Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms

Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms was the most beautiful venue my husband and I explored in the Traverse City area and from the moment we met, Rose, we knew it was the perfect place for the big day! When you meet Rose, you immediately feel so comfortable and ready to tackle all of the stresses of wedding planning. She is simply the best! She was always so accommodating and attentive to all of our needs. It felt like she was always one step ahead of us, ready to assist and make the big day as stress-free as possible. Her Team was fantastic as well! Throughout the wedding planning process and the wedding day, Rose communicated with us so well and we felt like we were in really good hands the whole time! We can’t recommend the venue or Rose enough. She truly made our big day perfect.

We were ecstatic to have our wedding at this venue! Rose was very easy to work, thoughtful and intentional with all of our needs! Our guests were wowed with the views and the accommodations. They were very well organized and prepared for anything. We couldn't have picked a better venue to work with. They really did make it the best day ever.

Where should I even begin with my review of Bay View? My now husband and I found this venue on a whim, and we were able to visit and meet with Rose on a Sunday. We were immediately blown away by the stunning views of Grand Traverse Bay, the winding drive through the orchard to get to the site, and of course the general beauty of the area. We were even more floored by Rose, though. We were lucky enough to secure the last available date in our dream month (October), and we could not be happier that we did. I am in no way hyperbolic when I say that working with Rose was one of the best experiences of my life - she is thoughtful, clear, organized, and so incredibly available to help, answer questions or put you at ease. Rose was there every step of the way to help me figure out what I needed to get done next, to communicate with our other vendors, to float an opinion past, all of it. She was extraordinarily patient when we were late to our own rehearsal because of a poorly planned route (a classy move), and got things right back on track right away. When the big day finally rolled around, I was shocked to find that I had no nerves about anything to do with the day - I trusted and knew she had everything under perfect control. She got us to the beautiful barn and adorable cabin where we all needed to get ready (I cannot recommend using their on-site locations to get ready for your big day enough), she kept us on schedule and on time, and was even a hero with our photographer when my Maid of Honor had a scary medical emergency an hour before the ceremony. I am certain that our day would have been special no matter where we got married because we love each other, but now we get to have this incredible memory of an amazing day that is made all the more vibrant by our choice to do it all at Bay View with Rose. I was honestly sad to have to write this review because it meant that it was really over. Rose, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us to make our day so magical, and we are so grateful that we got to spend the day somewhere so insanely beautiful. We will be returning regularly when the distillery opens so we can say hello and revisit so many amazing memories.
