Nothing but positive feedback

Crystal Peak made our dream wedding into a reality. The beautiful scenery and decor indoor sold us! The food was delicious and seasonal drinks were fantastic as well! The added bonus was how amazing John and his team were was start to finish. John responded to our emails as soon as he could and answered any questions we had. The price is very fair for everything you get with your venue packages! Our day went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy our meals, and still have time to dance/chat with guests. I can’t think of anything negative to say about Crystal Peak!

Can’t recommend Crystal peak enough!

We had an absolute amazing time! My husband and I got married here on April 25th 2026. The whole process pre-wedding was smooth. We met John for a meeting and just fell in love with the venue and John as the owner. The menu is extensive and meets the needs of any pallet!
We were organizing and planning our wedding from Colorado, and John was very responsive and easy to get ahold of via email. I was never worried about payments, setting up tastings, and he even was quick to respond when I needed measurements for the decorations.
The tasting, my goodness, we were all blown away! As a chef, you can tell John takes pride in every dish he puts out.
Week of communication was spectacular to set up final details. We took pictures of everything on how we’d like to set it up and the team put everything together so quick. We also took pictures and had an allergy packet of the guests that had allergies so the staff could give them separate dishes and not have anyone have a medical emergency.
While John had a positive attitude all week (I think he was trying to manifest beautiful weather for our day), it was rainy and cold so we held our wedding indoors. The whole staff did a wonderful job making the space as beautiful as I could have imagined. Everything was seamless and his daughter was a super star in helping me with my dress.
The team made sure all the guests were fed and happy as we got our pictures taken, and they made sure we followed a good pace for all of traditional wedding (walk-ins, dances, cake cutting).
Cleanup was so easy and the team helped package everything up and made sure we had everything. They even sent us home with food that was left over (which was amazing because after filling up on small plates, we were hungry during dinner so we ate the leftovers at the air bnb after the wedding).
Everyone has been raving about how delicious the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and how incredible the staff are.
I’m so thankful we had our wedding here and I can’t recommend it enough. Crystal peak 10/10

Excellent day!

From beginning to end we could not have asked for better service from John and the crew from Crystal Peak. Our questions and requests to John leading up to the reception were always meet with professionalism and flexibility. The day was extremely hot but nevertheless, the staff was attentive and hard at work. The grounds and facility were well landscaped, clean and fresh. All raved about the food Crystal Peak prepared! There is no wonder why Crystal Peak has received recognition as a great banquet facility. My recommendation is a big thumbs up!

Most Magical Wedding Ever!

My husband and I said "I do" at Crystal Peak this Spring, and it was truly the most magical experience. John Roller and his team went above and beyond! Most people say that they were not able to enjoy dinner at their wedding, yet this was not my experience at all: not only did my server bring me a full tray of hors d'oeuvres before the reception, but we also had the time to sit down and eat the delicious meals prepared for us because of how efficient and proactive the Crystal Peak team was. We truly could not have imagined our special day anywhere else.

Perfect Venue

Simply the best. Crystal Peak went above and beyond for our wedding reception. The service was top-tier, the atmosphere was magical, and the staff's professionalism is unmatched. They handled every request with a 'can-do' attitude and made our guests feel incredibly welcome. They made the most important day of our lives truly unforgettable!

This venue needs more attention- highly recommend!

We recently got married at Crystal Peak and John and his team absolutely exceeded expectations! They are highly organized and will make your special day worry-free. Every question I had throughout the planning process, John would respond quickly and with solutions. The ceremony space is beautiful, the reception area has plenty of room for eating AND dancing, and the bridal suite is lovely for getting ready. We had two vendors that required set up: a flower wall and an artist. John made sure they had designated spots and everything they needed. The food was DELICIOUS, there was never a long line at the bar, and cleaning up at the end of the night was a breeze. I was a little worried that we would have to set everything up and designate a clean up crew at the end of the night, but the team took care of it (just make sure you bring boxes with clear labels). Crystal Peak has fair pricing, delicious food, a beautiful location, and a fantastic team. HIGHLY recommend!

Incredible Venue and staff!

Crystal Peak was absolutely incredible! The service and attention to detail were unmatched, and the food had all of our guests raving. John, the owner, went above and beyond to cater to our every need and made us feel so special. Even during cocktail hour, he brought drinks and hors d’oeuvres to us while we were taking pictures, so my groom and I were able to relax and enjoy the moment.

His staff were amazing organized, attentive, and working seamlessly as if they were all family. Everything ran so smoothly, and I am completely blown away by how perfect our day turned out at this venue. I would highly recommend Crystal Peak to anyone looking for a beautiful space with exceptional service!

Perfect venue, perfect agenda, perfect team

I loved working with John Roller and his team. He has been doing this for so long that it is seamless and perfect. The food was abundant and incredible and he is not only overseeing the flow but also in the kitchen as the chef that is making sure dishes come out great. His team is friendly and always smiling. John took the time to have us tour the beautiful venue between getting ready for another event, plus the tasting was like an experience of eating at a 5-star restaurant. The agreement was completely transparent with everything priced out as well as any add-ons. He keeps you informed every step of the way with reminders of what to bring for the final meeting. He is versed on the ceremony line up and walk in as well. Everything was so inclusive and so much effort was put in by him and his staff to make the day perfect. I am so happy I did something right for one of the most important events of my life by working with John Roller and his team at his gorgeous venue. You know it was great when all your friends and family members change their Facebook photo to them outside by the koi pond or in the celebration room!
