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.

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.

April 2022 Wedding at Blue Ocean

We had our reception at Blue Ocean in April, and the experience was perfect across the board. Kristin was our coordinator, and she was terrific to work with. She helped facilitate meetings and discussions as we were not local to the area. The food, the service, the people, were all outstanding. And the Grandview Hall has to be among the most beautiful rooms in the US. Highly recommended!
