The staff was incredibly kind, straightforward, and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive and there for us every step of the way, ensuring our special day was absolutely beautiful and wonderful. The venue itself is truly stunning - the cozy, intimate and winter themed atmosphere created the most amazing backdrop. All of the staff were incredibly sweet and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect! We cannot recommend Bay Pointe enough - it's hands down the best venue we could have chosen!!

Do yourself a favor and book your wedding here - you won't regret it!
Amazing Venue and Staff
Having our wedding at Bay Pointe was to put it simply: perfection. We booked our wedding over a year in advance and from the first few seconds that we stepped in for our tour of the venue, we were in love. Mariesa, our sales manager, was so personable and so accommodating. The entire process leading up to the wedding was so efficient working with Madison. She was so communicative and so easy to work with. All of our changes, questions, recommendations, literally everything - she had an answer to! We always felt so welcomed by the entire staff. Our rehearsal dinner at the Bay Pointe Bar and Grill was beautiful and the staff that night were amazing - they made sure we were doing ok, our family was fed and everyone was having a good time. Lauren, our day of coordinator was excellent at her job. She worked so well with all of our vendors and family. We had the BEST time ever. The value is worth the money you spend. A huge thank you to everyone on the Bay Pointe team who helped us along the way and the weekend of.
