Awarded Best of Zola
Bay Pointe was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the team provided quick and very friendly communication, always responding to our questions and requests promptly. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - they listened to our vision and provided great feedback to help make it a reality. The workers were all incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we had a pleasure working with Ashley, Spencer, Lauren, and Gabriel. Everything was immaculately clean and the entire team went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend Bay Pointe to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue.

This was my 3rd wedding that I photographed at Oakwood Resort, but the first one that I had booked myself! Every single staff member was incredible and the location provides so many amazing photo spots. I loved every minute I spent there and I love how the photos turned out!
