From the moment we saw the grounds at Blue Pete's we knew it was a perfect setting for our semi-formal, elegant, fall wedding (10/22/22)! We met Dawn, and it was as if the planets aligned! First of all, Dawn has incredible expertise in event management and planning. Her confidence and warm, welcoming presence made us feel very comfortable with making such a big decision. Second, the packages she and the rest of the Blue Pete's family has crafted are AMAZING. You can design your perfect scenario with their incredible outdoor spaces. The wedding packages offer affordable to everything-in-one selection! We chose a package that included staff on hand throughout our event, the cocktail hour (it was INCLUDED!!), a buffet with THREE entree selections (so everyone was happy and well-fed), chairs, champagne, food for the bride and groom upon arrival (before the event), A DJ, cake service, a signature drink, and so on.... The staff were so friendly and accommodating and they really go above and beyond to make your day as special to them as it is to you. The food is beyond good - it is far superior to any traditional wedding fare. But the ambience is 100% unmatched! I give Blue Pete's a 10/10 and highly recommend this choice for your venue! It has the atmosphere, the staff, the food, drinks - and they are welcoming to just about anything else you want to add, JUST ASK! We really felt like we got extra bang for our bucks, and the care and attention you would want on your day. Truly, it was one of the easiest decisions to make among the plethora of wedding planning decisions you have to make - and the one I feel most proud of. Blue Pete's nailed it!!!

They were so easy and wonderful to work with! Within a few emails, I had all of my questions answered, the restaurant booked, and a menu selected. I even had my choice of where inside or outside I wanted my rehearsal dinner to be! The food was AMAZING and accommodated all dietary restrictions (my own included), and the staff were friendly and helpful! It is a far drive, but SO WORTH IT! I can't recommend enough!!

Blue Pete's and Dawn helped my wife and I with our wedding reception. Dawn and her staff went above and beyond what was expected. Everything was perfect done to the most minor detail. Dawn made or wedding a day we would never forget and can't thank her enough for making one of the most stressful day so easy.

I have had multiple events recently and wish that I realized Blue Peteās did off site catering much sooner. Starting from communication regarding my needs with helpful, honest suggestions to the actual day with very satisfied guests. Their professionalism, skill, and creativity were impeccable. The presentation was amazing from cocktail hour to dinner, as well as, great flavor. Many of the guests requested business cards! Dawn was great to work with and she even had her chef with her. They were very attentive throughout the entire event. Whether my needs are small or large in the future, Blue Peteās will be my go to!! Thank you again for a great weekend with zero stress!

In September 2023 we held our son and daughter in lawās rehearsal dinner at Blue Peteās. From beginning to end we were pleased. Dawn provided options and pricing and then allowed us to come in to tour the facility and discuss everything from food to table design. Our group was able to gather in a private room where we could enjoy friends and family in a more intimate setting. Dawn was there every step of the way for any questions that came up and the wait staff was timely, professional and personable. We chose a buffet option which included hors dāoeuvres, entrees, side dishes and a dessert platter. The food was exceptional, and everyone raved about the entire experience, I would absolutely recommend Blue Peteās for everyday dining or any special event.

Blue Peteās catered my rehearsal dinner as well as my cocktail hour (pretty last minute) and completely blew it out of the water! Our rehearsal dinner was PHENOMENAL. They created the most beautiful and delicious grazing tables for my cocktail hour, that were more than I could have ever asked for. Dawn their catering manager was AMAZING to work with and handled everything so seamlessly. We received the most professional and amazing service. I could not recommend them more. If I could wind back time I would have had them cater my entire wedding. Blue Peteās will not disappoint! They deserve well more than 5 stars!

Dawn and the staff made everything from reservation to setup so easy for our sisterās baby shower. I planned my sisterās shower from out of state and it was pretty easy due to their experience and expertise. The food was fantastic and the waitstaff kept tabs on refills,etc. We never had to remind them to bring more food and drinks out and even our picky toddlers ate the delicious food served!

My *husband* and I had our wedding reception at Blue Peteās in early June 2023. I was an indecisive bride and I had never planned an event like this before. I was so fortunate to have Dawn, their event planner. I didnāt have to pay extra for Dawnās guidance, advice, and event planning skillsā¦honestly she was kind of like a bonus wedding planner/day of coordinator. The day before my wedding I dropped off the random selection of decorations I had collected and asked Dawn to take creative liberties because I was overwhelmed. She worked her magic, and the place looked so beautiful! I received so many compliments from guests about the decor and the food -delicious! It was so good my husband and I took doggie bags home.The staff was kind and they cheered on our party. We were having so much fun that other customers kept peeking over to smile and say congratulations. I am incredibly thankful to Dawn and āthe flockā at Blue Peteās. Not only did they put together a beautiful event that we will never forget, but they made it affordable! Before I chose Blue Peteās, I called several venues and they all wanted to nickel and dime me to death because they figure a bride will pay if she wants to make her dream wedding come true. Dawn generously shared several decor items from her own collection and didnāt charge me a single cent extra - any other place would have charged me by the hour to rent a tea light holder - sad but true! ALSO because Blue Peteās is on such a beautiful piece of land, we were able to get some gorgeous pictures. Now that itās over, I wish I could do it again because Dawn made everything seem so effortless. My reception at Blue Peteās was one of the best nights of my life and I will never forget it!
