Their kindness and joyful hearts draw others to them. It was amazing to watch them enjoy each moment - every second - with one another sharing smiles, laughs, and embraces. Their hearts welled with so much excitement and love - such a joy to share in such beauty! It was a true honor to be a small part of such an incredible day celebrating two incredible people!

We are excited to share an update on Gallagher Farms with all of you!

Thank you to Windborne for some drone captures of the Distillery construction to share with all of you!

With the addition of the Distillery to Gallagher Farms, we have decided to align our Bay View Weddings and Bay View Distillery Logos to capture the consistency of the rich history and natural beauty of Bay View at Gallagher Farms in Northern Michigan. Our new Bay View Weddings Logo looks to capture the love and beauty that is grown on the farm as couples share in the history of our family farm as they begin their beautiful futures together. Our Distillery Logo honors our Irish history with Celtic Knots found in the background, honoring the foundation of our commitment, values, and our deep appreciation we have of our agricultural history as we move forward into the future of serving all of you.
