Ashley was amazing throughout the whole process! We picked the Clearwater Marine Aquarium for its uniqueness and also to support a local non-profit right in our backyard but Ashley was able to add all the details to make our day special. Her and I met regularly as the planning began and she was always responsive when I had questions. She helped with the recommended vendors and even did email introductions with all of them to make it a smooth process. She coordinated and communicated with the vendors, which included the timeline for the big day to keep everything on track. The day itself was beyond anything I could have imagined, largely in part to Ashley. I gave her my inspo pics and as she coordinated with the vendors, she had a good idea of what we wanted it to look like, and it turned out even better than that! Ashley was a vital part of making the day as stress-free and special as possible and I am so happy we chose her and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Why make the owner of a hotel richer, when your money can be used to aid in the rescue and rehabilitation of marine animals with the possibility of a movie star in some of your photos. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is such a great place to visit and all of the employees are always so nice and friendly. If you haven't watched Dolphin Tale, you should, so you can understand what they do. The venue was very accomodating and the dolphins swimming behind us during the ceremony made a wedding our guests will not forget.

From the moment we contacted the Clearwater Marine Aquarium about hosting our rehearsal dinner there we knew we were in good hands. Ashley answered all of our questions and was available when we had other questions come to mind. From planning months prior, to cleanup the night of the event working with the aquarium was an absolute breeze. All of our guests ranged and raved about how fun and different the night was from traditional rehearsal dinners. We were able to have the event catered (with alcohol). Since the event was after normal business hours the entire aquarium was rented out to our guests. The staff surprised to groom and myself the night of bringing us down into the platform at the dolphin tank. We fed Hope, she gave us “kisses” and waved goodbye. I can’t recommend this experience enough. Thank you to the entire aquarium staff & residents (animals) for hosting all of our friends and family for one of the best nights of our lives!
