We got married on 9/15/18 in Coral Bay Ballroom. We did the ceremony and reception in the same room with seating at the rounds. Everyone at the Mermaid did such a great job. Responses were timely (I emailed A LOT) no matter how far away or soon the wedding was. Everyone loved the food and our guests loved that there was the ceremony, reception, hotel, bowling alley, bar, and swimming pool all at the same location. It made things so easy! We had our rehearsal in the room the night before and got free bowling with our rehearsal dinner. If your looking for an elegant wedding at an affordable price you won't be disappointed! Our pictures turned out wonderful and our guests loved being able to eat appetizers right after we said I Do :) My wedding was a dream come true and I am so happy I chose to have it at the Mermaid.

We had a very positive experience for our son's wedding. It was so nice having everything under one roof! It enabled us to have more quality family and friend time. The Americinn was an excellent accommodation for all our guests and so convenient. Natallia very helpful and quick to respond. The Chef went out of his way to assure we had the meal we wanted. The rehearsal and reception plated dinners were delicious and attractive. Kim, was very attentive to our needs. Making sure we and our guests were cared for. Checking in with us through out both evenings, making sure our event was memorable. The servers were friendly, timely, and accommodating. Thank you all! K&J Has

I checked around at many venues and Mermaid was the best! They have everything available in sight! Ceremony and reception as well as catering and DJ and decorating and cake info that is so affordable. Conveniently connected to AmericInn for guests and family!

I would highly recommend this to any newly engaged couples. Having our rehearsal, ceremony, reception & hotel accommodations all right there was so convenient not only for us, but especially for our bridal party & guests. Carol was always quick to respond to any questions we have. The food was delicious! Our guest count was around 260 & the price was well within our budget and they make it very simple for you as well. We had our rental fees, food, desert (cheesecake from Muddy Paws), liquor & DJ all within one bill so it made it easier to pay rather than paying several different vendors.

I can not tell her and her staff enough how happy I was with the look of the place the food and the staff who served our family.

At least once a year former co-workers from the Ford TCAP maintenance dept. get together at the Mermaid and reconnect and reminisce. Carol does a great job of organizing our group, we always have the same outstanding server ( Higgins ), and everyone enjoys the great food, drinks and atmosphere. It is a great venue in a convenient location. We have been going there for 5 years and will continue to go and enjoy the superb service.

Our daughter and her husband had their wedding ceremony/reception and groom's dinner at the Mermaid Event Center. Everything was wonderful for both events. Carol Aune and her staff were amazing and so easy to work with. Carol helped out with suggestions and was always available to answer questions. We have had a number of compliments on how beautiful everything was and it all went off without a "hitch". The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The transition from ceremony to reception went seamlessly and Carol's team took care of setting up everything - from center pieces to aisle décor. We would definitely recommend the Mermaid for wedding or any event!

I can not wait for my wedding to take place here. Natallia had been nothing but wonderful to work with. She is very accommodating and reply's back within a short amount of time. I originally booked the Atlanta's ballroom but later decided that I would be happier in the Coral Bay Room. I had a bit of a panic attack and emailed her in the hopes that I could switch rooms. She reassured me that everything will work out and was very quick to switch the rooms for me without any additional fees. I have walked through the venue several times and love everything this venue has to offer. The packages are very well priced and I feel that you get the most bang for your buck! My fiance and I love bowling and loved the idea of having the rehearsal dinner at the same location since they offer free bowling during this time.

The Mermaid was the perfect place for us for our wedding venue. We held out reception in the Coral Bay ball room and it was amazing. We were very well informed of everything throughout the process. Natalia was very accommodating and answered all of my questions. The staff was very friendly and quick. The only complaint we had was the food was cold. I understand serving 250 that is very likely to happen. It was still very good! The staff was great about informing my dad and my father in-law about where we were on the kegs and if we wanted to tap a new one.
I would highly recommend the Mermaid for a reception hall. You can't beat their price and value!
