The perfect venue

We knew from the moment we got engaged that Bayside Bowl was the perfect venue for us and our wedding day confirmed that. Communications leading up to the big day were clear and helped us stay organized. The day itself flowed smoothly and was so much fun! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how much fun they had. If you're looking for laid back, fun wedding with great food and great craft beer, Bayside Bowl is the perfect venue.

Bayside bowl hosted our dinner rehearsal and it was insanely fun! The food was great, the service was awesome, and Dawn made sure we were well taken care of. We had so much fun we didn't even realize the time and shut the place down with them. We LOVED it and our guests loved it. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Wow. I couldn’t have even imagined how perfect this venue would be for us. We held our reception in the original section of Bayside. Perfect space for a live band, dancing, and bowling! We had about 160 people and definitely had enough room for more. It was such an amazing, fun night. My favorite compliment from a guest ....”I was having a tough time picturing what a reception would be like at a bowling alley. This turned out incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.” The food was so perfect (get the late night pizza!) for a more casual approach....and it was so nice to just have everything provided by the venue (hello simple planning). If you book this section of Bayside you’ll definitely be looking at more of a “party” type wedding reception as there is no space for a sit down dinner (exactly how we wanted it and I felt guests really got to interact more with each other and us).

Okay. The real reason I’m writing this review (I have only written one other one in my life). Micaela. She’s the Event Coordinator and she’s amazing. She goes above and beyond. She gives honest feedback when you ask for it (in the most polite and helpful way ever). She really helped us refine our food order to make sure we didn’t order wayyyy too much. She let us know what works well in the space. She made sure to set up a meeting to run through each hour of the event and create a timeline for us. She’s funny. She didn’t forget a thing (I would’ve forgotten half the stuff she reminded us about, ha). She doesn’t just charge your credit card and run away. She cares.

I’d give five stars over and over.

Thank you Micaela and Bayside!!!!!
