- Cheree CooperOwnerI started this business with my Best Friend and Sister, Stacey! We have over 25 years experience in the entertainment industry, but always longed to express our creative side. We purchased The Crystal Coop in 2017 and after a long 9 months of work we opened our Dream Business in August 2018. I am reminded every time I see a new couple exchange their vows why I love what I do!

Stacey and Cheree at the Crystal Coop are the most caring, hard working, and professional business owners. We had so many questions and requests, but they always responded right away and helped reassure us. They even made special accommodations for us so we could come in and practice our first dance at the venue in advance of our wedding day!!! I apologize, because I can’t remember her name, but the bartender at the Crystal Coop is hands down my favorite of the night. She is so genuine, warm, caring, friendly….I can’t say enough good things. If you want a wedding that is as stress free as possible, while being absolutely beautiful, look no further than the Crystal Coop!!!

I want to get married all over again just to be able to experience this venue again. From the moment I toured until the moment I left the venue after my reception had ended, the staff and Chere were amazing. This staff helped my dreams come true and helped the day go so smooth.
The Crystal Coop is truly a perfect venue with different options to make different visions come to life.
Future brides, you are missing out if you don’t look here!

The Crystal Coop was the perfect venue for our October wedding. It was affordable and able to hold our large guest count. We loved the bride and groom suites and the versatility of the venue. Everyone we worked with was great. We used the platinum package and it literally was the best choice hands down. It saved us so much money and helped us from buying items we would never use again. They took our vision and put it into reality. Our guests raved about the décor and how great it looked. Even with the venue being a barn it was easy to change the vibe with our design and décor choices which was amazing. They set up and tore down which meant we didn't have to worry about it or ask our family to worry about it. Being able to relax and get ready while they set it all up was a blessing! We can't thank Cheree and Stacey enough for helping us make our day amazing.

We had our wedding in October at The Crystal Coop and it was a beautiful day. We added the Platinum package.
The venue is stunning with many wonderful areas for photos. The outdoor ceremony area was one of the main reasons we chose this venue due to the long walkway and natural-looking altar with scenic views behind it. Another reason we chose this venue was due to the large porch that could of easily been transformed into an indoor ceremony for inclement weather. Fortunately we only had to use the porch for cocktail hour and gifts/guest book. The reception area is beautifully painted and lit with chandeliers. We chose to have the bridal party sit in front of the grand fireplace, but had so many available options for floor plans. The bride and groom suites were so nicely decorated and clean as well as the kitchen with a provided farm table for other vendors to eat at during their shift at your event.
The added Platinum package was a huge bonus for us- Stacey and Cheree + staff were such a huge help in decorating for our day and truly took so much stress off throughout the whole planning process with 3 simple but important meetings. Plus, this package allows you to choose from their decor so you are not stuck with many wedding items after your big day. Highly recommend the package if it's do-able for you! Also, we hired their staff to cut & serve our cake which was great so our guests could all spend time together without someone stepping away to do that.
Lastly, we attended the bridal expo that this venue hosts in March and we hired nearly all of our vendors from this event. It was reassuring to us knowing they had collaborated with each other before and were also familiar with Stacey and Cheree.
Highly recommend!
