A magnificent experience!

Our daughter and son-in-law were married and had their reception at Atlantis Banquets and Events’ Sea Star Ballroom in Riverhead, NY.
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.

Enchanting Aquarium Wedding

From our initial tour of the venue, we knew that Atlantis Banquets and Events was where we wanted to have our wedding. If you are looking for an incredibly unique experience, this is it: The venue overlooks the water so guests were able to watch the sunset over the water during cocktail hour, and then, everyone moved inside to the Long Island Aquarium where they were able to dance and dine amongst the fish tanks. The aquarium transformed that evening into what felt like an enchanting underwater forest. Atlantis has an in-house caterer, and the food was exquisite. We received comments from guests who are notoriously picky eaters, and they said this was the first wedding where they’ve been able to eat (and enjoy) the food! There was a huge team working the evening of our wedding, and they kept everything running smoothly. The staff were all incredibly professional and kind throughout the night. We worked with Joan and Bryan throughout the planning process, and they were absolutely wonderful. They were responsive, detailed, and helpful throughout the year as we planned and finalized event details. They also helped us coordinate our after party AND our hotel block (both within a few steps of the venue). I truly think Atlantis Banquets and Events, and the Long Island Aquarium, is a hidden gem of event venues on Long Island. The location is stunning and conveniently located in downtown Riverhead, the venue is so unique and beautiful, the food is delicious, and the staff is wonderful. Take a tour of the venue – You won’t regret it!
