The Pavilion on Crystal Lake

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the Wedding Group and our entire wedding experience at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, organized, professional, and always genuinely happy to help with anything we needed throughout the planning process.
We are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding feel so seamless, special, and unforgettable. We received so many compliments from our guests, and we would wholeheartedly recommend the Wedding Group to anyone planning their wedding!

From start to finish we enjoyed working with the Pavilion on Crystal Lake. We opted to rent out the cottage for pictures and getting ready beforehand which was helpful. They had a plan for every detail of the wedding so it would go flawlessly and had regular communication with us throughout the planning process. We got nonstop compliments about the hospitality of the venue and the deliciousness of the food. (photo credit Ryan Williams, Four Wings Photography)

The CT wedding group were amazing from the first day we met them at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake to the big day. They helped with every small detail, and made the wedding planning process fun and as stress free as possible. The Pavilion on Crystal Lake is a beautiful venue, from the lake, ceremony location outdoor and great indoor space. We had to move our ceremony indoors and the team made it beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The food is amazing from cocktail hour all the way to dessert. The day of staff was amazing. We had Dimitri and Melissa as our coordinators and they were truly the dream team. Anything we needed they were already two steps ahead. The whole staff were amazing and ready to have a good time with us and our guests. Our family still talks about the staff, the food, and venue a month later. We could not have asked for a better team, venue and wedding day❤️

The Pavilion on Crystal Lake and CT Wedding Group made our wedding dreams come true. The planning process with CT wedding group was very easy- I never found myself stress or overwhelmed. Lexi helped us every step of the way and intimately knew our wedding details without us having to remind her, seriously, she knew what she was doing and kept us on track for a year and a half leading up to the big day- we could NOT have done this without her. Dmitri was also so wonderful day of and was so attentive and knowledgeable! We planned our wedding from out of state and did minimal decor- CT wedding group plugged in with what they could that matched our colors and theme perfectly! CT wedding group’s recommended vendors were all wonderful and provided excellent services. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing and the best I’ve ever had at a wedding! The venue spaces - getting ready cottage, the ceremony location, cocktail hour and reception space were all SO beautiful and really perfect for the fall! The staff overall was exceptional, thoughtful, fun, and really just great overall! The team accommodated some non-standard requests like a New Orleans style second line around the venue, our dog being on site for part of the day to be in pictures, and also allowing us to have our guest on the dance floor during dinner as we played our loved one’s wedding songs so they could have a special dance during our day. This was the wedding of our dreams and it is because of CT wedding group. I cannot thank them enough for making our dreams a reality. Everything went perfectly and I knew that if anything didn’t there were back up plans and contingencies and that Lexi and team would make it feel perfect anyway. This was legitimately the best day of our lives thanks to CT wedding group. We got married almost two months ago now and we still have friends and family telling us that their wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. The CT wedding group team were our partners in planning and making our dreams come true. We were legitimately depressed in the weeks after the wedding because of how sad we were that it was over. We talk about Lexi all the time and wonder how she’s doing. I don’t think there is a singular company or place that has made an impact on our lives the way that CT Wedding Group and Pavilion did. This was the best decision we made and I simply couldn’t be happier!

I had such an amazing wedding & I can’t thank the staff enough. Everyone communicated well & they respected our budget.

The absolute best wedding venue ever! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the staff were truly incredible. I’ve received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best venue experience they’ve ever had. The team was so kind, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. This venue made my fairytale princess dream come true and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I can’t recommend it highly enough!m

If your wedding priorities include getting married in a beautiful place, being extremely well taken care of, and eating DELICIOUS food, using CT Wedding Group is the way to go! We worked with the CT Wedding Team for our wedding at the Pavilion for 2 years and they were amazing to work with from day one. They were there for us every step of the way and really made the all of the planning as low stress as it could be. The entire team is friendly, responsive, and VERY good at their jobs. Whatever your questions, whatever your requests, they’ll work with you to make your dream wedding happen.
Our dream day was especially made possible by Sean & Melissa’s expertise. They had the entire handles from start to finish and made sure our big day was flawless. Sean and Melissa always knew exactly what we needed and had it ready to go for us before we even asked. Truly phenomenal to work with—they made our dream wedding a reality and we can’t thank them enough. We guarantee you can trust CT Wedding for all of your planning needs and would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect venue and planning team.

We couldn't be more pleased with our wedding at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake! This venue is part of the CT Wedding Group and they are truly experts at what they do!

Aesthetically, the venue is GORGEOUS. We loved the fact that we could have the best of both worlds--both inside and outside--for our wedding day. It was perfect! The outdoor ceremony space is intimate and romantic with a canopy of trees, garden lights, and a gazebo. The indoor reception area is just as intimate and has beautiful windows overlooking the lake. There are many different ways you can add on decor to make the inside as "dolled up" as you want. We also got ready for the day on the property at the Lake Cottage. Having been to multiple weddings where the wedding party had to get shuffled from one place to the next, we knew how much simpler and less stressful things would be if we could eliminate all of that. The Cottage is super cute and had everything we needed!

Choosing a wedding venue was challenging, but there were a few things that set The Pavilion apart from the others. First, the food. From the beginning, we came to understand that the CT Wedding Group is very "food forward." They pride themselves on their high-quality food, presentation, and the fact that couples don't have to pick and choose options to save money--so much is just included. And simply put: the food was INCREDIBLE. The 10 passed hors d'oeuvres were delicious. We added on "The Farm Stand" which was the most elaborate charcuterie board anyone has ever seen. The dinner entrees were out of this world and dessert was divine. Every guest continues to rave to us about the food! It did not disappoint!

Another thing that set apart this venue was the team of people. Once we signed the contract, we were on board with the CT Wedding Group and part of their little family. This group of people took such good care of us throughout the whole planning process! People ask if we hired a coordinator, and it was hard to answer because we had a whole TEAM of coordinators. They kept us on a schedule, made sure we were checking off things on our to-do list, hosting Zoom meetings, and were available to talk whenever we needed. Since our emails/texts went to an entire group of people, it meant we had rapid responses. Also, we never felt like any question was too small, nor any request too big. They were so kind to us and we felt extremely well cared for.

Last but not least, the CT Wedding Group provides a day-of coordinator, which was amazing. By the time the day of your wedding rolls around, you will be done with decision making. All you want is to show up and have everyone tell you what to do! Our coordinator, Dimitri, was great. We knew we were in good hands and he made sure the day ran so smoothly. He also made sure we had exactly what we needed at every point in the day/night. We had no stress on our wedding day because of this!

All in all, we HIGHLY recommend this venue. If not this venue, then any of the other CT Wedding Group properties. Our guests loved our wedding and so did we. You will have the BEST day!

CT Wedding Group was incredibly helpful and kind to us from beginning to end. Every member of the team was professional and responsive, and spent the time to understand us and our vision. From the very first steps of planning the wedding to the flawless coordination on the day of (shoutout to our fabulous coordinator, Sean!), we were in great hands. Their vendor relationships are amazing and made it so easy to work with vendors who were familiar with the venue and the team. Not to mention, they have the most delicious food!! Overall, we’re so fortunate to have chosen CT Wedding Group for our perfect day!

If I could do my wedding all over again, I would choose The Pavilion on Crystal Lake/CT Wedding Group every time. They are incredibly reliable, helpful, and communicative. Throughout the planning process, they provide regular meetings to help make sure all aspects of your wedding planning are on track, even giving you timelines for when to book other vendors, have suits ordered, etc. On the day of, they provided us with an amazing coordinator (thank you Dimitri!) who made sure our decor was perfectly arranged, our day was on schedule, and any problems that came up were quickly resolved with minimal input needed from my husband and I. Lastly, we're still getting raving reviews from our guests about how phenomenal the food was! I'm a vegetarian and they had plenty of meat-free options for all of the courses. I can't recommend CT Wedding Group enough!
