Our company used Bay City Events for our holiday party and our guests can't stop talking about the fun they had, from the casino tables, to the photobooth and the Karaoke - their services were fantastic and Pia made the planning process so easy every step of the way. Bay City Events were incredibly professional and you can rely on them to ensure you have a fabulous event! We will definitely reach out again when we are in need for our next event(s). Thanks a ton Pia & Team!

Manny at Bay City Events was incredibly helpful. Even though we ultimately decided to plan our own wedding, Manny was gracious enough to make several recommendations that helped us immensely. What a class act!

Pia and her Team was amazing. My sister and I planned a Vintage Las Vegas 60th birthday party for our Mom. Since the party was Vintage Las Vegas, the MOST important part of the party was the 10 foot tall Welcome to Las Vegas sign and Casino Games that Bay City Events provided. Pia's team was prompt and very professional. The dealers were great and very helpful to all the guests which really made it extra fun. I highly recommend Pia and Bay City Events. They are top notch.
