An amazing rustic venue

Pavilion on Crystal Lake was the absolute best venue for our wedding. From the start of the planning process to after the wedding their team was supportive, responsive and helpful. CT Wedding Group helped to decrease our stress in the planning process and make the time enjoyable. Our day of coordinator, Sean, was amazing!! He was so informative, supported us, made sure we always had what we needed including food/drinks! Sean made it a priority to check in with the Bride and the Groom AND our parents and parties. He was the best and our day ran so smoothly! The venue itself is gorgeous! It’s perfect for a couple looking for a modern/rustic/outdoorsy look! The lake, ceremony site and inside is beautiful, (we loved the lights and greenery inside!). Food was amazing from cocktail hour to meals. Our guests had an amazing time. I have no complaints at all!

Most amazing venue and team!

The Pavillion On Crystal Lake is the most amazing venue I have ever seen and experienced. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married! The team was absolutely amazing and accommodating. My wedding day of Coordinator, Sean, made me feel relaxed as the bride and provided my husband and I with everything that we could want and need on that day. He made our wedding day run so smooth! It was the most amazing, perfect, and fulfilled my dream wedding!

Dream wedding, thanks to CT Wedding Group

Our experience with getting married at The Pavilion and with the CT Wedding Group was amazing from start to finish. The CT Wedding Group is absolutely fabulous and you truly want them being the ones organizing and planning your special day. From the beginning we knew we were in good hands, the wedding coordinators send out periodical emails with what should be next in the wedding planning journey. They have the couple schedule occasional video chats and in person meetings when it gets closer to the big day. Throughout the planning if you had a question, they encourage emails, as the bride I utilized this very much! I would send over inspiration pictures and details about decor for that ceremony and reception, with all this information they start adding it to your wedding profile. The amount of care and time they gave with emails and video calls was wonderful and felt great knowing you were in such good hands. On my wedding day I had zero worry that my vision wasn’t going to be executed.

With in a week of the wedding you get assigned a “day of coordinator,” trust me when I say…Every single coordinator is wonderful and talented. Our wedding coordinator was Melinda and she was nothing shy of perfect!!! We appreciated her thoroughness on every detail for our wedding. She was supportive, helpful and cared about us during the biggest day of our lives. Melinda and the staff at The Pavilion were professional, kind and attentive! Our “favor” was a candy table that I prepared and brought the day of, rather than me being stressed about the assembling of my candy table, they displayed and set it up better than I could have even imagined. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. I was brought to tears seeing how amazing our reception looked, thank you for all you did!

The food…DELICIOUS!! This will be the best wedding food you and your guest will ever have, I said what I said! Our families were raving and complimenting the food with the highest praise. The Pavilion has a talented chef & kitchen and I believe this is something that sets them apart from other venues. You will be floored by the delicious food and they venue makes sure to feed the guests well, no one leaves hungry. We opted for a cocktail hour “enhancement,” the Mac & Cheese bar and a “late night snack,” pizza!! The enhancements were well worth it for us, our guests LOVED the additional food during the cocktail hour and reception. Another enhancement well enjoyed by our guests was the “tasty bar snacks,” this was well enjoyed by our bar drinkers who grabbed some thick cut bacon and chips when getting a cocktail.

Overall, The Pavilion on Crystal Lake and the coordinators in the CT Wedding Group made the wedding of our dreams come to life. I can’t say it enough, but the CT Wedding Group has so much care and love for the couples getting married. They show and represent organization from start to finish in the wedding planning journey. We are beyond grateful and lucky to have picked the CT Wedding Group to put together our wedding at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake.
