Reviews for M7 at The Crest Center and Pavilion (11)

The Ben Lippen School Class of '59 had its 50th reunion dinner at the Crest Center on 10/30/09. The school used to be located on the grounds currently occupied by Crest Mountain. Members of the Class had a lovely and memorable evening at the Center. The dinner was delicious and the setting beautiful. Everyone was somewhat overwhelmed to be back on Ben Lippen mountain and greatly impressed with the Center. Most of us had not been there or seen each other in 50 years. I doubt we would have had the reunion had we not been able to meet at the Center. Thank you, Kathryn, for having made it possible.

We got married back in May at the Crest Center and could not have asked for a more beautiful setting or better staff to work with. Everything went smoothly and turned out to be a wonderful and very special event. Amy, La'Zendra, Becky, and the entire staff made everything beautiful for us. We could not have asked for better people helping us with all the planning and details of such a big day. The staff was very organized throughout the planning process and made us feel as if our wedding was the most important event of the entire year. They made all the arrangemnets exactly as we had invisioned them and made it truly a day to remember. We were so pleased with everything and we would recommended the Crest Center for any occassion.

I can't say enough about the Crest Center and Pavillon.My husband and I just hosted a rehersal dinner for my son's wedding and everything was great! We did not have much time to plan,but with the help of Amy every element of our dinner was perfect! Amy made great suggestions on food choices,tablescapes and wine and beer. The entire staff was easy to work with and very professinal,even when I needed help with hairdressers and local stores, they happily assisted.The venue was spestacular!The views were breathtaking, and the food was excellent. If you're looking for a wedding or rehersal party , this is the place!

The Crest Center & Pavilion was the perfect setting for our wedding reception on 8/7/09. The entire staff (Amy, La'Zendra, Kathryn, Becky, and many, many more involved in the prep, serving, cleaning, etc) was such a joy to work with - they were encouraging, flexible, accommodating, maintained excellent communication, and truly made me feel like a princess (even though I'm not really a princess-y type). The food was also wonderful!! Our guests really enjoyed themselves and loved the location. Thank you!!! I would do it all over again!

Thanks M7 at The Crest Center and Pavilion for a great evening we had on 8-14-09. I wanted a venue that people would remember, and this place sure didn't let me down. Family and friends were raving all night about the views and especially the food! A special thanks to the chef and serving staff that night and to Amy and Kathryn for all their help with the planning of my son Ron and Ellen's rehearsal dinner. They did an awesome job.

Thank you Amy, Kathryn, and LaZendra for
all the work and cooperation you gave us in
making Amanda & Eric's wedding an amazing
event. Being it was a destination wedding, we were alittle skeptical as to how things would work out. Well, the guests loved the
Crest Center setting, who wouldn't? The food
was just incredible!! And your entire staff is to be commended for their pleasant and helpful yet professional manners. Thanks to all of you we will have wonderful memories of this special day. Thanks again! Donna Kalinski

The Crest Center Staff were such a delight to work with, they were so cheerful and friendly on my special day. The wedding coordinators, Amy & La' Zendra worked with us to make our day special and even were willing to work with us on the off chance that we would have to post-pone last minute (my husband was almost shipped out by the Marine Corp a week before the wedding). Everyone at the Crest Center works together so seamlessly to make your day as perfect and stress-free as possible. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a beautiful event!

Not impressed. I had my wedding there last fall, and it was absolutely beautiful... thanks to the vendors that I brought in. We had many problems. Many of the things we were promised were not brought to fruition.
The reception area was supposed to be closed. Not only was it open, there was a sign signifying the entrance. People were hanging out in the reception area while the staff were setting up, and even coming into the bathroom I was getting ready in. I had to stay in the ladies bathroom up until 5 minutes before my ceremony because people were still in the reception area. The staff were still not done setting up table decor by time I was walking down the aisle. Upon examining the reception, some of the table numbers were upside down, and the tables were not in the correct position. My new in-laws and grooms man were at a table in the corner, while one of my bridesmaids family was up front and center next to our table by the dance floor.
the bridal attendant was not helpful. She let the door close on my cathedral length veil and pull it back, to my guests laughter and dismay. She was continually asking me questions of what we wanted to do when I have made it very clear in ALL of our planning sessions that I did not want to make any decisions that day(and I had given her a timeline!).
We never got to eat cake outside of our picture cake cutting session, our $150 Grooms cake was never even cut! The bar ran our of glasses and alcohol and mixers when only 85 people showed up, we were expecting 100-110.
I loved the venue, it was beautiful, but if you want to have an event here, please do not depend on them to carry out your wishes outside of the contract you have to sign with them.

My wedding at the Crest Center and Pavillion was the most wonderful experience of my life. I would recommend having any planned event at the Crest Center, as well as, working with M7. M7 has a wonderful, knowledgeable team and can guide you into the direction you would like to go, very smoothly and with confidence. The only thing that kept me from clicking on that 5th star was that there was an incident during my wedding reception that resulted in some of my guests over-hearing someone from the waitstaff making very derogatory comments about the people at my wedding and when confronted about those statements the waitstaff person continued to insult my guests. I understand completely that you are always going to have a bad apple in every bunch and I do not think that this person represents how M7 would like to do business. The situation was regrettable but at the end of the day I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with M7 and the Crest Center and Pavillion!
