Yes, we ask that guests dress in cocktail attire. For women, this might be a knee-length or floor-length dress. For men, this might be a suit.
The ceremony will be held outdoors unless there is bad weather, in which case it will be moved to the pavilion. The pavilion will also host our cocktail hour and reception. The pavilion has ceiling mounted heaters and retractable sides to ensure guest comfort if it is raining or chilly. During the cocktail hour and reception, guests may also use the outdoor patio space and fireplace. Since our wedding will be held in late October, we may suggest bringing a light jacket or cover-up just in case (especially the ladies!).
Due to limited space, we are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding unless stated on your invitation. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.
We love your children, but due to space restrictions, we are hosting an adult-only event. It's your night off!
Yes, we will be offering a variety of beer, wine, champagne, and seltzer options in our open bar during the cocktail hour and reception.
Yes, Bay Pointe offers complimentary self parking located within walking distance to the event location.
Yes, we will be providing bus transportation for guests who book at the Holiday Inn Express in Hastings, MI. The bus will bring you to our venue and back to the hotel at the end of the reception.

Please also see the Travel & Accommodations page for more details.
Our ceremony will start at 4:30 PM sharp. Please plan ahead to make sure you have ample time for parking, locating the space, and getting seated before our ceremony starts. If you are using the shuttle service, please be checked into your room and ready to hop on the bus by 3:30 PM.
