Past Couples' Comments
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!
We had signed our contract during the uncertain times of COVID related lockdowns, Jean, as a sales manager, really made us feel comfortable around any cancellations that can happen due to unforeseen events like COVID. She understood what we wanted to execute and she helped us set up the right event framework. 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.”
From start to finish, Black Bear Golf Club was a dream to work with for our 10/14/23 wedding. Lee was the greatest wedding coordinator a couple could ask for. She dished out helpful advice and suggestions, answered all our questions, and was warm and friendly every step of the way. She was a source of calm on wedding weekend and we’re so grateful for her expertise. The food at Black Bear is generous and delicious. Couples have so many tasty options to choose from and your guests will not leave hungry. The cake that Black Bear supplies from Calandra’s is equally incredible.
The reception area is spacious — there’s two bars, ample seating, and a large dance floor. The room for cocktail hour is a nice inside/outside space, with enough room for guests to spread out, enjoy each other’s company, and take in the scenery. It poured on our wedding day, so we weren’t able to use the outside ceremony area, but the staff did an incredible job setting up inside — the extra decorations and touches they added made it feel just as beautiful. If you get married in fall like we did, prepare to be wowed but all of the pumpkins, gourds, mums, and harvest vibes.
Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the mountains — our guests couldn’t believe how breathtaking they were as the fog rolled in, and the gentle wisps of foliage sprinkled within. Net/net: Black Bear is affordable in terms of the wedding industry; the food is delicious and bountiful; the scenery is beautiful; and the staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve been replaying this wonderful day in my head endless since the big day. THANK YOU for everything!”
I can’t say enough AMAZING things about this venue. I have wanted to get married here for so many years so of course once I got engaged I ran to this venue within 48 hours of being engaged. 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. It cannot get more convenient than that. 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. We ended up getting married in the ballroom since the weather was not ideal outside. Although anyone would be sad to have this change, the venue & Kathleen of course made sure to make it beautiful. The ballroom is gorgeous and let me say I was not disappointed at all.
In fact, I forgot about being outside for the ceremony. 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. If you select this venue, you won’t be sorry. 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!!
