The Blue Heron

ouple looking to get married in the South Bend area. The space was just perfect for our ~120 guests, and she pulled off coordinating with our other vendors and the overall reception flawlessly. I appreciated in particular her flexibility in letting us be creative with the bar and room setup. Thank you for helping us bring our vision for our wedding reception to life! Best party ever!

eate the most beautiful space and amazing wedding I could have ever asked for!! Highly recommend for anyone looking in the area to get married. :)

uring me every chance she could. The day of our wedding, she and her team had things working like a well oiled machine. Everything was absolutely perfect, and putting our trust into Lexi and her staff was the best decision we made for our wedding. Highly recommend!

was fantastic to work with and made planning and day-of very easy on us. We bought a random assortment of things for centerpieces (garland, pinecones, etc), and she and her team were able to put everything together and make it look even better than we had imagined. We continue to get rave reviews about the food, too, which is always great to hear. The dance floor was a great size, even for our 160 person wedding.

e imagined our wedding anywhere else! It is perfect for our special day! Thank you again to Lexi and her team!

a delight to work with, never shows signs of stress and is eager to help you have your picture perfect wedding. No detail goes unnoticed with Lexi and her staff. The food was amazing, we had people commenting on it all night long. The all in price we paid for everything was more than reasonable. If you are in Northern Indiana or Southwest Michigan, please check out The Blue Heron, you will not be disappointed!

the venue itself is beautiful. My husband, parents, and I enjoyed our experience working with the BH from start to finish... cannot recommend it enough!!

sy, flexible, and no drama. Lexi was a dream to work with and went above and beyond to make this day perfect for my daughter and son-in-law. Lexi responded quickly to emails. She had answers to all our questions. Advised us on things we never knew to think about. And, sent reminders of what needed done and when leading up to the big day. The staff at The Blue Heron are equally as impressive. They were dressed professionally, were attentive to all guests and their needs, and did a beautiful job setting up all our decorations. If you are looking for a full-service venue, please consider The Blue Heron for your wedding or special event. They do baby showers, bridal showers, and corporate events too! I can't say enough good things about this beautiful venue on the Blackthorn golf course. My family will have wonderful memories of this special day. Thank you so much!

enue looked like a fairytale, it was perfect! Lexi is professional and always responded to my emails in less than a day. She is super friendly and so easy to work with! I would recommend The Blue Heron every time!

e and beautiful location. It’s perfect for indoor and outdoor events. The food was amazing as well! All the guests loved it and couldn’t stop complimenting everything.

y weren't my first choice in the first place. This place will wow your guests. Lexi was AMAZING. Everything was so professional and designed so beautifully. Their planning abilities are completely unparallel as are the scenic views, the reception space, the food, the staff, etc. All our guests kept commenting how first class everything was. Everyone said it was the best wedding reception they've ever been to and we all just want to go back and live it all again! Thank you Lexi and The Blue Heron staff! You exceeded every expectation.

something big or small, and her friendly demeanor made the planning process a happy task. She was also great at sharing opinions on planning decisions when asked, which I really appreciated toward the end of our planning process. Our wedding took place in the fall, and the view of the golf course and woods behind it was a beautiful backdrop for the party. The food was delicious and there are a lot of options, too - we had no problems choosing dishes that accommodated a lot of dietary/health restrictions among my family members and I wasn't stressed about that at all on wedding day. The space was plenty big enough for ~120 guests, with room for a few more tables. The Blue Heron staff are truly wedding professionals, and I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day. Thanks for the amazing wedding experience, Lexi!

s able to juggle questions and meetings with my parents who were local, as well as with us via phone and email. Lexi was always quick to respond to our questions and would send an updated quote each time we discussed changes in logistics. I even emailed her the morning of our wedding to let her know about 3 people who we found out couldn’t make it and she was able to make sure those tables didn’t have the extra/unneeded chairs at our reception. We had tons of different questions along the planning process, and she was always very clear and knowledgable with her answers and advice. The staff at our reception were all wonderful, and many of our guests raved about the food. Lexi and the venue were flexible with most of our requests as well, such as letting us bring in some of our own ingredients for signature “his and hers” cocktails. The staff handles all of the decor setup and tear down, and all I did was provide Lexi with a list of our decor items noting where I wanted them setup. I loved not having to worry about any setup or tear down, as I certainly didn’t want to deal with that as the bride and we didn’t want any family or friends to have to help with that type of work either. We were able to schedule a time the next day to pick up any of our remaining decor items. Thank you so much to Lexi and the staff at Blue Heron for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

e prices very reasonable. And Lexi went above and beyond in making our event everything we dreamed. She was very professional and extremely accommodating, even for last minute changes. She took care of so many of the little details and set up the venue beautifully. She was such a joy to work with! I would highly recommend!

nds were picturesque. Our dinner was cooked perfectly and served hot by the professional staff. We had the sherry chicken and bistro steak which were both great. The steak was extremely tender and was more similar to a filet than anything else, despite being one of the less expensive steak offerings. If you want a beautiful venue for your wedding and an amazingly experienced onsite coordinator, we cannot recommend the Blue Heron and Lexi enough!

lads and drinks were served at the head table. It was such as nice day so everyone wanted to stay outside by the bar and chat vs. on the dance floor. Overall amazing venue. All the guest were complimenting the food and its freshness!

e moment of our initial contact with Lexi, it was clear that she would go above and beyond to meet each and every need we had while planning a wedding from Texas. Lexi managed every detail and email inquiry with unimaginable patience, grace and quality. Her help alleviated so much stress that comes with with wedding planning. And in the end, Lexi and the staff at Blue Heron made our wedding something we will never forget- from each perfectly prepared and executed decoration detail, to every perfectly served guest meal. The Blue Heron is such a classic, beautiful venue with high quality staff and amazing customer service. Their policies are transparent and fair. We would highly suggest The Blue Heron to any engaged couple.

amazing job helping coordinate the big day, and listened to all of my desires to make it happen. I am so grateful for all of the staff there who helped make our wedding amazing!

grounds were beautiful for photographs.

hing we wanted to do, they were on board. Onsite tent allows for last minute inclement weather changes. Food is delicious, and portions are generous.

prompt to answer emails and all of our questions, and made sure our evening was perfectly executed. She plans very thoroughly and is on top of the planning process with her staff. Couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous location and smoother planning process. Would recommend to anyone!

asier!! There was not one thing I had to stress about on the wedding day. The renovations and upgrades that have been made to the site are beautiful, and the food was delicious! So many people told me that was the best wedding food they have had. I could go on and on about how happy we were that we chose the Blue Heron!!!

xactly as we'd discussed. Beautiful setting out on the golf course and so easy to work with. I wish I could do it all over again!

and that expressed our taste/style. Thus, we came to Lexi with a lot of ideas and plans of our own. She was wonderful and made us feel like anything we wanted would work. They were so easy to work with and the evening went flawlessly. I was so so thankful that we went with Blue Heron. The venue looked beautiful and the food was incredible - we got many complements. I would recommend Blue Heron to any bride.

We had rain the day of our wedding, but I was determined I was going to get married outside. The rain stopped shortly before our wedding and they rushed to get everything set-up. The reception hall was decorated and put together great. Everything looked beautiful. My mother brought in a bunch of stuff for a sweets table and they put it all together for us. It looked beyond amazing. People still talk about it. The food was delicious. It is very rare to go to a wedding and actually have good food. People are still talking about how amazing the food was. This was the perfect venue for my wedding!
