DREAM Venue!!
My husband and I recently got married at the stunning Lakefront Pavilion at Bay Pointe Inn — and from the very beginning, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do.” We have absolutely no regrets! The venue is breathtaking on its own, with gorgeous waterfront views that created the most peaceful, romantic atmosphere. On top of that, the staff’s hospitality was next-level. They provided so much helpful guidance throughout the planning process and truly made everything feel seamless. Even without a wedding planner, I felt fully supported thanks to their incredible in-house catering and event managers (shoutout to Mariesa and Juno!) and our amazing day-of coordinator, Meagan. She ran the show flawlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — I truly can’t thank her enough. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner onsite in the Fireside Room, which made everything so easy and gave us extra time to enjoy with our family and wedding party. The food was delicious, and another huge perk was staying in the beautiful Bay Pointe cottages. Having a place right at the venue for all of us to stay and celebrate together made the weekend even more special. All night long, our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. It was everything we dreamed of and more — the most magical place to start our forever. We truly couldn’t recommend Bay Pointe more!!
Bay Pointe Inn Pavilion
Bay Pointe was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the team provided quick and very friendly communication, always responding to our questions and requests promptly. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - they listened to our vision and provided great feedback to help make it a reality. The workers were all incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we had a pleasure working with Ashley, Spencer, Lauren, and Gabriel. Everything was immaculately clean and the entire team went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend Bay Pointe to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue.
Boathouse Villa Wedding
Bay Pointe was an incredible venue for our wedding! Their communication was super fast and friendly throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and attention to detail was absolutely beautiful and well kept. They helped to keep things on schedule and set up everything perfectly, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. We got so many compliments from our guests on how cool and beautiful the venue was - it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding!
The best day!
We are so grateful to Bay Pointe (especially Ashley, Juno, and Lauren) for helping us host a spectacular event. We had our event at the Bay Pointe Pavilion and it was so lovely. We had a gorgeous evening and the weather was perfect. The grounds were beautiful with early June flowers blooming. Bay Pointe also had added more ceremony space flowers which really made it look even better. The food was great and everyone loved our drink menu. Overall, Bay Pointe made everything so easy that day because of how comprehensive the services they offer are. Everyone commented to us that we had the most peaceful, stress-free wedding they had been to in a long time. Even for myself as the bride/wedding planner, I felt like everything was handled and I could actually relax and enjoy the day.
