I cannot share enough great things about having my wedding at Adventure Aquarium. It was an all-around great experience from planning all the way through to the actual event.

The event coordinator, Terry, is very communicative and accommodating. She was detail oriented and never made me feel like my questions or requests were a burden.

The venue itself is FABULOUS. Being able to add things like touch-a-stingray or meeting a penguin to the cocktail hour truly made this wedding one of a kind for the guests. Not only that, but the Currents Ballroom event room is incredibly gorgeous. Your guests will likely not know what to expect when they find out your wedding is at an aquarium. They will expect fish and fun but when they walk into that ballroom they will be stunned with how gorgeous and elegant it is.

The AAQ has their own in-house food provider with Aramark. Oh my word - the food was delicious. Our tasting was such a great time and I was blown away by how yummy everything was - even things I normally wouldn't eat. We wound up paying extra for a fourth option because everything was just so good. They have a signature cocktail called the Shark Bite which is also just perfect for any wedding. A wedding cake, provided by Sunflour Bakery, is also included in their package and the cake at Sunflour is super delicious as well.

The staff on the night of was fabulous! Our bridal assistant, Darlene, was a super woman! She kept an eye on my husband and I all night and helped with everything from keeping an eye on my elderly father, to making sure we had food from cocktail hour, to even providing us with Adventure Aquarium tumblers when my husband said he wanted a cold soda in the biggest cup they had! The servers and bartenders were personable and attentive.

I always wanted to get married at the Aquarium and I am happy to say that the night was a dream - exactly the way I envisioned it. It was worth every penny spent and aside from having the night of your life, you will be giving your guests an experience they too will never forget!

Beautiful space, incredible staff, DELICIOUS food - I cannot recommend enough hosting your wedding at Adventure Aquarium!! Every step of the planning process was a wonderful experience, and Megan Aldrich and her team are FANTASTIC and such a joy to work with!!

Our wedding was on April 13, 2024 with about 130 guests, and Currents Ballroom was the PERFECT space! The room is stunning and so elegant, and our wedding guests were all so surprised and in awe of the floor-to-ceiling height shark/underwater view. Upon meeting Megan and seeing the venue for the first time, we knew immediately that this was going to be the venue for us (we also proceeded to cancel all of our other venue visits and book right away)! Being able to add the "Meet a Penguin" was such a fun and memorable opportunity that made our wedding extra fun for our guests (and for us!!). Our guests didn't know what to expect with an aquarium wedding venue, but were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the space was, and had so much fun taking pictures against the underwater backdrop.

Even more importantly than the stunning space - I cannot rave enough about what a joy it was to work with Megan and her team!!! From day one, Megan was very communicative and accommodating with helping us make our wedding vision come true. The private food tasting experience was so much fun, and Megan helped us so much with thinking through some of the day-of details during our food tasting. Leading up to the day of our wedding, Megan also handled coordinating with all of the vendors we had booked regarding set up/tear down, and other day of details. She and her team were also FANTASTIC on the day of our wedding as well!!! The night ran so smoothly and the set up/transition of the space from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception was absolutely flawless. The staff truly went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces were decorated beautifully, and we are extremely grateful for all that they did to make our day so perfect. The team is extremely detail-oriented, accommodating, and kind. The bridal attendant Darlene was also so wonderful and made sure that my husband and I always had food and drinks!

THE FOOD: The in-house food provider for Adventure Aquarium (Aramark) truly knocked it out of the park!!! We were so excited about how delicious everything was at the food tasting, and the food was equally delicious the day of our wedding as well! We opted to go with the buffet-style dinner and ended up choosing to pay a little bit extra to add a 4th entree because everything tasted so good!! The open bar was also fantastic - staff were super friendly and attentive. For the bar we were able to customize a signature drink, and they also did not skimp on the champagne toast provided! A wedding cake provided by Sunflour Bakery was also included in our package and the cake was SO delicious our guests didn't leave a single piece leftover!

We are incredibly grateful to Megan and her team for helping us make our wedding day so special and so memorable. Everything was exactly as we envisioned it and we had the absolute most perfect wedding day at Adventure Aquarium. Our guests kept raving to us that this was one of the most memorable weddings they had been to and that the food, drinks, and event space were amazing! We HIGHLY, highly recommend booking your wedding here for an experience that you and your guests will never forget!
