Best Day Ever

CT Wedding Group is absolutely incredible! As a bride juggling graduate school on top of working full time, I needed help keeping all the details straight and sticking to a timeline for all wedding planning purposes! CT Wedding Group helped with all the planning and more! They are incredibly helpful and very friendly, willing to help in any and every way possible so my husband and I could have the best day ever! On the day of our wedding everything was perfect! We didn’t have to worry about anything, our amazing Day of Coordinator, Sean, took care of it all, keeping us on schedule, organized, and well fed. The food was spectacular and bountiful, our guests are still complimenting us a week later saying how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is! Thank you so much to everyone’s hard work we had the most special and perfect wedding day!

10/5/24 wedding!

Our perfect, flawless wedding day was 10/5/24. When we first started searching for venues, we found the CT wedding group and saw the endless 5 star reviews. When you read these reviews, please believe every single word!! The staff at CT wedding group and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake made the last 2 years of planning and our wedding day the most incredible, supportive, perfect experience we could have ever dreamed of! From the moment we toured the Barns at Wesleyan Hills and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake, we were immediately sold. We decided to book our wedding at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake because we truly just fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in. Casey answered every single question we had prior to booking our wedding, and the entire planning team was there morning, noon, and night for the entire duration of our planning. We were able to reach them via email, call, text, and in person meeting and had responses to any questions almost immediately. They checked in with us consistently to ensure we were on track, and were extremely supportive with all of our vendors as well. Mary, our day of coordinator, and Eddie surpassed our expectations. They were genuinely incredible and made our vision come to life. I truly cannot put into words how amazing they were. We had a plate of appetizers and dessert in the bridal suite for my husband and I, our hands always had a drink of our choice in them, and Mary and Eddie flawlessly orchestrated our night and didn’t skip a beat or miss a single detail. Our friends and family have raved about the food, venue, overall experience, and have said that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. If you are considering booking your wedding with CT wedding group and the Pavilion on Crystal Lake, you NEED TO! We truly cannot say enough positive, amazing things about this crew! The Pavilion on Crystal Lake is worth every single penny. Book your wedding here! You will never regret it!
