The best day ever!

My husband and I made the best decision and decided upon Crystal Mountain for our wedding ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments on everything! The food was incredible (the duck wontons changed our lives), the service provided by the wait staff was amazing! We chose the mountain top with the ski lift ride up to the top. The view was amazing, I look at the pictures weekly and still dream about our wedding day. It really was magical. Our guests said it was one of the most unique ceremony experiences, our friends and family are still talking about it :) Erin was our coordinator, and she was so helpful! Not only did she help ensure everything ran smoothly the day of, but she was communicative during the whole process and responded promptly to any questions that we had. From someone who does not like to host or plan, Erin's calming demeanor was very much appreciated on our wedding day with an anxious bride. If you are looking into venues, I would highly recommend Crystal Moutain. My favorite part of the weekend was having our friends and family rent condos or stay in one of the beautiful lodges. Everyone enjoyed themselves, kids went to the pool, and the adults enjoyed themselves. We REALLY enjoyed the weekend with everyone that we love the most!

Exceptional!

From the first time viewing the property until the wedding day, everything was top notch. We didn’t feel pressured or forced into agreeing to something we didn’t want, the staff was so kind and caring about all details, and in general, they were a breeze to work with. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to all couples!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
