Magical Evening

I seldom write reviews, but I really need to share how wonderful the Aquarium was for our son’s rehearsal dinner. Really—the bride and her family kept referring to the evening as “magical”. And it was. The dinner was held at the indoor exhibit gallery with literally thousands of colorful and amazing fish: tangs, pufferfish, sharks, rays, the giant octopus, not to mention the very special beluga whales! The gallery was beautiful with soft lighting, round tables with white chairs, light blue and white table linens, and room for the guests to walk around and mingle. And, the food was great--we chose chicken Florentine, prime rib, smashed red potatoes, asparagus, and fresh strawberry shortcake. In addition, the Aquarium assisted with showing a slideshow that we had prepared for the bride and groom. In summary, the event was beautiful, but it was beautiful because Danielle, the catering manager for the Aquarium, made it happen. I really cannot say enough about how important and helpful she was--always responsive, patient, and professional. Throughout the planning of the event, she gave advice and made suggestions about the menu, table decorations, the slide show, table linens, and more, all of which were helpful, all of which I followed. Thank you, Danielle!

A Beautiful Venue

Got married here May 3rd. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. The only critiques I have are of the cement in front of the beluga tank. There was many a hole for my heels to slip into. Luckily I didn’t fall at all. But it was crazy to navigate haha. Otherwise, Juno was the star of the wedding ceremony and I cannot complain about that whatsoever. The reception was gorgeous set up on the main aquarium floor. Surrounded by fish and jellies and turtles, it was amazing.
