A Wonderful Experience, Fantastic Venue, and Great Team

We held an Indian wedding ceremony at the GA Aquarium Oceans Ballroom. Joseph and Jada were our main point of contacts and did a phenomenal job organizing and executing the event, and our guests had a great time. We worked with the team about a year out and they were responsive and always willing to answer questions. They had good recommendations for how to utilize the space with our guest count and customize a menu. They helped take a lot of the stress out of planning and worked with us to keep within our budget. The team seemed to express a genuine interest in making our event memorable. The space was beautiful. We used the pre function space for the ceremony, Indian Foyer for the cocktail hour and Arctic Ballroom for the Reception. Having the viewing windows for the Ocean Voyager with the whale sharks and the beluga whales were a highlight for us and our guests and made the experience all the more memorable. The food, a customized Indian buffet, was delicious and tasted fresh and authentic. The day of coordinator made sure the event ran smoothly and the staff was very friendly and professional. We truly appreciate the GA Aquarium team for all of their help in planning our wedding and would recommend them to other couples looking for a unique wedding experience.

Amazing Venue, Fabulous Staff, Magical Wedding Location!!!

The Georgia Aquarium was simply AMAZING, the most incredible wedding reception space of all time, far surpassing all of our dreams. From our very first introductory meeting it was clear that the Georgia Aquarium was the perfect place for our reception. Brittney Manner's knowledge, level of care, and degree of thorough attention to detail continued to impress us at each of our planning sessions. The space is incredible: the beluga tank, whale the shark viewing window, the tour for photos around the rest of the Aquarium... wonderful pictures several of our guests have asked if they are photoshopped they are so incredible! All of our guests loved the venue as well, highly complimenting the tasty food, and loving the amazing sealife surrounding them!
From the time we first arrived at the aquarium the night of the reception, we were greeted by a team of highly competent staff, exceptionally well organized and ready to make it the best night of our lives. Throughout the evening, whenever any concern (however small) arose Brittney and her team were right there to help make sure everything went smoothly. Brittney and her wonderfully dedicated team made our reception the best night of our lives and we are forever grateful! Highly recommend this venue!!!

Howard & Santrella Irving's Wedding Day @ Georgia Aquarium

I do not think we could have picked another location that could compare to the GA Aquarium. The entire Ocean's Ballroom area was breath taking. Our guest were wowed by the Beluga Whales and enjoyed the entire experience. Joseph Gatlin was a joy to work with thru the entire process. The only thing I would change is the length of time we were there - wish the day never ended. Thank you Joseph and the GA Aquarium team for making our day absolutely perfect.
