We absolutely loved our wedding venue at both the Chapel and Hotel for Grand Pacific Junction. The two venue coordinators, Jessica and Erinn, were very knowledgeable and helped keep the event running smoothly. They went above and beyond with various scheduling and logistic challenges among our vendors. The space in the hotel itself was beautiful and required very little decorations to bring it to life. There were two restrooms downstairs and one upstairs. For our 100ish person wedding, I was worried bathrooms would be a logistic issue, but it was not! The bar was our favorite part of the venue with its vintage style and wide layout, so bar lines were never a problem. Every one of their recommended vendors exceeded our expectations. If I were to give advice to another couple looking to book Grand Pacific Junction, my only suggestion is keep in mind you likely won't have access earlier than the contracted time period, so adjust accordingly and keep your decorations simple, or better yet hire or appoint someone to do them! Decorations took longer than expected, and it altered the photography timeline which wasn't a big deal, but do keep it in mind. Thanks again to Jessica and Erinn for keeping everything running smoothly in the background and making sure my husband and I were truly hands off and enjoying ourselves the entire evening.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner/welcome party at Bay Arts on 7/29/22. We had around 100 guests and worked with Chatty's (next door to Bay Arts) to plan a menu featuring charcuterie, pizza, desserts and, to top it off, a pig roast. The venue is like a secret garden - the outdoor patio, flowers and fairy lights make for an amazing backdrop. We had music playing throughout the night and the sound was great. Best of all, the people at Bay Arts were SO lovely and easy to work with. We worked with Kelly, who made the whole planning process incredibly easy for us. Although we were planning a party for 100 people, we didn't have a single stressful moment throughout the planning process. The night itself was a dream, and Bay Arts will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. HUGE thank you to Kelly, Matt & team!
