Fantastic venue four wedding!

The Bluewater Grill was amazing, Vida, the wedding coordinator was beyond fantastic. She helped us with everything from seating charts to complete day-of execution. Communication was amazing, it was the most perfect, stress-free day and everything was handled. I did not use a wedding planner, I went more casual and laid-back and it couldn’t have gone any better. We had the ceremony and reception in the upstairs private room. Vida helped coordinate with DJ and photographers to ensure everything was in place. The food was amazing, we plan to return every year on our anniversary for dinner!

Perfect location for smaller guest counts!

I just had my wedding there this past weekend and rented the Avalon room. I can't say enough positive things on the event coordinator of the venue, Vida. She was amazing from the first moment I messaged her last year. Responsive, nice and accommodating she truly makes this place special. We had an international wedding, with people flying from Europe and Latin America and everyone loved the food and the view from the room! It is truly a gem for an excellent price for the area. Thanks again for making my day so special!

Good food and great location!

I am so grateful we chose Bluewater Grill for a welcome reception for all our guests the night before the wedding. It was wonderful! The Captain’s Cabin was the perfect room: it is private but spacious and has great views of the marina. Vida, the events manager, is organized and responsive; she made planning very easy which I greatly appreciated given all the other details and planning I was managing for the wedding. The food was great and the serving staff were kind. Thank you Bluewater Grill!

The Bluewater Grill is a gem thanks to Vida

My husband and I just had our wedding reception at The Bluewater Grill for 90 people in their Avalon room.
Vida, the event coordinator, was an absolute delight to work and was so helpful in planning our wedding reception. Vida is knowledgeable, professional, and detailed. She went above and beyond in helping provide her expertise in topics we weren't knowledgeable, like decorations/wedding schedule/food. She was also a big help taking the role of Day-Of coordinator on our wedding day and helped set up our decorations, favors, entrance table.

This venue was a very good value for the money. We needed to meet the minimum Food and Beverage money amount for the room, which we reached with our appetizers and dinner for 90 people.

The views of the Avalon room are beautiful overlooking the boats in the marina. I received many comments from our wedding guests that they enjoyed the appetizers and food and that the venue was beautiful.

Thank you Vida. You and the staff were all pleasant and made the reception and our wedding an amazing experience. We will be recommending The Bluewater Grill to family and friends in the future.

I had my Wedding a couple weeks ago and working with Vida Dye and the Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach was a great experience! Vida Dye is their Events coordinator and she is very detailed and hands on when it came to help plan and organize my Wedding Reception. I had multiple special requests ( custom wine shipments, classic car and photobus, the In-N-Out truck/trailer, vegetarian needs etc) for my Wedding and Vida made it all happen and I didn't have any worries. Connecting with her with our multiple meetings or email correspondences went really smooth. I highly recommend this venue for the location, service, views, and value. My family had an amazing time!

We recently had our wedding reception at The Bluewater Grill upstairs in the Avalon room. We LOVED the views of the ocean and boats, the style of the room, and the staff was excellent! Vida is great and always made us feel at ease. She is a real pro, and led us in creating the BEST party we have ever had! Diego Hellewell from Vox DJ’s was a gem. The food was excellent, and all of our guests said that it was the BEST wedding they had ever attended. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for its charm, value, ease, and professionalism. Cheers to Vida and The Bluewater Grill staff!

I'm so happy we found Bluewater Grill for our wedding. Vida the event coordinator did an outstanding job. I'm so grateful for her and it was great working with her from beginning to end. She and the staff were so kind, helpful and professional. The food looked and taste delicious. We had our ceremony downstairs and reception upstairs with a beautiful sunset. There are also great wedding photo opportunities within walking distance we walked back to the rocks and drove about two minutes to the cove for beach pictures. I recommend this venue not only for the quality but for great customer service.

Bluewater was an absolute fantastic, local location to host our wedding. We have nothing but good memories and experiences when working with the event coordinator, Vida Dye. She was amazing.

First off, the location is fabulous. Overlooking harbor views and a private upstairs venue has the yacht club / boater's feel that my husband and I were looking for. Second, the food was fantastic. That is the plus side of getting married at a restaurant. From the sirloin, swordfish and chicken, the food was spot on, which is rare at most weddings. We received copious compliments. Also - the food prices were competitive and enabled us enough in our budget to host an open bar, which was important to us at the wedding.

I highly recommend Bluewater as a wedding venue. I have nothing but amazing memories and wish the big day wasn't over so we could do it again. It is a hidden gem in a sea of overpriced wedding venues and stuffy south bay locations. I am so happy we found this place.
