“I’ve put off writing this review because I didn’t want to do a disservice to the Treasury. To start, the venue is stunning, it made planning so easy for a bride like me who had no idea where to start for decor. The thing that you can’t see in pictures is how incredible the staff is. They were super communicative throughout the entire process. Any questions I had, they would answer within a day or two of me reaching out. They were proactive when a deadline came up, sending a heads up message a few weeks before so even if I had forgotten, I had time to get everything together. Finally, I did not expect their attentiveness on the actual day of our wedding but Hayley and Josh helped make us feel so special the whole day. The discord on wedding Facebook and TikTok is that the venue coordinator is there for the venue and to not expect them to help out day of except for anything venue related. That was not my experience at all, for example, I got sucked into talking to guests while dinner was being served and yet almost an hour after everyone ate, Josh arranged my husbands and my dinner in the private room, and it was freshly cooked and still hot. My wedding day was one of my best days so far, and so much of that can be attributed to the Treasury.”

“As a planner for over 20 years I have worked with and have seen so many venues around all of Michigan and beyond. Bay Pointe is hands down one of the best establishments to host any event from Weddings, Bridal Showers, Engagement Parties, Proposal Parties, Graduations, Golf Outings, Corporate Events, Birthdays etc. this space can accommodate anything. It has been recently beautifully renovated, beautiful stone floors, sparkling chandeliers and so clean. They provide indoor and outdoor spaces on Middle Strait lake which is amazing especially in Michigan, it's like being in northern Michigan without having to travel or the high costs that come with traveling or hosting an event anywhere else. The event managers are so wonderful and personable always willing to work with you and the food is delicious! If I can give Bay Pointe more stars I would!”

Michigan is renowned for legendary golf experiences, and it doesn’t get better than Wabeek Country Club in the heart of Oakland County designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. As they say in real estate, you can’t make more land. When we think back to the original founders of Wabeek, it’s easy to understand the potential they envisioned when designing this pristine course.
