My husband and I recently had our wedding at the stunning Bay Pointe Woods and we could not have been happier with our choice. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, with lush gardens, beautiful flowers, and a charming pergola where we exchanged our vows. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the planning process, making sure every detail was perfect. The ballroom was elegant and beautifully decorated, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Our guests raved about how wonderful everything was and how smoothly the event ran. Overall, we could not have asked for a better wedding venue. It truly exceeded all of our expectations and we are so grateful for the memories we made there. If you are looking for a magical and unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than Bay Pointe Woods.

Having our wedding at Woldumar was SO, SO special!!! We took the risk of having an August 10 wedding in their barn with no A/C...and we were rewarded with beautiful 70 degree weather. One of their exhaust fans was broken, but they purchased window fans and an industrial fan to keep the air moving. Definitely not an issue for us given our incredible weather, but I was a little nervous in the lead-up. Victoria was SO EASY to work with, I cannot sing her praises enough. From booking until wedding day, she was right there with us. She had fantastic advice on vendors and ceremony details that made things go so smoothly (walking across the bridge was the best idea EVER). The golf cart photo tour was AWESOME, too! My husband and I are very outdoorsy, so it was fun to spend so much time outside on our big day. You can tell the Woldumar staff put a lot of love into their grounds. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! It was truly the perfect venue for us. We didn't even need much decor because the barn and ceremony space are so beautiful on their own. We didn't purchase day-before or day-after barn access which made things a little chaotic. I recommend getting the day-after cleaning, as we were in a mad rush to get things cleaned before midnight on wedding day. The security guard was also very rude during clean up. I'd pay extra to not have to deal with him again... All in all, great venue for the outdoorsy couple! We loved being able to choose all of our own vendors, too. We felt like we had so much creative control, which we wouldn't have gotten at a full-service venue. It's also so comforting to know our money went to a nature center. Much better than a golf course, at least in my opinion!

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it. We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up. Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses. The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable. Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.

Alaska Haus was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the beginning, their communication was timely, calm, and kind, which helped ease the stress of wedding planning. The quality of their work and value was also superb - they were affordable, accommodating, and offered plenty of options to customize our day. The ceremony and reception site was set up exactly as planned, and we didn't need any extra assistance from the staff. The venue itself is stunning, and we received so many compliments from our guests. The upstairs area was great for a dessert bar, photos, and extra seating, and the groom and groomsmen were able to use it to get ready before the ceremony.
