Everything was fantastic. We had compliments from guests for weeks after the wedding. The entire wedding ran smoothly, I was never bothered by the event staff, they hand eked everything. I couldn't have had a better time!
It was a unique venue. Everyone of my guests had a great time, as did we. I heard the food was great but my husband and I did not get a chance to eat anything. There were a couple small things that went wrong but I believe that true for every wedding. Overall great place.
Atlantis was the perfect place to have our wedding. All of our guests went out of their way to tell us how amazing it was and that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Nothing fell short of our expectations. I could not have asked for a better day!
