Meet Anna Biad, Property owner
Anna Biad
Welcome to Blue Door Venue – Where Timeless Charm Meets Unforgettable Celebrations!
In 2018, Anna and Chris Biad purchased what is now Blue Door Venue with a different vision in mind—the expansion of Mission Academy (formerly Acton Academy), a non-profit K-9th grade school dedicated to innovative education. What started as a passion project to support scholarships and school growth quickly blossomed into something extraordinary—a breathtaking event space that now hosts some of the most elegant weddings and special occasions in the region.
Anna’s eye for design transformed the property into a stunning Spanish-style estate, blending authentic Italian tile, handcrafted wood details, charming lighting, and a Cantera stone water feature imported from Mexico. The result? A venue that radiates warmth, character, and an undeniable WOW factor.
At the heart of our space is the iconic Blue Door, a beloved local landmark that Anna was determined to preserve. For years, visitors have captured special moments in front of these vibrant doors—now, they serve as the perfect backdrop for your most cherished celebrations.
Today, Blue Door Venue is a premier destination for weddings, corporate events, and intimate gatherings. And the best part? A portion of our earnings continues to support Mission Academy, making every event a celebration with purpose.
We invite you to step through the Blue Door and experience the magic for yourself—where history, elegance, and heartfelt moments come together in perfect harmony!
