My wedding day was 1/3 sunny Saturdays this summer. I could not have asked for a better venue. My favorite restaurant is Seaglass, and when I learned there are ballrooms and private event space, I was so happy. We opted for beachside ceremony and indoor reception at the ocean room. We hosted 60 guests, and we were able to see the excellent service they provided for our guests. Amanda at the BOEC has done a wonderful job executing the event from start to finish, and our vision was clearly well communicated across staff (coordinators, servers, and bartenders.) you will see that in your portal file too, so if there was something missing.During cocktail hour, we had a bacon wrapped brisket, my for food we opted for the NE baked haddock and stuffed chicken with a side of carrots and rice pilaf, and they were absolutely DELICOUS. For a vegetarian option we chose the curried biriyani which everyone loved. In terms of vendors, we worked with a florist and a DJ from their preferred vendor list, which made delivery and set up a breeze. The baker was not on the list, but they have been there before. Overall, I highly recommend the BOEC for your event! Reviewed on 25-11-2023

This venue was beautiful and in a great location. There was a lot of miscommunication with my coordinator Ann from the beginning. We agreed on a 4pm rehearsal start time and when we arrived at 4 as planned, she told us she was planning for 4:30 so it was a bit messy and our guests just had to wait around. On wedding day, there was a random thunder storm which was crazy and so unexpected right before the ceremony. Ann did what she could to keep the ceremony outside and I appreciated that. However, the rain kept us inside but the ceremony went off fine. I paid for a consumption bar and 6k towards our guests drinks but found out that people were paying for drinks during cocktail hour and randomly during the night (paid initially then didn’t the second time in some instances). It just didn’t feel like they used the 6k towards drinks as they said. When I questioned this, I was told they have a “new system” and it didn’t calculate tips/taxes correctly. In addition, I was told I would have 2 bars open throughout the night (since we had 170 guests) and this was not the case. There was one bar open during the reception and bar line went right in front of the sweetheart table which was pretty annoying. When i inquired about why this was, Ann said the other bartender “slipped in the kitchen”. My signature drink was a cocktail in honor of my late grandparents— a Canadian club and ginger ale. Myself and Ann discussed this months in advance and she assured me they could accommodate Canadian club (a cheap whiskey), however, I went to get myself a drink at one point in the night and noticed the bartender poured me a Jameson and ginger ale—- I asked her if I could have the correct whiskey as stated in the signature drink and she stated “ i don’t know why she told you that, we don’t have that”. In addition to this, some of those who ordered beef couldn’t eat their meal because it was so undercooked while others told me theirs was over cooked or cooked fine. To top it all off, at the end of the night, a woman working the bar (not ann because she had already left for the night), told me I needed to take everything home (when we agreed months before that I could keep it and get it the following day). I asked her how she expected me to carry several glass signs on the school bus we had to transfer us back to the hotel and she didn’t seem to care how i got these back, even if they were special to me. Luckily, a family member volunteered to come get them and bring them back for me. However, some items were left over and I tried to pick them up the next day and they were nowhere to be found.

The Blue Ocean Event Center was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting with Amanda, our wedding coordinator, we knew this was going to be the perfect venue for our celebration. We appreciated everything she did for us, her creativity, and the ease of planning the perfect wedding reception with her help. From the stunning setup she and her superb team at the venue put together for our reception, to the delicious food that every single one of our guests enjoyed, all while enjoying the beautiful oceanic scenery through the tall windows.

There were pieces I didn’t want bother the team with like moving the flowers from the ceremony down to the reception, but they read my mind and there they were. Absolutely first class in every way.As an HR Manager, I know how hard it is to build highly functioning teams and get communication right.

Stacey was a great resource during the rehearsal the day prior making sure everything was all set and was helpful the day of as our on site coordinator. Leading up to the wedding, things were quite rocky at points. Our initial contact, who does not work at the venue anymore, was misleading and not up front with certain charges and dollar amounts for the event. She also had given us incorrect information at our tasting when we had decided on meals stating if a guest did not like the food or want to change their mind, they would give them the additional plate and charge us for both. For this reason, we decided to only go for one option of food instead of offering a choice. Luckily, Stacy was able to help guide us with changes that could be made once she became our point of contact. Stacy is a very kindhearted person and cares about her brides and their wedding day. My only point of improvement that needs to be made would be emailing closer to the event. Both my mother and I sent emails that were either unanswered for a few days, or the emails were not fully addressed or responded to.

We had exhausted venue options on the North Shore and once we visited Blue Ocean, we were sold. It was important to us to find a place that was located close to our families, could hold 180 guests comfortably in one room (with unobstructed views), had unique qualities and was set on the water. After sitting down with Amy the first night we checked out the space, we immediately realized the Music Hall encompassed everything we wanted. While we were impressed with how Amy accommodated our requests, answered our questions, and above all, made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day, Blue Ocean could definitely use more event planners. With three spaces and events taking place regularly, it seems quite challenging for just two people to handle every little detail. There were so many memorable moments the day of our wedding - the dances, the speeches, being surrounded by our closest family and friends - but one of the more unique ones was created by the weather. As we got married, and at several points throughout our reception, these great big waves crashed against the windows, which was quite the sight and something we'll never forget (and neither will our guests)!

What really did it at first was the amazing view of the ocean. Everyone we worked with from Patty and Karianne to the waitstaff and bartenders were amazing. When we walked in for the reception everything was set up beautifully and Karianne was right there to guide us through the night and make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. The night ended with awesome fireworks and everyone had a great time! So had so many rave reviews from our guests about the night! Reviewed on 09-02-2015
Kayla Doherty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-06-2014 We had our ceremony in the Ocean Room and our reception in the Blue Ocean Music Hall. It was absolutely stunning! The view was amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and willing to work with our budget--unlike the other ocean front venues we looked at. We were able to have a 200 person wedding, oceanfront, within out budget. I couldn't believe we were able to pull that off! We did not do the wedding package and were pleasantly surprised by what was still included at no cost! (linens, house center pieces, table number, decor for the buffet tables, etc.) Our wedding coordinators were so helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone that wants an ocean front wedding.\r\rWe loved it! Reviewed on 27-01-2015
Analisa Faro-Lak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2014 My wedding was held last memorial day weekend. When I first saw this venue I knew it was the one after all my searching. My husband and I love the beach, but did not want a beach themed wedding.. This venue was more than perfect for us, a beautiful view of the ocean, large dance floor, plenty of space for guests, and could be decorated any way we liked. We had a wine themed wedding overlooking the Atlantic ocean and it was perfect. The event planners at the blue ocean music hall were amazing! They literally did everything they could to make my day perfect. The food was excellent and my guests are still talking about my wedding 7 months later. I highly recommend this venue to anyone that's searching!!! Reviewed on 25-01-2015
Jodi Bandola(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2014 We had our wedding here this past September and everything went perfectly! Karianne, the wedding coordinator, made sure the evening flowed smoothly. Both her and the Functions Director, Patty King, were wonderful to work with during our planning process. Patty was always prompt to answer any questions we had by both email and phone. Patty and Karianne were thorough, professional, and a great pleasure to work with! When we chose the Atlantic Ballroom, we couldn't go wrong. The brand new room itself was beautiful, but the views of Salisbury Beach were amazing! We had a significant thunderstorm the night of our wedding, and our guests raved about watching the lightning light up the sky from the second floor of the Pavilion! The food was superb and came out perfect! I would highly recommend choosing to have your wedding here. I worried about many things the day of our wedding, like the weather, but I never once was concerned about our reception. Patty and Karianne took care of everything so we could just enjoy our day and our guests! Reviewed on 25-01-2015
Catherine Occhipinti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-12-2014 Even though we planned our wedding in 6 weeks, the wedding planning team was amazing! They provided ideas, total support, and creative solutions to make our day more than memorable. The view is perfect, the food was outstanding and got rave reviews from all our guests. We do not have a single regret about having our wedding in the Blue Sky Lounge. It's been 6 weeks since the wedding and we are still \"gushing\" over how beautiful it was. We recommend this venue to EVERYONE! Reviewed on 21-01-2015
Danielle Ricci(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2014 My husband and I had our wedding reception at Blue Ocean Music Hall on July 5, 2014. We both have a special place in our hearts for the beach, and this venue was the perfect place to honor that. \r\rThe music hall itself is a beautiful room with tiered seating and an industrial feel that we loved. It made it really easy to set up spaces for our buffet dinner, dancing, a Photo Booth, etc and accommodate our almost 200 guests. Much of the room is surrounded by windows and we had a gorgeous view of the ocean and the colors in the sky from the sunset. Because the room is a music hall, the sound was amazing. Our DJ set up on the stage, and we used the projection system to show a video before our entrance. \r\rI loved that all of the catering was done in house. This made it really easy during the planning process. We had a surf and turf buffet with seafood, chicken, and steak, and people all commented about loving the food. I actually wish I had taken the time to eat more. (Note to brides: EAT!!) The bar services were also fantastic! \r\rPatty and the other staff members at Blue Ocean were GREAT about meeting our needs. They were quick to respond to e-mails, allowed us to check out the space a few times, and met with us as necessary to plan out our day. They took care of setting up our decorations and coordinated with all of our other vendors, too. This made me feel confident that the day would run smoothly.\r\rFor the gentlemen out there - one of the things that sold my husband on this venue (other than it's beautiful beach location!) was the fact that there are TWO \"bridal\" suites. He really loved having a space for the groomsmen with a TV, refrigerators, and couches to relax before the big moment. The other venues we looked at only had a suite for the bride. \r\rI am so happy we chose Blue Ocean Music Hall for our wedding reception. They made for an unforgettable day, and I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful beach location with a wonderfully accommodating staff! Reviewed on 20-01-2015
Lindsay Bonfanti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2014 We just had our wedding reception here at the Blue Ocean Music Hall/Seaglass Events, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with how everything turned out. On the outside, you wouldn't think much of this place, but the inside is clean, new, and the entire back end overlooks the ocean. Patty, the events coordinator, is responsive, friendly, and accommodating, and Karianne, who spent the evening with us, was on top of everything the entire night, without being obnoxious. The staff were incredible. We opted to do the buffet to keep cost down, and everyone raved about the food. Next month, they will be opening up a brand new banquet facility on the second floor, in addition to another bar upstairs I believe. If you're looking for a venue right on the beach, this is your place! They also offer a multitude of options to accommodate any budget (buffet, plated, wedding packages, etc.). I cannot recommend this venue enough! Reviewed on 04-07-2014
