Seymour Marine Discovery Center is a unique and breathtaking wedding venue in Santa Cruz, California. Couples and their loved ones can enjoy the ocean view as they bask in the marine sanctuary's beauty, surrounded by rare native plants. The tranquil setting by the ocean has been the home to numerous stunning wedding receptions and ceremonies over the years.
Facilities and Capacity
Swapping vows and saying "I do" while feeling the ocean mist on your face in front of loved ones is the perfect way to start the festivities. With the sound of the surf lapping the shore, you can tie the knot against a background of natural beauty. Sharing a cocktail hour toast with close friends and family will shake away all those wedding day nerves before stepping inside the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. The fully customizable location can comfortably accommodate up to 140 guests for an unforgettable night of wining and dining. Two outside blufftop terraces offer magnificent views of Monterey Bay as the sun begins to set. However, the party is only getting started as a DJ or band takes to the stage to play the night away.
Services Offered
Couples and their guests will have free access to the Seymour Center, Discovery Center, and aquarium on the big day. The Seymour Marine Discovery Center allows clients to bring their own vendors, meaning they can arrange their favored florists, musicians, and decorators to personalize the celebration. Ample parking for 140 people is provided on the grounds at Seymour Marine Discovery Center so guests can party all day, knowing their property is nearby, accessible, and safe.
