Reviews of Seattle Aquarium
Amazing Wedding Experience at the Seattle Aquarium
Day of things went perfectly. We had a coordinator who worked with Philadelphia to help things run smoothly. The catering staff was great and efficient and the venue worked out, and looked, fantastic. The otter feeding and happy hour were highlights.
All in all we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this venue to other couples!
Professional and accomodating
Chelsea was our amazing aquarium wedding coordinator / sales director. She took care of us from start to finish and found solutions to some of our special requests (e.g. large paella pans for the paella station). She was super easy to work with and made us feel like everything was under control the entire time even though there were many moving parts. The aquarium itself was beautiful. We had our ceremony outside in the back pier with perfect views of the sound and olympic mountains. The cocktail hour was in the touch tank area and the reception was in the main hall with the huge sound tank as the backdrop. The entire aquarium was open for our guests.
The food, especially the tenderloin and summer corn puree, were delicious. Compliments to the chef.
The day can be best summed up by one of our little nephews that declared "Today was the BEST DAY EVER!"
We would gladly recommend other couples check out the aquarium for their special day!
