Loved having my wedding at Bay 7

Wow. I got married here this year and I cannot even say how amazing everything was. The venue was perfect and beautiful. The food was incredible. So much was included already, the whole process was so painless. Faith, our wedding coordinator, was so easy to work with and great at getting back to us. Would recommend for any bride!

Beautiful space, amazing food, outstanding people

My husband and I were sure of this wedding venue eventually being ours even before we were engaged...no joke. We walked by and saw another wedding one night and in that moment knew this was the place. The venue and area surrounding it is beautiful and unique. The space inside is so cool just as it is that you don't have to waste a ton on decorations to dress it up. The 2 floors, industrial components, market lights, etc. give the it such a warm, intimate and special feel. The packages are easy to chose from and the staff is AMAZING to work with. They are so professional and responsive. The food from Angus Barn...best I've ever had at a wedding. This is not your typical reception food, people could not stop talking about it after our day. We knew right away this was the place and we were blown away by the service.

Beautiful Venue, Perfect Vibe, Outstanding Service

Bay 7 was the perfect wedding venue for us! We had both the ceremony and the reception there and we couldn't have made a better choice. After a few hiccups getting an initial proposal, Kelly stepped in and took care of us. She got everything set up and worked us for the first few months, then Sarah took over when she returned from maternity leave. We were a bit nervous about how the handoff would go, but it was seamless. They were both so helpful making vendor suggestions and answering all our questions. Bay 7 is such a well-known, well-respected venue. It made hiring all our outside vendors so easy. On the day, everything went off without a hitch. They were so organized and all the staff was out of this world. All the servers kept checking in and making sure not only we as the bride and groom had everything but taking care of every single one of our guests. The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the people were wonderful to work with. What more can you ask for?
