A night we will never forget!!

We truly don't have enough words to express how perfect Bay Pointe Woods was for our wedding. It was SO nice to be able to host all of our events for the weekend on site. We had our rehearsal dinner at Bay Pointe Bar and Grille, our wedding at Bay pointe Woods, and our wedding party and family staying at the inn or in the cottages on site. Every details we discussed was executed by Bay Pointe and their team and we truly couldn't have asked for a better day.

Bay Pointe Woods was Amazing!

I just got married at Bay Pointe Woods this past weekend and it was more than I could ever ask for. I could not be happier with our choice. The place was beautiful, staff was professional, and the whole process was very organized. I received many compliments on the food, ceremony space, reception space, everything. Our food was amazing we chose a buffet with our silver package and it was way better than any venue wedding food I had ever had (many people said this). They offered many dates for tastings too which helped us to choose what to put on our menu. The venue came with Gabe our day of coordinator who was phenomenal. The cottages onsite were a blessing too because people could walk to where they were staying after the wedding. I am so happy that I chose this venue it had so many perks for the pricing compared to other venues in Michigan, this was incredible. We are very happy with our choice!!

Bay Pointe is incredible!

From the moment we stepped foot in Bay Pointe Woods, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding! The staff was incredibly kind, straightforward, and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive and there for us every step of the way, ensuring our special day was absolutely beautiful and wonderful. The venue itself is truly stunning - the cozy, intimate and winter themed atmosphere created the most amazing backdrop. All of the staff were incredibly sweet and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect! We cannot recommend Bay Pointe enough - it's hands down the best venue we could have chosen!!

Amazing Wedding Venue

Having our wedding at Bay Pointe was to put it simply: perfection. We booked our wedding over a year in advance and from the first few seconds that we stepped in for our tour of the venue, we were in love. Mariesa, our sales manager, was so personable and so accommodating. The entire process leading up to the wedding was so efficient working with Madison. She was so communicative and so easy to work with. All of our changes, questions, recommendations, literally everything - she had an answer to! We always felt so welcomed by the entire staff. The cottages are new and very comfortable. Our rehearsal dinner at the Bay Pointe Bar and Grill was beautiful and the staff that night were amazing - they made sure we were doing ok, our family was fed and everyone was having a good time. Lauren, our day of coordinator was excellent at her job. She worked so well with all of our vendors and family. We had the BEST time ever. The value is worth the money you spend. A huge thank you to everyone on the Bay Pointe team who helped us along the way and the weekend of.

May 18, 2024 | Berry Wedding

We had the most incredible wedding at Bay Pointe Woods in May 2024, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful natural surroundings, serene atmosphere, and perfectly maintained grounds. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making our special day feel effortless and stress-free.

From the moment we booked, we felt completely supported. The team at Bay Pointe Woods was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfect the setting was.

The reception area was equally impressive, providing the perfect backdrop for a fun and elegant evening. We loved that everything was seamlessly coordinated, and the flow of the day was smooth from start to finish.

If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with top-notch service, Bay Pointe Woods is the place! We are so grateful for the memories we made there and highly recommend it to any couple planning their big day.

Perfect wedding weekend

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter’s wedding at BayPointe Woods. From our first point of contact, Ashley and Juno were so kind and accommodating, allowing us to tour the venue on short notice. Even though BPI hosts multiple weddings each weekend, they have a well-thought out system to make each couple’s wedding truly special. Communication was excellent and they went the extra mile to answer all our nitty gritty questions. Extra shoutout to the front desk staff and the banquet staff as they were friendly and upbeat. Megan even jumped in to help my 95 year old mom at the buffet table. Our daughter and new son-in-law have repeatedly called it the “best day of their lives”! Highly recommend!

Best Day Ever!

Bay Pointe was amazing from the very beginning of the wedding planning process. Juno was our contact person throughout the year and a half of planning and Megan was our day of coordinator. Both of these ladies were professional, attentive, and so kind to work with.

In terms of the wedding day, my guests raved about the food, double bar, and just how cool the venue was. I have seen many pictures from other couples, but there was nothing quite like seeing the space come to life with your own vision.

Having the cottages on the property was one of the main reasons why we booked with Bay Pointe. Since some of the other weddings did not book their cottages and hotel rooms, we were able to accommodate for over 70 people to stay on the property.

I can't wait enough good things about Bay Pointe and my experience during my wedding weekend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
