Amazing aquarium wedding!
A magnificent experience!
The event was magnificent and far exceeded our expectations. The cocktail hour was extremely bountiful and beautifully displayed. Picture perfect. The items were restocked as fast as they were consumed. There were an astonishing amount of selections to choose from. All made to perfection and all delicious. The choice of five dinner entrees was impressive. According to the guests and ourselves, all were flavorful and generous dishes prepared as requested. The desserts and cordial bar were enjoyed by all. The entire staff was courteous and professional and kept a steady flow of the event.
The grand ballroom itself is a beautiful venue that overlooks the Peconic River and is conveniently situated between the Hyatt Hotel and the Long Island Aquarium. All part of the Atlantis complex. It was a pleasant and cozy experience to gather together for the free buffet breakfast with our guests who stayed overnight at the Hyatt. Some opted to visit the Aquarium to add to their weekend festivities.
All the vendors suggested by Atlantis were professionals and each proficient in their craft. The lighting was dazzling. The floral displays were stunning. The DJ and MC were very energetic and kept the party fun-filled and lively. The music was perfectly balanced for all ages. Photographers Mike and Joe were patient and courteous. We found that their vibrant personalities added to the entertainment.
All this perfection would not have been possible without the incredible patience and professionalism of our Sales Manager Joan LaRosa.
Joan spent a full year responding to our every question and replying to our many emails. Offering suggestions and improving on our own.
All the time with genuine and concern to create a couple’s dream come true. We could not thank her enough. We are all still in the afterglow of the Atlantis experience and wish the same for those who are lucky enough to choose the same.
Magical Wedding at the Seastar Ballroom
Exceptional Venue for an Unforgettable Experience
My husband and I worked with Joan and Bryan in the months leading up to the big day, and they were wonderful. Their professionalism and amiability put me at ease, and I can honestly say — as the bride — I was never all that stressed during the planning process.
I'd also like to give a shout-out to all the staff members who worked our wedding the night-of. My bridal assistant was fantastic, always checking in and asking if my husband or I needed anything. She even got us some extra entrees to take back to the hotel room. Also, towards the end of the night, I noticed my pearl bracelet (an old family heirloom) had broken. My bridesmaids worked with some staff to search the floor, and we ended up finding 5/6 of the missing pearls!
The care and conscientiousness of each and every staff member did not go unnoticed, and I definitely recommend Atlantis to anyone getting married on Long Island.
Many guests came up to my husband and I to compliment Atlantis as well — in terms of the pure uniqueness of the venue, how delicious the food was, and how great the staff members were.
Thanks to this venue and its very caring staff, my husband and I had a truly wonderful and unforgettable wedding.
