Every time we turned around she was there to see if we needed anything. I walked out of that first meeting knowing that I was going to book this venue for my wedding! From the beginning of our arrival to the very end, they made everything run smoothly and eased my nerves through the process. There was such an abundance of delicious food and drinks, I was full before dinner! Everyone happily danced the night away! We finally had no choice but to issue 3 credit card charge-backs with Chase. Again, shes amazing! I walked in and turned to my fianc and said "I am about to get my heart broken there is no way we can afford this". Alongside Jean, Kathleen was also great to work with. Perfect for a wedding weekend. Every time I needed something it magically appeared in front of me two seconds later. The father-daughter dance was perfectly set with a twilight backdrop of the mountains. Choosing Minerals Resort and Spa was the best decision for us, and we had the best day on our wedding day. The wedding staff at the resort is exceptional. You made every facet of our experience more perfect than we could have imagined. Overall, it was about as perfect of a night as we could have asked for and we can't recommend this place enough! There was a hick up in the night with our centerpiece delivery but Jenna and Daniel handled it with ease! 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.

My guests still talk about it! Guests waited in the hallways after the ceremony as the cocktail rotunda was not yet ready. Sweet Grass Pavilion is so beautiful and the staff was so helpful from the time we booked all the way to our wedding day! This might be unconventional to write a review before our wedding, but current COVID brides should know how wonderful it has been to be working with Julie at Ballyowen Golf Club, despite all of the tribulations this disease has given the world. We were supposed to be married 4/17/2020 and due to COVID we obviously were unable to get married and had FOUR different dates booked with Ballyowen.

Julie communicated with me throughout all of the regulation changes over the past few months and we were finally able to get married on 10/30/2020 with 78 guests in and outdoor event.

Jean helped us book this venue within budget which was ama We got married October 13, let me just tell you I am still on cloud nine from our wedding. All in all, I highly recommend this venue. It was COLD but the staff had heat lamps, floor heaters and a fireplace to help make everyone as comfortable as possible. Nicole was our point person for the months leading up to the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend having an after party in the biosphere! Every woman dreams of her own special wedding day. We met Laura, our wedding coordinator in March and were extremely impressed with her attention to every detail. Our wedding coordinator Sarah Mugavero was incredible and made the entire process so much fun. It was incredible to see her bring our vision to life on wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch in the most beautiful setting, we are still hearing praises from our guests! Everyone talked about how beautifully set up everything was. The day-of flow & support was fantastic. I would recommend this place to everyone. My father-in-law said it best, "The staff was there every time I didn't even realize I needed them." It was seriously the most perfect day due to the AMAZING service we received from everyone at Mineral Springs. The staff are so nice and truly go out of their way to We got married at the sweetgrass pavilion at minerals hotel. The steak meal was honestly the best steak I've ever had at a wedding (i know we're biased). Over the past 4 months with the holidays just passing, we have seen about 3/4 of the wedding attendants and everyone to date was still drooling over the food and reminiscing over the picture-esque venue that is Crystal Springs. The staff's many services combined with the stunning event spaces allow couples to easily host the wedding of their dreams. She was there on the day of our wedding to finish last minute touches with an icy blizzard outside, and everything looked absolutely stunning. First of all, our wedding coordinator, Traci, was wonderful to work with from day 1. We had minor hiccups throughout the day (salad was different than originally selected- but delicious, a bit of a humid cocktail hour room- to be fair though all of NJ was God awful humid this past weekend, & slight miscommunication about when to take pictures) but nothing that would ever make me regret the decision of selecting Minerals for our wedding. Weddings. So glad we were able to make such an important day in your life so memorable. Jessica was nothing short of incredible. Her most wedding-saving task was dealing with the wardrobe malfunction of the bridal gown.

Our rooms, events, food and the service were outstanding! Throughout the process, we kept hearing about the amazing Daniel, the Maitre D who could bustle even the longest train and paid extremely close attention to every detail. This was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives. Nicole answered my million different questions I had in a very timely manner and had no problem with the amount of times we changed our minds. Would definitely recommend getting married here, it was truly perfect! Give us a call or send a request for information so we can secure one of our remaining dates! The Sweetgrass Pavilion was romantic and gorgeous We had our wedding @ the Black Bear Golf Club and it was everything and more we couldve hoped for. We did a big room block, the girl who we set everything up with was absolutely fantastic - but 90% of the time when our guests would call to book rooms they would say they were sol We hosted our a wedding at crystal springs this fall and couldnt have been happier with our experience. After MONTHS of stress, I'm so so happy with the way everything turned out. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIFE. The transfer of flowers from ceremony to reception was flawless. We also wanted somewhere that we can have a full wedding weekend of fun with family and friends without breaking the budget. The entire day was smooth and our guests had an absolute blast because of how wonderful the staff was at Ballyowen. Ballyowen was by far the most beautiful, private, and within our budget. In the months leading up to the wedding we felt the communication could have been better however none of the small details were missed. Before wedding day I spoke primarily with Nicole and Dana who were also amazing. he food, venue, people, and everything in between was perfect! I have zero complaints. All of our guests have said wonderful things about the venue including its size, picturesque view, food, and service. Nicole assisted us with finding rooms for our remaining guests as there were luckily some cancellations, and we were able to find VRBO properties for other guests, but it did cause serious stress for us during the planning process. When we got back to the bridal suite after the reception the room was set up so beautifully with the bouquets, rose pedals and my vail laid across the headboard plus a bottle of champagne waiting for us. We were so thrilled to have chosen this venue. We also LOVED the fact that the hotel was on-site and we didnt need to worry about transportation for ourselves or our guests throughout the day and afterwards. The night moved as fluent as possible and all the planning to get to that point was as easy as possible from the Crystal Spring service. Kristen and I appreciate everything this venue and our vendors provided us. If you are someone who is not particular about the details of your wedding, then this is the perfect place. Both events were as terrific as the wedding. Daniel did a fantastic job keeping us on the right track with timing and made sure we had something to eat and drink at all times. From their handling of the pandemic to totally unreachable personnel, I would recommend you stay away from this venue and hotel. Photographer: $3,500-$6,500. The food was amazing at cocktail hour & the reception! Our guests raved about the venue, the presentation, the food, and the accommodations. Any glitch, no matter how small, especially when I look back now, they were quite small! For our after-party we opted to do it in the Biosphere pool which I would also say is a must do. :) The food was incredible, the views were incomparable and everyone had such a great time. My amazing photographer (shout out Stephanie Massaro) and bridesmaids quickly swept in and handled Kristine to ensure everything was set as we had originally planned. In addition we had a no show violinist and I didn't even know there was an issue until after it was already handled. Our five beautiful & unique NJ wedding venues include Ballyowen Golf Club, Black Bear Golf Club, Grand Cascades Lodge . Our guests were also really impressed with the food. I highly recommend Minerals Resort & Spa to every bride and groom, especially if you are looking for something that is not a "cookie cutter" wedding. The wedding reception started at 7, however the Maitre"D did not allow the bridal party and parents to enter till 7;40, so that we missed 40 minutes for no apparent reason. Our guests raved about the gorgeous location, hotel, We got married Oct 6, 2019 and we honestly did not know what to expect. Very disappointing. The scenery was picture perfect and the food was wonderful. It was truly a great weekend! Contact. Fast forward a few months, I was assigned a wedding coordinator Sara McManus who helped us with setting us our tasting, answering any questions we had along the way, final details meeting, etc. Here is to you and your husband having a lifetime of good health and happiness :) Our maitre d, Daniel, was AMAZING. Laundry service is no longer offered. Again, this is just another testament to the attention to detail and the overall service level of Crystal Springs. Even the cocktail hour room was decorated! The timing of things was excellent, the service was on point, and the food and drinks were everything we hoped for. With planning a wedding during COVID it was an even more stressful experience but Julie made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed right away. Also, our vendors were told they would be served last and never even got to eat since the food came out at 10pm. And speaking of food tasting, the FOOD was to die for. The food was AMAZING! My only negative is that we requested Daniel as our maitre d per everything we read on TheKnot about how helpful he was, and he disappeared quite a bit on the day of my husband and I were never taken to the private room during cocktail hour to eat/get a moment of quiet like most other reviews say (we went on our own when we realized there were only a few minutes remaining in cocktail hour and we hadn't eaten anything), and then he didn't come to get us to bring us into the wedding for quite a while there was a solid 20-30 minutes of downtown between the cocktail hour and the reception when everyone but us was ready to party, but we were sitting in a room waiting/not knowing what was happening.
