    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

    Wow, is the only word that comes to mind from our wedding day. Besides the fact that the “Hill Top” ceremony/reception site and the property itself, was everything we could have wanted and envisioned for our big day, Rose Gallagher was everything and made our whole experience even more memorable. We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and more on how fantastic Rose and the staff were. Weddings are a big deal, and we cannot thank everyone at the Gallagher property for helping making our day perfect! Highly recommend tying the knot here, you won’t regret a single thing.

  • If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

    This venue vcaptures all of the beauty of Northern Michigan- a beautiful view of the bay, fantastic fall colors for our October wedding, and located on an orchard AND vineyard! Rose is so wonderful and easy to work with- she made our special day stress-free and brought our vision to life. If you're looking for the perfect outdoor Michigan venue- look no further.

    My wife had been following Bay View on social media for some time prior to our engagement. So as soon as I popped the question, we knew this would be the place. From first walkthroughs of the property all the way to the big day, the staff at Bay View is on top of it (Rose, in particular). Their dedication to making your day perfect is obvious and the venue itself is breathtaking.
