We had the most incredible wedding at Bay Pointe Woods in May 2024, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful natural surroundings, serene atmosphere, and perfectly maintained grounds. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making our special day feel effortless and stress-free. From the moment we booked, we felt completely supported. The team at Bay Pointe Woods was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfect the setting was. The reception area was equally impressive, providing the perfect backdrop for a fun and elegant evening. We loved that everything was seamlessly coordinated, and the flow of the day was smooth from start to finish.

I booked our Holiday office staff party at Battle GR for a nice mix up to the usual 'everyone get dressed up to eat a huge dinner where you can only socialize with who youre sitting next to'. When we arrived for our get together, our food was served hot and ready to fill our bellies before axe throwing and laser tag. The axe throwing was great, and I was really impressed at just how large this whole facility was. The laser tag was also great, but could use a few upgrades regarding the equipment used for it, and the games that are offered with larger groups. The facility was clean and staff was great. Great space to get your people out moving in a way they usually dont! Love to bring out some friendly competition.
