“My husband and I recently got married at the stunning Lakefront Pavilion at Bay Pointe Inn — and from the very beginning, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do.” We have absolutely no regrets! The venue is breathtaking on its own, with gorgeous waterfront views that created the most peaceful, romantic atmosphere. On top of that, the staff’s hospitality was next-level. They provided so much helpful guidance throughout the planning process and truly made everything feel seamless. Even without a wedding planner, I felt fully supported thanks to their incredible in-house catering and event managers (shoutout to Mariesa and Juno!) and our amazing day-of coordinator, Meagan. She ran the show flawlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — I truly can’t thank her enough. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner onsite in the Fireside Room, which made everything so easy and gave us extra time to enjoy with our family and wedding party. The food was delicious, and another huge perk was staying in the beautiful Bay Pointe cottages. Having a place right at the venue for all of us to stay and celebrate together made the weekend even more special. All night long, our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. It was everything we dreamed of and more — the most magical place to start our forever. We truly couldn’t recommend Bay Pointe more!!”

“I would choose The Lodge at Rush Lakes a million times over! We traveled from Michigan for our wedding, and Logan and Dustin made the entire process seamless. From the start, they were incredibly accommodating, sending us photos, measurements, and virtual tours to help us plan from afar. The property itself is stunning. We stayed for two nights, and the house was beautiful, spotless, and easily fit our entire family and bridal party. Our guests obsessed over the pool, and the tunnels connecting the three buildings are such a cool, unique touch! What really sets this venue apart is the staff. Logan, Dustin, and the team felt like family. They helped us unpack cars, handled setup and teardown, and even drove us around on side-by-sides for our first look and on the pontoon for some downtime. They even had special code names for me and my husband! When the weather looked like it might take a turn, they already had a 'Plan B' ready to go so we didn't have to worry for a second. They are the coolest, most personable people you will ever work with. Thank you for making our weekend so special! -Cody and Miranda Burris (Green Stallion and White Dove)”

“I picked this location because of how beautiful the landscape is. So many different spots on the property to get married on, all beautiful. Different locations cost different price. Overall, relatively cheap compared to other venues. When talking to them, I first started with one wedding coordinator. She left and was informed about the new coordinator. She introduced herself and thought she was awesome. She was very tentative to all the details and was very helpful. I wasn’t informed that she had left and a new coordinator had taken her spot. I didn’t know there was a new coordinator until the day before the wedding. She didn’t take charge of anything. She took a back seat to everything. Told her I had a specific song I wanted to play for walking down the aisle. There wasn’t any sort practice with the song at the rehearsal. She couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to the sound system. She couldn’t figure out how to navigate the song that I had already pulled up on my phone.”
