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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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... Read more 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!

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!

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!

Our wedding was absolutely stunning. The mountain top ceremony has beautiful views for miles, and what an experience for our guest to ride a chair lift up to it. The staff were very helpful start to finish. Everyone was very helpful and attentive to myself and all my family and friends

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.

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!

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.
