Oceanbleu

My daughter's wedding last Saturday night was amazing. Jason and Amanda realized everything they dreamed of and then some! It was romantic, beautiful, perfectly managed by William, Jessica and the entire staff, personally unique and over the top. Total Perfection beginning with the ceremony on the beach, through the cocktail hour and reception, ending after a wonderful Bonfire...cuisine, service, fun...can't say enough.

I want to start by saying that I am not one to write a review good or bad. (Actually, this is the only one I have ever written). But, I couldn't hold back this time regarding my wedding two weeks ago at the Oceanbleu. From the moment my fiance' and I walked in and was greeted by William, we knew there was no other place we wanted to look. He is amazing and I couldn't think of anyone that could compare to him in helping us plan our wedding. Then he introduced us to Jessica, and WOW is all I can say. She was just as amazing. The two of them together coordinated the most wonderful wedding we could have ever imagined. Their recommendations of a DJ (Michael Variale), Photographer (Lisa Nicolosi) and florist (Rori) was right on and they all surpassed our expectations. The weather threatened in the morning but turned out beautiful and our guests enjoyed every moment of the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert parade, beach, moonlight, and the never before seen ( at a wedding any of our family and friends have attended) "the bonfire" What an amazing end to this spectacular day. Thank you to Sarah. Your were a great bridal attendant and I thank you so very much for attending to all my needs, but most importantly attending to my 92 year old mom. Thank you all again for a day I could never have imagined. Our family and friends are still talking about it and wish we could do it all over again. That means a lot to us. We wanted to throw the best party ever to celebrate us and we did it, but without all of you we could never have achieved all that it was. An added side note: A week after the wedding, we received a phone call from Jessica. She said we overpayed by $10,000 (one of our payments was not recorded) and that it was being held in the safe for us. I was overwhelmed. The honesty an integrity of both her and William is just one more reason that I will never forget them. I consider them family.

I would 100% do my wedding here again, although I did have some concerns on a few things. First I'll say that the venue is obviously GORGEOUS! I was VERY happy with the food, dessert parade, and our event coordinators (Jessica and William). They were both fantastic to work with. Jessica paid very much attention to detail and dealt with probably hundreds of emails from me over the past year and a half. She was REALLY great! Our bridal assistant (sarah I think) was also FANTASTIC to work with. She kept me well fed and drinks in hand, on track for all my dress changes and bustling. She was like a little miracle and I HIGHLY recommend to get the bridal assistant (I think it was $300 extra- 100% worth it. The food was AMAZING! (And I'm a NYC foodie and an avid cooking enthusiast). VERY VERY good food, everyone loved it. The venue did a very good job and went above and beyond to help me out with my wedding decor, which was a lot. It was something I was worried about since I didn't hire a wedding decorator and I was VERY happy with how they organzied everything and set it all up. So a few of the things I was disapointed by: it wasnt clearly explained that when we ordered breakfast and mimosas and drinks to the grooms suite during the day, they would be charged by the HOTEL (sort of like room service rates) and we ended up getting a bill for like $1400 after we finished lunch. Also Our $400 lunch that we had already paid for to the caterer didn't come till like 2;00 (not sure if they forgot or what) which noone got to eat because we were all getting ready to take pictures by that time. heaters were not put out and then we were later told they were not in our contract which was not true bc we were told they would be put out based on weather. Not a lot of options for putting down a wooden walkway for the beach ceremony...this was a huge hassle to arrange. Overall still am happy with this venue, ESPECIALLY happy with Jessica and William and would recommend it

William made the selection process so easy!!! Was able to work with us to make this the venue of choice! Looking forward to the wedding!

William and the entire Oceanbleu team were just amazing. All of our guests were blown away at how well executed our wedding was from the ceremony down to the reception. The food was out of this world. The cocktail hour had so much food, everyone thought that that was the entire wedding! And the dessert parade!!! It was just so magical. Thank you William and also to Allison for making sure we were fed, had a drink and that we were having a good time. Many people have told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to and that just made us so happy. Thank you again!!!!!
