Description

Crystal Mountain first opened for skiing in 1962 with 2 rope tows and a double chairlift, and grew slowly over the first few decades. Today it’s Washington’s largest ski resort with 11 lifts and the only 8-passenger Gondola in the State. If you are planning a wedding for 50 – 400 people then consider Crystal Mountain Resort, located just 6 miles from the northeast entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. Surround yourself with lush forests, colorful wildflowers and gorgeous alpine scenery. Say “I do” at 6,872’ with Mt. Rainier as your witness on the Mt. Rainier Platform. You and up to 200 guests will enjoy a scenic gondola ride up to the mountain-top ceremony platform along with breathtaking views of Mt. Baker, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier prominently set as your backdrop. On a clear day you can see 5 active volcanoes from the top of the gondola. If you are looking for a rustic mountain ceremony, consider the Bullwheel with its high vaulted ceilings, heavy timber beams, and floor to ceiling window backdrops with far and wide views of the resort. For an outdoor wedding surrounded by mountains and closer to the ground, the Sundeck is idyllic. This scenic open-aired ceremony or reception venue, located out front of our base lodge, is surrounded with a clear glass enclosure offering endless views of East Peak, Gold Hills, meadows of tall mountain grasses and seasonal wildflowers, as well as the Mt. Rainier Gondola line.
