“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!

“The location and view are wonderful. The cocktails were also great and our server was very sweet. We would not come back again for the food however. The she crab soup was delicious, but we were very disappointed with our entrees. My husband and I both had the salmon and it was overcooked and tasted fishy.“
