    We knew from the moment we got engaged that Bayside Bowl was the perfect venue for us and our wedding day confirmed that. Communications leading up to the big day were clear and helped us stay organized. The day itself flowed smoothly and was so much fun! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how much fun they had. If you're looking for laid back, fun wedding with great food and great craft beer, Bayside Bowl is the perfect venue.

    My husband and I had one goal in mind when we were planning our recent wedding: we wanted everyone to have fun! There is not a better place we could have imagined for our wedding than Bayside Bowl!! From our first FaceTime to the sweet note we just got in the mail two weeks after our wedding, every step of the process was smooth and we couldn't have been in better hands than with Micaela and the entire team at Bayside. With a wedding of a little over 100 people, we got pretty much unanimous feedback that our wedding at Bayside was one of the most fun that anyone had ever attended. In truth, this is largely due to the care and ease with which Micaela managed everything! We had an absolutely stress-free wedding and felt so well-taken care of throughout the event and in the run up. You'll enjoy the tasting event where you get to sample offerings from Bayside's awesome menu before your wedding, and the food was also a hit with the guests! We couldn't have wished for a more perfect wedding weekend than the one we had at Bayside.
