From the reviews

I threw a baby shower for my little sister here and it was amazing! Working with Autumn and Madison was so easy. They accommodated all of my needs and it was perfect. I highly recommended this place for the view and people!

★★★★★ — Autumn, Oct 2023

Best view on the lake! Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Don’t be intimidated by the wedding venue exterior. Just walk around back.

Getting married at The Bay Patio

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.
