"BAYarts was a lovely venue for our wedding. BAYarts provided the perfect backdrop for a beautiful, laid back wedding with a backyard feel. The staff graciously accommodated our requests. We got many compliments from guests about how magical the venue looked, particularly at night. We would recommend BAYarts to any couple looking for a outdoor venue."

"We chose BAYarts for our September 2023 wedding ceremony and reception because of the charming, historic and beautiful outdoor setting. The team at BAYarts and the talented folks at Spice Catering took care of everything so we could enjoy our family and friends, all while being surrounded by the gorgeous views from the Fuller House. We could not have asked for a more intimate and memorable wedding day filled with love."

"Our wedding venue search was a short one. We went to BAYarts first and immediately knew it was the perfect space for us. Some aspects that we especially loved were the proximity to the lake and surrounding park, the charming Fuller House porch, and the spacious lawn with the tent option. It made for an ideal atmosphere and provided lots of areas for our friends and family to reconnect and share stories without feeling cramped. The BAYarts team was fantastic to work with. They guided us through the little details in terms of planning and made sure everything went perfectly on the day of. They truly went above and beyond so that we could enjoy our day without any worries. "

"I am still being told 7 months after the wedding that it was THE BEST wedding guests had ever been to."
