Our wedding at Atlantis was exceptional! The food was excellent, the price per plate was very reasonable, the atmosphere was spectacular. It's been nearly a month and our guests are still talking about it to their friends, apparently it was the wedding of the year and that's due in large part to the efforts and service by the Atlantis staff. I had to give 3 stars on Professionalism only because we had a conflict the night before the wedding, we were scheduled for our rehearsal but they booked another event and we got shafted. However they did make the venue available to us earlier on our wedding day so we could rehearse then, so they did there best to fix everything as well as they could. I would definitely recommend Atlantis to anyone looking for something more than your typical catering hall, this was truly the experience of a lifetime for us and our guests, and that's thanks to the staff at Atlantis.

We had a wonderful wedding, my family and friends absolutely loved it and had a great time. The only three things that were not perfect was we were unable to bring our own beer in or it was a ridiculous amount of money to do so, we were unsure how to start the event ( took a bit for someone to direct us where to go) however was incredibly wonderful after that. Adrienne was fantastic and was so helpful ( our bridal attendant) and one of the tables escort cards were not put out right away. These were very small things that occurred and besides that the event was amazing, and unique in which all of the guests will talk about for awhile. I can't imagine getting married anywhere else!!!! Thank you Adrienne, Lori, Craig and Jayme. Also to the mysterious captain in the back lol.
Awesome venue great location everything went perfect
My wedding was everything I wanted and more! I didn't look at any other venues besides Atlantis. I knew I wanted something different and unique but still elegant and that's exactly what I got with Atlantis. We had our wedding reception in the actual aquarium it's self and all my guests can't stop raving about it. Everyone said the food was amazing and the service across the board was awesome. Patti and Jayme were great, they listened to everything I asked for and was super accommodating. I wish I could do it all over again, I absolutely loved my wedding!! Seriously if you're thinking about the aquarium just do it you wont be disappointed!!
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!
