I recently had the pleasure of hosting a Mexico-themed wedding shower for my brother and his fiancée at the Waypoint Event Center in New Bedford, MA. They will be tying the knot in Cancun, Mexico, in early 2024, and we wanted to bring the Mexico theme here for the people who would not be able to celebrate with them on the big day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience. From start to finish, our event was a huge success, largely thanks to the incredible team at Waypoint. The Sea Loft at the Waypoint is absolutely stunning, with the original stone walls and cathedral ceilings. The beautiful space highlights New Bedford's historic vibe, which I adore.

First and foremost, I want to give a special shoutout to Chelsey, the Catering and Events Sales Manager. She was an absolute joy to work with throughout the planning process. Chelsey's attention to detail and dedication to making our event unique and special truly stood out. She listened carefully to our ideas; her creativity and expertise helped bring our Mexico-themed vision to life. Chelsey's communication was impeccable, ensuring every aspect of our event was perfect.

The operations manager, Romario, also played a pivotal role in ensuring the event ran smoothly. He coordinated all the logistical details flawlessly, and his professionalism was appreciated. Romario's behind-the-scenes work helped everything come together seamlessly.

I can't forget to mention Mike, the bartender, who skillfully crafted delicious cocktails that perfectly complemented our Mexico theme. His friendly demeanor and bartending skills were a hit with our guests, and he kept the drinks flowing throughout the evening.

Myles and Dani, the servers, were also exceptional. They were attentive, courteous, and always had a smile on their faces. Their excellent service made our guests feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the event. Dani caught on that I do more talking than eating but made sure to cycle back multiple times to ensure I tried all the hors d'oeuvres. Myles never let a dirty plate or cup sit on a table longer than a few seconds. Their attentiveness was terrific.

Now, let's talk about the food! The custom menu created by Waypoint's culinary team was nothing short of spectacular. The Mexican-inspired hors d'oeuvres, nacho bar, and taco bar were delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the flavors of the cuisine, which added an extra layer of excitement to the event's theme. The queso was one of the best I have ever had, and they even found a way to incorporate plantains, which is my absolute favorite! Kudos to the talented chefs!

Waypoint Event Center in New Bedford, MA, exceeded all our expectations for my brother's Mexico-themed wedding shower. From Chelsey's expert guidance to Romario's behind-the-scenes coordination, Mike's delightful drinks, and the exceptional service Myles and Dani provided, the team at Waypoint made this celebration truly special. The delicious custom menu perfectly complemented the theme, leaving our guests thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend Waypoint Event Center to anyone looking to host a memorable event, as their dedicated team will undoubtedly make it an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Waypoint, for helping us create cherished memories for my brother and his fiancé!

We recently got married this past weekend 11/18/23. Chelsey and her team could not have made our wedding day any smoother than they did! From the convenience of the rehearsal dinner being a Thursday, not Friday. To being able to give them all our centerpieces and other decor with limited instruction and they nailed my vision! If we ever have any functions to host in the future we will definitely be using the waypoint again!

We had our wedding at the Waypoint Event Center and it was amazing!! Chelsey was a dream to work with, she went above and beyond her role to make sure our day was perfect. All staff was super friendly and helpful. The space is so beautiful. I highly recommend this venue for any type of event. You'll definitely be in good hands.
