Beautiful venue, affordable, and helpful staff. Can use all your own vendors.

We would definitely recommend.

I’m writing this one year after my wedding and it’s definitely overdue. Of all the rooms owned by Marina Village, the Bayview is the best. We checked all the rooms on the property and felt this one worked best for our theme.
We went with a tropical and country theme.
Does that work? Yes, yes it does.

The room accommodates up to 250 guests and includes conference chairs and tables. Our guest count was only 60 plus the vendors.
We did not use the loft for anything other than the staging area for the wedding party. After our ceremony on the North lawn, also booked through Marina Village, we entered from the back of the Bayview room and immediately went upstairs. The allowed the wedding party a little break, a little food and beverage, and a little conversation, before taking the main stairs down to the first floor as our grand entrance.
The loft has restrooms so you can change or freshen up before jumping back into the festivities.
We had a few guests using walkers or canes and they always appreciate the ample space. A larger room works. Plenty of space for the welcome table, dessert table, dj setup, and photobooth. We had photo array photobooth which needed more space than the traditional due to the multiple camera setup. We used the wall of the staircase as the backdrop and added a balloon arch. I added an image of my first draft floor plan so you can get an idea.
Marina Village also offers two reception sites, South Lawn and North Lawn.
We chose the North lawn though it was a farther trek to the reception.
We felt the North lawn had the better backdrop of the marina and less noise from the traffic. Downside is the dumpster location to the side. There is a space housing the dumpster with a door but the door always seems to be open.
Just make sure to have guest chairs positioned at an angle so that it’s out of their peripheral view. I’m sure the set up crew already knows but make sure your coordinator keeps an eye out for that!

We used Ranch Events for catering, bartender, and floral. All the additional tables, barrels, furniture was rented though Ranch Events. We also decided to use white chairs and rented those through them as well. I believe Marina Village also offered rentals ( tables only, I think) but I believe the selection was limited.
Ranch Events is also located on the property but separate from Marina Village. It made things easy. A one stop shop. I recommend working with both to save time, energy, and.. money!
