As the parents of the bride, we couldn't be more pleased with the decision made by our daughter and son-in-law to begin their life together at Blue Bridge. The venue is beautiful and the people making it all happen are angels sent from heaven!
Polly was amazing on how she kept the newlyweds calm and confident throughout the planning and re-planning (due to the pandemic). Her talent of keeping us informed throughout and making sure everyone was supposed to be where they needed to be on the day-of was absolutely amazing. She totally jumped into her element when we had to make a last-minute location change due to weather by gathering her team and pulling together an indoor wedding within minutes! It was all meant to be!!!
Speaking of meant to be...Stephanie's flower designs were spot on to what we wanted and the floral quality was better than I've ever seen by any floral designer! Even a week out we are still enjoying the bouquets and arrangements!
I would highly recommend having any event/wedding at Blue Bridge not only for the exquisite venue, but for the outstanding team that pulls it all together.
Five stars all around!!!

Your search for a wedding venue is over! Blue Bridge is exceptional!
Our wedding here at Blue Bridge was a dream come true! The staff, decor, amenities and overall ambiance created an exceptional experience for us and our guests! We looked at 4 other venues before we decided to see what Traverse City had to offer. This was the first getaway city my husband and I traveled to when we first started dating so we thought it might be fun to get married in Traverse City! From the moment we walked in for our tour, both my husband and I had an overwhelming feeling that this is where we were meant to get married! Polly welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. We are so grateful to have had Polly as our wedding coordinator as she always was excited to check in, touch base on updates, and just see how we were feeling with the wedding planning process! The greatest piece of advice that Polly reminded us over the almost 2 years of planning our wedding was " The most important piece of your wedding is that you are marrying the love of your life, all the other pieces will come together no matter what happens it will be beautiful" This piece of advice kept us calm and in the moment especially after having to change our plans what seemed like weekly with our wedding happening during the pandemic. One thing stayed consistent and that was all the love and support from the staff at Blue Bridge to help us through these unprecedented times. Chris and Stephanie (the owners) are so involved in helping to plan the big day which sets this venue apart from many others we visited. It is so evident that they are truly passionate about the work that they do! Chris was very helpful with planning the beverages for the bar and was there on site until the end of the night to make sure everything went smoothly. Stephanie has such an eye for detail and design! The venue itself is breathtaking, so minimal extra decor is needed, having a florist on site creates a smooth process for adding in the extra decor for centerpieces and bouquets! Out of the different venues on the property, we chose The Bridge as we loved the indoor/outdoor feel with the modern rustic ambiance. The backgrounds for all our pictures were breathtaking, especially the pictures in the woods with the tall trees! We also loved having a getting ready locations on site along with the Suite for spending the night of the wedding. This venue truly is a one stop shop which made it perfect for us having an out of town wedding! We chose to have our wedding on a Friday to allow for us to have a whole weekend with our guests traveling from out to town and one perk to having a Friday wedding was that we were able to come on Thursday to decorate and have everything ready to go! We can't wait to come back to visit as we have such a special connection now :)
Wonderful "Up North" venue for a large or small group -- perfect for both elegant and casual weddings. The wonderful, attentive staff at Blue Bridge will do everything they can to make your day perfect in every way.
