    Words can’t say enough amazing things about our experience with the CT Wedding Group at the Pavilion on Crystal Lake! From the initial planning process to the final dance of the night, everything was absolutely perfect - and that’s largely due to their incredible staff. They were beyond amazing; professional, attentive and genuinely kind. My grandmother (& everyone else!) can’t stop raving about how wonderful they were (& how GREAT the food was!). We never felt stressed or overwhelmed, and we’re able to focus on being present and celebrating with our guests. It truly felt like they cared about making our day so special and we’re so thankful!

    We had our wedding on May 10th, 2025. It was the best day of our lives. From start to finish the CT Wedding Group helped us all along the way with our planning and dialing in all the last minute details. They’re very professional but also understand the stresses of planning a wedding. They were supportive of all of our ideas, even if it didn’t all play out. Our DOC Shannon was a pleasure to work with and our guests loved the extra care and attention that the staff provided on our wedding day. Food was absolutely great and probably the most important detail of our wedding. Everyone was raving about the food and the whole venue experience. They even gave us one of each meal at the end of the night so we had a chance to enjoy what all our guests were having, even though we were very full from all the food earlier. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding and reception. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a beautiful, rustic venue with professionals to help with wedding planning. This bride was happy and stress free!

    The Pavilion on Crystal Lake was the wedding venue of our dreams! The scenery is gorgeous and provides a wide variety of backgrounds for pictures. The gazebo is a beautiful space for an outdoor ceremony but is sheltered enough that the wind and weather don’t interfere. The pavilion provides enough space for dancing and talking while still feeling intimate. The huge windows along the length of the pavilion provide a beautiful backdrop, rain or shine, for the reception. We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about the Pavilion as a venue, and the connection with the Connecticut Wedding Group was simply the cherry on top!

    Everything about the Pavilion on Crystal Lake was perfect. The planning process was made so easy with their team of planners and coordinators. They also helped recommend other vendors as needed. The day coordination was also incredible. My husband and I were so calm, did not need to stress or worry because everything was taken care of. Sean and Eddy were amazing day of. 10/10 recommend!!
