Best wedding venue in Wilmington!

We got married at Bluewater in the Sunset room with 24 guests. Planning a wedding in 2020 came with unique challenges, however our wedding was everything we dreamed it to be and more thanks to Hayley and the rest of the staff at Bluewater. Hayley did an amazing job coordinating the details despite all of the hurdles brought on by the pandemic. The managers on duty that day, KJ and Scott, were so accommodating and made sure we were able to have everything just the way we wanted it all day/night. The food was incredible. Everyone was talking about the crab dip and shrimp & grits especially. Our servers, Lou and Carson, were perfect! They were attentive, so genuinely nice, and you could see their smiles from behind their masks which meant a lot to us and our guests. We were having so much fun that we just couldn’t leave, so the servers found an extension cord so we could move our speaker to the balcony and continue the celebration. The small things like that made the night perfect and we are so thankful. If anyone is looking for a space for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception, Bluewater is definitely the place to go. I thought the spectacular view is what I would be raving about after our wedding, but the staff were equally spectacular!

Great Wedding Brunch Spot!

We had a post wedding brunch/meet up here. The staff was very helpful assisting us with bar space outside on the deck so our out of town guests could experience the warm fall weather and the waterfront views. The staff were very nice and patient considering it was a large group.
The food was incredible and the drinks were great!
Thanks again!
