Our Special Day


A Dream Wedding Experience!

Our wedding on June 24, 2023, at Crystal Springs Resort was an absolute fairytale, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day! We first wanted to thank Kathleen, Sophia, and Hector! They helped our day flow well and took away all our stress! From the stunning Emerald Ballroom to the breathtaking cocktail hour in the Rotunda Room, and the unforgettable after-party at the Biosphere Pool and Grand Cascades Hotel, Crystal Springs Resort truly exceeded all expectations.

The Emerald Ballroom provided the most enchanting setting for our ceremony and reception. The elegant decor, beautiful chandeliers, and grand architecture set the stage for a truly magical celebration. The venue's staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to focus solely on enjoying our wedding day to the fullest.

The cocktail hour in the Rotunda Room was nothing short of amazing. The space was not only visually stunning but also exuded a warm and inviting ambiance. Our guests were captivated by the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, and the carefully crafted hors d'oeuvres and drinks were an absolute delight for the palate. The impeccable service and attention to every guest's needs made the cocktail hour a memorable experience for everyone.

The after-party at the Biosphere Pool and Grand Cascades Hotel was an absolute blast! It was the perfect way to keep the celebration going well into the night. The Biosphere Pool area created an atmosphere of pure fun and relaxation, and our guests had an incredible time dancing and mingling under the stars. The setting was unique and unforgettable, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience for our wedding guests.

The Grand Cascades Hotel served as a magnificent backdrop for our entire wedding weekend. The luxurious accommodations and impeccable service offered a comfortable and enjoyable stay for both us and our guests. The resort's amenities, including the spa and golf courses, provided endless opportunities for relaxation and entertainment.

Throughout the entire planning process, Kathleen and the Crystal Springs Resort team was a joy to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for making our wedding day special were evident in every interaction. They were responsive to all our inquiries and worked closely with us to bring our vision to life.

Our wedding at Crystal Springs Resort was truly a dream come true. The picturesque surroundings, stunning venues, and top-notch service made it an unforgettable experience for us and all our guests. If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers beauty, luxury, and exceptional hospitality, Crystal Springs Resort should be at the top of your list. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Michelle and James

The perfect wedding location!

Crystal Springs is an incredible wedding location to enjoy your entire wedding weekend. The location is absolutely stunning for pictures, with an amazing sunset. The ballroom is beautiful and elegant for a classic wedding feel. And all our guests raved about the food (and the cocktail hour selections are incredible!)

We had our reception at the Emerald Ballroom and most of our guests stayed at Grand Cascades Lodge and Minerals Hotel (they offer great wedding block rates). From the day we arrived at the hotel until leaving, the entire staff, from the valets to the bartenders, were incredibly helpful and friendly. They truly do everything to make your weekend wonderful.

Sara was an amazing coordinator and made the process so easy. She was so responsive and helpful with all our questions the months leading up to the wedding, and on the weekend of the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly. I can honestly say not one thing went wrong on our wedding day and it is largely because Sara and her team are so amazing.

We could not be happier with our entire experience with Crystal Springs!
