Reviews We Love

  • This team really cares about their brides and grooms. They go above and beyond. They were more than I could have ever imagine and helped make my day go better than I could have ever asked for. Get married here!! You won’t regret it. My guests also said the food was amazing, and the space was stunning! Also the bridal suite is awesome- huge space and perfect for getting ready.

    — Jocelyn, February 2024 Wedding
  • The Crystal Ballroom was the first and only place we looked. As soon as we began speaking to the staff and saw the rooms, we loved it. We got married last Friday and everything went incredibly smoothly due to the amazing staff.

    — Alyssa, September 2023 Wedding
  • Our experience with this venue is beyond words. From the start they were nothing short of spectacular. They were very attentive, answered all emails promptly (usually within a few hours!) which was extremely important to me. We felt very comfortable asking them questions as their responses were always friendly and professional. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more and it is because of all of the sweet, caring people who work at this venue.

    — Jennifer, December Wedding
  • All our family and friends enjoyed the beauty of the fountain, reception hall and also the food! My husband and I kept saying we wouldn’t want to change a thing about our wedding!
