All Orientations

Hosting commitment ceremonies and civil union celebrations since its opening, Crystal Springs Resort has long been a welcoming and proud host to the LGBTQ+ community looking to celebrate devotion to a life’s partner. We are ecstatic to also host officially-recognized same sex weddings in New Jersey. Our event planners work hard behind the scenes so you can bask in the glow of love on your special day.

Same-sex weddings come with some unique situations. You may want to create a wedding party of friends and family, regardless of gender or traditional definitions. Two brides can have two best men — or two maids of honor. You may choose to call the group "honor attendants" for a gender-neutral name. Or skip attendants all together. 

And who gives away the bride when there is none, or two? Remember that etiquette for any wedding, including LGBTQ+ weddings, is based on loose guidelines and every couple should create the ceremony that's right for them - which we embrace at Crystal Springs Resort.
