Crystal Mountain

ct, everything we could have wished for. The night before we had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on the Level4 lounge. Our ceremony was on the mountain top with our reception on the lodge deck and pavilion. We had 170 people attend our wedding and continue to hear incredible feedback about our weekend. The whole process from touring, booking and planning all the way through wedding weekend exceeded expectations. Our coordinator was Sandy, she made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She is excellent and you can tell that she truly cares about her couples and loves her job. I can’t say enough kind words about Sandy and her work. The property is beautiful, staff are so kind and accommodating, catering is excellent! All the restaurants and activities to do on property are such a plus for friends and family traveling in. I truly mean it when I say we had the wedding of our dreams at Crystal Mountain. We are so happy with our decision to book Crystal and will come back to visit for years to come. 1000/10 recommend if you’re looking for a northern Michigan wedding venue! 

over the venue, lodging, chairlift ride and so much more. Our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party was the perfect way to hang out with friends and family staying on site the day before. There are lots of gorgeous photo locations all over the campus with stunning landscaping all summer long. I would not change a thing about this venue, pure perfection!!

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. Check out all of our beautiful photos by Paige Risku Photography.

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!

responds promptly, and is experienced in the wedding industry. LGBTQ affirming, staff was amazing for our 2 bride wedding Lower cost for venues than others in the area Everything is onsite (hotels, transportation, etc) Beautiful venue Cons: Hotel is pricey for guests

n’t our style. Everything was beautiful from the mountain top ceremony to the reception tent ant the bottom of the hill, and everyone loved the chairlift. Extra bonus for being pet friendly! They let my 10 year old dog walk me down the aisle. Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience.

id a wonderful job supporting us and rolling with the punches, from planning through to the wedding weekend.
