Dream wedding

I cannot express enough how incredible our experience was at The Doubletree Bay City for our wedding! From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The stunning backdrop, beautiful décor, and charming atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable event.

The staff at The Doubletree Bay City went above and beyond to ensure that everything was seamless. From the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding, they were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Azurah went above and beyond for us throughout our entire planning experience.

The ceremony space was absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful it was. The reception area was perfectly set up, and the food was delicious—everyone enjoyed every bite!

We also appreciated the flexibility and support we received throughout the planning process. The team was always available to answer questions and offer advice, which made everything feel so much more manageable.

I highly recommend The Doubletree Bay City to any couple looking for a stunning venue and a supportive team to help bring their wedding dreams to life!

Best Wedding Vendor around!

My daughters wedding was this past weekend and we could not have asked for anything better! Azurah made everything so easy. She answered all our emails on time and on the day of the wedding helped out so much. All of the staff were attentive. We had so many compliments on the food. The outside space was beautiful. We also stayed there and the beds were so comfortable! The entire experience was so wonderful and stress free! I absolutely recommend Doubletree in Bay city for any of your needs !

Brooks Wedding 10/26/24

Wonderful experience!! Azurah was a dream to work with!! So upbeat and positive and very responsive. Immediately responds to emails and gets you answers. We had some different requests and she always got us our answers to make it happen! The venue space was great, we shared the ballroom with another wedding, but it wasn’t a bother at all. Do book the Wenonah suite asap tho for the bridal party to get ready in. We unfortunately did not get it because the other wedding that night had it.
Food was TOP NOTCH, we did plated and everyone raved about the food.
We did have to decorate our own ceremony outside space, but we had enough family to help do that.
Everything was exactly as we hoped for on our wedding! If you be specific with everything you want they will take care of it!! 10/10 recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
