We had our weekend wedding at Bay Pointe during the trying times of COVID, and we could not be happier with the wonderful event that they helped us organize. Ashley and Jessica were a Godsend, and were constantly ready with help and ideas in times when everything was changing rapidly on the fly. The venue itself, the gourmet menu, our beautiful cottages, and the overall magical yet comforting ambience of Bay Pointe cannot be beat. We had our wedding at the Woods (Sycamore), but were able to get our pictures taken at the lake near the inn, and all over the grounds, which gave us gorgeous photos in multiple diverse locations. We were so touched at how culturally-sensitive everyone at Bay Pointe was, and how invested they were in ensuring we had all the elements of the traditional wedding we were hoping for. We needed Halal food at the wedding for our families, and Bay Pointe accommodated our dietary restrictions without charging us an extra dime. For the price that Bay Pointe offers, you could not ask for more - the most friendly, helpful full-service staff, included beautiful décor, an unbeatable location... I would whole-heartedly recommend Bay Pointe to anyone interested in creating beautiful memories at a stunning venue, with the most professional people in the business.

A beautiful fall wedding
We held our wedding and reception at Bay Pointe Woods in October 2019 and had an amazing experience. We visited several venues before settling on this one and we highly recommend it to anybody looking for the perfect venue.
Facilities- The Bay Pointe facilities were immaculate and beautiful. The outdoor ceremony site was beautifully landscaped, and despite a torrential downpour the night before, was dry and ready for us the next day. Our guests were able to mingle on the outdoor patio during cocktail hour, which has heaters in case of cold weather, and during the evening there was a cozy fire to sit around outside. Our guests also loved the adirondack chairs overlooking the gardens!
Staff- The staff were extremely attentive, kind, and accommodating. They worked with our vendors as they arrived to make sure that things were arranged just the way we wanted. They also made sure to open the reception hall early in the day so that we had a chance to arrange things before vendors arrived. When we asked for a signature drink that was not on the menu (hot cider!), they happily accommodated us.
Privacy- Many of our guests stayed at the on-site cottages, so the entire location was essentially our wedding party, making it very cozy and private. This is one of the reasons why we chose The Woods, and we are so glad that we did!
