BlueBridge was the most incredible and beautiful venue for our special day and the team there truly takes care of everything. They have an on-site florist, DJ, and day-of coordinators, as well as many other team members who help to ensure your day goes smoothly. They set up and took down everything for us so that we could truly just be present and enjoy the day. All of our guests raved about how beautiful everything was and really enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces and open air concept. We could not have picked a more beautiful place for our wedding!

We had such an incredible experience at BlueBridge. From the magical, woodsy reception space, to the blooming and secluded outdoor space, this location wowed our guests and made our wedding day everything we dreamt of and more! The best part? The people from BlueBridge who helped us along the way. Our space was decorated by filling out a personalized flower questionnaire with their flower artist, our day was seamless with our provided wedding coordinator (shout out Polly), and everyone from the owner, to the DJ, to the floor team, truly cared about our vision. As a worker in the hospitality industry, I was wowed by the commitment this whole team has, and even my family and friends commented on how wonderful they are.
Do yourself the biggest favor by booking here - the team, the location, and the personable touches make you feel like royalty. We absolutely loved our experience!

We had the perfect wedding day at Bluebridge and we wouldn't change a thing.
The location is gorgeous, and the staff were all so helpful. As a couple that dreads making decisions, the all-inclusiveness of their system was very helpful. Our "Day-of-coordinator", Alyssa, was so helpful and amazing. Don't let the title fool you, she did so much work before our wedding, made our timeline and ensured we were able to follow it (while also giving us flexibility on the day), contacted all our vendors to ensure everything was booked and ready to go, and swept in throughout our wedding day to ensure we had everything we needed. The rest of the team was equally incredible, from the assistant Day of Coordinator, BethAnn, our DJ, Scot, our florist, Stephanie, and all the behind the scenes staff -- everyone was so kind and helpful and did such an amazing job. I could not recommend them more highly!

I know things can't truly be perfect, but our wedding day at BlueBridge came very close to it. This venue is gorgeous, and the team handled all of our out-of-the-box details with care and handled every curveball with ease. They were SO welcoming to us and our families the entire time. I have gotten endless compliments from friends and family who attended that this was one of the best, if not THE best, weddings they've ever been to. Special shout-out to Alyssa, our coordinator for the day and leading up to it - her and her team specifically helped everything feel as easy as a dream. Thank you to everyone again!!

If you are looking for the most dreaming outdoor wedding venue in northern Michigan, look no further than BlueBridge and the team there. When I got engaged, I had no idea what kind of wedding venue I wanted and had no vision for my wedding. I toured wedding venues all over Michigan trying to decide what I wanted, my poor husband can attest to the dozens of venues we looked at and the hundreds of miles driven. When we went to BlueBridge for our visit, it started out like any other visit. However, we would shortly come to discover than there is nothing ordinary about BlueBridge. We met with Polly who made us feel so welcome and spent so much time walking us through everything and anything BlueBridge had to offer and answered my many questions in the processes. Polly really helped sell us on BlueBridge because we felt like we were cared for there, and not just another check. From that point on, BlueBridge did everything and anything to help make sure we had nothing but a positive experience. When my mother visited from out of state last minute, Stephanie made time to allow my mother to come see the venue and feel like she was part of the experience, which was challenging with her being so far away. Leading up to the wedding we were provided questionaries to help customize every aspect of the wedding, so we got everything the exact way we wanted. They were actively communicating with us to make sure every detail and expectation was met. We hired Stephanie through BlueBridge to do our florals and my goddess, that was another great decision. Stephanie and her team are creative professionals and truly helped me in every single aspect because I had no idea what I wanted. We got a wonderful proposal document that really explained every arrangement and florals being used. Day of, her team handled everything from building the arrangements, table design, moving floral décor between ceremony and reception, and even let me and one of my bridesmaids help put some flowers in to make us feel like we were part of every aspect. Leading up to our wedding, we got connected with our day of coordinator, Alyssa, who was extremely helpful from that moment on. She made time to be on phone calls with us leading up to the day to go over every aspect and detail of the day to once again assure that everything was perfect for our wedding day. She was extremely attentive, kind, helpful, and made sure the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The venue was absolutely stunning and many of our guests commented on how stunning it was as well as how well run it was. We also used a BlueBridge DJ from BlueBridge, DJ Zaya, who was fantastic. He worked with us to make the music very custom and hit all the songs we wanted while also avoiding the ones we didn’t want. Our dance floor was full of start to finish, with everyone having an absolute blast! We held our ceremony and reception at the Blue Chapel and there was also a wedding on the other side the same day, but you would never know, we had our own bubble and they did too so do not fear that there are two venues. I could say so many nice things about BlueBridge but I will wrap it up by saying look no further and book BlueBridge and their team to have the most magical wedding day you could ever imagine.

My youngest daughter got married at BlueBridge in October, and her wedding venue was by far the best of my four children. The staff was fun, attentive, professional, and, simply said, made her day magical.
The coordinators calmed our nerves and patiently answered and attended to all of our needs.
The venue was clean, picturesque and well-run. The owners were available to us at every turn and made sure everything was just perfect. A huge thank you to them for making this day so memorable and special for our family.

The BlueBridge gave us the most magical wedding weekend. The staff are outstanding, from the coordinators, managers, to bartenders, every individual was so dedicated to ensuring the night was perfect. The venue stands out among others in the area. I cannot say enough good things about the team that worked with us on our wedding day in November. The DJ we worked with was outstanding in helping us execute all the little details to make our wedding personal to us. The coordinator was so helpful with organization ahead of time and making sure our wedding went on flawlessly. There was a list of preferred vendors provided that were helpful in choosing reputable companies that have worked with BlueBridge in the past.

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at BlueBridge last weekend! Choosing BlueBridge as our venue was the best decision we could have made. The BlueBridge team truly makes you feel like family every step of the way. From the moment we first toured the gorgeous property with Polly, we knew we were in good hands. The team’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect, making our special day not just beautiful, but also seamless.
The venue itself is breathtaking, with lush nature and elegant yet cozy indoor spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The stunning landscapes created a magical atmosphere that we and our guests will cherish forever.
What truly set BlueBridge apart was the warmth and professionalism of the team (Polly, Chris, Stephanie, Maxwell, Ryan and Megan). From our initial planning conversations to the day of the event, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They listened to our vision and helped bring it to life, providing thoughtful suggestions that truly enhanced our experience.
We felt so comfortable and confident in their capable hands. Every detail, from the flowers/decor with Stephanie to the timing of events/dynamics with Polly, was handled with care, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our celebration. We feel like words can’t fully capture how grateful we are for Polly in particular. She was our first call in stressful situations, our sounding board, and trustworthy point person. We knew if it was in her hands, it was handled! In addition, we were stunned by the beauty of Stephanie’s florals. We were speechless when we saw how they turned out! She is so talented. Everyone was complimenting the flowers all night! Maxwell also helped us coordinate custom sparkling wine bottles from Mawby, three signature drinks, and additional specialty alcohol options. We were so thankful for his help!
The team coordinated with our vendors flawlessly, making the process stress-free.
In short, the BlueBridge team made our wedding day nothing short of extraordinary. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, reliable, and genuinely caring place to celebrate their love. Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, I’d give them a million if I could. From our very first meeting with Polly to tour the venue, to days after the wedding, every single employee at BlueBridge blew us away with how organized and thoughtful they were. I look back on that day with only happy memories and that is in large part because of the staff at BlueBridge. They took care of me and my wedding party and made things run smoothly and effortlessly.
Stephanie is not only an owner, but the florist and our day of coordinator! She wears her many hats with an organized grace I wish I could. Her and her husband were so present and helpful throughout the weekend that it felt like they were always supposed to be a part of our special day. I will forever be grateful to them for helping ease my stress and allow my (now) husband and I to enjoy a day that we will remember forever and be able to look back on and say “everything was perfect.”
All our love to the BlueBridge staff,
Hannah and Chris Gonzalez

Bluebridge is unmatched. We were married 9/7/2024. We had toured all of the popular wedding venues in the TC area but we kept going back to BlueBridge and are so happy that we did. The entire team is incredible. Polly, our DOC is a dream. She has such a calm presence about her that just reassured us we’d be all set come our special day. Stephanie, owner/florist exceeded my expectations and worked with me to make my vision come to life! Her and her team are incredible. Dj Ray was so much fun and kept the party going! Chris the owner was with us the entire night as well. For any additional vendors needed, their preferred vendors were all top notch.
They really care about what they do.
Our day could not have been more perfect and we give the credit to the BB team.
A week later and we’re still receiving compliments on it being the best wedding out guests have ever been to.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Bluebridge in beautiful Northern Michigan, and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue! The location is stunning, with the perfect blend of natural beauty and proximity to downtown Traverse City. From the moment we started planning, the staff at Bluebridge made everything seamless. Their communication was top-notch, ensuring that every detail was handled with care and professionalism.
The day-of coordinators were exceptional, making sure everything flowed smoothly so we could truly enjoy our day without any worries. We had a lot of out-of-town guests, and they all raved about the convenience of having the ceremony and reception at the same location. It made the entire day stress-free for everyone involved.
The in-house florists at Bluebridge were incredible. They took my vision and brought it to life in the most breathtaking way. The flowers were stunning and added so much beauty to our celebration. The DJ kept the party going all night long, ensuring that our guests had an unforgettable time.
If you’re looking to plan a wedding in Northern Michigan, we highly recommend Bluebridge. The venue, staff, and overall experience exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly magical.

When you book a vendor for your wedding, no matter what their area of expertise is in, you want to find someone that truly loves what they do. Weddings are incredibly detailed events that for many are a once in a lifetime moment. You want to make sure your entire team of vendors have the passion and the enthusiasm for making that day special.
BlueBridge and their amazing staff embody exactly that. From the day you do your first tour, through all the planning milestones, to the day of and after, BlueBridge’s team guides you along the way. They have manicured a program that eliminates oversight in all the moving parts involved and I don’t think my big day would have been nearly as calm and enjoyable if it wasn’t for them.
I cannot express how amazed I was with the entire crew. Period. They pay so much attention to every detail and curate a customized plan for each bride. The property is breathtaking and so well-maintained.
Polly was my coordinator and she was spectacular. She took the time to really understand my vision and executed it flawlessly. She has an eye for detail and her ability to communicate effectively and perform under pressure is something to be admired. She is also the sweetest person ever and wonderful to work with. She is doing exactly what she was meant to do in this world.
As a wedding vendor myself, I have worked with hundreds of venues over the years so needless to say when I was looking to plan my own wedding, I had my bar set pretty high. BlueBridge exceeded my expectations on every front.
I can honestly say booking them for your venue will be a decision that will reward itself to you a hundred times over.
Thank you so much guys for helping me make my wedding into MY wedding and bringing to life the most beautifully unique immersive experience of our love story to our guests.

The decision to choose BlueBridge as our wedding venue was pretty simple. We knew we wanted to be married up north and as close to our dating anniversary as possible which meant we would need to have our wedding indoors during early November. BlueBridge is the singular venue in the Grand Traverse area (and beyond) that completely embraces the up-north feel without being cliche, overly "rustic" ski-lodgy. Polly was immediately receptive to our calls and we reserved our date without ever seeing the space indoors until a couple weeks before our actual wedding. The photos are what ultimately last and everything we could see online was more than compelling enough for us. The planning process was seamless and Polly, Kassidy, Stephanie, Chris and Ray walked us through so many aspects we would have been otherwise clueless about. This review would be an unreadable length if I were to list these points, just know that nothing is too small or too big of an ask when you have this team behind you.
The space was decorated beautifully, I wish I had better words to describe it. I never worried anything would look bad or tacky but when I came out of the bridal suite and saw the table settings, that was probably the closest I came to crying all day. It felt like an autumnal wonderland and I felt so confident and proud for the night we were about to have. If you do your events with BlueBridge, do not pass up the opportunity to work with Stephanie for all your floral designs.
As for coordinating the wedding day, Polly stayed true to her promises that us, our wedding parties and parents wouldn't have to think of a thing and that she would handle everything. She sensed when to move on to the next event and kept the party flowing without a single hiccup to the entertainment. Miraculously, the team even managed to take a photobooth picture when I barely made it in there lol. I treasure every single memento!!
The event space was the perfect backdrop for a timeless, romantic night which is exactly what we wanted and exactly what we got. I couldn't even tell you how many people told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The bonfire was a huge hit for our friends that would rather chat, and also a great reprieve for anyone needing to cool off from the dance floor. Even though it was chilly outside, I could tell everyone was comfortable. Any kids in attendance had a blast too, not a single bored face to be found. They loved the swing, hot chocolate and s'mores at the bonfire; some parents even told us they regretted not bringing their kid afterall, saying they would have had a ton of fun.
I hope we get ourselves invited to a BlueBridge wedding one day, it's just a perfect space anyway you look at it. Polly and every member of the team are amazingly warm and make you feel like you're the only couple they're guiding / that matters. Not sure how they do it but we'll be grateful for our entire lives for helping us throw the best party we'll ever have.
We could never say it enough but thank you so, so much to the entire BlueBridge team for the "wedding of the century" as my grandma put it lol.

Stephanie's floral designs are indeed spectacular, and it’s wonderful to know they added to the beauty of your day. We’re so glad the table settings brought you such joy! It’s touching to hear that your friends and family had such positive feedback, and that your grandma dubbed it the "wedding of the century" – what a compliment!

We got married at Blue Bridge Event Center on 11/11/23 and I could not recommend this venue enough!! From the start the professionalism and communication was amazing! Polly, Stephanie and the Blue Bridge staff were on top of every little detail from start to finish. They made wedding planning feel like a breeze and always helped me if I had any questions. The day of our wedding, we were on time for everything and made our day feel like an absolute dream!! Thank you Blue Bridge Team!

Choosing Blue Bridge was the by far the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Everyone always talks about stressed they were when planning their weddings and I can honestly say I did not feel one ounce of stress thanks to the BlueBridge team. They seriously do everything for you! They provided a great list of preferred vendors and we were able to find the best photographer and caterer! We chose for Stephanie to do our flowers and she did AMAZING! One of the biggest compliments we got was our flowers. She was able to bring my whole vision for bouquets and centerpieces to life after only sending her like 5 pictures. I cannot say enough good things about Polly, Chris, DJ Ray and everyone else on the team. Our day was perfect!

The BlueBridge processes were very easy and simple to follow. We did not have issues understanding what was the next step.
Having dedicated employees for each position was really nice as well. We felt like we were working with a strong team with the coordinators, owners, florist, tech guy, handyman/landscape guy, and DJ.
Everyone made every detail that we wanted possible. The amount of meetings were not overwhelming. There were some things that we feel we pre-planned ourselves but if we didnt, BlueBridge team would have filled in the gaps. The questionnaires that BlueBridge provided were very useful and easy to use to define the finer details.
Alyssa was our coordinator and it truly felt like we were working with a friend and she kept us calm with everything going on. She helped us create the wedding day schedule, tend to our wants, lots of behind the scene work, and making sure any detail isn't missed.
A great team to work with and a beautiful venue location for a perfect wedding. Having the team made us much more confident everything would go perfect! Highly recommend!
The florist and DJ are integrated into the BlueBridge team. Their DJ has to be used but you can choose another florist if desired.

To say that BlueBridge was absolutely amazing is an understatement. From day one, the team here worked tirelessly to make our day as absolutely magical as it was. They know weddings, and have them down to a science. From providing a list of amazing vendors in the area, to providing us with Amy (their amazing event coordinator), by the time the day came, we were left with nothing to worry about. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully decorated, with a quaint woodsy feel, perfectly capturing the essence of "up north Michigan" in the most elegant way. We were very fortunate to book an August wedding, and were able to utilize the outdoor area which was beautifully lit and provided a space for our guests to mingle during our reception. The team was eager to do whatever was needed to make it our dream wedding day. From our first conversation, it was clear that they are passionate about what they do, and that translated into the most incredible day we could have asked for. I cannot recommend them enough!! 100000/10

Blue Bridge was literally everything we could have ever wanted for our wedding venue!!! Their facilities are unique and beautiful, their help and attentiveness through the planning process was above and beyond, and their staff was TOP NOTCH… we literally felt like their team was family by the time our wedding was over.
We got married on the “Bridge” side and had Polly as our day of coordinator. She made sure every detail was executed and our day was stress free! Stephanie brought my floral vision to life more than I could have ever dreamed of, and DJ Ray was exceptional!
Chris did our tour last summer and made us confident this was where we wanted to get married. He made the beverage planning process easy as well as all of the payment schedules. The day of on-site team was amazing- making sure things were just how we wanted and making the experience for our guests great.
I can’t believe how many times we heard “this is the best wedding ever” or “this wedding venue is amazing where did you find it!!!”
Overall I could not say enough how happy we were with Blue Bridge Events Centre - it made our wedding as memorable as it was. ❤️

We 100% recommend BlueBridge! We toured BlueBridge about 14 months before our wedding and felt like a part of the family the whole time. They sent us detailed questionnaires about beverages, floral, wedding ceremony details, music details, etc. ahead of time. The coordinator and DJ also spoke with us ahead of time to make sure those questionnaires were gone through and details were taken care of. Also, it is so nice to have an in-house DJ, bartenders, coordinators, and florist. You DEFINITELY should do your flowers through them, too! So beautiful! I cannot say enough good things about BlueBridge except that everyone should get married here!

My husband and I got married on the Blue Side of BlueBridge in June of 2023, and we could not have been happier with our choice! Right from the beginning before we even toured the venue, the staff was super communicative and helpful. The tour sold us immediately - the place is GORGEOUS and photos simply cannot capture how great this space is. Everyone is so professional and helpful through every step of the process and are so easy to work with. The day of the wedding could not have gone smoother with this team helping, and I really could not have had a better experience. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

We booked Bluebridge in April of 2022 for our wedding in June 2023. We were instantly impressed upon touring in 2022 as 2 things were immediately apparent:
1. The BlueBridge team truly cared about us and our day. They sincerely wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams and wanted to offer all the support they could to make it happen.
2. The team had the experience to make our dream day happen. From the preferred vendor list, in house vendor services (flowers, bar, and more), the constant availability to answer questions and guide us in our planning and day of coordination, a perfect day felt like a stress-free guarantee.
We would give BlueBridge 6/5 stars if we could, I would recommend the BlueBridge team to anyone whether coming from in state or out.

I cannot recommend BlueBridge Events enough!! Surrounded by natural beauty, it provided the most picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The lush greenery, breath taking pines, and sunset by the lake created a romantic atmosphere that left us in awe.
The staff at this venue is simply outstanding. From the very beginning, they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our celebration was flawless, and their dedication truly made us feel special.
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but choosing BlueBridge made the entire process a breeze and the day as stress-free as possible.

We booked Blue Bridge (Bridge Side) for our wedding in May 2023. There aren’t enough words to explain how amazing the entire process of wedding planning was. On our initial tour of the venue 10 months prior, we felt embraced and taken care of. Every single one of the staff members that we encountered were beyond fabulous, attentive, and helpful. Each member made sure our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined.
Our guests LOVED the venue. The grounds were well taken care of and had so many added touches that made it light up and look beautiful. The chapel was perfect to get married in.
Our planning process went incredibly smoothly. They are a well oiled team and thought about every detail! It was easy to book, plan, and coordinate our day because of everyone that helped.
The wedding day was fabulous, perfect, and amazing. The crew were eager to work and make our dreams come true. The DJ had the dance floor going, the bartenders had the drinks flowing, and the managers and planners made sure the day went without a hitch.
The only thing we were sad about was that the night went by way too fast! We wished we had more days to celebrate with the BlueBridge Team!
If I could book every event with them, we would again and again.

We could not imagine being married anywhere else. The team at BlueBridge is phenomenal. They were helpful and attentive every step of the way. Pages was our day of coordinator and she is a super star. As a bride, she helped me relax as I knew she had everything under control. The venue is breathtaking. It’s a very relaxed, beautiful, fun vibe - exactly our taste. They have a florist, Stephanie, and she had the most beautiful & affordable flower arrangements. It was so easy to book directly through the venue. BlueBridge made our wedding day what it was - absolutely perfect. We could not recommend them enough.

Still smiling about the amazing experience we had with our daughter Maggie's wedding at BlueBridge on 10/29/22. First of all we were blessed with a 64 degree day in late October! Amazing. Because of this, we were able to have the walls rolled up on the chapel for the ceremony and bring the beautiful outdoors inside for the service. It was magical...as was everything about the day.
The staff at BlueBridge are outstanding. Each person we worked with made us feel like our wedding was the most important one they've ever worked on. Special shout out to Polly, our day of coordinator...but really a 6 month coordinator. She is friendly, organized, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you have nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. She follows up with vendors, checks on all details, and is truly a friend as you are experiencing an emotional event in your child's life. She's an absolute gem.
The entire team at BlueBridge is amazing. Chris and Stephanie the owners clearly love what they do. This filters down to everyone who works for them. I love that they have floral on site as well as DJ and bartenders. It makes a destination wedding so much easier to accomplish. I would highly recommend BlueBridge to anyone looking for an Up North Michigan wedding experience. Bravo!!

We are so grateful to have made a big impression for your guests. Can we just say, we loved being able to decorate the space so you didn't have to haul a bunch of decor from Grand Rapids.

This was an amazing venue. We chose to have our wedding up in Traverse City and fell in love with the atmosphere, aesthetics, and what was provided in their wedding package. We got married in September of 2022 at the Blue side of BlueBridge. We did not have to worry about any detail of our wedding. Planning a wedding is extremely stressful and the staff at BlueBridge not only treats you like family, they ensure your day is about you. They plan, decorate, and orchestrate the entire day based on your requests. The venue itself is absolutely incredible. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. Our wedding turned out better than expected and it was all thanks to this venue. Highly recommend this venue to anyone considering getting married in the Traverse City area.

We had our daughters wedding on 7-22-22 at Blue Bridge. It was the most magical and amazing day! From the moment we met Polly, Stephanie and Chris, we knew Blue Bridge was the place for our special day. Polly is a master organizer and guided every detail through the year of planning . We felt so at ease knowing Poly was on top of every detail and she executed everything she touched with such care and concern. Stephanie is an amazing florist and created such exquisite flowers for the wedding. She turned our vision into reality and one of the highlights of the wedding were the gorgeous flowers that complemented the beautiful venue. We are so grateful and appreciative for all that the Blue Bridge staff did to make our daughters wedding day more magical and beautiful than we could have imagined. I highly recommend this venue not only for the beauty of the place for for the beauty of the people who make it all happen!!

This was the absolute best venue for our wedding. I cannot recommend BlueBridge enough. While the venue on its own is absolutely stunning, what you don't realize when you book with BlueBridge, is that you also get a Day of Coordinator which is HUGE. I had Polly and she handled everything related to the day of the wedding including contacting and coordinating all of the vendors as well as ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we stayed on time. I cannot emphasize how wonderful that was. I know for a fact, that the day would not have gone as smoothly as it did if it wasnt for Polly and the AMAZING BlueBridge team. If you are considering this venue, you should just go ahead and book, you will not regret it one bit. Our day could not have been more perfect, we loved it and our guests did too.

This venue is beautiful, professional, and economical. If you are looking for a exceptionally beautiful Northern MI vibe, schedule a walkthrough here ASAP. Pictures do not do the gardens and spaces justice. Trust me, just go there. We were married at BlueBridge in October last year and thanks to their due diligence, the wedding went off without a hitch. They seem to always be improving the venue and services/decor offered too. And it’s a family business. What more could you ask for?
Polly, who handles a lot of the coordination and interfaces with clients, is fantastic. Their in-house florist, Stephanie, is absolutely able to make your flower dreams come true. (but you don’t have to use her. In fact, I don’t think they have any vendor restrictions) I had a slightly more colorful and unique vision for my florals and they really pulled it off, including designing a floral cloud to hang over our sweetheart table. The venue also helps coordinate and recommends vendors. While you still contact vendors yourself, BlueBridge will listen to what you’re after and point you in the right direction. When the wedding is a month or so away, they start reaching out to vendors and coordinating everything. Most venues do not offer this and make you hire a wedding coordinator of some kind instead. If you want a large wedding with multiple vendors and things going on, this venue automatically saves you a couple thousand. Even if you don’t, it saves you (or your mom or maid of honor or whomever you designate to help run things on the day-of) a big headache.
When you get into the nitty gritty of wedding planning, there are a million details that either 1) depend on the layout/specifics of the venue or 2) you have never thought of before and there is no answer (or too many answers) on Google to save you. This is where BlueBridge shines. Not sure if the timeframe is right for when the bus picks up guests from hotels in downtown TC? Not sure exactly how much beer to order? White wine vs red quantities? How exactly your wedding party should stand and with which hand on top of the other? Not sure if you should order backup linens for tables in case one is wonky or has a stain? Not sure who in the area to order pizza from for a late night snack? Not sure exactly how much time to allot for photos between the ceremony and dinner? BlueBridge knows. And they will answer your questions so everything is on point and then take care of it for you on the day of your wedding so you don’t have to think of it at all.
With all of these details, things could go wrong, tensions could get high, people could be a little short tempered or unprofessional. But the BlueBridge staff were so professional and *extremely* competent the entire time.
Book this venue!

We couldn't speak any more highly of BlueBridge. It was our first venue tour and we didn't even want to go to any of our other tours because we walked in and knew this was the place. We loved that mostly everything was in house, and if it's not, they'll help you coordinate with your vendors anyways. After we set up menus with bakers/caterers and got our photographer, Amy handled contacting them the couple weeks before our wedding to get timelines and we didn't have to coordinate anything with them or worry about it day of. We wanted something turnkey and that we didn't have to stress about and this was truly it. Our coordinator, Amy, was so easy to communicate with and made sure everything was taken care of (even making decisions when I asked her to since I was unsure. :)) We did our flowers through Stephanie at BlueBridge and they turned out so beautiful. We also did most of our decor through BlueBridge, making set up (which Amy pretty much took care of for us!) and tear down so simple and not having to haul a ton of items home with us was great. The day of, the staff at BlueBridge made sure we were taken care of all day, we didn't have to do anything. Amy brought us drinks, food and checked in on both of our bridal parties all throughout the day to make sure we were set. Chris was our on site manager that day and logistically made sure everything went great. The bartenders were super fun and friendly. Ryan, our DJ through BlueBridge, was awesome as well. Also, on our initial tour, they recommended the cabins next door (Ellis Lake Resort) and we definitely are glad they did - we rented out the whole property for our friends and family and it was amazing to be able to walk to/from the venue that day. We absolutely loved how stress free our day was and BlueBridge treated us so well!

We absolutely LOVED BlueBridge and so did all of our guests!!! We were told multiple times that this venue was the best wedding they have ever been to! Chris/Stephanie/Maxwell/Elizabeth were all AMAZING! They made our day magical and perfect. We also held our rehearsal dinner in the outdoor tent area on-site, and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. The venue is beautiful, the staff is exceptional and we would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.
