“We are a team of many who all work together and take care of everything a couple could want.” — Rachel Bain, Director of Events
“I think the staff here and our ability to take care of everything for you is what makes us unique. It definitely takes us a step above a lot of venues that are around this area,” Director of Events Rachael Bain said. “That is a huge factor in the decision-making process for the couple. They’re excited and happy that they know they can come to us for all their needs.” The possibilities for that singular day — or a weekend-long wedding getaway — are limitless. They begin, Bain said, with an “award-winning weddingplanning staff and on-site florist,” who are on top of the latest trends in customizable room layouts and floral designs. “We then have an amazing team, led by Kevin Maull, the banquet manager, who will set up whatever you want, wherever you want it!” Want a picturesque outdoor scene as your backdrop? The Clubhouse at Baywood features a waterfront ceremony garden that brings the band, dance floor, stationary bar and cocktail tables outside, with creative hanging centerpieces and tablescapes that add to the ambience.
Do you dream of a beach wedding? No problem: The Clubhouse at Baywood is 20 minutes from the water. For those who fancy a traditional church wedding, “one of our event coordinators will be with the bride the day of the wedding, wherever she chooses to be married— at the church or on the beach — and provide coordination to get the party back to Baywood for the reception,” said Bain. Meanwhile, as destination weddings grow in popularity, The Clubhouse at Baywood has everything needed for the bride and groom wanting more for their guests.“There are houses available to rent on-site,” Bain said, which include golf carts to drive to the course for a round of golf, to the restaurant for dinner or lunch or to the reception itself. Baywood has private dining rooms for the rehearsal dinner, farewell brunch and other meals in-between. “It’s a magical experience,” said one couple of their daughter’s December wedding at Baywood. “We use the word ‘magical’ because it conveys the warmth, kindness and professionalism shown to us by the staff, who seem like family to us now,” the couple wrote. The Clubhouse at Baywood also hosts many other special events, from baby showers and bridal showers to engagement parties and family reunions. Often, events are booked by couples who had their weddings there. “We form meaningful connections with our wedding couples throughout the planning process and beyond their wedding day,” Bain said.
