Just book it!

100/10 recommend! We had our wedding there recently and could not have asked for a more beautiful space or amazing staff. Our coordinator, Alex, is everything you didn’t know you needed!! 100/10 recommend! We had our wedding there recently and could not have asked for a more beautiful space or amazing staff. Our coordinator, Alex, is everything you didn’t know you needed!! She met with us several times leading to up to date, kept amazing communication, thought of everything we didn’t, and overall just made sure our day was absolute perfect.
I cannot recommend this space or Alex enough.

The Best Venue in Corpus Christi, Texas

The BayJewel is absolutely beautiful with all its elegance! From day one, Ms. Renee and Ms. Alex went WAY above and beyond to make sure our dream wedding was exactly what we wanted. They were always there through the entire planning process and help when we had a million and one questions. They had such a great relationship with all of the vendors that we selected and made everyone feel like family. Ms. Renee and Ms. Alex, along with their professional staff, took great care of us. From, touring the venue up until last minute of our wedding night. “Our guests couldn't stop talking about the venue itself and how amazing the entire day was”. We could not have selected a better venue for our special day. Ms. Renee and Ms. Alex exceeded all our expectations. We are just so speechless and forever thankful for really making OUR WEDDING DAY SO SPECIAL!

“We highly recommend The Bay Jewel Event Center”
