My husband and I got married this past September at Oceanbleu. We attended a wedding there in the past and fell in love with the venue. We loved the indoor/outdoor concept and the ability to transform the space into any design concept due to its minimalist and airy nature. Our catering manager, Alerie Burke was brought on following our booking and was a breath of fresh air. Her prompt responsiveness and attention to detail aided any bridal anxiety I was experiencing.
She showed patience and attentiveness with each interaction. Any design concept I brought to her, she found ways to adapt it to fulfill my needs but also keep the safety and integrity of the property. Since the venue is a part of the bath and tennis house, there are stricter rules, but I had no issues when getting COs from my vendors.
We got married in the cocktail hour room under the tent, which was absolutely beautiful! The perfect backdrop of the dunes with the sound of the waves crashing was so romantic. I was nervous about the transition period from ceremony to cocktail hour, but the staff turned over the room within minutes. After that, the entire night flowed beautifully! We had 186 guests, which was a perfect amount to fill the room. We had two king’s tables opposite of the dance floor surrounded by all round tables. We rented a black and white checkered floor to be brought in, which met all my design dreams and set the stage for the romantic candle-lit vibe we were going for. We had the after-party on the beach with a bonfire and, it was Such an awesome way to end the night! All my guests were amazed and are still talking about it! Again, we were so lucky with the weather and had a warm night with minimal breeze.
I can’t go without mentioning our other catering manager, Winnie Schaeffer, and our bridal attendant, Kathy. All night, they worked effortlessly along with Alerie to make sure our wedding ran smoothly and all needs were met. I have to give a special shout-out to Kathy! The next day, she was all the talk of my family and wedding party with how amazing she was. She sought to not only all my bridal/groom needs but also my family and bridal party.
Thank you again to the staff at Oceanbleu for fulfilling all my bridal dreams!
