Nunez-Vazquez Wedding
Our wedding was absolutely stunning! We had our wedding at the Sweetgrass Pavilion at the Minerals Hotel and it was so beautiful. The foliage was at its peak and the weather was gorgeous. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day and evening. The pavilion is gorgeous especially during sunset. It’s very picturesque with the Mountain View and everyone was raving about how beautiful & breathtaking the venue looked. This venue and Crystal Springs resort in general, is such a wonderful place to get married. It feels like a destination wedding without all the hassle and gives your guests the opportunity to make a vacation out of your wedding. There is so much to do at the resort, both Minerals Hotel & Grand Cascades Lodge. Our guests truly enjoyed themselves!!! So did my hubby and I! Also, it’s all inclusive & the prices were very affordable! The staff at the minerals hotel were so friendly, and professional. Dana was our coordinator and Kaya was our bridal assistant. They were PHENOMENAL! They went above and beyond to make our day so special and exceeded our expectations. We were planning our wedding for 2 years and communication with Dana and the entire team at the Minerals Hotel was so effortless and wonderful. They answered every question that we had and even made time to meet us in person at the venue and/or virtually via Google meet or FaceTime. Dana is a rockstar of a coordinator and every bride will be in good hands with Dana. Kaya was such a sweetheart and took care of me all day and evening. She went above and beyond and I truly appreciated everything she did for me from making sure I looked great in pictures, fixing my veil as i walked down the aisle, keeping my glass full, and more!!! She truly did any & everything to make sure I’m happy and taken care of. Dana & Kaya took the time to make sure that my husband and I were taken care of, as well as, our bridal party & immediate family. Everyone was so pleased with how they were cared for. Now the food….it was AMAZING!!! My guests kept raving about the food, especially the prime rib & the mushroom truffle ravioli. Cocktail hour was a hit as well! For an all inclusive venue, we had SO MUCH food during cocktail hour and the reception (we chose buffet which was to die for)! Everything was delicious. The bartenders kept everyone happy all night and the drinks were on point. The maître d’ was awesome as well! He was so friendly, and made sure that everything went according to plan, and it did! We had our after party at the kites restaurant in the Minerals Hotel and that was such a fun time! The after party was not an additional cost which was a plus! Also, The hotel provides a shuttle for guests that are staying at the Grant Cascades Lodge, which was super helpful. Overall, I couldn’t have picked a better venue! Future brides, this is the one! My husband and I wish that we can relive our wedding again. It was perfect and it was everything that we could ask for and more all thanks to the staff at the Minerals Hotel for making sure that our day was perfect in every way, shape and form! We are forever grateful!! THANK YOU!!!!! -

Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals Hotel - AMAZING!!
Our wedding at the Minerals Hotel in July 2023 was amazing! The reception at the Sweetgrass Pavilion was magical. Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they've ever attended.
The Sweetgrass Pavilion for the reception was enchanting. The stunning backdrop of the mountains, the gorgeous gardens, the wooden bar, and the warm lighting made it a fairytale-like atmosphere. Despite it being a hot summer evening, the night felt relaxed and vacation-like, and the fans inside the pavilion kept our guests comfortably cool. We were initially concerned about space for our 170 guests at 16 tables, but it was perfectly comfortable.
Due to the summer heat and full sun in the garden at 5:30 pm in July, we had to move the ceremony and cocktail hour inside. While we were sad to not have the ceremony in the beautiful garden, our guests were grateful for not having to sit in the hot sun, and it was still lovely and beautiful inside.
The staff at Minerals Hotel were outstanding, and we owe a huge thank you to the exceptional planners and attendants, Rebecca, Dana, and Kaya. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, taking care of every detail flawlessly, and going above and beyond to make our day special. Their efforts made the entire planning process and the event itself stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries.
The food was simply delicious, and our guests raved about the menu, especially the mac & cheese bar. Everything came out on time and was presented beautifully.
If you're searching for a wedding venue that will surpass your expectations and create an unforgettable experience, the Sweetgrass Pavilion at Minerals Hotel, Crystal Springs Resort, in Vernon, NJ is the perfect choice. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, thanks to this amazing venue and its fantastic team!

We choose Minerals Hotel for our wedding in order to have all our guests on location and to have all our events for the weekend in one place and Minerals did not disappoint. We were able to have a private Wine Cellar dinner at Crystal Springs Grand Cascades, the rehearsal dinner at Minerals, spa day at grand cascades, the ceremony and reception and the morning after brunch all at Minerals without a single hiccup. Dana and Rebecca made sure everything was booked and scheduled according to plan before we arrived. We were able to enjoy the resort and weekend with friends and family without a worry about the wedding or planning. Our friends were able to golf at Crystal Springs and others were able to enjoy the pool. We had an incredible time and really did not have to worry about the ceremony or reception. Kay was there during the day of the wedding to make sure we had everything we needed and ensure that everyone was in place. During the reception, everyone was dancing and partying all night. Kay made sure we were taken care of and that we always had food, drinks and knew what was happening next. Everyone gave extremely positive and raving reviews about the food and there was so much variety. It was an extremely smooth and perfect weekend, where we could truly rely on the resort to handle everything. -

Choosing Minerals Resort and Spa was the best decision for us, and we had the best day on our wedding day. We were looking for a spot where all the events (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) were in the same place and close to accommodations for our guests. Minerals covered this perfectly. We were also looking for a rustic venue, and the pavilion was the perfect aesthetic that we were looking for in a venue. On top of being both a convenient location and look, the package that Minerals provide is a great deal and honestly no-brainer. Dana was wonderful to work with and everyone on the day of the wedding was so helpful. I wish I could go back and relive! -

I just booked my venue with Mineral Springs Resort in NJ. Nicole has been so helpful. I had previously went to a wedding there and had such an amazing time. As I looked for my venue nothing really compared. My fiancé and I ended up taking a trip to NJ and he fell in love with the venue and we booked right after. I can't wait for our wedding day! -
Amanda Sent on 07/02/2018My husband and I got married in the Pavillon at Minerals Hotel and the entire wedding weekend was amazing. We loved having all wedding activities centralized to the hotel and the garden ceremony space and covered Pavillon created the perfect romantic, garden party vibe we were going for. Nicole, Samantha and the whole Minerals staff were wonderful to work with. They were very responsive and they made sure every last detailed was taken care of throughout the wedding weekend.

Amazing Service, Unique and beautiful space, all in one place
When looking for a venue, we knew we wanted to be able to have the ceremony and hotel in one place. We looked at probably 15 venues throughout NY / NJ and Minerals and the Sweetgrass Pavillion were far and away the best - particularly when considering the price point! The Pavilion is such a unique space. The grounds were beautiful, we got married in late october and the foliage was at its peak for our wedding, we had guests who didn't know New Jersey could look so much like New Hampshire. We were blessed with amazing weather, but we had no weather worries on the big day, because we were the only wedding at the venue so could have easily made the call to move everything indoors to the Diamond Ballroom if we needed to. Dana, Rebecca, and Kaya were absolutely amazing to work with, they are true professionals that made the day run so smoothly, for us as well as our vendors. They brought a great fun energy to the day, and took such good care of us, along with all our friends and family. And that extends to all the staff at Minerals - Chef Andy, Joe at Kites, the bartenders who worked our wedding all went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of. The food was delicious and beautifully displayed - from the cocktail hour, to the reception food, to the everyday food at kites. After the wedding we stayed a few extra days with family at the resort and it was so nice to have that time all together, enjoying the pool and all the amenities, there's so much to do here, both indoors and outdoors.
We can't recommend Minerals and the Sweetgrass Pavilion enough! We came in confident that the day would be amazing and the team here beyond exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a better day and the Minerals was a huge reason why. Can't wait to go back for a long weekend for our anniversary :) -

My husband and I got married at Sweet Grass Pavillion on 10/08/23 and it was a dream come true. Rebecca was very helpful booking our wedding. Dana was very helpful the week leading up to our wedding and the day of! She even gives you her cell number which was super helpful! She decorated the pavilion beautifully and made it so us! Kaya the bridal attendant is literally the best. We were lucky enough it did not rain on our big day but it was chilly. She got blankets for all the elderly people at our wedding. She set our room up and it was so sweet and cute!! I cannot say enough amazing things about her! We both didnt really eat much as the day just flew by but everyone said the food was some of the best wedding food they have ever had! Minerals hotel was amazing, all the staff were very nice and our guests did not have one complaint! We truly had the best day ever! -

Our experience planning a wedding at Minerals Hotel was, in a nutshell, seamless. The administration was accommodating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and allowed us to push the wedding, 2 times, during those uncertain times without question. We were finally able to have our big day in May 2023 and it was truly our dream wedding. Every member on the Minerals Hotel events team was crucial in making our vision come to life. From Nicole and Dana who guided us throughout the planning process to Kaia, Terry, the chef, kitchen and waitstaff who ensured the day of details were executed, it was an amazing team to work with. Overall the team is organized, communicates effectively, and cares to make your event a success.
It was important for us to find a hotel venue with beautiful grounds that could accommodate a large welcome dinner, the ceremony, an outdoor reception, and an after party – and Minerals Hotel checked all the boxes. The hotel, property, and Sweetgrass Pavilion are beautiful and well maintained. We held our reception in the Sweetgrass Pavilion, which allowed us to have the security of an indoor wedding (in case of rain), but with the outdoor feel we wanted. Dana, her team, and our wonderful floral designers, Stephanie and Jesse Williams from Whisper and Brook Flower Co. decorated the Pavilion beautifully, again, executing our vision perfectly. The timeline we planned was followed, and even though it rained on our day, the team seamlessly pivoted to move cocktail hour and pictures indoors. Our reception was still able to be held in the Sweetgrass Pavilion.
The food at the welcome dinner, cocktail hour, and the reception was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Typically at weddings, we have found that the food at the reception is nowhere near as good as cocktail hour, but that was absolutely not the case here. Since the wedding, we have received many compliments from our guests about the food and their overall experience staying at Minerals Hotel, with more than a few people saying they plan to go back to Crystal Springs Resort for a weekend getaway.
Now, no wedding is perfect, there are so many moving parts it's foolish to think everything will go off without a hitch. Our one criticism is that we did not receive back all of the items we brought to the venue (e.g., extra blankets left by guests in the pavilion after the reception, rechargeable fairy lights, decorative glass bowl from the amenity basket, etc.) and were missing approx. $250 worth of items. We were told if the items were found they would reach out but we never heard back. A minor hiccup in an overall very successful event.
We loved our experience planning and hosting our wedding here and highly recommend checking out Minerals Hotel, Crystal Springs Resort for yourself.

User1823364 Sent on 09/22/2014Minerals was the perfect wedding venue! Nicole helped me plan my wedding in June and I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. No detail was missed and every single one of my guests had an amazing time. The food was perfect, the staff didn't miss a beat! By the end of the night my guests were hugging the bartenders goodbye and everyone was having a blast. We had our after party at the Tiki Bar, which was one of the reasons we booked this venue. It was a perfect outdoor/indoor New Jersey summer wedding! And thanks to all the staff- the best day of our lives!
