Crystal Springs Resort: A Winning Number

There are many ways to showcase a wedding experience we love, but for the Crystal Springs Resort in New Jersey, we are going to start with the numbers. Ten dining establishments, six golf courses, five wedding venues, two hotels, two spas and, the best number of all: one. This entire luxury experience is one hour from New York City. When it comes to tying the knot with the man of your dreams, Crystal Springs Resort is the only place to wed in the Tri-State Area. 

Crystal Springs Resort is the rare combination of a large-scale resort, and intimate get-away, with personalized hosting that is that of an ultra-luxury experience. Across its five outdoor and indoor wedding venues you will find the perfect setting for your wedding in every season. From its 4-star Restaurant Latour and award-winning Wine Cellar, you will savor a reception for the record books. And from the Grand Cascade Lodge, Minerals Hotel, spas, and golf facilities, you and your guests will inevitably make Crystal Springs Resort the venue for future trips with friends and family. 

As Travis, who recently married at the resort said: “It’s a ‘one stop shop,’ where we were able to have our ceremony, reception, and guest lodging all on-site. The Wedding Garden was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The space still felt private despite being part of the larger resort, and was beautifully landscaped with seasonally appropriate flowers. Our favorite part of the day was cocktail hour and the reception because we were able to bring the flavors and culture of our families into our event. Our reception was held in the Emerald Ballroom, which was a beautiful display of modern elegance. The banquet chef is extremely talented and very accommodating. Our guests are still talking about the food from our reception, especially the pear and mascarpone pasta bundles!” 

But it is the people who make Crystal Springs truly stand out. Travis further shared: “From the moment we arrived at Crystal Springs, we immediately felt welcomed, respected, and comfortable. Our wedding coordinator truly listened to our vision and requests. Throughout the entire process, we did not feel like our wedding was just a number to Crystal Springs. Rather, the Crystal Springs team made us feel as though our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us!” This is where we highlight another number one for Crystal Springs. Yours is the only wedding they will be hosting on any given day in any given venue guaranteeing a level of service, attention, and hospitality that is unrivaled. 

The Crystal Springs Resort program of activities—from golf on any one of its six courses to programs such as archery, sky diving, wine tasting—makes it ideal both for your wedding and, better yet, your honeymoon. As we have often advised, selecting a wedding venue that is also a honeymoon destination is the best way of maximizing your budget, minimizing your stress, and making the absolute most of your guests gathered to celebrate your wedding. After saying “I do” here, make Crystal Springs Resort the spot from which to start your wedded life together, popping in and out of New York City, exploring the nearby Appalachian Mountains, and luxuriating in the resort’s many leisure, spa, and adventure programs.  

Which brings us to two last numbers for Crystal Springs Resort: zero and 10. Zero because there are no other places like it, and 10 because you can’t score a better place for getting married in and around New York and New Jersey!
