As the snowfall gives way to sunshine, we’re already gearing up for the arrival of Spring here at Crystal Gardens! Elegant landscaping work is already underway, with the planting of a variety of stunning flowers and blooms to showcase the beauty of our outdoor spaces. 

Open-Air Chapel Weddings Begin Soon

Along with the arrival of spring comes the opening of our one-of-a-kind open-air chapel, as we host our first chapel wedding of the season on April 7th. We can’t wait to celebrate the bride and groom on their special day, and we’re all hoping for a delightfully warm spring day for their celebration.

Later in April, we’re excited to be bringing back the annual Bridal Show taking place April 19th from 6-8pm – if you haven’t registered yet, make sure you do so!
