Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding experience with Bay Pointe Inn was everything we could have hoped for plus more! Everything was absolutely perfect! It all started with our tour with Sales Manager Mariesa. She showed us the different venues to hold the wedding, and that’s when we fell in love with the Lakefront Pavilion and its beautiful views right on Gun Lake. From there, my fiancée and I worked with the Catering Event Manager Juno to plan the nitty and gritty details. Juno was a constant professional and helped us plan every second of our wedding and food details. The day of our wedding, Courtney took great care of us and ensured that everything went perfectly throughout the day. She even went above and beyond and arranged the flowers on our cake, which turned out beautifully! We couldn't have asked for a better event supervisor for our big day and we are so grateful to her for helping make the day perfect and stress-free. Thank you so much to everyone at Bay Pointe!

Your wedding is one of the most memorable and significant days of your life. Picturesque Kellogg Manor is a wonderful choice to bring beauty, luxury, and a one-of-a kind wedding experience to the couple, and all your guests. From your ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, or bridal shower, we can do it all. Here at the Manor House, we know that planning a wedding is a big undertaking, and we would love to take the stress of the day off your shoulders.

When our initial big wedding plans in another city fell through due to COVID-19, we were scrambling to find a local outdoor venue for an intimate wedding. Nicole responded immediately, and helped us plan our safe, small, intimate, beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. Nicole was so kind, understanding and kept us updated on all state requirements and restrictions as it got closer to our date. And, of course, the venue was absolutely breathtaking. The Kellogg Manor gardens with the backdrop of Gull Lake was the most perfect setting for our dream wedding - we could not have planned for something more magical.

Our family held a rehearsal dinner for 60 people at Porter Kitchen on a beautiful night last fall and had the most wonderful experience. We worked with Laura, who shepherded us through the entire process from beginning to end. She welcomed every idea and desire we had with open arms, allowed us to bring in outside vendors for tables and chairs, linens, glassware and flowers and never once said “no” to any request we had. She introduced us to the chef at our tasting and he was fantastic with a willingness to adjust their entrée presentation and ingredients as long as we used ingredients that were already on their menu. They made adjustments for guests with gluten allergies and chef did all of this with a willingness to make his guests happy, without ego. The meal he and the staff served was spectacular and the table service matched the food. Throughout the evening, the ratio of staff to guests was abundant. Passed appetizers flowed continuously and there was never any wait for drinks. They encouraged us to stream our own Spotify playlists through their sound system to create the atmosphere we were seeking and helped us play videos on their multiple TV’s as well. By the end of the evening, our guests were raving about the event and how warmly they were treated the entire evening by the staff. Regardless of the type of event you are holding, this is a location on the river that is not to be missed and a more importantly, an exceptionally professional and accommodating staff that will help your vison come to life. Porter Kitchen easily exceeded all expectations and has earned our highest recommendation!
