Couldn't have had a better day

I can't recommend CT Wedding Group and the Pavilion enough! They made our day so special and it was a dream. Our guests keep raving at how amazing the day was, how beautiful the venue is, and how delicious the food was. Everyone that works there is a dream to work with. Lindsay was our coordinator and she made the day of our so smooth. I barely had to think at all! She made sure we had everything we needed, made sure we were fed and had drinks, and even packed up all our stuff at the end! We had an amazing day and highly recommend the pavilion!

An amazing rustic venue

Pavilion on Crystal Lake was the absolute best venue for our wedding. From the start of the planning process to after the wedding their team was supportive, responsive and helpful. CT Wedding Group helped to decrease our stress in the planning process and make the time enjoyable. Our day of coordinator, Sean, was amazing!! He was so informative, supported us, made sure we always had what we needed including food/drinks! Sean made it a priority to check in with the Bride and the Groom AND our parents and parties. He was the best and our day ran so smoothly! The venue itself is gorgeous! It’s perfect for a couple looking for a modern/rustic/outdoorsy look! The lake, ceremony site and inside is beautiful, (we loved the lights and greenery inside!). Food was amazing from cocktail hour to meals. Our guests had an amazing time. I have no complaints at all!

Most amazing venue and team!

The Pavillion On Crystal Lake is the most amazing venue I have ever seen and experienced. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married! The team was absolutely amazing and accommodating. My wedding day of Coordinator, Sean, made me feel relaxed as the bride and provided my husband and I with everything that we could want and need on that day. He made our wedding day run so smooth! It was the most amazing, perfect, and fulfilled my dream wedding!
