Beautiful venue, amazing team, delicious food!

We had our wedding on May 10th, 2025. It was the best day of our lives. From start to finish the CT Wedding Group helped us all along the way with our planning and dialing in all the last minute details. They’re very professional but also understand the stresses of planning a wedding. They were supportive of all of our ideas, even if it didn’t all play out. Our DOC Shannon was a pleasure to work with and our guests loved the extra care and attention that the staff provided on our wedding day. Food was absolutely great and probably the most important detail of our wedding. Everyone was raving about the food and the whole venue experience. They even gave us one of each meal at the end of the night so we had a chance to enjoy what all our guests were having, even though we were very full from all the food earlier. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding and reception. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a beautiful, rustic venue with professionals to help with wedding planning. This bride was happy and stress free.

A Day I Dream Of

This review is for all the procrastinators out there! It took me two years to write this, but today marks our second wedding anniversary—married on October 30, 2022. The Pavilion on Crystal Lake and the CT Wedding Group deserve the utmost recognition for making our day truly perfect. From our first tour with Jess to the incredible day-of experience, the planning team was friendly, organized, and communicative. The breathtaking views, welcoming staff, and amazing food left a lasting impression. We still hear rave reviews about the thick-cut bacon served with the bar snacks! Shelby, our day-of coordinator, was exceptional. She kept me calm and guided me through breathing exercises before I walked down the aisle. If we could do it all again, we would choose this venue without hesitation!

A true dream wedding!!

From start to end, the team at the Pavilion were spectacular. Anytime I had a question or needed a recommendation they were right on top of it. We never felt stressed or unsure of what we should be doing when it came to planning. All of the coordinators kept us on track and solved any problems we encountered. They made my vision come true. Mary was our day of coordinator, she was right by our side the entire day. From checking on me and my girls getting ready, to making sure my husband and I had drinks in our hands & food in our bellies all evening long. She solved any problems we ran into, even when we had an unexpected guest show up to our wedding, she handed it in a calm manner. We also worked with Eddie who made our 3000+ family cookie table a literal dream. He turned our family tradition into a magical disney land of cookies!!! His energy and enthusiasm for our wedding made my heart so happy. The food was so incredible, I've heard nothing but amazing reviews from our friends and family. Mary & Eddie were truly a pleasure to work with and I can say they were a huge asset to make our special day so perfect. I cannot thank the two of them and all of the other wonderful staff enough. We're so happy we went with our first instinct and had our wedding at the Pavilion. It was a night no one will ever forget!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
