We truly don't have enough words to express how perfect Bay Pointe Woods was for our wedding. It was SO nice to be able to host all of our events for the weekend on site. We had our rehearsal dinner at Bay Pointe Bar and Grille, our wedding at Bay pointe Woods, and our wedding party and family staying at the inn or in the cottages on site. Every details we discussed was executed by Bay Pointe and their team and we truly couldn't have asked for a better day.
