From the reviews

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but working with Shannon and John at Bay Vista Ballroom made the entire experience not only manageable—but genuinely enjoyable. From the very beginning, their flexibility and commitment to making our day exactly what we envisioned stood out.

I attended an event at Bay Vista Ballroom recently that was planned by Shannon and her team. Not one detail was missed and she truly did think of everything. The venue is stunning and can be transformed for any special occasion.

Getting married at Bay Vista Ballroom

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
