We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Aqua Blu, and we could not have been happier! Throughout the planning process (and after), they went above and beyond to make sure that my wife and I had the reception that we wanted. Everything was perfect, the food was great, the staff was amazing, and the room was well decorated. My wife has a food allergy, and the chef made her a special dish, which was really good by the way. Also, due to unfortunate weather (we initially planned on having our wedding outside), we had to find an indoor location to have the wedding ceremony. In very short notice, they were able to set up a room for us to have the ceremony in. The room looked great.

Anthony, the manager, was always there for any questions or concerns that we had. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and our guests were happy.

We highly recommend this venue for any of your event needs! We will definitely be returning for dinner many times!

This venue went above and beyond to make our wedding amazing and everything we hoped for plus more! We had a last minute ceremony site change due to weather and they did an amazing job making a ceremony area for us! Everything was beautiful, the staff was amazing, the food was great, and the decor was beautiful. They were great at accommodating my food allergy and brought me so much food that we ended up taking home so much food! The chef made a special dish for me that was so delicious my husband ended up eating some too. The manager Anthony was always there for any questions or concerns we had. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and our guests were happy. We highly recommend this venue for any of your event needs! We will definitely be returning for dinner many times!

When deciding on a wedding venue last Spring, my wife visited 15 different places. All were the same old run of the mill wedding halls. You're just a name and a date to them. They push out 100 cookie cutter receptions each year. Nothing different, nothing special. Cue Aqua Blu.

We always visited Aqua Blu for their great food. When dining one night with her friend, my then fiancé pulled aside the GM Anthony and pitched him a grand wedding. He was super receptive to the idea. Even when we said we wanted to shut the entire restaurant down. No problem. That's the key here, they never said "No." It wasn't in their vocabulary. Cristina's family owns the place. They are some of the best people you'll ever meet. My wife and I had high expectations and they blew our minds and the same for all of our guests. I know this because of the hundreds of texts I've gotten since saying how incredible the place was, how awesome the food was, how incredible their attention to detail was, how helpful Anthony and the rest of the staff were.

That brings me to my next point- the Maitre D' Anthony was one of the most helpful, uplifting, and positive people we've ever met. There was no such thing as a difficulty, never any obstacle, nothing that he and his staff couldn't overcome. He ran that reception like a man on a mission. He was involved in every last detail of the day.

From the colossal shrimp the size of my hand, to the lobster tails that people couldn't put down, to the chalk board sign that must have taken a year to complete, to our name in lights on the incredible electronic highway sign. Aqua Blu absolutely crushed it in every way possible. Anthony, Cristina, and the entire staff took such pride in their work and you could see it in the results. Chef Matteo put out the most incredible food for cocktail hour and then crushed dinner with an amazing surf & turf. These guys are true professionals. If you want a special day put on by a special people- choose AQUA BLU!!!

Owner is a Nazi sympathizer

Was researching this venue and discovered they have a history of promoting racism and fascism in their restaurant. If they can't be trusted with common decency, why would I trust them with thousands of dollars for an event with the most important people in my life? No thank you.

Proud Boys Burger

I was looking for a place to renew my vows, but once I learned of their “proud boys” burger I immediately crossed them off my list. I have family and friends who are LGBTQ, of different religions, varying ethnicities and races, and they would never comfortable here. I would never spend my money here and put my loved ones in such a position. Gross

Proud Boys Burger

If you are going to mess around than find out as this place encourages hate so why should anyone who is a decent person go here?

Racism, and Hate on my Special Day?

No way! Only a brainwashed cult follower would spend money here. These people should be out of business.

Never again

Glad we did not host our wedding at this venue. We came for the presentation but found management to be very arrogant and nasty. There was a particular look we were going for and they just kept going back to stuff that we didn’t want. It was almost as if they were too proud.

Venue is owned/managed by white supremacists.

We were looking forward to booking this venue for a vow renewal celebration, especially since they offered gluten free options for my celiac brother. Then they unfortunately advertised a burger special called the “proud boys burger.” We decided to use a different venue instead. Some of our closest friends and family include people of color, Jewish folks, and LGBTQ folks. We wouldn’t feel comfortable inviting them to a place that has demonstrated a lack of judgment and basis human decency by pandering to a white supremacist group who uses a slogan stating not enough people were killed in the holocaust.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
