About Crystal Cove

Crystal Cove is a waterfront wedding venue in the Albany, New York area. This vintage barn’s nature-filled location provides couples a romantic escape on their wedding day. The commute to this venue is a quick twenty-minute drive east from the Hudson River in Albany. The property sits on the shores of Crystal Lake, near St. Henry’s Church.

We got married at Crystal Cove in Averill Park, NY on July 28th, 2018 and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. This venue was exactly what we had in mind, by the water with great views perfect for my summer wedding with so many choices from the setting of the ceremony to the menu, the options are endless. The owners are so personable and very flexible, they provide so much support throughout the process and make you feel at ease. They go out of out of their way to make your special day perfect. Check this place out you will not be disappointed.

Everything was amazing! Crystal cove is a beautiful location by the water. The owners and all employees were very attentive and accommodating. The food was DELICIOUS and the carving stations were a big hit with my guests. I also loved the openness of the reception building and the wrap around deck. We highly recommend crystal cove!

My husband and I fell in love with this venue the moment we saw it. Frank and Ruth were warm and welcoming. We wanted an outdoor venue but wanted the convienence of everything included which Crystal Cove offered. Frank and Ruth were great to work with. Our wedding day was everything we wanted. There was a small miscommunication about what time the reception ended but was resolved quickly and Frank and Ruth were gracious enough to let the party go on later than they planned. My guests raved about the food and good time was had by all. Thank you Frank and Ruth!
