Michele & Courtney’s Love Story!

Michele and Courtney’s love story is full of joy, connection, and authenticity, and we’re so honored to be a part of their journey at The Pavilion on Crystal Lake. It means the world to celebrate couples like them who show what true love is!

“We’re Michele & Court — we met playing softball at College and started dating in 2016. Since then, our journey has taken us all over the world, with unforgettable moments like getting engaged by the beautiful Bay of Naples in 2023.

As an interracial lesbian couple, finding a wedding venue where we felt truly seen, safe, and celebrated mattered deeply to us. From the moment we visited The Pavilion on Crystal Lake, we knew it was special. Not just for its stunning lake views, but because it gave us the feeling that our love matters.

Sam and the entire team at @ctweddinggroup created a space where inclusivity isn’t just a promise—it’s a lived experience. Every detail made us feel welcome, affirmed, and excited to say “I do” exactly as we are.

To all LGBTQ+ couples planning a wedding: you deserve a venue that celebrates your love fully. We found ours at The Pavilion. 🥂🏳️‍🌈💍
