I got married at the BWCC 10/29/22. Our day turned out amazing!! We had the Lake Huron B Hall and it was the perfect size for our wedding (240 guests). Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the communication of the event staff. It didn’t help that my original event specialist ended up leaving half way through planning… but even after that I felt like I was always reaching out to check on things and nobody on their end was being proactive. And the few weeks leading up to the wedding there was a lot of extra stress on me due to lack of communication between the event staff. It’s almost like there were too many cooks in the kitchen and I never knew who I should be talking to about what. Overall I would recommend having your wedding there! We had a room block at the DoubleTree hotel so guests didn’t have to drive after the reception which was awesome too!
My husband and I got married at the Blue Water Convention Center this past fall and it was absolutely perfect. We planned our wedding while living out of state and our event coordinator, Chelsey, was so flexible with us and made it so easy! During the planning process, Chelsey responded to emails and calls in a timely manner, worked with our schedule to make it possible for a taste testing, and helped make everything run smoothly the day of! Not only was the staff great, but the venue and view was incredible. Also, having the reception venue connected to the hotel was very convenient! We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue and hotel. If you're considering a wedding in or near Port Huron, I highly recommend the Blue Water Convention Center!
The Convention Center was in a good location and our reception hall had a beautiful view of the water. The food was outstanding. The staff was very helpful and courteous.
I had my wedding here and it was an incredible venue! The food was great and the view was wonderful. The room where we had the reception and the hallway for the wedding were perfect. The people we worked with were exceptional, especially Jackie. We had several out of town guests stay at the Port Huron Doubletree which is attached to the Blue Water Convention Center and they were also great to work with. It was extremely nice being able to have everything all at one place (the caterer, ceremony, reception, and the hotel for the guests to stay). The Blue Water Convention Center helped make my big day perfect!
Our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly at the Blue Water Convention Center! We use Lake Huron Room B for our reception and the Great Lakes Prefunction Area for our ceremony (250 guests for each). We loved being right on the water (those windows!!) and even had the joy of a freighter moving through the channel behind us while we said our vows. BWCC paid great attention to detail and worked hard to make our day perfect - the room was set early for us to do our decorating, and the event coordinator & operations staff were friendly & helpful. The food from Freighters was delicious and well-received by our guests. We were permitted to bring all sorts of decor into the space, too, which allowed us to make our day our own. We highly recommend BWCC for a unique, appealing wedding venue!
I had my wedding in the Lake Huron Hall B and it was gorgeous! I was extremely worried at first that the room was just too big because I only had 125 guest. Ashley was amazing with everything, but mostly with helping me with seating set-up/table arraignment and it totally worked. The view of the river and bridge are absolutely breathtaking from the room with the large windows. The catering from Fighters was, like always, great tasting and presentation. We also rented the deck so guests could go outside. I highly recommend!
I'm mostly writing this review to balance out the bad one below; if you read it, it's obvious the author is writing about a venue in Massachusetts, not Michigan
