An Absolutely Perfect Wedding Experience

The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club was everything we hoped for—and so much more—for our daughter’s wedding. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel like we were in the most capable hands. The venue itself is stunning, but it’s the people behind it who elevate the experience from beautiful to unforgettable.

Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and an effortless calm that made the day truly stress-free. The flow of the evening was seamless, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere magical from start to finish. Our guests raved—not just about the picturesque setting, but about how beautifully everything came together.

A very special thank-you to Amy, whose guidance, attentiveness, and warm presence made all the difference. She anticipated every need, communicated clearly throughout the process, and ensured that our daughter and son-in-law had the wedding of their dreams.

We couldn’t have chosen a better venue. If you’re considering the Bay Club for your event, look no further. They gave our family a day we will cherish forever.

Amazing Venue With An Incredible Team!

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue or a more exceptional team. From our very first tour to the last song of the night, Amy went above and beyond—organizing every detail, offering smart suggestions, and keeping us calm, comfortable, and excited throughout the process. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had and handled the timeline with total professionalism and grace. She is truly exceptional at what she does and somehow she makes it look so easy!
A special shoutout to Delaney, whose warm energy and quick problem-solving were such a gift on the wedding day. She was always one step ahead—checking in with us, coordinating vendors, and making sure our guests were well cared for.
The venue staff were also incredible—friendly, attentive, and so much fun to work with! They made the entire day feel effortless and joyful, and it was clear how much pride they take in what they do.
The venue itself is beautiful, but it’s the people who make it truly special.

We received so many compliments from guests about how seamless and fun the evening felt, and that’s entirely thanks to Amy, Delaney, and the entire team’s dedication and teamwork. If you’re searching for a venue that pairs stunning spaces with an outstanding, detail-driven staff, look no further. We’re endlessly grateful for the memories they helped us create and would recommend this venue—and this team—without hesitation.

2/1/2025 Wedding

We had our wedding here on 2/1/2025 and it was everything we could’ve asked for! The venue coordinator and wedding day of coordinator, Amy, made everything so seamless and perfect for us. She was a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding dreams a reality. The only things we outsourced were a photographer, DJ and florist. Everything else was provided by the venue which made the planning process a lot easier for us. The venue has incredible food, drinks, sunset views and a European style feel perfect for pictures. Amy and everyone else at the bay club created the most amazing wedding day

Our fairytale wedding

Our wedding at The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club was nothing short of a dream come true! From the stunning views to the breathtaking sunset, every detail contributed to an unforgettable day. We cannot say enough about the incredible support we received from our day-of coordinator, Amy, as well.

From the very first meeting, Amy was a guiding light throughout the entire planning process. Her expertise and attention to detail ensured that everything was perfectly organized, and her dedication truly went above and beyond. We constantly felt reassured knowing she was behind the scenes managing every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without a single worry.

A huge thank you also goes to Delaney, Amy’s assistant, and the entire staff at Westshore Yacht Club. Their professionalism and friendliness made us and our guests feel welcomed and cared for from start to finish. The service was impeccable, and every request was met with enthusiasm and efficiency.

The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. We felt like we were in paradise, and the sunset was the icing on the cake!

We are beyond grateful to everyone at The Bay Club and especially to Amy and Delaney for making our dream wedding a reality. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an exceptional team, we highly recommend The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club! Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Outstanding waterfront wedding venue

Amy Winkleman, who is the event coordinator for the Westshore yacht club did an absolutely outstanding job throughout the entire process of planning for the wedding. Her entire team was so incredibly attentive and careful, very polite and professional. We brought in a lot of outside vendors, one of which provided all of the table settings, linens, glassware, chargers, silverware, etc., as well as the chairs. Amy handled the items as if they belonged to the yacht club. We also had a brunch there the following day and that was excellent as well. The food was delicious and beautifully plated. I highly recommend The Bay Club at The Westshore Yacht Club.

WOW!!!! 10/10

I am completely blown away by my entire experience with The Bay Club and Amy. They absolutely went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations for my wedding day - being in the wedding industry myself I had high expectations so this says a lot. Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with, and had all of my details down to a T and left me with nothing to worry about the day of. We did experience a little rain during cocktail hour, but I never knew it was happening because of how well and diligently the staff worked to accomodate everyone. We ended up having the most magical experience - having our dinner and reception outside over looking the water. It was breathtakingly beautiful - and the water gave off the perfect breeze making it extremely comfortable. The banquet staff was INCREDIBLE and so attentive and kind. *And let me say a banquet staff can make or break a wedding!!!!* Amy and her entire team at the club will ensure you are so well taken care of - they made my experience as a bride and on the day of so wonderful and I am so thankful for that. Amy - thank you for everything you did and for going above and beyond to take care of us. I truly felt you cared about our day and your hard work and love for what you do does not go unnoticed. XO

P.S the property and facilities are so well maintained and extremely clean!! Over all 10/10 hidden gem!

The Bay Club has it all!

This venue is perfect. You have your beautiful grounds, water views, and great location. We had a pool deck ceremony and our reception was in the bistro room. The room is already nice and does not need any additional decorating. Food was delicious. Banquet staff is great! Amy the event coordinator knows what she is doing and is such an asset. This venue is very reasonable price wise and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to everyone at the Bay Club!

The space is beautiful and Amy is the best!

We felt SO lucky to find the Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club for our wedding venue. Our day was absolutely everything we could have imagined and more. Amy (the event manager/day-of coordinator) worked with us tirelessly from day 1 to accommodate us, from generating specific menu options to figuring out unique ways to use the space for the elements of our Jewish wedding. We were able to hold our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception outdoors and were fortunate to have beautiful weather and a lovely sunset over the bay. The only food allowed in from outside was our cake, but that was fine because everything from their kitchen was delicious. Amy and the rest of the staff were so helpful and flexible throughout this whole process. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Couldn’t have chosen a better venue!

The Westshore Yacht Club is the perfect venue! We had both our ceremony and reception on their pool deck. The Yacht Club is absolutely beautiful and the sunset was stunning. The Event Coordinator Amy is wonderful. She is extremely organized and was on top of everything throughout the entire experience. She is so hardworking and on the wedding day we didn’t even have to think about anything but having a great time as we knew Amy had everything covered. We were originally set to get married in April of 2020 and when we decided to postpone until the following year due to the pandemic Amy was so understanding and flexible - it made the difficult decision a lot less stressful. Amy is such an asset to the Westshore Yacht Club. I would recommend this venue for your event time and time again! ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
