Bayshore Grove Reviews

It was a night I’ll never forget, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way all thanks to the Bayshore staff and of course George. We never had to worry about a thing everything was very organized from the start, food was excellent, view was magical, got so many compliments from my guests that that was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! Thank you!

Linda was perfect and helped us so much with the venue! Definitely would recommend this place for a wedding!!

Bayshore is by far the most beautiful venue I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of weddings. The attention to detail for each event is nothing short of amazing and it places this venue head and shoulders above the rest.

Lisa was absolutely amazing in accommodating our schedule. From the start of the meeting to the second time we came out, it was nothing but professional and very helpful advice. She is outstanding and I can’t wait to have our wedding there!

Amazing venue! Cannot beat the view of the lake, but what was really impressive was Linda and the staff at Bayshore. They made sure everything went smoothly and kept us on our time schedule. Our food was delicious and everyone looked professional. We loved working with Linda and would recommend this venue to everyone. We had our dream wedding because of this venue, Linda and her team.

Absolutely the best place to get married! The staff is incredible and so accommodating! I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Their grounds are amazing and makes for gorgeous pictures, the bridal suite is like a little mini apartment, it has everything you’d need right in one place.

My husband and I both are from upstate NY and now live in Charlotte, NC. We wanted to have our wedding back home to make it easy for our family and old friends to attend. We are beyond thrilled we chose the Bayshore for our venue! Our wedding day was nothing short of amazing - the food, bar, accommodations, service and especially THAT VIEW!! I still can't stop looking at the pictures :o)
Shari and the Bayshore staff were extremely accommodating to everyone's needs, special requests etc. ensuring our day was absolutely PERFECT! Furthermore...all during the planning process leading up to the big day, Shari was available and responsive - making planning an out of state wedding as stress free as it could be, I can't thank her enough for that!!!
I would highly recommend this beautiful venue for anyone looking in the Central NY area. They truly go above and beyond and make the entire wedding experience wonderful. Thank you again Bayshore and Shari for everything!

I cannot even begin to express everything that George, Brooke, and their team were willing to do for us on our special day! Things that you don't even think of: such as blocking guests who arrived late from disrupting your ceremony, to making sure your bridal party gets some of the cocktail hour food, and willing to work with the unpredictable weather conditions of New York! Our day was so completely perfect because of Bayshore. I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that a more beautiful venue does not exist in CNY. Most of our guests had not even heard of Bayshore but boy were they impressed when they saw it! The sweeping views of Lake Ontario, the breathtaking sunsets, and the amazing wrap around deck that our guests could enjoy a cocktail out on while watching us take pictures was worth every penny! The food was great - I ate more bang bang shrimp than I would like to admit. If you want to wow your guests, get incredible photographs, and have everything on the same property...look no further! The shuttle offered by Bayshore will ensure your guests get back to their hotel safely at the end of a wonderful, fun filled night! Thank you Bayshore!

There are things that you appreciate when you are a photographer that are not easily explained. The location and how the sun is positioned in the sky at Bayshore Grove provide beautiful pictures any time of the day. The staff are amazing and I love the bridal suite where the girls get ready. Highly recommend!

I used Bayshore Grove as my venue for my wedding on 9/5/15! This is absolutely one of the most beautiful venues in all of New York State. They are located right on Lake Ontario and have one of the best sunsets around! Shari was our wedding planner and she was very knowledgeable and always available for questions! The venue features both sit down and buffet options as well as open bar packages. We did a sit down dinner with 3 choices. They offer a free tasting where you get to try about 6 different menu items to ensure you pick your favorites! This venue really does not need too much decorating as the venue itself and the landscaping is unbelievable. You can get married right under a pergola by the lake. They also have a great "plan B" for those unexpected rainy days. I loved everything about Bayshore and would recommend it to anyone !

Shari was easy to work with and Bayshore is an amazing setting if you want to have a wedding on the water.

Simply beautiful. If you've never seen Bayshore, it is worth the drive out there. The sunsets are stunning. The grounds were impeccable, the food was amazing. George Broadwell couldn't do enough to ensure our happiness. He was wonderful -- as was his staff.

My wedding is in a little less than 6 months, I have been working with George for about a year and a half now. He has been extremely flexible and pleasant. I pretty much had my entire wedding planned and booked with him, and then for personal reasons had to postpone the wedding another year, he worked with me on everything and was very accommodating to the needs of myself, my fiancé, and my family. He allows you to customize your wedding pretty much so that everyone is satisfied. He acts as your own personal wedding planner, and it's awesome! I have been to several weddings at this venue and it is breathtaking, and the food is outstanding. I'm looking forward to my big day and to continue working with Bayshore! :)

AMAZING VENUE! I am so happy I chose Bayshore I was looking for an affordable venue on the water and this fit right into the budget while offering a gorgeous ceremony site, sunset view, and an amazing staff. We worked primarily with George and he was so willing to help us with anything we needed. I never felt like I was a bother because he always made us feel important and that he wanted to make the day perfect for us. We had the ceremony on site (outdoors) and then a cocktail hour and reception. I loved having everything in one place. The venue is very private and is right on the water with an amazing view all day and especially at night during the sunset. (They do offer a plan b ceremony site in case of rain as well). They have a group food tasting and when I ended up sick they let my family bring back food to sample, but also let me attend another one they put on closer to the wedding. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly. They had a bridal suite for my girls and I with snacks and drinks and George was around throughout the day checking to see if I needed anything and making sure everything was going well. I am so happy with my decision to choose bayshore and received so many compliments from guests about the venue. You can't go wrong choosing them.

Bayshore Grove was a beautiful venue for our wedding, the grounds were wonderfully landscaped and the views and sunset are tough to beat. They were very flexible and accommodating in allowing us to decorate and make the day exactly what we wanted. The communication leading up to the wedding was OK, it sometimes took a few days or up to a week to hear back via email. The week of the wedding, they were much more communicative. The food and service were fantastic although they were definitely on the more expensive side. They have partnerships with the two hotels in town which was convenient, especially as we were planning our wedding from across the country. Overall, we had no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor venue for their wedding.

George was amazing to work with from the get go. Very personable and genuine, and very timely in his responses. The venue itself was perfect! The beautiful scenery outside made it such a perfect evening. We did not use the outdoor ceremony option but they do provide alternative measure in case of rain which was nice. The only thing I did not prefer was the color of the rug on the inside of the venue, it could be updated but didn’t take away from the day. Overall, an amazing experience and highly recommended. My only complaint was the sunset was so beautiful on the water so many of our guests were outside enjoying it and not inside dancing and partying until the sun went down haha!

Bayshore was absolutely beautiful and the guys were great to work with. My one complaint was how many times I had to call iitially before I finally received a phone call back. Communication was better once I actually booked with them. The food was good and the alcohol selection was great.

This is the best location for a wedding I have ever been too - the scene was beautiful and everything was amazing. The service was fantastic - the bridal party was outside on the lawn getting some photos prior to the reception during cocktail hour and waiters and waitresses tailed us constantly bringing us food and drink - whatever we could want. Everything was prompt and they even handled a last minute request with flying colors. The only negative I have is that while planning it is very difficult to get a hold of anyone. Email doesn't work, calls aren't often returned - finally toward the end I discovered they responded very promptly to text message. I wish I would have known that initially it would have made it a lot easier!! Otherwise I loved everything about them and would recommend them to anyone.

Look the venue is absolutely beautiful and our experience there overall was good. They have a lot of things included: free bridal suite, free rooms for the bride and groom separately the night before at their partnered hotels, free honeymoon suite (no decorations though, my husband decorated the room beforehand himself), and the food was delicious if you choose the catering. We chose their chicken cordon bleu and their broccoli alfredo and macaroni and cheese which were hits to our family members who can be picky. They also include a pizza after party which is free pizza and a cash bar (it’s not a private room though). Unfortunately it felt like we were pulling teeth to get any sort of communication. We really appreciated Heidi as she helped facilitate communication. The night before our wedding we checked out the wedding venue and I gave a seating chart and thought I communicated how we wanted tables and chairs set up and it was really messed up when we got there so my husband and I were at the venue fixing the seating chart and the tables and number of chairs until 12:30 am by ourselves the night before our wedding. There was even a time during our wedding we had no idea what was going on we apparently had to cut the cake suddenly as it was melting but we hadn’t heard from anyone at Bayshore Grove. Our DJ clued us in (shoutout to Material Sound, they really made our wedding amazing and filled in the gaps of those communication issues also we booked Dwane on wedding pros and got a 4 hr deal for $900 as it was on sale) we also loved our photographer who took gorgeous photos at Bayshore Grove which was AlterImage in Syracuse, thanks again Rick Needle. Anyway communication needs to be improved but the wedding venue itself was still worth it for us.
