The Bluewater

Bluewater was the perfect setting for our wedding - beautiful, relaxed, and so well put together. The function space upstairs is stunning with fantastic views of the marina, but what really made the experience so special was working with the events manager Simone. She was calm, organised, and genuinely cared about making our day exactly how we imagined it. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. She had great ideas but worked with us to plan and make decisions as we wanted. We left it up to her to decide on the table settings with our beachy theme and we had no regrets, it looked fantastic! Simone kept everything on track on the day without ever making it feel stressful, and somehow managed to be behind the scenes making things happen while still feeling completely present and supportive. Every time we turned around with an empty glass she was there with a new one and right before the big moment she was there with water and mints for a fresh first kiss. The day went off without a hitch. Everything flowed so naturally, and we were able to just turn up and participate in the day knowing that Simone had everything under control. The food was above and beyond what was expected everyone commented on how fantastic and tasty the food was. We didn’t expect the food to be bad but for a buffet style we were blown away at how tasty everything was. It was honestly the best day of our lives, and a big part of that is thanks to Simone and her team. If you're planning your wedding, we can't recommend them enough and it’s now a nice place we can go to celebrate little wins in life and reminisce on the experience we had for our wedding.

Simone and the Bluewater team made our dream wedding day come true. If I could give more stars I would! Communication was always amazing. Their venue and package price's were extremely affordable and presented/delivered beautifully. We had free range to make the space our own and in any moments of overwhelm, they always had a solution better then expected. Planning a wedding is stressful and lonely sometimes but Simone and the team lifted any weight we had and made us feel like the only couple in the world getting married. Looking back at our special day for years to come, the Bluewater team should be honoured that they will always have a special place in our heart and memories.

The venue space was beautiful and had so much potential to decorate into your dream space. We kept ours simple with the high ceilings and windows looking out over the marina - you didnt need much else for a perfect backdrop!

We got married at The Bluewater on the 25th of May 2024, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for both our ceremony and reception. The food was absolutely delicious, the setup was stunning, and the staff were nothing short of amazing. But the true standout was Simone, the incredible event manager. From the very beginning, she guided me with so much care and calm — keeping me grounded during the planning and making everything feel effortless. On the big day, she went above and beyond in ways we’ll never forget. I now lovingly call her my fairy godmother, because that’s exactly what she was to us. Thank you Simone, and thank you to the entire Bluewater team, for making our wedding day so magical. We’ll treasure it forever.

I met Jacquie at the Townsville wedding expo in 2021 - little did I know back then she would be my very own fairy godmother on the most magical day of my life. Working with Jacquie was so easy. I felt she listened and understood our reception vibe - simplistic and minimalistic. From gold Tiffany chairs to festoon lighting - it was perfection. Our guests commented on how delicious the food was. For couples needing to accomodate for children we had all 10 nieces and nephews happily and safely playing on the beautiful deck outside. Anxious brides - you can absolutely feel reassured in Jacquie’s hands.
