BlueBridge

We cannot rave enough about our experience at the BlueBridge. Our wedding night was better than we ever could have imagined thanks to the amazing staff who are patient, organized, kind, accommodating and detail oriented. Polly was our day-of-coordinator and she was AMAZING! Guests came up to us all night to tell us how much they loved this venue. We would whole-heartedly recommend the BlueBridge to any couple.

We had the most amazing experience with Blue Bridge! The entire team was so great to work with and truly felt like they wanted you to have to best day ever.
Stephanie, the florist, was so nice and great at what she does. It made working with her such a great experience. She created arrangements that 100% matched my vision.
Maxwell the beverage manager was extremely flexible and generous when we were creating the beverage package together. You felt that he was on your side when you were going through the process of picking a beverage package for your day. He was even on sight during our reception making sure we were taken care of and got exactly what we wanted. My husband said that he enjoyed talking to him at the reception.
DJ Ray was amazing. Excellent at feeling the crowd and, pre-reception, made sure to get every detail down on paper so that we could just enjoy. Super appreciative guy and a joy to talk to.
And last but certainly not least Alyssa our coordinator was outstanding! She took away any stress that could have fallen on me and effortlessly moved around the timeline when we were hit with a bit of rain. We had the ceremony offsite and she was so much help there as well! Even went above and beyond to handle some last minute issues that came up during rehearsal.
Although the staff is what actually makes having a wedding here worth it. The actual venue is gorgeous. The drive in feels like it’s almost a secret, the indoor/outdoor space is the perfect mix between elegant and rustic. We didn’t have our ceremony here but the chapel is beautiful. Plenty of parking. We got so many compliments on the venue and I couldn’t recommend having a wedding here enough!

Our wedding venue went above and beyond in every way possible. From the beautiful florals and table layout to the DJ, the owners, and every single person involved, everyone was truly amazing.

What meant the most to us was how personal they made everything feel. They didn’t just give us a wedding day—they made it feel like our wedding day, built around us, our story, and our family.

My mom passed away just a few days before our wedding, and our venue was so incredibly understanding and compassionate. They worked with us to create little moments throughout the day to honor and remember my mom, and those moments meant more to us than I could ever put into words.

During a time that was filled with so many emotions, they gave us a beautiful space to celebrate our love while still making room for the person we were missing most. We will forever be grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and love they put into our wedding.

I truly cannot recommend this venue and their entire team enough. They made one of the most emotional days of our lives absolutely unforgettable.

I can’t say enough about Amy and the whole crew at Blue Bridge! Our daughter’s day was perfect because of all the dedication and hard work they put into it. Every detail was spot on! I got to enjoy the day knowing they had everything under control. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just wish the day didn’t go by so fast. It was perfect 💞

Having BlueBridge host our wedding was the best decision my husband and I made. Growing up in Michigan, I spent summers visiting Traverse City, so having my wedding in the summer in Northern Michigan was a dream come true.

The professionalism and efficiency that the BlueBridge staff runs their venue made the entire wedding planning experience extremely stress free and seamless. Not only that, but each member we interacted with on the staff was so kind and caring in a way that made it clear they love planning weddings and doing whatever they can to make the couple's wedding dreams come true. 
 
Communication leading up to the event was unrivaled, and I never felt like we were left in the dark about anything. An absolutely special shout-out needs to be had to Mare. Going through the timeline a few days before made the whole process that much easier in order to iron out any unexpected surprises leading up to the big day. She was communicative and always on hand for anything we needed on Saturday, as well. Thank you to Megan for assisting with any questions we had the morning of the wedding, too! 
 
Ryan was an exceptional DJ who played all the hits and turned it into the party I always envisioned.

Additionally, we had so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and everyone said how much fun they had, which was always my and my husband’s goal when planning this wedding. 
 
I wish I knew everyone's name to be able to shout them out directly, and I still don't feel this review conveys truly how much I appreciate all the hard work the entire staff at BlueBridge put into making this wedding a success. If you’re looking to plan a wedding in Northern Michigan, BlueBridge is the only place I recommend.

We were married at BlueBridge on 7.11.26 and had a wonderful experience! We wanted a nature-inspired wedding with an “up North” feel and the venue has that plus all of the comforts and extras that make your event still feel elevated. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and so many of our family members really enjoyed being able to hang out on the patio under the string lights or by the firepit during our wedding. We got tons of compliments from family and friends about how beautiful the space was, their interactions with the staff, and how seamlessly the event ran.

Even before we started really working with BlueBridge, multiple other vendors that we talked to said how well the team there would take care of us, and they were right. We felt so supported throughout the entire process! Polly and Stephanie answered so many logistical and decor related questions for us and were so helpful and kind. Even when we were many months out from our wedding and they were in the midst of a busy fall wedding season, they still took time to answer some of our very specific questions. Even though there was another wedding happening on the premises the very same night as ours, we barely noticed it and Polly and the rest of the team made us feel that we were always their top priority.

We worked with Stephanie on the florals and decor and the flower designs she did were lovely and just what we wanted. She was also very flexible about us bringing in some of our own decorations and found creative ways to make some of our ideas work (like hanging disco balls over the dancefloor and hanging a ribbon garland over the chapel).

Our coordinator was Polly and she was absolutely fantastic. It is clear that she has many years of experience and still enjoys her job. She took a lot off my plate in the final weeks leading up to the wedding by confirming details with all of the vendors, made a fantastic timeline for our day, and made the rehearsal fun! Despite being a very detail-oriented person myself, I was able to let go and just be in the moment during my wedding because I completely trusted her to execute everything we had discussed. And our DJ Ryan was very easy to talk to, checked in with us multiple times, and really understood our tastes. The dance floor was hopping all night!

We said to each other many times during the planning process how glad we were we chose BlueBridge because they truly found a way to make all of our requests work and handled everything with professionalism. We highly recommend!

We had a perfect wedding at BlueBridge! When touring different venues, it was clear that not only was the property/facilities beautiful, the staff would go FAR above and beyond. And they absolutely delivered on that.

Polly was perfect in helping guide us from day 1 until cleanup on the wedding night, covering even the smallest of details that we wouldn’t have ever thought of.

We are weeks removed and still haven’t stopped getting comments how incredible the wedding, venue, Polly, the DJ, and everyone else involved were. 10/10, the perfect night & venue for us.

We had the best experience possible getting married at BlueBridge. Polly - our coordinator - made the experience seamless for me. From florals to the DJ (Scott), to the bartenders (shoutout Maxwell), everything was perfect. I could not recommend this venue enough!

My now wife and I got married at "Blue" back in August. We had about 125 guests, and the 150-person venue was perfectly adequate for that guest count. We didn't feel cramped, but we also didn't feel like we were leaving a lot of unused space. From the time of our first contact to the reception itself, BlueBridge met and exceeded our expectations. Chris, Stephanie, and the entire BB team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They were flexible and patient with us when we had questions. We rented long tables instead of using the provided round tables, and Stephanie was so quick to help us figure out how to make our vision work in their space. We had a lot of DIY elements that we brought to the venue the morning of the reception, and the staff did a terrific job of decorating the place quickly and according to my wife's vision.

The outdoor spaces surrounding the venue itself are serene and picturesque. There are several spaces for guests to gather and chat. Inside, our DJ Marshall had the dance floor vibing for the entire evening. Really, everything was perfect.

We would highly recommend BlueBridge to anyone. Thank you to Chris, Stephanie, and the entire BlueBridge team!

BlueBridge went above and beyond on our wedding day. From Stephanie and the floral team, to Chris making sure the bar was perfect and the venue was clean and well maintained, and especially to Polly making sure our day ran flawlessly. She and her team made our day so special and made sure to be on hand at all times to make sure every detail perfect and any request we had was immediately tended to.

They helped us all throughout the wedding planning process and were always quick to respond. I loved having our florals done through Stephanie at the venue, she did an amazing job and made my pinterest board come to life. As the owner of the venue as well she knew how to best utilize the venue with floral placements.

We also loved having the DJ be part of the venue, it took off the extra task of finding our own. & DJ Ryan was AMAZING!! He made sure the vibe stayed high all night and played all of our favorite music while also mixing in other requests from our guests.

I cannot recommend BlueBridge enough!!
