“Every single part of our wedding and our stay at this hotel was incredible. Bay pointe inn staff pays great attention to detail, and even had a bottle of champagne and a sweet treat in our room waiting for us after our wedding. The lake front pavilion was absolutely gorgeous and the staff made the planning process easy and hassle free. Also highly recommend a Thursday wedding as we had the whole place to ourselves!!”
