Where is the hotel and how do I book my room?
There are two hotels with room blocks for the wedding: Grand Cascades Lodge (on-site of the wedding at Crystal Springs Resort) and Minerals Hotel (7 minutes down the road).
To book at either hotel, please call Crystal Springs Resort 877-705-2286 to book over the phone and be sure to mention the Villano/Curry-Modula wedding for the discounted rate. Unfortunately, in order to get the discounted rate you must book by phone, not online. There is limited availability in the block so please book soon!
What is the difference between Crystal Springs Resort and Grand Cascades Lodge?
Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, NJ encompasses two distinct lodging options: Grand Cascades Lodge (where the wedding is taking place) and Minerals hotel (7 minutes down the road). While they are both part of the same resort and located 3 miles apart, they offer different experiences tailored to various preferences and budgets.
If you put Grand Cascades Lodge in your GPS it will say 3 Wild Turkey Way. If you put Crystal Springs Resort in your GPS it will say 1 Wild Turkey Way, Hamburg, NJ 07419. Either address is fine to use as they are both located in the same place.
Should I be staying both Friday and Saturday?
While we encourage everyone to take advantage of the resort activities and discounted rate, there is no pressure to stay both Friday and Saturday night. While there is nothing official planned for Friday night, we will likely stop by Crystal Tavern, the bar/restaurant located in Grand Cascades, around 7:30pm on Friday night if anyone is interested in joining! Kids are also welcome.
Is there anything happening on Friday night before the wedding?
While there is nothing official planned for Friday night, we will likely stop by Crystal Tavern, the bar/restaurant located in Grand Cascades, around 7:30pm on Friday night if anyone is interested in joining! Kids are also welcome.
Do I need to prepare transit accommodations to/from the hotel, ceremony, or reception?
Great news—our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place at the same venue, so no need to worry about traveling between locations. If you’re staying at the main hotel Grand Cascades, everything is just steps away!
For guests staying down the road at the Minerals Hotel, we will be providing shuttle service for the 7-10 minute ride to the wedding. Please plan your departure time accordingly. Shuttle leaves at 4:20pm and 4:40pm on Saturday.
Can I bring a plus one?
We’re so excited to celebrate with all of our favorite people! Due to venue capacity and our hope to keep the celebration intimate, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. If your invite includes “and Guest,” you’re welcome to bring a plus one—otherwise, we appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Are young kids welcome?
While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to keep our celebration to a young-adults+ only event. If your invite says “The Smith Family,” that means your kids are included—we can’t wait to see you there!
Is there a pool at the hotel?
There is an indoor pool at both Minerals Hotel and Grand Cascades Lodge. Since the wedding will take place after Labor Day, the outdoor pools will most likely be closed at both locations. Please check the Crystal Springs Resort website for additional details.
Why can I not find my name on the RSVP list?
If you are having issues finding your name when you RSVP, kindly try all names and full name variations in your party. If still unsuccessful, please reach out to Laura or Tommy for help!
Is there a shuttle service from Mineral Hotel?
Yes, for guests staying down the road at the Minerals Hotel, we will be providing shuttle service for the 7-10 minute ride to the wedding. Please plan your departure time accordingly. Shuttle leaves at 4:20 and 4:40pm on Saturday.
Is there a registry?
No, we’re so grateful to have everything we need (and not a lot of space to store more!). If you’d like to contribute to our next chapter—whether it’s travel, a future home, or just life together—we’d be incredibly thankful for a monetary gift. Your love and presence are truly the greatest gifts of all.
What will your new names be?
Tommy (James) Curry-Modula & Laura (Marie Villano) Curry
