Unique venue, great service. Overall a great time.

I had the pleasure of working with Joan, at the early stages of my wedding planning. I also worked with Bryan as the wedding grew closer. My husband and I got married on wedding there on August 13, 2023. From the moment that we saw the venue we knew that this was the place where we wanted to have our wedding. We both love sea life, the place was so unique to host a wedding there. Atlantis Baquents and events also has a traditional ball room as well, however we wanted to have our reception inside the aquarium. We got married outside on the riverside pavilion. Although it was an hot day it was manageable. The cocktail hour was set up around the koi pond as well as inside the Riverfront room. My captain and Bridal attendant where just wonderful. They made sure my wedding day went smoothly, and where there when ever I needed them. It was a hot day and the captain and Bridal attendant made sure to pass out water to all of the bridal party during the photo session. The Food was excellent, we did a taco station for cocktail hour and it was so good. For dinner we did the buffet so everyone had a option to choose what they liked. Seeing the table set up and the atmosphere was amazing. All of our guests had a great time.
