We had the most amazing experience at Bay Pointe Woods for our wedding! From start to finish, the entire day was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to celebrate with. The space itself is stunning and was the perfect setting for our wedding. The staff was incredible throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Gabe was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Alex was also wonderful day-of and was so kind, helpful, and attentive. Both of them made us feel so taken care of, and their kindness truly meant so much to us. Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue, the staff, the food, and the drinks! We received so many compliments throughout the night and even after the wedding about how beautiful everything was and how great the food and bar were. We are so grateful we chose Bay Pointe Woods for our wedding. It was truly the perfect place for such a special day, and the entire team helped make it everything we dreamed of. We would highly recommend Bay Pointe Woods to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing staff!

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it. We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up. Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses. The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable. Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.
