Mountain Top Wedding
Our wedding was perfect in every way! The Crystal Mountain staff were friendly, professional, organized, helpful and went above and beyond to make our day exceptional! Guests raved over the venue, lodging, chairlift ride and so much more. Our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party was the perfect way to hang out with friends and family staying on site the day before. There are lots of gorgeous photo locations all over the campus with stunning landscaping all summer long. I would not change a thing about this venue, pure perfection!!

The Best Wedding Weekend Ever
We got married at Crystal Mountain this fall, and it was truly the perfect wedding weekend. From the moment we booked the venue to the very last song of the night, every single staff member we worked with was amazing. Our day-of coordinator was fantastic, organized, calm, and so attentive to our timeline. The bartenders, servers, and dinner staff all did a wonderful job, and the service during dinner was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious! One of the best parts was how convenient everything was for our guests. Almost everyone stayed right on the property, either in the cottages or the hotel, and everything was within walking distance to the venue. It created such a fun, intimate weekend vibe and made it feel like a full getaway for everyone. The property itself is gorgeous, especially in the fall. The peak colors were stunning and made the whole day feel magical. We also loved the spa (the massages and outdoor hot tub were amazing!) and the golf courses were a huge hit with our group. Crystal Mountain made our entire wedding weekend feel so special. We highly recommend getting married here, especially in the fall!

Wedding at Crystal Mountain
Crystal Mountain was the perfect venue for us! we loved the uniqueness of the ski lift. The staff was friendly, professional and easy to work with!

Dream Wedding
Crystal Mountain was a dream wedding location. We wanted a place where all of our friends and family could gather for the weekend and spend time together and this was the perfect venue. On Thursday we started off the wedding festivities with a tube float down the Platte River via Riverside Canoes, this was only 25 minutes from the resort. Friday morning I enjoyed the beautiful Crystal Mountain spa with a complimentary wedding massage, it was amazing! We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Barr Park. Saturday was a gorgeous ceremony at the Mountain Top Deck, the views were stunning. We rode the chairlift down to our cocktail hour and enjoyed the reception in the evening. On Sunday we wrapped up the perfect weekend with a beautiful brunch.
The staff at Crystal Mountain was incredible. The communication and attention to detail was extremely refined. Our guests could not stop talking about how nice everyone was at Crystal Mountain and how delicious the food was. The food selection was outstanding, along with my Cold brew Espresso Martini signature drink!
From the beginning stages working with Linda Kiander to finalizing all of the small details with Erin Gilbert, I can't thank the Crystal Mountain team enough for all of their handwork. All of my requests and additional details came to life and it's all thanks to the beautiful venue and the Crystal Mountain team.

The most magical place
We always knew we would get married at Crystal Mountain even before we were engaged because it is our favorite place in the world! It has been a second home to my family my whole life and no other place could be as special. Even if you have never been there before, I highly recommend it. It is such a fun place to have all your friends and family gather. There are so many wonderful types of accommodations including hotel rooms, condos and houses. There are so many fun things to do on the property for everyone as well. Because it's such a fun place to be we asked everyone to stay Wednesday through Sunday, not just for our wedding.
Linda was amazing during the first step, giving us a tour and explaining our different options. We decided to get married at the mountain top and it was kind of her to drive us to the top to see it. We had our welcome party the night before our wedding at Barr park and Linda made booking both places an easy experience.
Erin Gilbert was our Conference Service manager and she was a star! She helped me with so much of our planning and I knew I was in great hands. She ran our rehearsal so smoothly and made my wedding day absolutely perfect with the rest of the Crystal Mountain staff.
The people who work at Crystal Mountain are the nicest people I've ever met. The landscaping there is gorgeous. You feel like you are in a fantasy world when you are there, like it can't be real because everything is just so happy and perfect.
Our guests were so WOW'ed by our wedding - especially the ceremony because everyone took the chair life to the top. Some people took a shuttle van that was offered to guests who were afraid which was really nice to have that accommodation. The reception was under the tent and we had the surrounding outdoor space as well. There was so much room for games and the kids could run around and it was perfect for people like us who like to have fun. The night before at Barr park was also wonderful and it was meant to be casual because we only served pizza and open bar but Crystal Mountain made it an elevated experience. The food at the welcome party and at my wedding was DELICIOUS! We served steak and white fish and everyone raved about their meal. We had the ice cream sundae bar which was a hit too.
If you want to get married somewhere where the employees show that they care about you and make everyone feel welcomed - this is the place! Everyone told me it was the best wedding they've ever been to and I don't think they were trying to be nice. It was truly a magical experience and I highly recommend getting married at Crystal Mountain!

Best Wedding Ever
We would have our wedding at Crystal Mountain a million times over! We had our ceremony at the Art Park and our reception on the rooftop bar.
Pros:
Wedding team is professional, responds promptly, and is experienced in the wedding industry.
LGBTQ affirming, staff was amazing for our 2 bride wedding
Lower cost for venues than others in the area
Everything is onsite (hotels, transportation, etc)
Multiple options for the venue and both our ceremony location and reception location were exactly what we wanted
Cons:
Hotel is pricey for guests
Rain plan is ugly (but we didn't need ot use it thankfully)

The best day ever!
My husband and I made the best decision and decided upon Crystal Mountain for our wedding ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments on everything! The food was incredible (the duck wontons changed our lives), the service provided by the wait staff was amazing! We chose the mountain top with the ski lift ride up to the top. The view was amazing, I look at the pictures weekly and still dream about our wedding day. It really was magical. Our guests said it was one of the most unique ceremony experiences, our friends and family are still talking about it :) Erin was our coordinator, and she was so helpful! Not only did she help ensure everything ran smoothly the day of, but she was communicative during the whole process and responded promptly to any questions that we had. From someone who does not like to host or plan, Erin's calming demeanor was very much appreciated on our wedding day with an anxious bride. If you are looking into venues, I would highly recommend Crystal Moutain. My favorite part of the weekend was having our friends and family rent condos or stay in one of the beautiful lodges. Everyone enjoyed themselves, kids went to the pool, and the adults enjoyed themselves. We REALLY enjoyed the weekend with everyone that we love the most!

Exceptional!
From the first time viewing the property until the wedding day, everything was top notch. We didn’t feel pressured or forced into agreeing to something we didn’t want, the staff was so kind and caring about all details, and in general, they were a breeze to work with. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to all couples!

Exceeded our expectations!
We had an amazing experience working with the staff at Crystal Mountain Resort, from the very first meeting with Linda until our transfer to Erin who ultimately coordinated the wedding of our dreams.
The entire time we had amazing communication with Erin, and with the help of the resort, she bent over backwards to accomodate weather challenges and made alI things seamless. Undoubtedly the best experience we could have asked for!!
As far as the grounds and venue options Crystal Mountain offers so many beautiful locations to choose from and the grounds and buildings are kept in meticulous fashion. We had family traveling from all over and the hotel, condo & cottage availability left affordability along with larger spaces for those needing additional space. It truly was unbelievable how smoothly everything came together.
Several on-site dining choices for all palette and price ranges. Pool, indoor and out with a multitude of options for families/coupls to enjoy, And a Spa too!!
Truly a Northern Michigan Experience with the quality and excellence you'd expect from a 5-star resort!

Run don’t walk- book this venue!
hands down best venue and will now become a special place we can continue to come back to each year to celebrate and to continue to build memories with our family! We really wanted a location that gave us the up north feel along with a place where everyone could stay on site! This matched all of our checklists for the perfect venue! And then we met Erin Gilbert! And she is a bad a$$! She was on it from day one with me and worked with me closely. Always responded timely and when we were on the property she was even more helpful! They do everything they can to make every piece of this process so personal and they make you feel like royalty all weekend on the property. There is so much to do locally- your guests will be able to have an incredible weekend with your wedding being the highlight! I also want to compliment their incredible day of staff! Charlotte one of their banquet captains was with us on our rehearsal dinner and then was with us for our wedding and she made sure my husband and I were completely taken care for! Along with our guests!! Above and beyond!

September 2023 Wedding Weekend
Crystal Mountain was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! Molly and Erin were so helpful in coordinating and planning our whole wedding weekend. The banquet staff was extremely organized and communicative. We had several guests who have food allergies and dietary restrictions and the staff was extremely accommodating. Would not change a single thing about our weekend!

Dream Wedding at Crystal Mountain Resort
Our wedding at Crystal Mountain in October of 2023 at the Petritz Pond and the Hudson Bay room was everything we had hoped for. From the initial planning stages with Molly, who was excellent at communicating with us regarding all our questions and concerns, to Erin who was amazing at making sure everything was perfect on the day of. The fall colors against the beautiful grounds of Crystal Mountain made for amazing wedding photos. The staff and the food at our reception were wonderful and we received so many compliments on everything. Our guests who stayed at the resort had nothing but good things to say about the staff, restaurants, golf courses, and spa. To have everything in one location was perfect and we would totally recommend Crystal Mountain for weddings and weekend getaways!

September 2023 wedding
We got married in September at Crystal Mountain and had the best experience! From the beginning, Molly was the most helpful in planning and answering any questions along the way! Kaylyn was our day of coordinator and she was incredibly helpful and very detail oriented (every brides dream)! The catering and bartenders at both our rehearsal and reception were so kind and went above beyond for both us and our guests. The grounds were so beautifully maintained and made for the perfect backdrop for our pictures. Our guests also enjoyed the lodging and convenience of staying on property. We had such a special wedding with all our close family and friends and we owe it all to Crystal Mountain!

From beginning to end Crystal Mountain met every expectation for our wedding weekend.

Our wedding was in August and still are getting compliments from guests about it being the best wedding they had ever been too. Highly recommend Crystal Mountain.

Perfect Snow Globe Wedding at Crystal Mountain!
I would recommend Crystal Moutain to everyone! We had our Wedding Ceremony in the Northern Lights room and then a private dinner with our bridal party at the Thistle Pub afterward! It was truly magical and so special. The team at Crystal Mountain for facilitating events is awesome! They are so helpful with questions, concerns, and are very prompt in their responses. They are very communicative about how to make the process of planning with them easy and seamless. They made my day from first contact all the way to "I do" just wonderful! I'm so grateful to Crystal Mountain for the best day of my life!

Best Decision Ever
While planning our northern Michigan wedding from California during the pandemic, we knew we'd have to take a risk by booking a venue without visiting it. We're SO glad we picked Crystal! They were absolute pros from beginning to end - completely clear and responsive during the planning process, kind and accommodating to all our guests' needs as the date got closer, and absolutely lovely on the day of, from the chair lift operators to the dinner servers and everyone in between.
Best of all, when we finally visited Crystal we were super impressed by the whole resort. Comfy accommodations that our family and guests loved, tons of fun activities, and a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding at the top of the mountain! In the end, it was a fabulous experience for a totally reasonable cost. If you're on the fence - do it!

Amazing wedding experience at Crystal Mountain Resort!
I am so glad I had my wedding at Crystal Mountain, not only for the beautiful location (Northern Michigan is charming), but also because of the professionalism and diligence of the wedding team at the resort. Even before we signed a contract, the staff at Crystal Mountain were always available to answer any calls or emails with the thousands of questions I had about wedding planning. They never got fed up with me, but were always extremely kind and helpful. In addition, the resort communicated very well within their departments (food, coordinator, set-up) so that everything was exactly how I wanted it to be for the wedding day (this took a lot of stress off of me for the wedding day because I knew I could trust the wedding team to get everything done while I was getting married). Since I was planning the wedding by myself (no other family helped me), I appreciated the help of the Resort staff. Overall, the food was delicious, the event spaces were beautiful, and the people were friendly!

Wonderful Winter Wedding!
My husband and I got married at Crystal Mountain last month and it was perfect! The resort itself is beautiful and we were so happy to have our guests spend the weekend at such an enjoyable place. Working with Stephanie and Molly was great. They were very helpful and were always accommodating to our many requests. The wedding day itself went incredibly smooth and all of our guests complimented the food and service that was given. All of the staff were extremely friendly and made sure that our experience was perfect. The food is the best food I've ever had at a wedding and they have so many options. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to anyone looking for a beautiful northern Michigan wedding destination!

Overall Wonderful Venue!
Crystal Mountain is one of the best venues for a Northern Michigan wedding! My husband and I had our wedding ceremony on top of the ski mountain at Crystal Mountain, and let me tell you that it makes for a truly unique and unforgettable experience; not only for you as the couple but also for your guests. You get to see for miles above the Benzie River Valley, and look over some gorgeous scenery while professing your love and commitment to one another. We were also so pleased with how our venue coordinators helped us coordinate everything (food and drink menu, reception layout, rehearsal dinner, welcome bags, etc.) before and during the event which allowed for my husband and I to just enjoy the day with little stress. I cannot recommend this venue enough and hopefully you decide to choose Crystal Mountain for your wedding as well!

Our wedding at Crystal mountain was PERFECT. They know how to manage weddings and worked with us on bringing our wedding dreams to life. We created a wedding weekend experience from a welcome reception on Friday, to wedding on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday - all at the resort so we could walk everywhere! I had zero stress in knowing that they could handle everything and it was truly amazing!!

Amazing wedding event at Crystal Mountain
Crystal Mountain was so great to work with! I did a very small elopement very last minute(only a month of planning) and from day 1 they were so responsive and made me feel like my wedding was the most important event of the day. I would love to give a shout out to Carmen and Stephanie who are great to work with and made my day so amazing. The food was catered through them and everyone loved it. They brought it straight to us and picked everything up so seamlessly. I also needed extra things the day of and they were able to bring it no problem.
A beautiful place and wonderful people to work with, I would highly recommend using them.

Perfect in every way!
Planning a wedding during a pandemic was extremely difficult. But the staff at Crystal Mountain were very helpful and worked with us along the way. They kept us informed on the ever changing rules and regulations and gave us new options and ideas to ensure our wedding was perfect. Our ceremony was at the top of the mountain and the fall colors were at their peak! I am glad we changed our date from the spring to the fall, it gave me a little more time to plan and the colors were breathtaking. Our reception was in a beautiful tent and the service staff was amazing and attentive. The food was hands down the best! (I still have people telling me how good everything was!) We felt like royalty! I plan to come back every year for our anniversary as Crystal Mountain is like home to me!

Would have been the perfect day if it wasn't for COVID
Due to the restrictions and executive orders in the state of Michigan we were unable to continue planning our wedding at Crystal Mountain. Although we are extremely sad we did not get to experience our day here Crystal Mountain was exceptional to work with. Stephanie, especially, was fantastic. She answered all of my hundreds of questions and went above and beyond to make any of my crazy ideas come to life. Carmen, also communicated with me when things were not looking like they were going to go as planned. She worked with us in this unfortunate event to make sure we were satisfied at the end of the day and of course wished us the best of luck. If you are thinking about booking this venue I highly recommend as you will not be disappointed. We will for sure be back to Crystal Mountain!

Perfect venue with amazing views!
We chose Crystal Mountain because it had everything we were looking for: mountain top views for our ceremony, outdoor reception close by, and the option for lodging for our guests. Our wedding party booked two Mountainside townhomes, and Crystal Mountain made sure they were next door to each other. This made it so much easier to keep everyone on track with our schedule and no one had to go back and forth to get their personal items.
Carmen was the first person we talked to at Crystal Mountain. She was so incredibly informative and responsive to our emails. When we checked out the venue, she was so friendly and easy to work with. She is a big reason why we chose Crystal Mountain because we knew it'd be easy to work out details with her. Our coordinators at Crystal Mountain were equally as helpful and made our entire day seamless and carefree. Special thanks to Stephanie for being so responsive and for putting up with our millions of questions!
I highly suggest taking the ski lift up to the ceremony on the mountain top. Everyone kept telling us how unique, peaceful, and scenic the ride was! All of our guests are still talking about the beauty of our wedding. It was definitely a hit and we have no regrets at all about choosing Crystal Mountain for our wedding!! Highly recommend!

Perfect day
The perfect wedding! We had our reception on the Mountain Top Deck with the most gorgeous weather possible. Our guests loved riding the ski lift to the top. The food was amazing, I received many compliments on our appetizers. Stephanie Gray and Carmen Kott were very professional and super responsive with emails. Wish we could do it all over again! It was the perfect day. They also kept us very organized which helped a lot. It was like having wedding planners without having to pay for one.

AMAZING from start to finish!!!
I cannot say enough good things about how incredible Crystal Mountain and their entire team is!!! From the food, to the event spaces, to the staff, every detail of our wedding was meticulously cared for. Carmen and Stephanie helped our planning go so smoothly, I never worried about any details! We had so many compliments on how wonderful the cabins and hotel rooms were for our guests! We stayed in the cabins at Crystal for almost an entire week, and the entire stay was a dream. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Bee Room at the Thistle Pub, and the food and staff were amazing! I want to give a special shout out to Joel and the bartender at the Thistle Pub, as they were PHENOMENAL in all ways for the entire wedding weekend! Our wedding ceremony was on the Mountain Top, and our ceremony was in the Northwest Territories ballroom. Our guests LOVED the chairlift up the mountain, it was so much fun! The views were absolutely breathtaking. They were also great at accommodating our guests who were unable to ride the chairlift. Our ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, and our reception was amazing! It was the best food I have ever had at a wedding, and they were phenomenal with accommodating our special requests. I am so happy that we chose to get married at Crystal Mountain, as they gave us a dream wedding weekend!

Best Wedding Venue Ever!
Crystal Mountain was everything we could ever hope for and so much for! We had several guests from out-of-town, out-of-state, and even out of the country! Everyone loved the scenic ceremony location and incredibly fun reception! Our guests continue to tell us what an amazing time they had and how much the venue blew them away! The food was amazing, the rooms/condos/cottages were UNREAL, and everywhere we went the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can not recommend this venue enough. If you want a beautiful venue to capture all that Northern Michigan has to offer - look no further!

Stress Free Wedding Planning!
Crystal Mountain is as perfect as wedding venues get! Thanks due to Carmen Kott and Stephanie Gray, our seasoned planning experts, all of our wedding planning was a breeze. The sit down, plated food tasting was a very nice surprise and having the chef come out for questions was even better! If you need reservations, ask for Carissa Smith, she is a true expert and is understanding when it comes to questions.
We compared Crystal Mountain to many other venues in the Traverse City area and if you are wanting friendly and detail oriented, don't even bother looking elsewhere besides this venue!

The staff at Crystal exceeded my expectations. From the early stages of planning up to the big day, our experience was nothing short of perfect. Carmen, Stephanie and their team are extremely professional, attentive and helpful. They helped create my dream wedding and I am forever grateful! I would recommend Crystal Mountain a million times over.

Perfection!
Crystal Mountain was a dream! We blindly chose Crystal Mountain while living out of state. After signing a contract We did a tour in the winter & it was hard to imagine what it would look like come summer. One word “WOW!” Not only is it gorgeous- they are so hospitable! Professional! Organized! Everything you could ask for.
Carmen is on point with everything & super responsive, easy to communicate with! Stephanie was amazingly helpful in making the events flow smoothly. I was so stressed the day before & their team melted all of that away! Totally worth it!

Amazing Experience All Around
Crystal Mountain exceeded our expectations! We felt SO taken care of by each of the people we worked with: Stephanie, Samantha, Carmen, and more! By the end of the wedding, we felt as though we were working with a team of really good friends. They helped us troubleshoot problems on the day of and were so professional. Our guests LOVED riding the chairlift to our ceremony space (truly, people were going crazy over it) and the permanent tent is such an upgrade for Crystal Mountain. We hung lovely chandeliers and bistro lights and it looked magnificent. Overall, we were so impressed by our experience with Crystal Mountain and we'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a northern Michigan wedding venue.

One million stars!
I would give Crystal a million stars if I could! Every penny was worth it because we had the most perfect day. From the very beginning, Carmen was so helpful and accommodating with getting us booked in! She was wonderful. Then, Stephanie was a rockstar in planning our wedding! Everyone was so accommodating to special requests-and we had a lot! From a special dual plate, to adding in different wines to the packages, they were willing to do whatever it took to make our day special! Even the girl at guest services helped us book some last minute condos when our airbnb didn't have AC! All across the board, I would give Crystal all the praise! The organization, friendliness, professionalism, hospitality, and genuine care for their clients is impeccable. THANK YOU TO CRYSTAL for our dream wedding!

We had what all couples fear - poor weather leading up to and the day of our outdoor wedding. Crystal’s staff did a fabulous job helping us form a plan in case of poor weather, which we ended up using for our reception. Everyone we worked with was amazing from start to finish!

Our guests loved all of the different lodging options. We didn't have time to take advantage of the many activities onsite but there really is something for everyone. The food was incredible. People called us after just to tell us how good the food was. The people we worked with were very attentive and I felt like they truly cared that my experience was great and my day was special.

Wedding Planning with Crystal Mountain
Thus far, working with Crystal Mountain in coordinating our wedding has been fantastic. Their team is extremely responsive, professional, and easy to work with. My fiance and I are planning our wedding from across the country to have it in Michigan where we grew up, and we wouldn't be able to accomplish this without their help.

Crystal Mountain has it all from lodging, rehearsal dinner space and ceremony and reception!
We had our entire wedding weekend at Crystal Mountain and it could of not been more perfect! Carmen helped us find the best location for us from the rehearsal dinner, a welcome reception with a bonfire for all our family and friends as well as the ceremony and wedding reception. Samantha was a huge help through the planning process answering any questions we had and both Samantha, Emily and Sharon helped see everything through on the day of to make sure our day was perfect! Our guests loved being able to stay right on-site and the variety of rooming options was great for everyone to pick what was right for them. Thank you to Crystal Mountain for making our wedding weekend the most stress free and fun weekend we could of imagined!

Crystal Mountain delivered above and beyond what we could have imagined
David and I would like to send our sincerest thank you and the Crystal Mountain team for making our dream wedding a reality. We cannot speak highly enough (but we will here!) about our CM experience from start to finish. From our first tour with Carmen, to our last goodbye with Tony, everything was flawless.
Our event was not an easy event to execute. We had many unique requests and a multi-day event that added complexity - a rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, morning ceremony, afternoon BBQ, and evening reception. Yet with a smile and dedicated problem solving, Crystal Mountain delivered above and beyond what we could have imagined. They even brought us the good weather :)
The thing that stood out most in our experience was the genuine pride each staff member took in their work. It is clear to us that there is a high standard of excellence across the entire Crystal Mountain team -- lodging, dining & catering, transportation, facilities, spa, etc. The positive culture CM has across your entire resort is palpable. The attention to detail and the care and concern for the quality of the experience shined through with every planning call, every email, and every moment of our big weekend.
I would highly recommend having your wedding at Crystal Mountain.

It was everything we expected it would be and the service through the whole process was outstanding. The accommodations that the family stayed in were excellent as well as the housekeeping staff's attentiveness. I would recommend Crystal Mountain for a wedding.

As the FOB (Father of Bride) I could not have been happier with Crystal Mountain! Crystal did a great job from start to finish and the people that we worked with, Carmen Kott & Samantha Roelofs, were perfect support. They communicated very well and kept things in line on the budget we had. It was simply the perfect wedding venue and reception for this event.
Everyone at Crystal was very helpful throughout the entire set up and welcoming our guest to the resort on the day of the wedding. One special note, during the reception my daughter as if I had a tums with me and I did not. The reception 'captain' Sharren Williamson went to the market at Crystal and bought her some antacid stuff that helped the bride a bunch. That was service above and beyond!
I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain as a great choice for your wedding & reception plans.

I don’t know many people that can say that their wedding day went perfectly through rain, but we can. Carmen, Sam, and Emily were amazing to make our day and weekend perfect in every way. I’ll admit, I was not the easiest bride with all my worries and questions, but they were all there along the way to make sure I was at ease. I would recommend Crystal Mountain to anyone that asks- in fact, one of my bridesmaids said that she wanted to have hers there. If that is not a complement, I don’t know what is. All of our guests said we had a perfect wedding weekend and I owe it all to the staff. I had been planning my wedding for two years (all outside) and the day of the wedding it was raining. Sam continued to check the weather for me hourly and give encouragement and reassurance that everything would turn out great- and it did. If anyone is wondering if they should have their wedding here, it is a huge YES from us.

The entire Crystal Mountain staff did an outstanding job; the best Coordinators Samantha and Emily, wonderful set-up crew, efficient servers and bartenders, delicious appetizers and dinner, Banquet Captain who was present all evening (I'm sorry her name escapes me at the moment!) and attention to every detail. Also, the chair lift operators were very kind and helpful to those who had never been on a chair lift; they helped make the day even more special and so much fun! Thank you to everyone!!

I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain for your wedding venue! My husband and I recently got married there and it was a perfect "destination" (2 hours away) wedding. Our guests loved being able to ride the chairlift up the mountain to our beautiful ceremony. Our reception area had large windows facing the mountain. The wedding planning process went smoothly with Carmen Kott and Samantha Roelofs. Both were readily available and quick to answer any questions I came across throughout the wedding planning process.
The resort itself is beautiful as well. There are many activities for children and adults to do. Guests enjoyed going to the spa, playing at the water park, and going down the alpine slide.

Our wedding at Crystal Mountain was a dream come true! With the help of Carmen, Taylor, Eugene & Stephanie we could have not had such an amazing day. The Crystal Mountain staff is extremely helpful and easy to work with and carried our wedding day to exceed our expectations. Regardless of the rain (typical Michigan weather!) the backup ceremony location and plan was executed flawlessly. I wish we could get married and have Crystal Mountain host our wedding all over again, we can't thank the staff who helped create our event enough. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how well they were cared for during our wedding. Cheers to a beautiful Northern Michigan wedding!

Crystal Mountain is a beautiful venue! Stephanie was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day thanks to her. The Mountain Top deck has the most amazing view and with the fall colors and the ski lift, it was a ceremony all our guests will never forget. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly. I wouldn't have changed a thing :)

We weren't able to use the Mountain top for ceremony because of weather but it made no difference. We had a beautiful inside venue connected to Nothern Territories where the reception was held. It was a weekend to remember. All the way to the service we received at the various restaurants , spa , bars! Crystal Mountain is the place to have a seamless wedding!

I am extremely happy that we chose Crystal Mountain for our wedding ceremony and reception. We could not have asked for a more spectacular weekend. The ceremony was held at the Mountain Top Deck and the views were breathtaking. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience of riding the chairlift to the ceremony site. The reception was held in the Northwest Territories at the Crystal Center which allowed our guests to move freely from inside the ballroom to outside on the terrace. In addition, we had a welcome party & campfire and golf outing. All of the staff were very professional and accommodating from the banquet captains to the bartenders to the servers to the recreation department. Working with Carmen, Stephanie and especially Taylor was a dream. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and were very responsive to our needs and our guests. Thank you Crystal Mountain for giving us such a beautiful wedding weekend!

Crystal Mountain made our wedding an absolute fairy tale and we are so grateful to them and their team! We had our destination wedding at Crystal Mountain in August and it's still all our family and friends can talk about. Stephanie, Carmen, and the rest of the team there is truly the best in the business. My husband and I searched high and low for a venue that would work for us, and I knew Crystal Mountain was it from my first phone call with Carmen. Carmen and Stephanie were both incredibly generous with their time and super responsive. Our guests came from all over the country, 95% were out of state, and we have heard over and over from our family and friends that they plan to go back to Crystal Mountain. The facilities are gorgeous and state of the art. There is something to do for everyone, and the restaurants are terrific. We had a full 4 day wedding weekend there with multiple events (welcome drinks, a golf outing, the wedding and reception, and a farewell brunch) and they knocked it out of the park at every turn. The ceremony site at the Mountain Top was breathtaking - guests LOVED the chairlift and the views - and I can't imagine marrying my husband anywhere else. The reception site at the Pavilion Tent was beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. THANK YOU Crystal Mountain!

I honestly could not have more positive things to say about Crystal Mountain! Carmen, Stephanie, and the entire Crystal Mountain staff were absolutely amazing to work with! We had a gorgeous outdoor August wedding and reception that our guests RAVED about. We spent the entire weekend at the resort celebrating our love with many different events, and it really gave us the most time to spend with all of our friends and family. The beautiful grounds, the food, the staff - everything was on point and perfect! Everyone loved being at the resort for the weekend, and we had the time of our lives at our wedding. It was honestly the BEST DAY (Weekend) EVER and we only wish we could go back and do the whole thing over again!

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our destination wedding. Everyone at Crystal Mountain went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests felt welcomed and taken care of. For the reception itself, the entire staff did an amazing job making sure everything was in order and that our wedding would go exactly as planned. I can't thank the Crystal Mountain staff, especially Carmen Kott and Stephanie Gray, enough for making this day a dream come true for my wife and I.

My husband and I spent over a year working with Crystal Mountain to perfect what we invisioned to be our special day. The team at Crystal Mountain was exceptional and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful group to create our day.
Not only was the staff great but the food blew our mind! We are still receiving reviews from our guests about that pineapple salmon. Everyone always tells the bride and groom to make sure they eat. Well our plates we polished clean by the time we finished. Our wedding party speeches were a bit lengthy and it pushed our meal service back but you would have never guessed because it was that good. The service was quick and accurate and the waiting staff was so sweet. The bar staff was just ask great! They were quick mixing together our favorite cocktails and they did it with a smile! They were amazing!
My husband and I were also very impressed with the Crystal Mountain chair lift rides. It was the perfect touch for our guests to take a step back and truly appreciate the beauty of Northern Michigan. The staff working the lift was very helpful when I went to sit. If you can imagine sitting on a chair lift in a dress it can be a little intimidating but it worked out perfectly with their assistance.
We can't say enough about the staff. Towards the end of the evening they sis such an amazing job cleaning up. I never looked around and thought man it's a mess. They were so on top of picking things up and clearing tables. We were very impressed. My husband and I also had the opportunity to stay at Crystal Mountain for our wedding night. The room was beautiful and very clean. We were welcomed with a sweet card and bottle of champagne from the staff that melted our hearts.
Overall, we loved our experience with Crystal Mountain. The majority of our wedding was planned with us being hundreds of miles away in midwestern Illinois but the staff at Crystal Mountain made us feel like we were right there in Thompsonville. We feel very blessed.

Everything was first class, including all the vendors we used. Staff was exceptionally attentive, professional, and we were lucky to have chosen this location for our daughter's wedding. We wish we had the ability to write more so we could name the very exceptional staff that worked with us, which made it a perfect event. Our phone is 231-889-4449 in event anyone wants more specifics. What a perfect day we had at the outdoor pond location for the ceremony, and the way the reception hall was decorated was one of the nicest the resort owner had seen in the 13 years he was there. Thanks again for helping us give our daughter the best we could possibly give her. Your suggestions of contractors for flowers, decorating, and entertainment were better than we could have found on our own. Makes us wish we had another daughter, so we could do it all again!

Crystal Mountain Resort was a gorgeous venue! The grounds were absolutely breathtaking! There were flowers blooming everywhere! The Thistle Pub was the perfect rehearsal spot! The food and service was wonderful! The Turkey/Bacon Panini was SO delicious! We got married on the Mountain Top Deck. Our guests loved riding the chairlift up to our ceremony and so did we! The MountainView Lodge was the perfect reception space for us! It was the perfect size and location. The food and wait staff service at Crystal Mountain was incredible! Everyone LOVED the Reuben Eggrolls!! We only had two small issues: 1) There was a tent partially blocking our mountain view (due to a flood in a different restaurant) and 2) Staff was setting up for a concert immediately after our ceremony. The staff was setting up a bar and seating while we were doing pictures. Other resort guests were using our reception hallway and bathroom (making it a little awkward). We were informed about the tent before we arrived, but we were never informed about the concert. Overall, Crystal Mountain was a great venue! We highly recommend it!

Crystal Mountain is a venue I would recommend to any engaged couple looking for an up north Michigan wedding! I had the pleasure of working with Julie as my coordinator for Crystal Mountain for my big day. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with! I live a few hours from Crystal and Julie was wonderful to work with whether it was on the phone, countless emails back and forth or one the phone with my mother while I was at work and unable to return calls during business hours. She made it so easy and I felt confident and comfortable going into my wedding weekend. I also had the wonderful pleasure of working with Carmen for all of my beauty and spa needs. Carmen was wonderful in coordinating times and packages for myself and other party members.
Really, my husband and I still smile whenever we think about our wedding weekend. Our friends still say how amazing everything was: from the rooms they stayed in, the staff, overall venue, and how much fun our special day was. Most guests stayed and made a weekend out of it with friends or with families and Crystal Mountain took the time to give information and tips to each person attending our weekend.
I could go on and on about how absolutely wonderful this venue is! I grew up skiing here and I only could dream about getting married here one day and Crystal worked with us to make this happen. At first, the numbers were out of our price range and we were able to work with our package and downgrade some food options to either get a late night snack thrown in or another option work for us to make it possible. Every staff member really tended to all the needs of our guests.
THANK YOU!

Crystal Mountain was the perfect place to have our wedding reception! All of our guests stayed in the Mountain Top homes and we able to hang out by the pool the morning of the wedding. Our reception was held in the Northwest Territories ballroom which worked out perfectly having access to the hallway for our cocktail reception, the outdoor patio and the ballroom. There was more than enough space for all 170 guests. Crystal Mountain was extremely helpful and understanding with our ethnic requests and decorating for our event. I would highly recommend Crystal Mountain resort.

The perfect northern Michigan venue
My wedding day went better than I could have imagined! This was the perfect venue for our wedding; we wanted something that felt upscale but didn’t feel overly formal or stuffy since that isn’t our style. Everything was beautiful from the mountain top ceremony to the reception tent ant the bottom of the hill, and everyone loved the chairlift. Extra bonus for being pet friendly! They let my 10 year old dog walk me down the aisle. Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience.

Gorgeous Outdoor Venue
This was the most beautiful venue for an outdoor wedding. We were so lucky to fall on the peak color weekend and had the most exquisite colors and views. The mountain top was a beautiful place to get married and the tent allowed us to enjoy a reception outside in the fresh air and under the stars.

Incredible Winter COVID Wedding
My husband and I had originally planned a large wedding where we live in the Kalamazoo area for Feb 2021. We were forced to change our plans due to COVID-19 and the restrictions in the state on gatherings during this time. I reached out to Crystal Mountain to see what kind of options they could offer and Carmen one of the Sales/Event Managers was amazing with offering us multiple options to still have our wedding. We were married outside in the Rose Garden and we were able to rent a home on the property where we hosted our intimate reception(14 people) in the walkout basement. The banquet staff delivered everything we needed to the house and we made it beautiful. I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience, the food was incredible and the service from the resort was even better. Stephanie and Carmen went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was special even with the current circumstances.

We had an amazing experience with Crystal Mountain for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding festivities! The day and evening couldn't have been any better. Crystal Mountain was very flexible and their team is truly professional. They were very prompt and patient in answering all of our questions for the entire year leading up to the big weekend. The details and time everyone put into everything made it truly memorable and perfect! We heard so many positive comments about the venue and the beauty of Crystal Mountain from our guests as well.

Absolutely Stunning
We chose an intimate wedding and family dinner at Crystal Mountain for our not-quite-elopement, and it delivered big time on experience. All of our family members stayed within walking distance to each other and nearly all of Crystal's major amenities, dinner at the Thistle was phenomenal, and the Art Park was the perfect place to share our vows. The grounds were absolutely STUNNING in September, and getting married in the "shoulder season" delivered a quiet resort and the perfect backdrop for the blending of two families. Crystal was already a special place for us, but this will hands-down be our favorite experience for many years to come!

Dream Wedding at Crystal Mtn
Heather, Carmen, and the entire Crystal Mountain team were fully invested throughout the entire wedding planning process. Heather was extremely organized before the event, communicated clearly and promptly, and took our wishes into consideration, including personal touches, such as custom drink requests and appetizer options. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. We would absolutely recommend Crystal Mountain in a heartbeat. Crystal Mountain allowed us to have our dream wedding!

Everything was fantastic for our wedding this October at Crystal Mountain. Stephanie and Carmen were always readily available during the planning process. It was such a relief to have someone with experience. During the day of the wedding Carmen and Stephanie were extremely helpful and resourceful. Our wedding went extremely smooth without a single hiccup. Friends and family are still saying how convenient and fun the wedding was. The food was fantastic and the convenience of everything was wonderful. If we were to do it over, we would not change a single thing. We both had more fun than what we expected and were able to enjoy the day with our closest friends and family.

Absolutely gorgeous wedding and reception. We also had our rehearsal dinner at a restaurant at the resort. We have had so many guests raving about how beautiful and fun our wedding was. Stephanie and Carmen were both extremely responsive and helpful! Our wedding was exactly what we wanted and we were able to make it extremely personalized to us. Would definitely recommend! The food was delicious! The only issue that we had was that there are a set number of rooms available for a one-night stay at the resort. There are numerous other places available for lodging in the area, though.

First of all, the resort is gorgeous!!! What is better than a quiet location with fun activities here and there?! I wish we could have spent a week at Crystal before our wedding, we just didn't have the time. The prices are a little higher than a typical venue, but it is really nice to not worry about providing silverware, glasses, China, linens or anything like that. It's all pretty much inclusive and that was a huge weight lifted. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our wedding and reception very much. We were married at the Michigan Legacy Art Park and our reception was held at the Hudson Bay room and the settings for both....gorgeous. We really cannot recommend it more. They bent over backwards for us and we're so nice. Thank you, Crystal Mountain for making our wedding so memorable!

My husband and I took one look at Crystal Mountain and fell in love. We immediately booked. Luckily, it turned out to be a good impulsive decision. Everything is so beautiful at Crystal Mountain. The space where we held our reception was intimate and warm (Hudson Bay) and the Mountain Top Deck where we held our ceremony was awesome. Guests get to ride up on a ski lift and the views are spectacular.
Crystal Mountain's staff was very accommodating and helpful every step of the way. They make you feel like your wedding is important. We were very grateful for our event coordinator, Anna- who kept things running smoothly. She was very considerate and took our suggestions. She even helped us pick menu options.
Crystal Mountain is very affordable for a wedding. We had such a great experience there- as did our guests. The lodging was top notch, the food and activities on property were top notch.
Very happy! Thank you Crystal Mountain!

Our wedding on July 1st was absolutely beautiful and seamlessly executed by the thoughtful and attentive staff at Crystal Mountain. Our expectations were exceeded in every way, from the amazing service staff to the tiny details in decor and food, and especially for all the help in planning the big day. Our guests had great things to say as well for the service they received throughout their stays.
Our wedding ceremony was on the mountain top and the reception was under the lodge pavillion tent. I would guess that each of the possible venues are beautiful, but would highly recommend these for an outdoor wedding.

Crystal Mountain is the perfect spot to get married! Whether its in the spring summer fall or winter! We got married outside, on top of one of the mountains, and had our reception in the Hudson Bay Room. They also did the catering, and the food was perfect! I highly recommend the Great Lakes Buffet. Everyone that we worked with was friendly and very helpful.. Its a nice a weekend wedding spot because they offer plenty of places to stay from regular hotel rooms to rental town house type places. The highlight of our day was how our guests got to the top of the mountain, by using the ski lift. I am still getting positive comments about that. It was very different, unique, and fun!

If you are looking for everything to do done in one location this is the place to do it. My Husband and I did not worry about a thing the day of our wedding. Everything was done from getting checked into our room to the transportation around the mountain for pictures. They were also every helpful when it came to the planning and the last minute things that came up. It really felt like we were the only people there that day and everyone was there to help no matter what their role was.

We planned most of our wedding from anywhere from 200 miles away to 2000+ miles away. Julie, Chelsey, and Corrina were wonderful and the entire day went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend this place as a get away for your wedding, anniversary, or just a weekend trip.

Excellent Team to work with
The team at Crystal Mountain made the wedding planning process simple and smooth. From early planning stages their preferred vendor list was helpful for finding professionals in the area. They put together a wonderful tasting to pick out apps and dinner. We really appreciated all the communication with Erin, our event coordinator, she made sure we met deadlines and helped to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. To top it off the property is beautiful giving us stunning photos to remember the day.

Beautiful venue, great atmosphere, and helpful staff
Our wedding was amazing! We got married at the top of the Crystal Clipper, overlooking the resort. The ski lift ride was fun for everyone, and the view was spectacular with beautiful fall colors. The tent where our reception was held was transformed into a masterpiece! Despite the rain, everyone had lots of fun. Having the majority of our guests stay at the resort made the weekend extra special. The variety of places to stay was great and made it easy for our guests to enjoy the festivities!
All of the Crystal Mountain staff were so nice and helpful the entire weekend. The event staff were great to work with for planning the entire year leading up to our wedding. Beyond our own experience, all of our guests raved about the venue and the experience of being at Crystal Mountain.

We had an absolutely amazing experience!
