Everything was AMAZING!

We booked Blue Bridge (Bridge Side) for our wedding in May 2023. There aren’t enough words to explain how amazing the entire process of wedding planning was. On our initial tour of the venue 10 months prior, we felt embraced and taken care of. Every single one of the staff members that we encountered were beyond fabulous, attentive, and helpful. Each member made sure our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined.

Our guests LOVED the venue. The grounds were well taken care of and had so many added touches that made it light up and look beautiful. The chapel was perfect to get married in.

Our planning process went incredibly smoothly. They are a well oiled team and thought about every detail! It was easy to book, plan, and coordinate our day because of everyone that helped.

The wedding day was fabulous, perfect, and amazing. The crew were eager to work and make our dreams come true. The DJ had the dance floor going, the bartenders had the drinks flowing, and the managers and planners made sure the day went without a hitch.

The only thing we were sad about was that the night went by way too fast! We wished we had more days to celebrate with the BlueBridge Team!

If I could book every event with them, we would again and again.

The Perfect Northern Michigan Wedding Venue

The BlueBridge processes were very easy and simple to follow. We did not have issues understanding what was the next step.

Having dedicated employees for each position was really nice as well. We felt like we were working with a strong team with the coordinators, owners, florist, tech guy, handyman/landscape guy, and DJ.

Everyone made every detail that we wanted possible. The amount of meetings were not overwhelming. There were some things that we feel we pre-planned ourselves but if we didnt, BlueBridge team would have filled in the gaps. The questionnaires that BlueBridge provided were very useful and easy to use to define the finer details.

Alyssa was our coordinator and it truly felt like we were working with a friend and she kept us calm with everything going on. She helped us create the wedding day schedule, tend to our wants, lots of behind the scene work, and making sure any detail isn't missed.

Something to note…The florist and DJ are integrated into the BlueBridge team. Their DJ has to be used but you can choose another florist if desired.

A great team to work with and a beautiful venue location for a perfect wedding. Having the team made us much more confident everything would go perfect! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous venue and excellent team

BlueBridge ticks off all the boxes for an outstanding wedding venue. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We loved having the chapel as an integrated part of the venue. We had the sacred space of the chapel and were lucky enough on October 29 to have a day of sunshine and 64 degrees. The walls of the chapel were rolled up to reveal the majesty of the fall woods outside and this set the tone for an amazing love filled ceremony. Guests easily moved from that space to a great outdoor area for drinks and appetizers. When the doors of the reception space are opened you see the interior wood trimmed room dressed with white draping and little white lights and chandeliers. It is stunning and elegantly rustic. It was perfect for my daughter's wedding. All our guests commented on how gorgeous it was and thought we had decorated the room like that, but it is all included in the venue. No hauling tons of decorations to achieve this look. I loved this since we came from Grand Rapids and it would have been a lot more work for us to achieve this look. Working with BlueBridge as a destination wedding venue couldn't have been better. Their list of suggested vendors is so helpful. Having an on sight florist and DJ is a dream. And both of them are incredible.
The whole team at BlueBridge is amazing. Polly is a gem and was on top of every detail of the wedding from the moment we decided to book with BlueBridge. We felt so fortunate to have her for our day of coordinator...but she really was our wedding consultant for months. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was stress free and seamless.
Communication is excellent with Chris and Stephanie the owners of the venue. All questions answered within a day. Stephanie did an amazing job with all the flowers and decor. The feeling we had from everyone associated with BlueBridge was that our wedding was of utmost importance to them. We left there feeling that they are our friends.
I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an Up North Michigan experience for their wedding.
