Project Overview
Bay View at Gallagher Farms is a stunning evolution of what was once Bay View Weddings. As the farm expanded its offerings to include a gorgeous new distillery, they sought to refresh their brand to reflect this broader vision. LaLa Projects worked closely with them to modernize their look and enhance their digital presence, ensuring that their website and branding seamlessly support both their wedding venue and distillery. The result is a sophisticated, multi-functional brand and website that tells the full story of Bay View at Gallagher Farms, inviting guests to enjoy a Traverse City tradition.
Project Details
To support the rebrand, we created a fresh logo and brand identity that embodies the pastoral elegance of Bay View at Gallagher Farms while allowing room for future growth. The new custom WordPress website is designed to be visually rich and highly functional, featuring a seamless user experience with strategic calls to action.
With this comprehensive refresh, Bay View at Gallagher Farms is now poised to welcome guests not only for their unforgettable weddings but also to experience the beauty of their farm and distillery. Visit their new website at Bay View at Gallagher Farms to see the transformation in action.
