Abby and Jake’s garden party wedding at Bay View Weddings at Gallagher Farms in Traverse City, Michigan, was nothing short of magical. Set atop a breathtaking hill overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, their special day was filled with love, laughter, and stunning natural beauty.

From the moment guests arrived, they were welcomed into a dreamy setting—a 400-acre cherry farm bursting with rolling vineyards, charming orchards, and panoramic lake views. The ceremony took place at the Hill Top venue, where Abby and Jake exchanged vows overlooking acres and acres of breathtaking views.

After saying "I do," everyone made their way to a beautifully decorated tented reception space, where the garden party theme truly came to life. Lush greenery and romantic florals,  created an inviting, whimsical atmosphere. The tables were elegantly set with fresh blooms, candlelit centerpieces, and personalized touches that reflected the couple’s style.

The celebration continued well into the evening with an incredible dinner, lively dancing, and heartfelt toasts. 

As the night came to a close, the newlyweds stole one last dance beneath the stars, surrounded by the love and laughter of their favorite people. Their wedding at Bay View wasn’t just a beautiful event—it was an unforgettable experience, filled with all the magic that makes a love story truly special.
