Out of the Blue Celebrations Reviews

Elisa helped us plan, organize and make helpful decisions for our wedding. She gave us great advice, told us what would work, and what wouldn’t, and she was exactly right. She’s very organized and has so much experience that it made our wedding perfect! She is a joy to work with and her staff were super friendly. The food was great too! I would recommend this venue if you’re looking for a venue to be held near the water with great views.

Elisa and her team at Out of the Blue are simply amazing! From day one Elisa was on top of every detail and made the entire planning process a breeze. Her staff went above and beyond during the event; everyone was so kind, thoughtful and attentive. Plus, the food was spectacular! My whole family has been raving for weeks that it was the perfect wedding!

Everyone knows the stresses that come with trying to narrow down a venue for their wedding day. The constant searching for the perfect venue, all the price quotes, food and liquor choices, vendors, etc. can be absolutely frustrating to say the least! Elisa with Out of the Blue Celebrations made all of those fears and frustrations disappear. Elisa and her team on site, along with Paul Marino, DJ Donny and Creative Florals (all their preferred vendors) as well as Doris Italian Market, made our wedding day as perfect as we could have dreamed. Elisa’s coordination of everything leading up to our wedding & throughout our wedding day, including the table décor, dessert table, message in a bottle table amongst many others was picture perfect and exactly how we wanted everything! Her attention to detail was spot-on in every way. We had nothing to worry about throughout our entire evening thanks to her and the Out of the Blue team. She even grabbed us right when the sun was setting to ensure we got our sunset photos with Paul Marino at the perfect time. The venue offers so many opportunities for amazing pictures and we loved having our ceremony and cocktail hour outside overlooking the marina with the rest of our reception indoors. Rockstar Dream Team doesn’t even begin to describe this venue and the people we worked with on our most special day. Thank you to Elisa, her team, Paul Marino Photography, DJ Donny, Creative Florals & Doris Italian Market again for the best day of our lives!

This spectacular location is the perfect setting for anyone wishing to create an intimate wedding day. Event Coordinator, Elisa, was extremely responsive and very organized and her calm demeanor throughout the planning and that day was greatly appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. The venues preferred vendors were also excellent and made the event that much easier as they know the property well. All expectations met! Could not have asked for a better wedding event for my son and daughter-in-law!

I would never be able to write enough amazing things about Elisa and this venue. Being a COVID bride, things were hectic to say the least. Elisa was on top of everything. This venue was everything I imagined and more. My husband still to this day cannot stop talking about how perfect our day was. From the staff being so attentive to the delicious food - everything was perfect. Elisa worked with me on everything little detail and did not spare any attention. She must have said "you are the bride, this is your day" to me more time than I could count. She truly made this entire experience amazing.

Elisa and her team at Out of the Blue were amazing! We are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding, the evening turned out great and everything went smoothly thanks to their professional team and staff. Elisa from start to finish was super responsive and very easy to work with. When we were looking for a venue we kept finding venues with high prices per plate that only included very basic standard options. When we met with Elisa, saw the venue, and went over all the unique options we could chose from for our guest at the lowest per plate cost we had found yet we were instantly sold. The venue was a perfect size for our wedding of just under 100 guest. On the water with an outside cocktail hour so guest could enjoy South Florida then a beautiful dining room that gave a really nice feel over your typical ballroom. The food options were so good and the guest raved about the service! Everyone still talks about the endless hand passed apps that kept coming and coming at our cocktail hour. Every server was very personable and on top of providing amazing service. We are so happy we found Out of the Blue!

I had my wedding on April 13, 2019 and all I can say is what an amazing, picturesque venue! I always dreamed of having my wedding on the waterfront, and Out of the Blue surely delivered. This venue has everything: it’s modern, beachy, elegant, and just absolutely beautiful. Elisa and her team were outstanding. She was always available for any questions I had and ensured the wedding ran smoothly. Elisa always thinks one step ahead and is extremely knowledgeable about wedding planning. Planning my wedding seemed daunting at first, but Elisa made the entire process so easy and as stress-free as possible! The food was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments from all of our guests. I highly recommend Out of the Blue to anyone who wants a waterfront wedding in South Florida.

What an amazing evening! I cannot day enough about Elisa, Donny and the rest of the staff at Out of the Blue. Every detail was incredible. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.. and there was lots of it. Donny kept the party going all night long! The dance floor was packed! And Elisa was a pleasure to work with. I knew from the beginning that the event was in reliable hands! And Elisa surpassed my expectations! Thank you for helping to make our daughters wedding a dream come true!

Always a bridesmaid and never the bride until 10.25.19. I have been thru a lot of weddings and knew what I would be looking for my special day. Having our wedding at Out of the Blue was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Elisa and her staff were so amazing at making this day perfect. I was one of those “lucky” brides who had the pleasure of rain during our ceremony and still believe everything came out perfectly. The venue itself, the food, the staff, and everything in between are 5 stars and beyond. High recommend DJ Donny with the Venue! Thank you thank you thank you. We still have guests talking about the whole night!

Out of the Blue was the perfect choice for our wedding! The tropical setting was a wonderful showing of our Florida lifestyle. Working with Elisa and her team was awesome. They have tons of experience and made the entire process stress free.

If you’re looking for a quaint old Florida atmosphere on the water, Out of the Blue is a fantastic place for a wedding. Elisa and her team ensured everything for our daughter’s wedding went flawlessly and were readily available to answer all our questions along the way. The dockside ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, dinner and reception with DJ Donny were all perfect and the dinner entrees were delicious exceeding our expectations. The weather was a perfect in January with the backdrop of the marina, intracoastal waterway and palm trees! We've received a lot of compliments from guests regarding how smoothly everything went and how they did not want the night to end thanks to DJ Donny and Elisa! As a matter of fact, we'll be attending another wedding at Out Of The Blue in July that was one of the guests at Allison and Steven's wedding!

Elisa and her team were so professional and helpful. The entire night I felt like I never had to ask for anything. All of our guests commented on how good the food was and what a wonderful location to have our reception. Can’t thank Elisa enough!

There's a reason that Out of the Blue has such phenomenal reviews. Everything on my wedding day was absolutely perfect. Elisa runs the venue and she is a true pro. She made sure every last detail was taken care of and I had multiple guests compliment the beauty of the venue, friendliness of the staff, quality of the food, and just overall what a great wedding we had! I owe all of that to Elisa and her staff.

During the planning process I also felt so comfortable. Not once did I feel like I was being encouraged to spend extra money for no reason, nor did I ever feel like any question was a silly one. I also received phenomenal recommendations for preferred vendors and wound up booking every one, which was a great decision! There really aren't enough good things I can say about my experience with Out of the Blue other than I will be forever grateful to Elisa and her staff for making my big day absolute perfection!

Out of the Blue is the perfect venue for a beautiful and private wedding! The food is delicious, the service is top notch, and of course, Elisa is amazing. She made the whole wedding planning process stress free with her recommendations from vendors (we got the dream team - DJ Donny, Paul Marino, Vincent for video, and Pablo for cigars) to details the day of. The day of the wedding went as smoothly as we could have possibly imagined with Elisa and her staff. Every guest was happy and raving about the food and service. Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to everyone at Out of the Blue. Thank you so much Elisa for everything!!

Out of the Blue was the perfect place for our wedding. It isn’t your typical looking banquet room. The views were beautiful and the food was delicious. Elisa was extremely accommodating and helpful. I didn’t have to worry about anything that day. It was absolutely perfect!

Wow! I don’t even know where to begin! Elisa and her team are absolutely amazing. From start to finish everything was so organized and easy. Every time I felt I was stressing out Elisa would calm my nerves and made the whole wedding planning process a breeze! I was super nervous about the whole set up process but Elisa nailed everything flawlessly!!The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments about how beautiful it was! Chef Ken did a phenomenal job with our food and he even gave us few complimentary selections for cocktail hour. We also used DJ Donny and we absolutely loved him! He kept the party going from beginning to end and all of our guests had such an amazing time. We cannot thank you all enough. Our wedding was everything we could have imagined and more. Thank you so much Elisa, Donny, Ken and everyone from Out of the Blue. We love you all so much!!!

Been married for a month now, time to share our thoughts! We could not have found a better venue if we had years to look. My husband found Out of the Blue by looking locally on The Knot and insisted we visit it. Once we got to the venue, we knew this was where we were going to be married. The view is amazing, the building is elegant and simply Florida. The location is perfect and you can effortlessly put your own touch on the space to make it yours. Elisa took care of absolutely everything, I never had to worry about the venue in my wedding planning. Linens, decor, you name it, she handled it, including making sure everything ran perfectly during the wedding. The food, prepared by their in-house chef, the best food ever. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her recommended vendors - Greenwise Publix for our wedding cake and DJ Donny Events for our music and DJ needs. We felt so taken care of throughout the whole process and didn't have to worry about anything the day of. Out of the Blue will forever hold a special place in our hearts. THANK YOU ELISA (& TEAM!)

We were lucky enough to get married at Out of the Blue and our day was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish!! We knew that Out of the Blue was the perfect venue for us from the second we walked in. The venue is beautiful and intimate which was exactly what we were looking for. Elisa was helpful and aways available for questions and advice and she helped to match us up with other wonderful vendors who all came together to create our dream wedding. Our family and friends are still talking about what a great wedding it was! We will forever be thankful to have had our wedding at Out of the Blue Waterfront!

Elisa and her team at Out of the Blue were fantastic. From the initial start of planning all the way up to our wedding day, Elisa was there to help with whatever we needed. When the big day came everything was spectacular. The food was excellent, from the hors d'oeuvre’s durning cocktail hour all the way to the main course, so delicious! DJ Donny was also a grea help as he made the night perfect playing all the great music thst set the mood for such a wonderful evening. We are so happy we found Out of the Blue. Thank you!!!

Cannot say enough good things. The venue and Elisa are both true gems. Everything was perfect.

Out of the Blue was absolutely amazing. Elisa was so easy to work with and my husband and I had the most wonderful wedding and exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you so much Elisa!

Elisa and her staff are amazing to say the least I was worried that everything wasn’t going to look the way I wanted because i wasn’t decorating myself but she went above and beyond I didn’t have to change anything!! I can’t thank the out of the blue staff enough for making our day so very special we had the time of our lives and so did our family we’ve heard nothing but how beautiful everything was and The food was amazing too! I would suggest to any couple to get married here! Thank you Elisa you guys were great!

Calling all brides who want a wedding that is stress free, with a spectacular view, and an absolutly AMAZING staff! Words cannot describe how dedicated Elisa and her staff are to making your wedding day even more successful than you have ever imagined. On the day of my wedding I felt so at ease because Elisa throughout the whole planning process was so easy to get in touch with. This was a huge deal for me be due to the fact that I live in Georgia and was planning the wedding from 600 miles away. This open line of communication made planning from a separate state a breeze. Out of the Blue will always hold a very special place in my Husband's and my heart but we hope to share this exceptional venue with other couples because it is the best place to host the best day of your life.

There are no words that could adequately express my heartfelt gratitude for Elisa and her amazing team. I looked at several hotel venues and all of them were almost double the cost and none of them made me feel special or important. I was just another bride calling about another wedding. Elisa was different. She was very professional yet there was a warmth to her that sold me immediately. She made me feel honored and she spoke so highly of her team that I just assumed she was the owner. She was responsive, paid attention to detail and was very flexible and understanding throughout the entire process. Our tasting was exceptional and I didn't think there was any way the chef would be able to duplicate the same experience for a full sit-down dinner, but he did. So many reviews talked about the food and they were all right. It was incredible and I received a lot of feedback from my guests that said the same. I was also extremely impressed with the team at Out of the Blue. They were all so polite and lovely. Everyone was accommodating and went above and beyond. The smiles, the energy, the warmth ... it was all exceptional. I'm still blown away. My wedding was a dream come true and I feel so blessed and grateful to Out of the Blue for being a part of it all. I will be reviewing DJ Donny, as well, but have to mention him here because I put a lot of trust in to Elisa when I agreed to use him. I was a little nervous about not shopping around, but Elisa assured me he was the best and he did not disappoint. I received so many compliments from my guests and he really went out of the way for our special day. He really knows his business and he's a professional that has made music his life passion. It's not easy getting people of all ages on to the dance floor and he did it beautifully and easily. Everyone from my 90 year old uncle to my 3 year old daughter. It was fun to watch. Thank you Elisa and the entire team at Out of the Blue ... eternally grateful ... for everything!!
