Crystal Gardens Banquet/Conference/Event Center

It's a beautiful venue- but nothing out of the ordinary. I think the price is far more outrageous than it's worth, though. Weddings are so expensive in the first place, I would think if I'm paying a lot of mey, everything should be over the top and up to date... including the carpet.

Tammy was great to work with as was everyone else on their staff. We had our reception at the Grosse Ile Country Club and the Crystal Gardens staff made sure that everything went just right for our special day! The food was excellent and we had many complements on the chicken marsala! We used the supreme package which was a great way to go because everything was included in one price! Thanks to all the staff that helped make our day so special!

We had our wedding reception at Crystal Gardens. We loved how they had a package deal it made everything super easy to get our planning done. I really believe everything they have there is of great quality. We know of quite a few couples who have also had their receptions at CG in Southgate, and all the guests say the same thing of how they put out a great package! I don’t think we really had a complaint at all with CG.

I loved crystal gardens when I initially came to your the place. My planner was very friendly at first but it seemed as the months passed it seemed my planned was more quick to get us out of there. The day of my wedding I had specifically asked that my cd not play pass a certain point because I didn't find an unedited version. Guests at my wedding were appalled when they heard it played. They didn't ask me before they cut my cake so my husband and I didn't feed cake to one another. It was very frustrating when they started telling me to get my stuff out of the bridal suite. They had other people that they could have went to. I overall was happy with the food and the place in general, I was just dissappointed how I was treated at the end.

Crystal Garden's motto, "We're More Than You Imagined For Less Than You Thought," is nothing short of the truth. The Supreme Package is everything a bride is looking for on her special day...especially a bride planning from another state. For me being out of state it was basically a "one stop shop." I could not have been more happy with how smoothly everything went and how lovely my dream day turned out. We received numerous compliments on how elegant everything was and how delicious the food was. Attending my first wedding after my own, I cannot tell you how much more relieved I was at the package we received for our wedding at the price we did. This particular couple had to have paid DOUBLE what we did and we had more options, such as open bar, endless food amount, etc. Definitely everything your looking for in a venue...clean, friendly, elegant!!!

With Crystal Gardens you pay less to have the best. I received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue is and how accommodating the staff was. They assisted all 200 guests and the food was amazing. They had two other events going on that night( a class reunion and another wedding reception) but it felt like we were the only event going on that night. They were also very flexible with the final guest count and vendor selection. I looked at about 30 venues and I would choose Crystal Gardens again. I've also recommended them to a few brides-to-be!!!

Eventhough they were good for the price they do not tell you everything they offer nor do they give you details, so my advice is asked every question and get clairifcation

We used Crystal Gardens for our ceremony and reception. We had an outdoor ceremony on their patio and it turned out great. The reception also went well and they were very on top of making sure everything went as you wanted.

We were only able to have our reception here since the times they had available for the chapel were hours apart from when we wanted the reception to start. Which was unfortunate since Southgate was way out of the way for our guests BUT we shopped around a lot and other venues couldn't compare to what we got at Crystal Gardens. The food was great, the set up was perfect and our mc was helpful. My only complaints were the hidden fees (tax on rental of their chair covers & set up of table linens we delivered) that weren't brought up until we went over the final costs only a few weeks before our wedding was to take place there and all I got was a blank stare from our rep Kristen when I asked why this wasn't mentioned before.

It was an amazing place in the Howell area for an amazing price!

Everyone there was very courteous, friendly from the start to the ending. When I booked it, they were helpful and answered any and all questions my mother & I had! They were very accomodating and I would recommend them to anyone. YOu can't beat the price for the package you get! And the patio with the gazebo now, is and was just gorgeous and everyone liked the option to go outside as well as be inside :)

The hall was beautiful. They did a great job setting up. The pastry table is worth every penny. However, I asked for the arch to be gone in the chapel and it wasn't. I asked on the day of the wedding for it to be removed and they couldn't, so it is there in all my photos....I was not happy about that. I think that the waiters were great! the service was wonderful. The lady who takes the reservations (Tammy) is not very professional. I think she could be a little more patiant with brides who have concerns and be a little more upfront about hidden costs that Brides have no control over. Flo was very helpful to fix any fees that I was not happy with and was very helpful. I know that "things happen" so, overall, I think they did a very nice job. Their preferred vendors are great!

I am so glad that we went with Crystal Gardens.. Everything I wanted my wedding to be they did!! my wedding turned out soo good. I told them my ideas the ideas i have had since i was little girl and they made it reality!! when I walked to the baquent hall I was blown away it was my dream!!!

Everything was perfect! They took care of everything for us! We loved our package! It made everything nice and easy!!

I was surprised to find Crystal Gardens was within our budget given their high reputation, but they were a better value than all the other halls we looked into in the downriver area such as the Grecian Center, Arnaldo's, Orlando's, etc. Since we had under 200 guests (115) we had our reception at the Epicurean House which is in Trenton, MI. This worked out for the better I believe because there is only one room there so there's no worries about other parties going on on your special day. I booked Epicurean with about 5 months til the wedding date and was happy to find that it wasn't already booked, as most people will tell you to book the hall a year or more in advance (which I think is a little extreme). The hall was just as beautiful as the main Crystal Gardens center, our MC was amazing and attended to our every need (though I didn't even have to ask her for anything she had it all covered!) the servers were great, bartender too, and the best part is the standard bar package is included in your dinner price!!!! No other halls give you that value. You can upgrade the bar if you want but my guests didn't care about brand name alcohol they just wanted free booze lol! The venue has single use bathrooms which is soooo much better than a stall when you & your bridesmaid are holding up a wedding dress to use the facilities! Great experience, highly recommended.

Thank goodness for Crystal Gardens!! Planning a wedding is so stressful and just knowing that Crystal Gardens took care of everything, for our reception and rehersal dinner took so much stress off of us! I also loved that the day of the wedding I received a call from them telling me that the banquet room was set up and looked beautiful!! I yes it was amazing when we arrived for our reception that evening! I still get compliments on our wedding reception to this day! How great the food and service was!Thank you Crystal Gardens for an amazing night that I had always imagined sense I was a little girl!Mr. and Mrs Magee

My husband and I had our wedding at Crystal Gardens and we could not have been more satisfied with every aspect of their service... from the setup... to the constant communication.... to the friendliness of the staff.... to the generosity of their time and facilities. Everything was exactly as planned, if not better. There were items that I forgot to bring to the wedding that they supplied to me last minute, no charge! This is truly a place that puts the couple first... not the establishment!! Everyone commented on how delicious the food was and the service. The inside and outside of the facility is amazing and wonderful for photos. Florence is the sweetest lady around. Ask for her when booking if you want to have a great experience. I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Crystal Gardens. Highly recommended. Use their beautiful chapel as well for your ceremony, it is gorgeous.

The venue was very pretty and elegant. The only thing that I didn't lie was that they nickled and dimed you for every little thing and you weren't able to pick which one of the three rooms they had (we actually didn't know what room we had until 5 days before the wedding, so it was kind of hard for the coordinator to plan things). The food was excellent, a good price for the surpreme package (if you dont add things like a different flavor cake or bringing in your own seat covers), the cake was excellent, the MC was awesome and very attentive. I enjoyed working with the staff at CG and I would recommend this establishent to anyone.

Crystal Gardens was a wonderful place to get married. All of the staff was very helpful. The only negative thing I have to say about Crystal Gardens is that they do not have an area for the Groom and his party to get ready or make last minute corrections, so the guys have to get ready in the parking lot. I would recomend this vendor to anybody who wants a beautiful wedding at a reasonable price.

Great Service, Great Value, Great Food, Great to work with!
