Located on the waterfront in Redondo Beach, Bluewater Grill is the perfect location for your wedding festivities. Our private rooms have beautiful harbor views and we would love to help you plan your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception.

Let’s start with the venue: Perfect space for 90-105 people. Roughly 9-10 tables of 10 people would occupy the space nicely. Entrance area has a nice space for your foyer table and a Photo Booth. Make sure your photo booth brings their own hotspot just Incase the WiFi is not up to their standards. The location is perfect in Redondo Beach. The actual venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and has a very nice view of the marina. The venue is well lit and the bar is situated nicely where your guest can mingle and have a drink without interrupting the flow of the room. The venue also came with our cake from Torrance bakery which was extremely delicious. The food: The food choices are amazing. Vida sat down with us and helped us cherry pick the meals we wanted to serve. The plates courses were too good to be true and the food was of the best quality and flavor. Highly recommend. The Coordinator: Vida was simply phenomenal at what she did. She made great recommendations and the day of made sure things were executed to my wife and I’s liking. Vida alone is enough to sell this venue for me. I can’t thank her enough. If you’re thinking about this venue for your event or wedding, stop by Vida’s office for a casual meet and greet and find out why this place is the perfect booking.
