We had our Wedding here 6-5-16, and it was amazing!!! The whole team was outstanding - Craig Alexander, who we worked with from the beginning always felt like family and any questions we would have he would always address. Jayme who detailed the wedding was excellent and again any questions we had she always addressed. The day of wedding we worked with Carlos who was the captain, Lori who was the maitre d’, and Ashley who was the bridal attendant. They were great and kept the day running smoothly. There was never an empty glass, all 3 came over to us if we needed anything, and the guests were really happy. The day we got married it did rain, however, all of the aqaurium is beautiful, and again, the set up was perfect and on point and it turned out to be better than our original set up had it not rained. I also just wanted to give a special shout out to my bridal attendant Ashley - prior to the ceremony, we took pictures outside where it was very humid, my hair was a mess, she came to the rescue prior to the ceremony, she re-curled my hair, and was able to get the veil on! She also saved us some food and took everything from the bridal sweet to the hotel for us. Ashley went above and beyond for us that day and we will always be greatful for that. All in all if you want something different, yet still the "long island" type wedding, this is the way to go!

We got married here on 12-2-16 and we would have to say that we had an exceptional time and experience. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars across the board was because of a communication issue that we and one of their staff members had. Other than that I would definitely have another event here, people are still talking about our wedding and not ONE person had any complaints. Our ceremony was in the tent and our reception was in the main aquarium, between the tent set up, aquarium and the DJ everyone had an amazing time. We still have people coming up to us telling us they have never been to an event like this and the tanks in the background made it even more spectacular. The price was reasonable! If you want an amazing night to remember......book this venue, you will NOT be disappointed!!!
A class act all the way. Karen the banquet manager is very attentive and organized. Lori the maitrd is a pleasure to work with and knows her job in and out! Food was excellent, way better than most catering venues. Location and decor are perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing. Keep up the great work Atlantis!!! Looking forward to my next event there.
We hosted our 20 year HS reunion here last weekend, and it was seamless and outstanding! Michelle, Caryn, Jayme, Bryan, and the rest of the staff were wonderful. The pressure of planning the perfect event for classmates you haven't seen in 20 years was a little overwhelming, but I didn't have to worry about a single thing during the entire process, and more importantly the evening of the event. I was truly able to enjoy myself. My classmates had a wonderful, memorable evening. This is a night we won't soon forget. This venue has proven to be perfect for all events, not just weddings. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
We held are holiday event there yesterday and everything was amazing! The staff was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful!!!
