Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to Bay Pointe (especially Ashley, Juno, and Lauren) for helping us host a spectacular event. We had our event at the Bay Pointe Pavilion and it was so lovely. We had a gorgeous evening and the weather was perfect. The grounds were beautiful with early June flowers blooming. Bay Pointe also had added more ceremony space flowers which really made it look even better. The food was great and everyone loved our drink menu. Overall, Bay Pointe made everything so easy that day because of how comprehensive the services they offer are. Everyone commented to us that we had the most peaceful, stress-free wedding they had been to in a long time. Even for myself as the bride/wedding planner, I felt like everything was handled and I could actually relax and enjoy the day.

Waltman Lake Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fast, easy, and so helpful. Emma was quick to respond to my questions and acted quickly when my veil fell out seconds before I walked down the aisle. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny - it truly felt magical. They went above and beyond to help coordinate all of our vendors and made our wedding day the dream that we had envisioned. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. 10/10 recommend
