Our wedding looked very different due to COVID changes. Juno and the team at Bay Point where wonderful and flexible with all the changes that had to be made and kept us in the loop all the way around. Even though it was much smaller than we originally planned, I don't think it could have turned out any nicer.

Amazing Venue and Flexibility!
Bay Pointe was fantastic in working with us through our planning process during these ever-changing times. Mariesa and Juno were so friendly and understanding when we were constantly changing our plans from a large wedding of 150 all the way down to the final product of 25. Due to COVID we had to hold our wedding outdoors instead of inside the Woods area. They were so accommodating as we made last-minute changes right up until walking down the aisle. Having our ceremony outside of the Boathouse on the patio was magical in the winter twilight hours with our lighted trees and sparklers. If you are looking for a venue that will be with you and help you through the entire process of planning, this is your place. We also stayed at the Boathouse for the wedding weekend, which made everything so much easier being right on site, and the house is amazing! We can't thank Bay Pointe enough for all of their hard work and attentiveness to our wedding!

Bay Pointe Inn Review
My husband and I had plans to get married at Bay Pointe Inn in April during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. When we cancelled, the staff at Bay Pointe were more than accommodating and understanding. There were no extra fees to change our wedding date and they even helped us move our venue location and change our food package. The staff is always available for a phone call and responds to emails within 24 hours. I have nothing but kind words to say about Bay Pointe Inn and will continue to recommend them in the future!
I've had the pleasure of working with Bay Pointe Inn several times over the last 8 years. The staff is always knowledgeable, friendly, and on point with every aspect of creating a beautiful reception. You can be confident knowing they will take the time and care in creating a flawless evening you will remember forever.
