The most magical venue

I can’t rave enough about how perfect this venue was for our special day. The food was OUTSTANDING, the layout, the space, the views, the staff, EVERYTHING was so perfect. It was exactly how I pictured it. Amanda was so sweet and easy to work with. She was so flexible with last minute changes, and helped me stay calm cool and collected with my bridal anxiety was at an all time high. I’m so in love with blue ocean, everyone kept saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to. 😍 thank you thank you!!!! Also- shout out to the blue ocean team for helping me with dress malfunctions.

Gorgeous location, professional team

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location for our September wedding. We wanted a beach ceremony with a back up in case the weather wasn't great. The Blue Ocean Event Center was perfect! We chose the Blue Ocean Music Hall for our reception for the number of guests we had and the fact we were getting a band. It was PERFECT! It felt like we were at a concert and we had a blast! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I'm so glad we used the Blue Ocean Event Center.

Exceptional!

The team at Blue Ocean is exceptional!
Amanda was our wedding coordinator and captured every little detail perfectly. She spent the time to make sure she understood and we understood how the day would unfold. She’s an incredible listener, problem solver, organizer and one of the best communicators I have met. She was able to relay everything to the team. That team listened and executed every last detail flawlessly! Not only was everything perfect, they served our guests with a smile and were overly accommodating. There were pieces I didn’t want bother the team with like moving the flowers from the ceremony down to the reception, but they read my mind and there they were. Absolutely first class in every way.
