    Most Beautiful Venue!!

    John and his team at Crystal Peak are absolutely amazing! They were the first venue we looked at on our wedding planning journey and we booked them right away! We knew we wouldn’t find another place that has everything they offer, extremely reasonable prices and did I mention it’s absolutely beautiful there! The whole property, venue, the outside grounds, plenty of parking, it was absolutely beautiful and perfect! It has been a pleasure working with John. He’s very attentive and quick with responses. They have an unbeatable menu and so many options to pick from (we are foodie people!) We absolutely loved that they had a large selection of hors d’oeuvres that would be passed out. We had our food tasting back in February and the food was to die for! Everything we tried was so good. Two days before our wedding we had our final meeting, our rehearsal and our rehearsal dinner there. We brought all our decorations and discussed with John how we wanted everything set up. They literally decorate everything for you and undecorate and box everything up for you when your wedding is over! The other places we were going to look at didn’t offer that so that was a HUGE plus! No one wants that added stress. All we literally had to do was show up and enjoy our special day. John was very helpful and involved in the rehearsal. He worked very well with our officiate (Karen Mowad – Love her!!) that day. The rehearsal dinner was amazing and his staff was so kind and on point. He runs a very well managed and organized place. Our wedding day was our perfect fairytale! John and his staff were great with checking in with me to make sure everything was running smoothly and we had everything we needed. I truly appreciate how easy they made everything for us and we felt really taken care of and they made sure we had the best day of our lives! They helped carry the train on my dress, directed us in our important timeline, they made our wedding day calm, relaxing and a breeze! This place is a gem and literally has it all! Book your wedding or any special event there, you won’t be disappointed!! We will definitely recommend them to everyone we know and of course we hope to be back one day for any special event we have in our family. Thank you John from the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate you and your staff so much!!!! 💜

    The Perfect Day

    John and his staff helped to make our wedding the absolute perfect day. He made the planning process simple and was extremely responsive to each and every question. He is organized and informative and very easy to work with. The venue is beautiful, clean, and a quiet haven off the beaten path. The staff was polite, helpful, and on top of everything. We honestly could not have imagined a more perfect experience and cannot express how wonderful Crystal Peak is. Thank you so much John! I recommend this venue to all!

    Perfect from the start!

    Crystal Peak is a beautiful facility with exceptional options. The menu choices are plentiful and the food is absolutely delicious! We loved having the venue exclusively for our wedding and not competing with other events simultaneously. John and his staff were outstanding! Their attention to detail was fantastic and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. John is an amazing chef! We truly appreciated how he accommodated us with options for the minimum guest count - most venues do not provide this service, and for that we are very grateful. We highly recommend Crystal Peak!

    Key Ingredient to our Perfect Wedding!

    WOW, just WOW! No need to look any further for a wedding caterer! Crystal Peak provided us with TOP NOTCH service and INCREDIBLE food from beginning to end! Owner John Roller helped us to create a custom menu and took the time to come by and see our "backyard venue" in advance to discuss all of our options. He made the planning process virtually stress free and was always available to assist us with last minute details or questions. Everyone who attended our wedding RAVED about the food from the amazingly tasty hors d'oeuvres to the exceptionally delicious dinner buffet! We would 100% recommend Crystal Peak for your special event and we are 100% grateful to John and his entire staff for a simply perfect Wedding Day!!

    Easy to work with, very responsive.

    The food was amazing. We did the buffet with open bar and the lines moved quickly. The venue does not have great acoustics, so you should have your DJ set up ahead of time to do a sound check.

    Crystal Peak's reply:

    Thank you for your review. We do quite a few events here and haven't had complaints about acoustics. Sometimes it has a lot to do with the DJ's equipment and yes I agree with you that the Dj should be set up early and do their sound checks.

    Great People

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Crystal Peak. The staff was amazing. They were very attentive, happy, profssional, and pleasurable to be around. Everything we needed or asked for, they were happy to help. The food was amazing. There was something to eat for everyone. My favorite was the puff pastry. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was perfect. I would highly recommend them for any party, wedding, or other event.

    John and team are amazing!

    Crystal Peak was everything we’d hoped to find in a venue for our special day. The teams attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to move like a well oiled machine we’re so impressive. It is evident that John’s leadership is present and has trained his staff well. The venue was freshly painted and updated and looks amazing! The beautiful chandeliers in both event rooms were dazzling and the entire venue was spotless. John was super responsive and flexible with any and all requests, and the food was out of this world! I’d get married here over and over! Thank you to John and the entire staff at Crystal Peak for making the day I dreamed about my entire life about, so very special!

    Venue Review

    We just had our wedding at Crystal Peak, and aside from just being a beautiful venue to have it at, the entire process was made easier by John and his amazing team. From tours, tastings, random questions that came up, decoration ideas, the rehearsal, and execution of the wedding day- John was extremely helpful and the staff was nothing short of attentive and wonderful. They have everything handled to make your wedding day smooth and stress-free. And the food is incredible- we had so many people tell us they enjoyed everything from the huge selection of apps to the dinner buffet options. John really knows what he is doing.

    Incredible Food and Staff

    From the very beginning going there to see the venue, we met with John and we were immediately taken away by the scenery and the venue. John was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had. He made everything very easy. We went for our tasting and the food was so delicious it was hard to choose! The staff was beyond wonderful, while having our rehearsal dinner, our wedding was pretty much set up before we were done so we got a sneak peek. The food was all packaged up for us before leaving. the day of the wedding went very smoothly John and his staff took care of everything, we worried about nothing. And the FOOD was incredible!!! We also had a brunch catered the next day which was equally as enjoyable.

    Better than we could have ever imagined!

    John and his team were professional, thoughtful and friendly. They made our day so much easier than I thought possible and answered all of our 1 million questions with patience. We are big foodies, and we booked Crystal Peak knowing it was a chef owned venue and boy did we choose correctly. Honestly, the food was the best wedding food we have ever had. You will be in the best hands with John and his team.

    Amazing Venue!

    Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be! John and his staff were so helpful from the time of the initial contract all the way through the day of our wedding. Every question was answered quickly and any concerns we had were addressed. The venue coordinated with our other vendors and the staff at Crystal Peak kept our timeline running smooth.

    The food was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough about the food. We had so many options to choose from and John was able to make recommendations for us as we went through the tasting. The guests loved the selections we chose, and our families are still going on about how delicious the food was!

    I had prepared a lot of DIY details and when I got to the venue on the day of the wedding, everything was just as I had envisioned. It did rain on our big day, but there was a backup plan discussed in advanced and executed perfectly. I cannot thank John and his staff enough for the best, stress free we could have asked for!

    Dream wedding come true

    We choose Crystal Peak not only because it is absolutely stunning, but because there are angels and butterflies on the ceilings and walls. My fiancé‘s mom passed away when he was a child and the butterflies represent a past life and the angels to us represented a sign from his mom that we should get married here. We met with John the owner and Chef at Crystal Peak. We chose our appetizers our menu and he walked us through every single process from the beginning to the day of with no issues patient even though I called him multiple times and emailed him 20 times asking a ton of questions about decorations and what we could have and what we couldn’t have. He made this process seem absolutely effortless on his part. He was so patient so kind and so understanding about everything that I wanted and how I saw the vision of our wedding being. I couldn’t have asked for a better Venue atmosphere food deserts and quality from the serving staff to the owner all had immense repertoire. You are making the best decision by choosing Crystal Peak

    Amazing all around!

    I had a minimony at Crystal peak due to the pandemic and they truly went above and beyond to accommodate mine and my husbands needs to make this day memorable despite the our wedding day being altered due to these unprecedented times. The outdoor set up was amazing and the indoor set up and getting ready space was ideal. I could not have chosen a better venue and team to host my wedding. Thank you Crystal Peak!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We cannot thank John and everyone else for the incredible day we had at Crystal Peak! Everything ran perfectly, on time and in such a professional manner. The food was delicious and all of our guests were raving about it and the service. Their wedding coordinator was fantastic with finalizing all small details and timelines, and also running our rehearsal dinner. We are beyond grateful for everything Crystal Peak had to offer us for our wedding day and would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding experience!

    Hidden Gem

    My husband and I got married here in September and still talk about how lucky we were to book Crystal Peak as our venue. The price was the best of anywhere we looked but you'd think it was the most based on the superior service we received. From the first meeting, to food tasting, our rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, every part of planning with Crystal Peak was amazing. You don't even need a wedding planner because John and his team take care of everything! They set up all our decorations and coordinated the day, checking on us the entire time to make sure everything was perfect. We still have people talking about all the fun they had and the amazing food! I can't recommend Crystal Peak enough!

    Bride and Groom

    John and his staff went above and beyond all expectations. Staff was professional and attentive and never intrusive. The food was raved about by very picky guests many with culinary experience. Crystal Peak is very clean and the venue is gorgeous. They also are very involved with charitable organizations. Pricing is reasonable. Bartenders kept up with demand. Arbor area is perfect with handicap access. Everyone left happy, full and raving about Crystal Peak!!

    Excellent Service and Staff!!!

    Crystal Peak went above and beyond to make my daughters wedding special! Their service to our guests and the wedding party were above our expectations. The wedding party enjoyed the cocktail hour as much as the guests because of the excellent service and attention to detail provided at Crystal Peak. I would highly recommend this facility!!

    The best day we could have asked for

    We could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding. From John’s flexibility with moving the date due to COVID, to the AMAZING food, to his attention to detail, our wedding day was absolutely perfect. John stayed in contact with us every step of the way, answered whatever questions we had, and really treated us like old friends. We couldn’t recommend Crystal Peak enough.
