Bleues on the Water

My wife and I got married at Bleues On The Water earlier this month. We visited many different venues over a year ago before making a selection, but ultimately chose Bleues because of how beautiful the room and outside scenery is as well as competitive pricing when compared to other venues. Our original date was in May, but because of COVID-19 we had to postpone and the staff at Bleues was able to accommodate us and allowed us to postpone up to one year at no additional charge. We ended up agreeing on a date just two months later which made us very happy as we didn't want to wait until next year.

The only complaint we have is the communication and organization issues leading up to our wedding. Granted, we understood once the pandemic hit as the restaurant/wedding industry was hit hard and jobs were lost or people were laid off, but we were underwhelmed with the communication from the very beginning even before COVID-19 arrived. We did have a lot of questions, but weddings are expensive and I don't think we asked more than anyone else would. We had to push for answers a bit more than expected. As someone who works in sales and a customer facing role in my career, I found the lack of communication or vague responses to be concerning at times as I was worried it would be a reflection of how the actual wedding day would unfold.

Once our wedding day came around, all of our worries were put to rest once we met our day of coordinator, Ron, during the rehearsal dinner (which we also had at Bleues). Ron was incredibly professional as he met with my wife and I and went over every detail to make sure everything was correct, even if some of the details we agreed upon in advance were not passed along to him by the sales team (hence the communication issue I mentioned earlier). We had a very large wedding party, and Ron helped us do our walkthrough rehearsal and offered suggestions and explained how everything would take place. On our wedding day Ron, Laura and the rest of their team were INCREDIBLE and helped us have a flawless wedding. They were there supporting us with every little detail, constantly bringing us drinks and they worked efficiently to serve our guests their meals. The food was incredible (cocktail hour included) and all of our guests complemented the food as well. Our Videographer made a comment and said that Ron might be the best day of coordinator he has ever worked with for a wedding. The bartenders were amazing as well, mixing up drinks all night long and pouring shots when requested (which some places won't do). The reception was a blast and a lot of our friends and family who like to party and dance couldn't stop telling us how much fun they had the next day (even if they were hungover).

Overall, we are very happy with how our wedding day went down. While many people say it's very stressful day and some things will go wrong we can honestly say everything went flawless thanks to the great staff at Bleues. We strongly recommend considering this venue for your wedding day!
