Easy, straightforward, no surprise fees..

I can’t say enough AMAZING things about this venue. I have wanted to get married here for so many years. That’s how much I love this place. Everything is here...golf, spa, salon, ceremony/reception area and you get the added bonus of a hotel onsite. Plus another hotel down the street if you need extra rooms. Not to mention the staff is amazing...we booked our date with Jean initially and the process with her was SEAMLESS. Easy, straightforward, no surprise fees. And then it only got better. Kathleen, our wedding coordinator, is phenomenal you want someone like her beside you throughout the process and on the big day. There is a reason she’s in this role because this woman is amazing and diligent. I was never scared of how something would look or come out because Kathleen was on top of it the whole time. The ballroom is gorgeous. And then on top of having a coordinator, we had a maitre D, Hector, and a bridal assistant, Sophia. They were so kind and were by my side & my hubby’s side the whole night. They even would make sure my hubby and I got something to eat and drink at all times. They were my right hand the whole night of the wedding. The staff here is nothing less than spectacular. If I could do it again I would pick this venue OVER and OVER. My guests are still talking about how amazing our wedding was. 50000/5 is the review I would give because this place is a dream venue with excellent service and the views are just an added bonus. I will be dreaming about my wedding weekend for the rest of my life. Thank you Crystal springs and all the staff who helped in making our big day amazing!!

They had “The time of their lives."

My daughter’s wedding event, including the hotel arrangements, the barbeque, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, the after party and the farewell breakfast was everything we imagined it would be and more.  The food, the atmosphere, the facility and most of all the people making it happen from the servers to the bartenders exceeded our expectations.  Our compliments to the chefs and the kitchen staff as the food was unbelievable.  The pre-barbeque, including the sunset, was beautiful.  The ceremony grounds were amazing.  The after-party in the pool was a big hit and everyone enjoyed the breakfast giving us a chance to celebrate one last time. You made one Mom & Dad very happy and more importantly a Bride & Groom that went out of their way to tell us the next morning, that they had “The time of their lives.”

Our guests travelled from all over the country and raved about our venue

We had our wedding at Grand Cascades Lodge. It was an absolutely perfect day. Our guests travelled from all over the country and raved about our venue. They couldn’t believe the quality and quantity of the food. Everything you need is right there and it is above and beyond all over venues we have visited. You really get more for your money here. The fact that guests can stay right on the premises and walk to and from is so convenient and the rooms at GCL are stunning. We had our after party in the biosphere and it was a must. It was so unique and fun. In terms of planning, it couldn’t have gone better. My friends all told me I NEEDED my own planner but when I met Sarah I felt at ease. I didn’t hire one and it was 100% the right decision. I had a long list of questions for Sarah at our planning meeting and I didn’t even need to ask any of them because she covered them all. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made the day of seamless and fun. Our groomsmen were difficult and she rallied the troops perfectly. She is excellent and essential. Hector was my bridal attendant and he was a doll. He always had a cold drink for me and he made sure I was comfortable and even kept changing my shoes! He is a calming presence and a perk I didn’t realize I needed. The staff was really all wonderful. It has been three months and we still can’t stop talking about how beautiful and special our day was. It was more than we could have dreamed of and we will cherish it forever! This venue is an excellent choice!

Would definitely recommend getting married here, it was truly perfect!

To the brides and grooms who say they don’t eat on their wedding day, Crystal Springs makes it impossible for you to miss a meal! We have a massive platter of cheese in our room before cocktail hour and another cocktail hour course awaiting us before reception began. Everything was so beautiful and big about our to Chef John! He was so accommodating with everything and really made us feel so special! Would definitely recommend getting married here, it was truly perfect!

The venue itself was spectacular.

Our daughter chose Crystal Springs Country Club/Resort for its beauty at that time of year and so we could have the whole weekend experience. We were not disappointed and have to commend the resort staff for their professionalism and experience. First, the venue itself was spectacular. We had an outdoor, sunset service in the Wedding Garden followed by a fantastic cocktail hour in the Rotunda. The reception in the Emerald Room was also amazing. Our wedding coordinator, Sara McManus was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs, especially as the day drew closer. Helping to manage our list of guests staying at the resort she was very responsive to emails and calls. The professionalism and experience of all the staff was so amazing, from Brett the Banquet Manager to Hector the Maitre d' to the assigned Bridal and Groom attendants made the whole weekend a fantastic affair. Even the chef came out at the reception to check on how dinner was...and it was amazing. Our guests all raved about the wait staff, bartenders, the food and accommodations. They really know what they are doing and have the staff to help you every step of the way. It was truly a memorable affair.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect!

From the moment we stepped into Crystal Springs Country Club, we knew this was our dream venue. It provides the perfect balance of rustic, elegance, and nature vibes. From day one, our wedding planning experience was seamless. Kathleen, our coordinator, absolutely crushed it! She was so helpful, organized, and just a genuinely lovely person. It was incredible to see her bring our vision to life on wedding day. We wouldn't change a single thing. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We continue to receive amazing feedback from our guests about how great the staff was, how delicious the food was, how beautiful the venue was, how nice the hotel rooms are - I could go on and on. Our Maître d and Bridal Attendant were extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire night - we were able to enjoy the night because of their coordination and help. And the cherry on top - we hosted our after party at the Biosphere Pool and it was a HUGE hit!!! People will talk about our wedding for years to come because of the pool…We would 10000% choose Crystal Springs Country Club again (I honestly wish I could go back and throw our wedding all over again!) They are a well-oiled machine that makes wedding planning easy and delivers a top-notch experience for both the couple and the guests.

Overall, our experience with Crystal Spring and its staff was extremely positive.

We had our wedding at Grand Cascade Lodge on May 7th, 2022. There are no words that can describe how beautiful this venue is. However, what makes this venue even much better is its staff. They are kind and showed us great hospitality for seven different wedding related events we hosted there. We specifically worked with Kathleen Conlin and Jean Van De Ree. Both were very easy to work with and took time to understand what we wanted in our wedding. Especially, Indian wedding! Alongside Jean, Kathleen was also great to work with. She is full of positive energy! She carefully took notes and was quite organized. Any obstacles that came during the event, she helped us resolve the issue calmly. Overall, our experience with Crystal Spring and its staff was extremely positive. They helped us execute our big day just like we had imagined! We would highly recommend this venue! We are looking forward to hosting many more events here in the future!

They helped make our day special!

The team at Crystal Springs (Dana and Kaya especially) were very helpful in organizing and making the wedding vision come true! When the weather looked iffy Dana was helpful in outlining our options and patiently waited with us when we had a last minute change to outdoor sunshine. When my dress strap ripped three times Kaya was right there with me helping to sew it back on. The team set up all of our decor and made it easy to transition between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They helped make our day special!

They have great relationships with their recommended vendors, and it really is nice to work with people who know the venue better than you.

The venue is beautiful, having food, hotel, shuttle, coordinator, maitre d, all handled by a small group of people was really convenient for me. Laura Estanislau and Daniel Castro were phenomenal to work with and they took care of me, helping keep my wedding day organized, beautiful, and fair. Laura pulled strings to help get me the best deals in light of shifting Covid expectations. Daniel helped not only me, but my wedding party and family members happy, and gave them 5-star service, while keeping us on track throughout the day. They have great relationships with their recommended vendors, and it really is nice to work with people who know the venue better than you. Any pains I had with the venue had mostly to do with changes that took place due to rescheduling. They were so minor and had no impact on the beauty of the day (menu changes, and coordinator changes through the process)

They really didn't miss a detail...

We had a wonderful experience with Crystal Springs Resort/Grand Cascades Lodge for our December 2021 wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Dana Mankin, and Maitre D, Daniel, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure our wedding day was perfect. They really didn't miss a detail, and we felt like royalty the entire day (really the entire wedding weekend). We cannot thank Dana or Daniel enough for their professionalism, kindness and incredible attention to detail!

Crystal Springs’s staff thought of everything and it was the wedding we had always dreamed of.

Me and my husband had our wedding at the Grand Cascades Lodge on November 14th and it was truly and honestly a perfect day from start to finish! Crystal Springs’s staff thought of everything and it was the wedding we had always dreamed of. First off, Kathleen, our wedding coordinator was so kind and efficient! She made sure the whole day went off without a hitch. Without her, I don’t know that our day could have run so smoothly. She was always two steps ahead and made us feel at such ease through the whole process. We are so grateful! Next, Daniel, our maitre d’…..WOW. He knew all of our needs before we even knew what they were, and was constantly a step ahead making sure the reception/cocktail hour went perfectly. He gave us space when appropriate and was right next to us when we needed something. Whether it was bustling my dress in no time flat or always having drinks at our table, he was a huge part of why our wedding was as perfect as it was. In addition, the food at Crystal Springs was fantastic! Our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun or special day thanks to the wonderful staff at Crystal Springs!

The food was amazing, the views were beautiful, the staff were friendly.

I absolutely love this place! Our wedding was at crystal spring golf club in the emerald ballroom. The food was amazing, the views were beautiful, the staff were friendly, but by far one of the best parts was the Maitre D, Daniel! he really made our time at crystal spring and our wedding the most amazing experience of my life. He is friendly, funny, personable and just overall an amazing human being. He made the night so so smoothly - I forgot to put 3 people at tables and he took care of it so quickly, almost like it never happened! My drink was never empty haha and he bustled my dress is like 1 minute. I would have another wedding just to get to experience him again!!! The venue itself was wonderful — cocktail hour in grand rotunda was beautiful and the spread was ridiculous. More food than I’ve seen in my life. For me and my husband they set up our own private cocktail party in the bridal suite so about 10 min before cocktail hour ended we headed there to eat and relax before the party. The bridal suite is insane! It’s a full suite with living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony with fire place, and huge room with vanities to get ready. The grounds are incredible and there are so many good places to take pictures, rain or shine! I love that grand cascade is connected to the golf club, that way guests who stay don’t have to go outside to get to the ballroom and back again to their room . The amenities are awesome too— sweet indoor pool so go early if you can! You can have an after party at the pool so extra $$$. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Napa room in the wine cellar — it was private and super fun ! Daniel was also at that helping me out because I had no idea what to do :) You honestly can’t go wrong with this place — it rained earlier in the day ans we got married inside and it was just as nice as outside! They re did the ballroom — gray and white neutral colors and it looks so much better. Did I say the food was amazing? Because it was!! Last thing - we got married on a Friday and I totally recommend because the hotel is less crowded !

We can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

There are no words to describe how truly wonderful the staff at Grand Cascades Lodge was for our wedding. From the beginning of our arrival to the very end, they made everything run smoothly and eased my nerves through the process. The staff did an incredible job making our dream wedding come alive. We met Daniel at our rehearsal dinner (which was perfection), and he was there for us until the very end of our wedding. Every little detail was made possible that night because of him. I still get chills as I think back to our wedding night when he came into the cocktail hour to get us the last few minutes so we were able to see the ballroom before any of our guests. I could never thank the staff enough for the hard work that made it all possible. The true magical moment and what I talk about the most from our wedding night is after we saw the ballroom, Daniel brought us back to our cleaned up bridal suite to a table set for 2. Complete with all the cocktail hour foods and champagne. It was a moment I will never forget as he said, now you have 10 minutes together with no interruptions. Enjoy each other. I could never express to Daniel what that meant to me that he did all of this for us. I wish I could list all the ways he made our wedding truly amazing from his extremely fast bustle to keeping a drink in our hand- I couldn’t imagine our perfect wedding without him. I know the entire staff works extremely hard and I hope they know how thankful we are for them. If you are thinking of having your wedding at Crystal Springs Resort, you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to go back for our anniversary!

Grand Cascades really had everything we were looking for in a venue and more!

Most amazing venue ever!!! Where else can you get a mini destination feel, GORGEOUS views, phenomenal food, and the most incredible, attentive, and creative staff?? Grand Cascades really had everything we were looking for in a venue and more! We loved that our guests could stay right on site and could continue the party all weekend! Our guests loved their stay and many said they would be back for vacations! We had originally planned to have our wedding here in July of 2020, but had to postpone to July 2021. The entire process was handled seamlessly through Jean, the head wedding sales manager. She was always there for questions and help throughout the stressful process of having to move our wedding! We met Laura, our wedding coordinator in March and were extremely impressed with her attention to every detail. Her experience and expertise shown through during our final detail meeting. The day of, she did not disappoint in the slightest! Everything was absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for anything more. She even added special touches to make the day the best it could possibly be! Throughout the process, we kept hearing about the amazing Daniel, the Maitre D who could bustle even the longest train and paid extremely close attention to every detail. He completely lived up to the hype and more! One of my favorite moments of the day, was when he took my husband and I a little early from cocktail hour to go look at the ballroom before the guests came in. I was absolutely overwhelmed with emotion because everything looked so beautiful and I couldn't believe we were there! Then, he took us to the bridal suite where him and the bridal attendant had set up a special table for us with Champagne and food from the cocktail hour. They gave us 15 minutes alone to just relax and take everything in. This a moment I will cherish forever! During the reception, every time we needed a drink, Daniel was there! My bustle also came undone, and he was there to fix it! There is no way the day would have gone so smoothly without him. We are so grateful to have been able to work with him! We also had an afterparty at the biosphere pool and it was one of the best decisions ever! We and our guests had a little bit too much fun and it will be something that will stand out in our guests minds forever. It was an absolute blast! What other venue offers an after party at the pool with a waterslide?? If you are thinking about visiting any of the Crystal Springs properties, DO IT! You will not be disappointed, especially at Grand Cascades. :)
