“We held our wedding reception at Bluewater Waterfront Grill in March 2026, and it was absolutely perfect! We worked directly with Meredith and her team, and they were truly a pleasure from start to finish. Their communication and the platform they use for events made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free.
We booked the entire 2nd floor, which gave our guests exclusive access to the deck area. The sunset views over the docks were simply perfect, and they even let our dog join us on the water for a few photos, which meant the world to us!
The service was impeccable throughout the cocktail hour and the served dinner. The 'surf and turf' was a huge hit, and the late-night snacks they provided were the perfect way to keep the energy up through the end of the reception. If you're looking for a waterfront venue in Wilmington with top-tier service, I highly recommend Meredith and the team at Bluewater!

“I’ve been dying to try this local hotdog stand ever since I’ve first came to Wrightsville Beach! The atmosphere definitely reminded me of a great Chicago hotdog stand… Even if the Vienna beef is nowhere to be had, I enjoyed the recommendations from Jackson. I have both the Polish and the traditional trolley dog. Both hit the spot along with the fountain Coke. It didn’t hurt that. It was a beautiful day to have the dogs out on the beach and parking is free in November. Service from Jackson was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.“
