Neil Topliffe, spokesperson for the site says, “Crystal Conference Center has been a pivotal place for so many people of all ages, but as we change with the times, we look forward to sharing this beautiful site with any non-profit group that would like to gather and needs a place to do so.”
“With the beauty of Crystal Lake, this facility makes a very picturesque backdrop for beautiful wedding photos. We are happy to supply wedding planners with the information they need to provide their clients,” says United Camps, Conferences and Retreats (UCCR) Marketing Manager Laura Chamberlin.
