LBP was the perfect location for a third coast wedding of our dreams! We had most of our guests stay on property which allowed us to have a whole weekend of fun. The hosts are incredibly responsive, even when I would call evenings or weekends. Absolutely beautiful spot.

My husband and I had our wedding at Bayview in July and could not have been happier! We searched just about every venue in Northern Michigan and Bayview was unlike any other - we truly believe that this will be the most popular venue in Northern Michigan in a few years. We had so many guests say it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been at and some compared it to the Catalina Wine Mixer (IYKYK). Rose was a pleasure to work with and you could feel her passion come through. She just wanted us to have the best day possible and did everything she could to make that happen!! Rose keeps special plants that attract butterflies around the venue site and during our ceremony we had 5 flying around - it was so special. Words cannot even describe the beauty of this place. There was a special ‘shack’ (updated, of course) next to a pond where my husband and his groomsmen got ready and fished before the ceremony! There is a glammed out barn that the bridesmaids hung out in before the ceremony. They even have a special area in the cherry groves with string lights that is perfect for a first look. Our wedding was better than our wildest dreams. Thank you Rose and the entire Bayview team for making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives! 10000/10
