Love Stories from Our Couples

We hosted our wedding welcome party at Venue Blue and it could not have been more perfect! Laura was incredible to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner leading up to the event, and was there all night to help with anything we needed!! The views are truly spectacular being surrounded by the water and all of the ships!! I love how you can completely customize this space to suit whatever type of event you need! It was also comforting knowing the venue has the sidewalls, so we didn’t need to stress about rain!! Truly can’t recommend this place enough!!

First off, BOOK THIS VENUE. Laura (Venue Manager) is phenomenal! She helped me capture my wedding day perfectly. The venue is a nonprofit, and the location is beautiful! It's even on its own island! Seriously, I 1000% would book this venue again in a heartbeat! Everything was coordinated perfectly, and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you Venue Blue for everything!!
