be sorry. I will be dreaming about my wedding weekend for the rest of my life. Thank you Crystal springs and all the staff who helped in making our big day amazing!!

Getting married at Minerals Hotel was the best decision we could have made! I wish I could give it 10 stars! Dana and her team made our day beyond perfect. From the gorgeous venue to the attentive staff Minerals Hotel is the perfect place to hold your wedding! Our guests were treated to a full weekend of events and everyone was raving about the entire weekend. If you’re lucky enough to have Kaya as your bridal attendant your day will be even better. The food was excellent at each event, especially the wedding. My husband and I left saying we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you to the entire Minerals team for giving us the best day of our lives.

We got married at Sweetgrass Pavilion and it was everything we dreamed for and more! We were blessed to have worked with Dana, Kaya, and Terry - those 3 ladies are a powerhouse and will make sure you have absolutely everything you need and more! They were on top of very detail and knew what we needed before we even did! From the start to finish everything was 10/10. We had or ceremony in the wedding garden- the natural greenery and landscaping was stunning! The way the ladies decorated the pavilion was jaw-dropping. We are truly so grateful that we booked with Crystal Springs. It was the best night of our lives all thanks to the amazing team that comes along with booking. I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was!! We highly recommend booking with Crystal Springs!

We had our wedding June 30, 2023 at Grand Cascades. It was an absolutely perfect day. Our guests travelled from all over the country and raved about our venue. They couldn’t believe the quality and quantity of the food. Everything you need is right there and it is above and beyond all over venues we have visited. You really get more for your money here. The fact that guests can stay right on the premises and walk to and from is so convenient and the rooms at GCS are stunning. We had our after party in the biosphere and it was a must. It was so unique and fun. In terms of planning, it couldn’t have gone better. My friends all told me I NEEDED my own planner but when I met Sarah I felt at ease. I didn’t hire one and it was 100% the right decision. I had a long list of questions for Sarah at our planning meeting and I didn’t even need to ask any of them because she covered them all. She is so good at her job and you can rest assured that everything will go off without a hitch. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made the day of seamless and fun. Our groomsmen were difficult and she rallied the troops perfectly. She is excellent and essential. Hector was my bridal attendant and he was a doll. He always had a cold drink for me and he made sure I was comfortable and even kept changing my shoes! He is a calming presence and a perk I didn’t realize I needed. The staff was really all wonderful. It has been three months and we still can’t stop talking about how beautiful and special our day was. It was more than we could have dreamed of and we will cherish it forever! This venue is an excellent choice!

Ballyowen Golf Course at Crystal Springs is a beautiful venue. We had our wedding here and every detail was perfect. The staff are top tier and are incredibly supportive and helpful through the entire planning process. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone.

We got married at the Sweetgrass pavilion at Minerals Hotel. We only toured two venues and knew that this was the one for us. We wanted an outdoor event at a resort where it was an “all in one” vibe. The beautiful wooden pavilion was a romantic unique reception space. Our coordinator Dana through the venue and the bridal attendant Kaya were exceptional in helping make our day as perfect as possible for us - despite weather affecting parts of our day. We had to last minute move our ceremony indoors due to a storm and they both worked so well in what could’ve been pure chaos. Our day ended up so great thanks to the help of the staff. The communication of the wedding team was always excellent. The food and drinks were also so great and our guests all raved about it. The hotel accommodations went smoothly and the views are awesome. Dana even went above and beyond and utilized some of the sites decor as well as my own that I brought in order to bring all of my visions to life with the rest of my vendors. They were also a fairly priced venue. We highly recommend Crystal Springs (especially Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals) for your event. It was a romantic, rustic yet elegant dream come true.

We had an amazing experience with Crystal Springs. The venue was beautiful and food was delicious. It is a great place to be if you are looking to have everything in one place. It felt like going away on vacation despite being 40 minutes from home. Our coordinator Kathleen was very responsive and accommodating. She went out of her way to assist us and ensure our day was perfect.

Choosing to have my wedding at Crystal Springs Resort was the best decision my husband and I made! We were married 7/7/23 at Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals Hotel and as uncommon as a PERFECT wedding day is, ours truly was. From early communication with Rebecca, Wedding Sales Manager, our questions were answered almost immediately every single time! As we got closer to our big day we connected with Dana, Wedding Coordinator, who is a rock star! Not only is she so personable, she is NO BS which ever Bride NEEDS and made sure every thing we envisioned on our wedding day was brought to life down to the tiniest details! Our Maitre D made the decision to bring our ceremony inside, though rain was not in our forecast, and at first I disagreed, however, having so much experience, he knew my guests would have BOILED in the summer sun and set up the indoor option BEAUTIFULLY in front of floor to ceiling windows for a gorgeous view as we said "I do." Reception is where we met our Bridal Attendant, Kaya, though she truly was our best friend for the day! Kaya took care of my husband and I the entire night, whether we needed drinks, food or just a second to be reminded to breathe and soak in the moment. The bartenders would find me on the dancefloor to make sure I was drinking water, our fridge was stocked with cocktail and reception food when we got back to our hotel room at the end of the night. I can go on and on! We saw negative reviews over the year and half we spent planning for our big day so concerns were inevitable, not one guests had a complaint, truly! From food, to accommodations, to hotel activities, every single person had an amazing time; some of which even making a weekend out of it and extending their stays! We kept our party going and spent the next day in the pool drinking rum buckets recapping the magical night before. Check in went smoothly! I remember that being a concern as our ceremony started at 5PM and check in was at 4PM with everything right there on the property, there were no issues to be had. I truly feel spoiled with how well my big day went, but I have to say, having chosen Crystal Springs Resort is what made all of it possible. I can't thank everyone at Minerals Hotel enough! We had the night of our lives!

We got married at Minerals Hotel Sweetgrass Pavilion and had the most perfect day. All of the workers were absolutely fabulous-- very clear communication and so accommodating. It felt like every single worker had a clear goal in making the night perfect for our guests and for me and my husband. From the planning stage to the end of the weekend, our guests raved about the beautiful venue, the delicious food, and how smooth everything went. You know it's good when other people say how perfect everything went! Truly can't find anything to complain about or anything we'd change. Dana, Terry, and Kaya were crucial to making the day go so amazingly-- we couldn't have done it without them! I'd recommend Sweetgrass Pavilion/Minerals Hotel to anyone!

Everyone at Crystal Springs was incredible in making our day perfect. Sara, our wedding coordinator, thought of and carried out every detail beyond what we could have even imagined throughout the entire planning process and through our wedding weekend. On our wedding day, we were assigned a maitre’d and bridal attendant to make sure we had everything we needed. I cannot speak highly enough of those that helped us. The bridal attendant, Bella, not only made sure I had food and water at all times (something I didn’t realize I’d forget to do myself with all of the wedding day jitters), but she also pampered our 1 year old and kept her at bay as the ceremony neared! She played with her and got her any snacks she wanted, which speaks to how much she went above and beyond for us. Our guests are STILL raving to us about how beautiful the venue was, how beyond delicious the food was, and that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We had originally planned to get married in 2020, but ended up postponing until 2023 after the pandemic. Both times, we had incredible experiences. After all of these years, we’ve now been able to enjoy incredible golf outings, spa days, and weekend getaways. Crystal Springs (Grand Cascades Lodge in particular) couldn’t have given us a greater experience.

There are honestly no words that could express our gratitude for the most beautiful wedding ever. From the moment we started working with Dana every detail was managed with perfection! From the set up in the gorgeous garden to the fabulous food and outrageously beautiful Sweetgrass pavilion everything was pure perfection. Dana was a marvel at dealing with every aspect of our wedding and making it a complete success. Everything was so beautiful and the food was so delicious. Also, I would like to mention Kaya our bridal attendant who managed all details on the actual wedding day. There was not a thing that was left to chance. She stayed with us the entire day, driving us around in the golf cart and showing us the best picture shots and hand held the bridal party through every step of the day. She was absolutely amazing! I would not hesitate for one moment to book another wedding here. Everyone at the wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! From the staff, to the venue to the food it was magical.

A friend with great taste recommended the minerals hotel at Crystal Springs Resort to us for a wedding she went to a few years ago. But we had no idea how fabulous the venue, food and service would be. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me during and after the wedding to tell me it was the best wedding they ever attended. My niece who had a six figure wedding at the Rainbow room in nyc and goes to a lot of black tie high end affairs told me the cocktail hour was the best she has even been to. They were always being willing to take my calls and answer all my questions. They were wonderful!! And Dana our wedding coordinator was totally amazing!! She gave us such good advice along the way and really made sure our day went smoothly and we were very well taken care of. And Kaia the day of wedding coordinator assigned to was absolutely amazing!! She was so organized and attentive. We have never experienced or expected anything like what she did for us the whole day and evening. My daughter and new son-in-law told me after the wedding that if they had designed their perfect wedding, this was it!! Thank you for a truly amazing experience and helping to make my daughter’s dream come true!!

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Ballyowen this past weekend. My guests were blown away that they were still in NJ. The rolling hills, open skies, & lush greenery gives you the feel of a destination wedding without going far. Aside from dressing like a princess in my dress, the staff made me feel like one! On top of the beautiful ambiance and amazing staff.. the food was delectable!

We got married on April 1, 2023. The entire staff, especially our Wedding Coordinator, Kathleen, and the maître de & bridal attendant, Hector & Amber, were fantastic. The day was absolutely perfect and a complete dream. Our journey with Crystal Springs Grand Cascades Lodge started in February 2022 when we visited the resort and boked out wedding. We worked with the sales coordinator, Jean, through the entire process and were able to get all our food and beverage needs met. She is very responsive and attentive to your needs (and wants) and was able to make the entire booking process easy. Jean was very kind to our parents and was very professional and responsive when I would panic or become frazzled. Thank you, Jean! A month or so before the wedding, Kathleen made sure we were part of a group tasting and had several meetings/calls/emails with us about the events. The day before the wedding, my family and most of our guests arrived to check in and some for the rehearsal and dinner in the Chestnut Room. Kathleen kept everyone organized even when we all were late and handled last minute problems for me! I am sure something went wrong during our Wedding Day, but I have no idea because she seemed to take care of everything. My husband and I had two ceremonies, and both were supposed to be outdoor. Due to the rain, they were moved into the Emerald Ballroom. I was initially upset because my vision was to have them outside, but my decorator and Kathleen made my first ceremony look stunning. After the first ceremony, we had lunch downstairs in the banquet rooms and the sun came out. I asked Kathleen if the second ceremony could be outside, and she immediately said yes and had her team coordinate to bring some of the décor outside. I was thrilled and so happy with how everything turned out. I got the best of both worlds. After the ceremonies, our families enjoyed a cocktail hour in the Rotunda. After each ceremony, Kathleen shouted the names from my photo list so we could have pictures with both sides of our family and extended family. She kept the pace and made sure we stuck to my itinerary. I am so thankful she was able to keep everything organized and moving, especially with so many people. Thank you, Kathleen!!! As the cocktail hour / reception started, Hector and Amber started taking care of us. Amber set up the bridal suite beautifully for my husband and me with roses and champagne, and made sure all the food was heated for us to share. It was so sweet. The entire night Hector and Amber made sure we ate, had lots of drinks, and that anything we wanted was taken care of! They were fantastic and truly made us feel like royalty. Amber even made sure we had a second dinner because she noticed w did not eat much! Thank you, Amber! After the reception, we had an after party at the Biosphere. Hector helped me and my friends take everything from the Bridal Suite to my room so we would not leave anything behind. He was so attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. Thank you, Hector! Overall, we had the most beautiful and gorgeous wedding and experience possible at Crystal Springs Grand Cascades Lodge. I cannot thank Kathleen, Jean, Amber, Hector, and all the staff for the amazing job they did to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. I highly recommend Crystal Springs Resort for any and all events. It is a beautiful location with highly trained staff who will go the extra mile many times! THANK YOU!!

We got married at Mineral's Hotel in the Sweetgrass Pavilion on April 29, 2023. From start to finish Mineral's Hotel took care of everything, Dana and Rebecca were extremely responsive and helpful in every step of the wedding planning process. We were able to make it a full wedding weekend with the Wine Cellar dinner, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and morning after brunch. We were able to plan everything with Dana and Rebecca and they were extremely accommodating for every single guest and every question we had. On the day of the wedding, Kay handled all of our needs and made sure everyone was in place. She also made sure we were fully taken care of at all times. The food was incredible and all of the guests raved about it. We cannot express enough how much everyone made the weekend go so smoothly for us and that we did not have to worry about anything. It was truly a stress free weekend where we got to enjoy our company.

We had such a wonderful and positive experience with this venue. Everything was absolutely perfect and we had the best day ever!!!! The entire staff were so helpful and the food was amazing. Wish we could get married all over again.

We chose Crystal Springs for our wedding on 3/11/23 and it did not disappoint. It was truly the most magical day! After experiencing my sister get married there in 2016, I knew it was where I wanted to celebrate my most special day as well. My husband, being the avid golfer that he is, did not take much convincing. We did an 11 month engagement and the process was seamless from start to finish. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. I have to give a special shout out to Sara, my wedding coordinator. I don’t think the day would have gone so smoothly without her expertise. She was absolutely fantastic and so attentive to each and every detail. She handled everything on the day of as well and I was able to truly relax and enjoy myself. Hector, our Maitre D, and Amber, our bridal attendant, were excellent as well! The only downside we faced was the expense of the hotel rooms on site at Grand Cascade. Due to the cost of any room in Grand Cascade, some guests were left to find other accommodations. Overall, we had an excellent experience and our wedding day was truly special. Crystal Springs helped turn our wedding dreams into a reality.

Gorgeous venue, amazing food! Kathleen and wedding team were so helpful and made the day flow seamlessly. Our family and friends were blown away by the whole weekend. We had a morning after brunch and stayed a few extra days at the resort for a mini-moon.

I am not sure there are words to describe how wonderful this venue and team are. My husband loves luxury and I loves country, we wanted something that would give both of these vibes. We were pampered all weekend long and so were our guests. We loved this venue because everything could be done here- we had our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party all on site. We also had everyone get ready at the hotel, the bridal suite is adorable and has everything you need. The guys got ready in our suite. John, the head chef, and his team are magicians in the kitchen. It is not easy cooking 197 meals that all need to go out at pretty much the same time. Everyone raved about the food at the cocktail hour and the reception. The kitchen is able to accommodate all diets- we had vegan, kosher, dairy free and gluten free. They were also able to order a pizza for 2 of our cousins who are autistic and only eat pizza. Kathleen was our coordinator and my goodness she has patience! She helped me through family drama, planning needs, day of concerns, and so much more. I contemplated getting a day of coordinator separate from what CSR provides but after speaking with Kathleen I felt there was no need. She was able to handle the few DIY details I had. We did our after party at the pool and if you can swing it I would highly suggest doing it. It was the best way to end the night! I seriously can't say enough from the front desk, to the GM, the entire banquet office... everyone was lovely. If you are looking for a place that can do it all and do it all well- this is your place!

We had our wedding at Grand Cascades in December 2022 and we can honestly say that the staff and venue met and exceeded every expectation we had. Crystal Springs was incredible in every way including service, food, value, attention to detail, and just the overall ambiance of the hotel and the venue. Kathleen, our coordinator, was honestly a rock star in so many ways and was there at a moment's notice whenever we needed her. We had a few last minute requests that Kathleen handled with grace and ease and always seemed to be one step ahead of our requests. I cannot say enough good things about her quality service and helpfulness!!! Our Maitre D' Hector and Bridal Attendant Julianna were equally amazing. Julianna was extremely helpful and always by our side whenever we needed anything during the wedding day, as was Hector. In terms of the cocktail hour, the food was delicious and extremely plentiful. We went with the platinum package and our guests were not disappointed with any of the selections. We were able to try a few of the apps ourselves, which were delicious, but our guests have since raved to us about the food and how amazing it was. Moving on to the reception. In terms of food and service, again, everything was first rate. We had the fig and arugula salad first, which was already plated as the guests entered and then after introductions/dances the mushroom and truffle bisque was served. The salad was good, but the soup was amazing! My husband finished his whole bowl even after we ate plenty of appetizers. Our dinner options were the seared chicken breast, the steak, and the Moroccan sea bass.  Again our guests raved about the food and most of the plates we saw were eaten clean. During the reception the head chef even came to our table to see how we liked the food which was an awesome touch. The steak meal was honestly the best steak I've ever had at a wedding (i know we're biased). The chef shared that all of the steaks were sous vide and it was apparent by how delicious they were. Again, this is just another testament to the attention to detail and the overall service level of Crystal Springs. The rest of the party was amazing and went by in the blink of an eye. Bartenders and wait staff were outstanding and kept the open bar flowing the entire night. Fun was certainly had by all who attended. For our after-party we opted to do it in the Biosphere pool which I would also say is a must do. Some of our guests were a little hesitant when we told them to pack a swimsuit, but I can honestly say that everyone who came down to the pool had an after-party they will never forget. The ambiance was again amazing and was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The day after the wedding we held a breakfast for our guests in the Rotunda room, which was really nice as well. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed being back in the beautiful room one last time. Definitely a good option if you're considering it. We were also able to pick up all of our decorations, bridal suite items, and wedding "stuff" the following day from Kathleen. Everything was neatly packaged and labeled and not one thing was lost, broken, or left behind. Again I cant express how amazing the wedding staff is at Crystal Springs and I would tell anyone interested in this venue to 100% book it. Our guests LOVED the hotel and equally loved the venue. Our only regret from the weekend is that the wedding is over and we can't do the whole thing again!

We had a wonderful experience at the Crystal Springs Resort. We did an indoor wedding in the emerald ballroom. The staff were great at handling things the day of, ensuring there was no extra stress. The food is also amazing. I will say that this venue is pricey.

We had our wedding reception in the Emerald Ballroom at Crystal Springs Resort in June 2022. From the moment we viewed the ballroom, we knew it was the PERFECT location to celebrate our special day! I loved staying over the night before our wedding, hanging out with all of our friends & family around the fire pits & being able to wake up and go right to the bridal suite to start our day! I am thankful for such great weather, the grounds of Grand Cascades are PERFECT for photos at any time of the day! The food was amazing at cocktail hour & the reception! Sara, our wedding coordinator, went above & beyond to make our day so special. She truly cares about your wedding & it shows! She made sure everything went so smoothly & we did not have to worry about one thing. She even helped with our children while we were taking photos, making sure they were content- she truly is the best! We were able to attend the entire cocktail hour but they made sure there was food in the bridal suite for us. I HIGHLY recommend having an after party in the biosphere! My guests still talk about it! Where else can you have a wedding & end the night by going down a slide in the most beautiful pool? We highly recommend this beautiful resort for your wedding

My wife and I got married at Crystal Springs Resort in the Grand Cascades Ballroom in August 2022. I would say most couples worry about at least one thing or detail on the day of their wedding but due to the extremely high and quality service of Kathleen and her team, we did not have to worry about one thing. When there were obstacles that came up, they used an agile approach and were flexible with any requests along the way. Kathleen and Jean were extremely communicable and the service from both my wife and I's Maitre D's was flawless. The night moved as fluent as possible and all the planning to get to that point was as easy as possible from the Crystal Spring service. When we asked for recommended vendors, we were provided an extensive list of individuals within different pricing buckets that were all familiar with the venue. Our day blew our expectations out of the water. One thing that our guests could not stop talking about was the quality of the food (and service that came with it). We come from large families that do not hold back their thoughts and with almost 200 people in attendance, you're bound to hear some constructive criticism somewhere. Over the past 4 months with the holidays just passing, we have seen about 3/4 of the wedding attendants and everyone to date was still drooling over the food and reminiscing over the picture-esque venue that is Crystal Springs. All in all, there is not enough good things I could say about this venue. Our day was perfect in every sense of the word. Kristen and I appreciate everything this venue and our vendors provided us.

Amazing service! We are so happy to share our best experience with everybody! This place is amazing! The staff is very nice and professional! We wish to all of you happy Winter Holidays! :)

To the brides and grooms who say they don’t eat on their wedding day, Crystal Springs makes it impossible for you to miss a meal! We have a massive platter of cheese in our room before cocktail hour and another cocktail hour course awaiting us before reception began. Everything was so beautiful and big about our to Chef John! He was so accommodating with everything and really made us feel so special! Would definitely recommend getting married here, it was truly perfect!

Our daughter got married on 10/21/2022 and chose Crystal Springs Country Club/Resort for its beauty at that time of year and so we could have the whole weekend experience. We were not disappointed and have to commend the resort staff for their professionalism and experience. First, the venue itself was spectacular. We had an outdoor, sunset service in the Wedding Garden followed by a fantastic cocktail hour in the Rotunda. The reception in the Emerald Room was also amazing. Our wedding coordinator, Sara McManus was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs, especially as the day drew closer. Helping to manage our list of guests staying at the resort she was very responsive to emails and calls. The professionalism and experience of all the staff was so amazing, from Brett the Banquet Manager to Hector the Maitre d' to the assigned Bridal and Groom attendants made the whole weekend a fantastic affair. Even the chef came out at the reception to check on how dinner was...and it was amazing. Our guests all raved about the wait staff, bartenders, the food and accommodations. They really know what they are doing and have the staff to help you every step of the way. It was truly a memorable affair.

From the moment we stepped into Crystal Springs Country Club, we knew this was our dream venue. It provides the perfect balance of rustic, elegance, and nature vibes. From day one, our wedding planning experience was seamless. Kathleen, our coordinator, absolutely crushed it! She was so helpful, organized, and just a genuinely lovely person. It was incredible to see her bring our vision to life on wedding day. We wouldn't change a single thing. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We continue to receive amazing feedback from our guests about how great the staff was, how delicious the food was, how beautiful the venue was, how nice the hotel rooms are - I could go on and on. Our Maître d and Bridal Attendant were extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire night - we were able to enjoy the night because of their coordination and help. And the cherry on top - we hosted our after party at the Biosphere Pool and it was a HUGE hit!!! People will talk about our wedding for years to come because of the pool. The only negative comment I had about the entire day was that my parent's hotel room was on the completely opposite side of the hotel from the bridal suite. We kept all of our dresses, details, accessories, steamers etc. in their room so did A LOT of walking back and forth to get everything into the bridal suite. We would 10000% choose Crystal Springs Country Club again (I honestly wish I could go back and throw our wedding all over again!) They are a well-oiled machine that makes wedding planning easy and delivers a top-notch experience for both the couple and the guests.

MY younger brother had his wedding at Crystal Springs Resort earlier this fall. The staff was so helpful and kind, and everything went perfectly. Kaia, the bridal attendant, was the hero of the entire day and I could go on and on about how helpful and fun she was.

We truly loved everything about Minerals Resort and Spa. The location and resort is beautiful and the staff was so sweet! Dana, Kaya, and Saad made our day/night flow flawlessly and we were so grateful. Our wedding day was complete perfection!!
