Not happy
The location and setting are good, but getting answers and return calls was difficult for my daughters wedding. On the day of the reception the lady the runs/owns was there and watiching over and trying to rush our DJ that we were paying not her to get everything rushe...d. she also stood at the open bar that we also PAID for and was dictating what drinks the bartender could make and then told the DJ that he could not drink and he was inclduded in our total number for food and drinks. She never smiled and walked around the whole time. I would never use this place again for any other function or wedding reception. The price kept increasing on every little thing. Lesson learned.
DO NOT USE THIS HALL, WILL RUIN YOUR DAY
This place may be beautiful but don't be fooled. The owners mom, Patty, is disorganized and awful. She will tell you one thing and change/forget it by the next time you speak with her. I had my rehearsal dinner and wedding reception there. At the end of my reception Pat...ty chased me down to bicker about costs (I had already pre-paid for everything). She wanted to charge more for things from the rehearsal dinner the night before even though we had already contracted for everything we used. She made me cry on my wedding day. AWFUL BUSINESS
Disorganized, Unprofessional and Untruthful at Bayside Banquet Hall
This was the most unorganized Banquet Hall I have ever had the misfortune of being involved with. The owner Patty was completely disorganized! She had nothing complete on the day of the wedding that the bride asked for. The bridal party had to set up all of the dished a...nd clean the hall before is was acceptable while Patty went to lunch. She did not honor the contract in any way! The contract listed the wedding until 11:30pm and the groom was told they needed to leave becase the bridal party was there earlier in the morning setting up. This was never mentioned nor was it in the contract. There are actually emails stating that there was no extra charge for coming into decorate or drop of anything, let alone set up since she couldn't be bothered. If you are looking fora an organized professional banquet hall DO NOT USE BAYSIDE BANQUET HALL AND AVOID THE OWNER PATTY AT ALL COSTS. It was a complete mess and the only reason anything came together was because of efforts outside of the hall!
