Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It’s the perfect choice in all four seasons. Each of Crystal Springs’ four distinct wedding properties —the luxurious Grand Cascades Lodge, the bucolic Minerals Hotel, the Celtic-inspired Ballyowen Golf Club, and the gracious Black Bear Golf Club—has both indoor and outdoor venues for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. From refined ballrooms to lush gardens to airy wood pavilions with 360-degree mountain views, you’ll find something beautiful for every time of year.
- It's the ultimate "local" destination resort. Turn your special day into a weekend long shindig; kick off the festivities with a welcome reception, then choose a venue that matches your wedding vibe—each offers one-of-a-kind experiences and striking views. After the "I do"s, keep the celebration going with an over-the-top afterparty and exceptional brunch.
- There are two extraordinary on-site spas that specialize in personalized wedding services. In addition to pampering, you and your guests will have access to a huge array of activities. Archery, fishing, hiking, biking, and golf are just a start—there’s even an entire sports club, and a year-round pool enclosed within a living biosphere!

Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg books weddings as all-inclusive per-person packages, so your food, drinks and cake are built in. Packages include a welcome champagne and lemonade station, passed and displayed hors d'oeuvres, a 5-hour luxury open bar with a champagne toast, a plated dinner with soup or salad, entrées and sides, wedding cake with a petit four presentation, and coffee and tea service. The resort also gives the two of you a complimentary wedding-night stay and one complimentary golf foursome. Decor you bring in needs your own designated person to set it up and take it down.
Yes, at Crystal Springs Resort your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all happen at one of four wedding properties, each with its own spaces. Grand Cascades Lodge offers the Wedding Garden, the Quarry Cliffs beach with its 80-foot rock wall or the Amphitheater, then the Emerald Ballroom for up to 300 or Big Sky Pavilion for up to 350. Minerals Hotel pairs its Wedding Garden with the Diamond Ballroom (up to 225), the Canyon Ballroom (400+) or the open-air Sweetgrass Pavilion (up to 180). Ballyowen Golf Club seats 150 and Black Bear Golf Club 185.
Catering and bar service at Crystal Springs Resort are handled in-house, so your food and drinks come from the resort's own team. For everything else, the resort keeps a preferred vendor list of partners who've worked many weddings on the property, and it highly recommends them. You're welcome to bring your own decor, table numbers and centerpieces, as long as you have a dedicated person to set them up and remove them after the reception, since resort staff don't place or clear decorations.
At Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, wedding packages run $100–275 per person, so your guest count drives your total. That per-person price covers your food and drink: a welcome champagne and lemonade station, passed and displayed hors d'oeuvres, a 5-hour luxury open bar with a champagne toast, a plated dinner with soup or salad, entrées and sides, wedding cake with a petit four presentation, and coffee and tea service. You'll choose one of four wedding properties, Grand Cascades Lodge, Minerals Hotel, Ballyowen Golf Club or Black Bear Golf Club, and the resort adds a complimentary wedding-night stay for the two of you and one complimentary golf foursome.
Your guests can stay right on property at Crystal Springs Resort, which has two hotels: Grand Cascades Lodge with 250 guest rooms and Minerals Hotel with 175. Each wedding can hold a block of up to 25 hotel rooms for the night of the wedding, and the two of you get a complimentary stay on your wedding night. Both hotels have bridal suites, and for a bigger group, the Grand Villa has six bedrooms, each with its own bath, plus a gourmet kitchen and two living rooms. A complimentary shuttle loops the resort campus, so guests can get between the hotels and wedding spaces without driving.
Crystal Springs Resort keeps your whole wedding weekend in one place, with two on-site hotels and four wedding properties that each have their own ceremony, cocktail and reception spaces.
