    Gorgeous location, professional team

    We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location for our September wedding. We wanted a beach ceremony with a back up in case the weather wasn't great. The Blue Ocean Event Center was perfect! We chose the Blue Ocean Music Hall for our reception for the number of guests we had and the fact we were getting a band. It was PERFECT! It felt like we were at a concert and we had a blast! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I'm so glad we used the Blue Ocean Event Center.

    The most magical venue

    I can’t rave enough about how perfect this venue was for our special day. The food was OUTSTANDING, the layout, the space, the views, the staff, EVERYTHING was so perfect. It was exactly how I pictured it. Amanda was so sweet and easy to work with. She was so flexible with last minute changes, and helped me stay calm cool and collected with my bridal anxiety was at an all time high. I’m so in love with blue ocean, everyone kept saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to. 😍 thank you thank you!!!! Also- shout out to the blue ocean team for helping me with dress malfunctions.

    Best Venue Around!

    My husband and I got married here just this past weekend on 5/22/22 and everything was absolutely seamless! Our event coordinator, Amanda Graham, was absolutely amazing and made our day go perfectly without any issues. As she stated herself, she works great under pressure and she delivered on that on our wedding day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and super accommodating with whatever you need. The staff is extremely friendly and all of our friends cannot stop talking about what an amazing venue it was. We got married on the beach and had our reception inside and everything was perfect. They even let our dog be part of the ceremony and inside the building while we were getting ready! We cannot thank Amanda Graham enough for her amazing work!!

    Fun Venue and Professional Hosts!

    All of our guests had an amazing time at our wedding held in the Blue Ocean Music Hall. We had a live band perform, so our wedding was like dancing at a concert! There was plenty of space for our 125 guests, and could easily fit more. You also get a beautiful view of the ocean from the full length windows. The staff was so helpful and responsive during this whole pandemic. We had no issues moving our wedding date and appreciate how accommodating they were! They were excellent at communicating and noting everything we wanted for our reception. There is also a back room to use as a Bridal Suite. Our coordinator Kristin took care of everything, and...

    Exceeded every and all expectations!!! 10/10

    Got married here on 8/20/2021 and it could not have been a better experience!! From the ceremony right on the ocean to the beautiful open windows inside the venue, the scenery couldn’t have been more beautiful. All of our friends and family couldn’t have been more impressed with how the day came out. And a huge thanks to all the staff who are so wonderful. I worked with Erin B. who helped every step of the way. Even our vendors mentioned how great it was to do work here. Wedding planning is so stressful but she made sure to cover every base and responded to any questions faster than I’d imagine. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beach wedding!! Solid 10/10 !

    nothing but great

    What a beautiful venue! There are so many choices to make your perfect day special. I loved both the idea of having the wedding on the beach and the indoor ceremony space as well. We had such a blast during our food tasting too. We were one of the couples that had to postpone our wedding due to Covid-19. The venue was nothing but extremely helpful and understanding throughout this crazy time. I definitely recommend this venue!

    Beautiful view with an amazing staff!

    My husband & I had our reception in the Grandview Hall at Blue Ocean on September 1st this year. We honestly have nothing bad to say about our experience. We absolutely loved working with Jess & Kate. They were so helpful with all of our questions. Jess, Kate & their staff had made our reception look more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. It’s been a month already and we are still getting complements on how delicious the hors d’oeuvres & entrees were. The rest of the staff were equally as amazing with packing up our decor & holding it for a couple of days (due to the holiday weekend). Hands down the best experience & made our day feel even more special!

    Thank you so much Jessica & Stephen!!! We are so happy we were able to help make your wedding day special!

    Perfect in every way!

    We celebrated our marriage on the deck at Surfside on a Saturday afternoon in June 2019. The venue was the perfect setting for our casual wedding reception! Jess was our event planner. She was very easy and pleasant to work with and thought of every detail. We chose passed appetizers and the lobster bake for lunch. The food was delicious! Wait staff and bartenders were the best. Great venue for a fun party!

    Blue Ocean Event Center's reply:

    Thank you so much Cathy & Charles! We are so happy SurfSide was the perfect venue for your marriage celebration!

    We absolutely loved working with Blue Ocean Event Center to plan our perfect wedding celebration. Our coordinator was Stacy Kelly and she did a fabulous job. We were able to draw on her extensive knowledge about weddings as she helped us plan and schedule our day. She took us through all the possibilities for a ceremony and reception step by step, and planned it all out according to our tastes. She also has a lot of knowledge about the various vendors and venues in the area, so she gave us good advice on the rehearsal dinner and all aspects of our day.

    We had our ceremony in the Granview Hall. It lived up to its name and...

    This venue could not be more perfect! Even though the weather was like a monsoon the day of my wedding, the staff at The Pavilion/Blue Ocean Music Hall/Seaglass Restaurant made it beautiful. The location is unbeatable, the value is amazing, the food was delicious, the facilities were clean and well maintained. Patty King and M.E. were incredible. Helping me with every last detail, they were supportive and helped my day become exactly what I had imagined. Emails and phonecalls were always very quickly responded to, and they were super flexible when there was a last minute change to my headcount. I seriously wish I could have another wedding just to do it all over again with this crew! If...

    Exceptional!

    The team at Blue Ocean is exceptional!
    Amanda was our wedding coordinator and captured every little detail perfectly. She spent the time to make sure she understood and we understood how the day would unfold. She’s an incredible listener, problem solver, organizer and one of the best communicators I have met. She was able to relay everything to the team. That team listened and executed every last detail flawlessly! Not only was everything perfect, they served our guests with a smile and were overly accommodating. There were pieces I didn’t want bother the team with like moving the flowers from the ceremony down to the reception, but they read my mind and there they were. Absolutely first class in every way.

    April 2022 Wedding at Blue Ocean

    We had our reception at Blue Ocean in April, and the experience was perfect across the board. Kristin was our coordinator, and she was terrific to work with. She helped facilitate meetings and discussions as we were not local to the area. The food, the service, the people, were all outstanding. And the Grandview Hall has to be among the most beautiful rooms in the US. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful experience for our small winter wedding!

    We were married at Blue Ocean in December 2021. The Ocean Room was the perfect size for our small (50 person) reception. (Although they have spaces suitable for much larger receptions, too). The views are stunning, the food and cocktails are good, and the staff is exceptionally kind and helpful. We had initially assumed this place was out of our budget considering the oceanfront location. But it was more affordable than we expected, especially in winter! A day-of coordinator was included when booking the venue. We were paired with Amanda, who was super knowledgeable, organized, and efficient, and made both our lead-up and day-of significantly less stressful. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Blue Ocean!

    Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Guarini

    There was never a doubt in our minds that we wanted to get married at The Blue Ocean Event Center. From the breathtaking views of the Atlantic ocean to the sands of Salisbury Beach and what we believe is the most gorgeous beach in New England. Our experience from beginning to end was simply amazing! Our wedding coordinator Amanda went above and beyond to make the wedding planning process as easy & as seamless as possible. Even up to two hours before we were supposed to get married on the beach and couldn’t because the beach had flooded, she set up our wedding next door at the Surfside 5 which turned out to be the most spectacular back drop...

    This venue and their team were SO accommodating and communicated as much as they could and more and guided us the whole way! COVID didn’t allow them to have our wedding due to the restrictions at the time but their professionalism and care throughout it all still carries with me today. I speak of this place often and recommend it to family and friends as I loved the location, views and the team

    Absolutely THE BEST VENUE for an ocean view wedding! I booked this venue during a North Shore Bridal Expo last fall 2017 when they had a special discount for booking and got away with the steal of the century. I had my ceremony at a nice beach chapel 5 minutes down the road from this venue which was just perfect. They do have options for having ceremony held here too. I worked very closely with Stacy who is AMAZING!!! Always very calm, composed and professional - Stacy worked very closely with me and my husband on wedding venue layout, design, time flow, answered all our many questions and ensured that all of our wedding props were collected and safely...

    From the moment we saw it we knew the Blue Ocean was our venue! We had beautiful views of the water and the beach (you literally can’t get any closer to the water without getting wet!) and we didn’t have to worry about a back up venue if there was rain! The staff was wonderful and professional. We worked with Liz who was incredible! She remembered every detail of our wishes, thought of things we never would have and solved multiple crises before we even knew they were happening! She was extremely patient and kind and helped me to remain calm when I wasn’t always feeling so calm! The food provided by this venue was also delicious! We got...

First and foremost, Stacy was absolutely amazing to work with; she thought of every detail and was with us every step of the way to make our day absolutely perfect. The view from the Grandview Ballroom cannot be beat; our guests were in complete awe and also enjoyed being able to watch us all take photos on the beach from the ballroom above. The food at Blue Ocean is spectacular - our guests all praised everything from the apps to the main courses. The even staff was wonderful and received compliments from our guests.

    I'm excited to have Blue Ocean Event Center to be my wedding venue! Amy, the event manager is extremely knowledgable about wedding event planning and coordination. I've been an event planner myself, and therefore, I'm very picky when it comes to someone being my wedding coordinator.

    Our wedding will be April 2016, but I feel that Blue Ocean will be the perfect venue.

    The decor is neutral and elegant and the rooms all face the Atlantic Ocean (Salisbury Beach). The total cost for ceremony and reception is very reasonable and practically includes all the necesary particulars. Importantly, the food is amazing.

The service that our coordinator Stacy Kelley provided us with was second to none. She was kind, patient, understanding, and helpful. We could not speak more highly of this venue. We loved everything. The professionalism of the staff, the food, the drinks, the flow of the evening - everything was perfect! The true star of this venue is the view! It cannot be surpassed. Our guests could not stop talking about it. The ocean is right there. You feel like you are on a boat...

    We can not stress enough how pleased we were with this venue. We held our ceremony and reception ( for 65 people) in the Ocean room. The staff was friendly and very professional, all of our needs and wishes were attended to so we could enjoy the day without any worries. The food was very good and we had many compliments from our guests. But of course the main reason we chose there was the view! It is spectacular and a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. We look forward to going there again on our anniversary! Lisa and Kevin Paton

    We looked at a lot of venues before choosing the Blue Ocean Music Hall. As soon as we saw it we knew it was the right place. What really did it at first was the amazing view of the ocean. Everyone we worked with from Patty and Karianne to the waitstaff and bartenders were amazing. When we walked in for the reception everything was set up beautifully and Karianne was right there to guide us through the night and make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. The night ended with awesome fireworks and everyone had a great time! So had so many rave reviews from our guests about the night!

    We had our ceremony in the Ocean Room and our reception in the Blue Ocean Music Hall. It was absolutely stunning! The view was amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and willing to work with our budget--unlike the other ocean front venues we looked at. We were able to have a 200 person wedding, oceanfront, within out budget. I couldn't believe we were able to pull that off! We did not do the wedding package and were pleasantly surprised by what was still included at no cost! (linens, house center pieces, table number, decor for the buffet tables, etc.) Our wedding coordinators were so helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone that wants an ocean front wedding.

    We loved it!
