Our overall experience was stellar! Our NYE wedding was at Bay 7. It started with obtaining Faith Baeza as our event coordinator. Faith handled everything with professionalism, strong communication, and managed every detail from start to finish. As someone with an event-planning background, I could not have asked for a more skilled partner who took everything off my plate and put it on hers. I had nothing to worry about. The venue was beautiful, and the food was outstanding! Our guests are still raving about both. All the employees working were extremely friendly, and the service was stellar.

We could not be more thankful that we had our wedding at the Pavilion at the Angus Barn! The venue is lovely and offers so many options. We would have been happy with either option for an indoor or outdoor ceremony, which eased so much worry. The food was absolutely delicious and we heard so many comments from guests about the meal. (We got the plated duo so we could have plated appetizers; the appetizers were our favorite part and people raved about how delicious the chicken was!) We also found it very easy to communicate dietary restrictions and the venue ensured these needs were met. Our absolute favorite part of our experience with the Angus Barn, though, was our coordinator, Melissa. She was so organized, responsive, flexible, and detail-oriented. She had a knack for assuaging our worries and was so timely in her communication. Melissa helped us plan and implement the perfect day! While there is a cost associated with such an inclusive, well-rounded venue, it was really worth every penny. Thank you to the Pavilion and their team for such a wonderful day!

ts about how it was the "best" wedding many of our guests have ever attended. (Of course, we have to agree!) The Angus Barn staff have considered every detail to ensure a wonderful guest experience — from the timing of the ceremony and reception, to the pacing of courses for dinner, room layouts, weather contingency plans, etc. As a gay couple, the staff also went above and beyond to ensure the space itself was welcoming and inclusive. We were also impressed by how many services are included in-house, like day-of coordinator, table linens, glassware, and basic decor elements that other venues would have charged extra for or even required us to find an additional vendor. Now, an added bonus to having a wedding at the Angus Barn is that the venue then becomes an extra special place for anniversaries and other milestone celebrations. We look forward to visiting several times each year!

kind. She guided us through the process and took care of the details so we could truly enjoy the wedding day. The venue is beautiful. Our wedding took place outside with the lake as the backdrop but it was a relief to know we had a rain plan in place in case it was needed. We had ample seating outside for the wedding and inside for the reception, dinner, and dancing for our 240 guests. The ambience for the evening was perfect. Our guests raved about the delicious appetizers and drinks during cocktail hour as well as the plated dinner of steak, chicken, green beans, au gratin potatoes, and chocolate chess pie. The food was served hot and came out at the perfect pace for the evening. The bartending staff and servers were friendly and professional. If you want a "worry free" and top-notch wedding event, The Pavillion at Angus Barn is highly recommended. It was nice to find a venue that was straight forward with their pricing and didn't nickel and dime you for each glass, silverware, and tablecloth you used. You won't be disappointed with the excellent experience and service you will receive at the Pavillion at Angus Barn.

We had our daughter’s wedding at The Pavilion at the Angus Barn and it was absolutely perfect. After touring multiple venues, this one had everything we were looking for: stunning ...

outdoor spaces (pond, gazebo, butterfly garden), a gorgeous indoor option with starry lights, and so many inclusions—tables, linens, cutlery, charcuterie, and even fun lawn games during cocktail hour. But the real magic? The people. Alli and Faith, our wedding planners, were amazing from start to finish. They made planning easy, fun, and stress-free. On the wedding day, they arrived early to help set up, brought food for the bridal party, and even made last-minute trips to make sure every detail was perfect. They met every request with a smile and a “yes.” One moment stood out: I mentioned I felt dehydrated, and a few minutes later a bartender handed me a glass of Gatorade—he likely went to the store just for me. That’s the level of care they give. Steve and Van lead this team with excellence, and it shows. The staff is professional, joyful, and passionate about what they do. The entire experience felt like family taking care of us. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that delivers beauty, service, and unforgettable memories—this is it. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

A heartfelt thank you to Sarah and all of the staff at The Pavilion for making our wedding day so special!
