Beautiful wedding venue
Grand Cascades Wedding :)
Next, we went over to the Grand Cascades Lodge and was given a tour by Jean. Once we drove up the driveway I was in love with the property that was nestled in the mountains and surrounded by trees.> that I knew would look amazing in October when the leaves all started changing. Jean was fantastic to work with when it came to what we were looking for. I.e. venue, accommodations, rehearsals, after party’s. They have it covered. We were able to get a hotel room block secured for our guests for both properties so guests would be able to book slightly cheaper rooms at Minerals. We were also able to secure transportation for the day of for those guests through the property. But it was a one stop, all inclusive wedding package!
The food was phenomenal, the cake a drinks were awesome. I had gone through New City Florist for the most gorgeous flowers, but the fact that the resort had mums and foliage everywhere added to the ambiance! We met our Event Coordinator, Sara M, during our wedding tasting. She was a life saver throughout the entire planning process. Every time I would have a question or inquiry, she would have an answer or solution. Her energy and enthusiasm created the perfect atmosphere for wedding planning. It definitely kept me going on days I was feeling a little overwhelmed. The day of our wedding was like a dance. Everything had been planned, coordinated and organized. The day flowed smoothly, just a little too quick! :) For the bridal suite we had Lena and Anna, our room attendants. Lovely and fantastic! Both Sara and Hector, our Maitre D, were with us throughout the start of the ceremony to the end of the reception, making sure we stayed on schedule. They even made sure we were able to eat at cocktail hour and see the Emerald Ballroom set up before any of the guests entered.> .and we may have practiced a quick first dance.
I can’t describe how appreciative I am to have the entire CSR team supporting us throughout our wedding experience! We had our rehearsal dinner in the wine cellar the night before. The ambiance of the Bordeaux room was perfect. And once again, the food did not disappoint! They have a wine tasting and tour there as well, which we ended up doing twice. One other time with my bridal party. I used the Hair and Makeup Stylists through the resort Spa and had a trial run done at Elements. Again, everyone was so sweet and professional. And they definitely know how to glam up even a tom boy such as myself. The rooms are gorgeous and convenient. I would definitely pay slightly extra again for the 1 king bedroom suite. It was nice to have a full kitchen and balcony. My sisters had gotten regular rooms, which were still great, but I love the option of heating up some late night snacks. Our room actually came with the wedding package! And we chose to extend and extra 2 days. I would highly recommend this venue.
Thank you so much to everyone at the resort! For your kindness, professionalism, and keeping me on track when the planning seemed to be non stop.

An Unforgettable Venue with Incredible Service
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous views and the convenience of having our guests stay right on site. The food was delicious, and the dance floor was the perfect size so everyone could celebrate without feeling crowded. We had several bridal party members with severe allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure they were safe and still able to enjoy full meals at the rehearsal, cocktail hour, and reception — something we appreciated so deeply.
And the afterparty at the Biosphere? An absolute blast! It was such a unique and memorable way to end the night, and our guests had the time of their lives. We cannot recommend Crystal Springs Resort enough for a truly unforgettable wedding experience.
