    Best. Venue. Ever!

    Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined, and more. Atlantis was a pleasure to work with, communicated promptly and effectively. They are super flexible with planning and were always willing to answer any questions and help however they could. We absolutely loved working with Joan and Bryan to help our vision come to life. Scott was our captain the day of and he absolutely killed it, everything ran so smoothly (at least as far as we could tell)! We had a REALLY big wedding, and Scott and the rest of his team were able to coordinate the timing down to the minute, and stick to it! Shout out to Liz, the best bridal attendant ever- we always had a full glass, food in front of us, and she was willing to do anything we asked. The food, both during cocktail hour, and the plated entrees were to DIE for. We are still having people reach out weeks after telling us how great the food was, and how great the bartenders, and wait staff were at each table. We are soooo grateful for all of the time and energy that Atlantis Banquets and Events put into our special day. Can't recommend this venue enough!

    Atlantis Banquets & Events's reply:

    Thank you Molly & Dylan for the wonderful review! Our staff takes pride in creating the best wedding day possible for our couples. We will certainly pass along your comments to our staff. We wish you a long and happy marriage!

    A complete and total fairytale!!!

    I had my fairytale dream wedding here. I was a Covid bride who had to postpone and it was 10000% worth the wait. It was so magical and so much better than I could have ever imagined. I could not be happier with my experience as an Aquarium bride. My guests will be raving for years to come. Craig was so friendly from the start and we felt he genuinely had our best interest at heart. Dan the owner was absolutely incredible. Him and my dad became besties at the Seaside grill the night before my wedding. Bryan our details coordinator was great. My bridal attendant was an absolute gem and so helpful through the whole day. My captain was great too. Even the servers said congratulations and kind words to me. Staff was on point! Suzanne at the Hyatt was very accommodating and helpful. Having a room block connected was so great as I had a ton of out of town guests coming from Rhode Island. The hotel indoor pool, outdoor pool, a gym, breakfast til 11!!!! I had breakfast with my guests both mornings which was so fun and it was so nice not to have to plan a brunch for out of towners. The staff was sweet and helpful. They even asked how everything went the next day. Where do I even begin? My guests were greeted with strawberries and champagne, led out to the pavilion for a beautiful sunset ceremony, then our cocktail hour was an awesome indoor outdoor near the koi pond. The food was incredible and I highly recommend adding the seafood boat. We did photos before the ceremony which was great so we could enjoy the cocktail hour. They even made sure we got a little plate with h’orderves which was thoughtful. We also had champagne and wine in the bridal suite. Walking through the Aquarium just before closing I felt like a literal Disney princess with all their patrons young and old stopping to say how beautiful I looked. They made everything so easy to plan and I kept thinking I was forgetting something because it was such a stress free experience. I got to take photos with the Penguin and the Sea Lion as an add on. Soooo magical. We did the buffet and it was amazing!!!! The food was so good. We had a band, Dj, and a photo booth. They put out our centerpieces and votives and the shark room looked stunning. Our tables were next to the exhibits which was so cool! We added on the ice cream bar which I highly suggest. My guests loved it! We had so much fun. Truly a perfect evening. We ended up at the Seaside bar at the hotel after the reception for an after party. There was another bar inside too. The staff was so great! If I could do it all again I would in a heartbeat. The bakery they used for the cake was rolling pin. They order it for you which makes it so easy. It looked pretty and was actually delicious! We did cannoli cream. I will also say that being a bride during Covid was stressful but they made rescheduling so seamless and easy. No wild fees or anything. They really care about their brides. You could have your wedding at a regular venue our you could have your wedding at a venue that’s truly unforgettable. Look no further!!!! Have your wedding here, you will not regret it!!!
