The Best Ceremony & Reception Spaces

A Georgia Aquarium wedding allows you to exchange vows and celebrate in some of the most breathtaking spaces in the city. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate or grand affair, here are the top spaces to consider:

Ocean Voyager Exhibit

Say “I do” in front of the massive viewing window into the Ocean Voyager habitat, home to whale sharks, manta rays, and thousands of marine creatures swimming gracefully behind you. This awe-inspiring backdrop creates unforgettable wedding photos and a magical ambiance for your vows.

Oceans Ballroom

Perfect for receptions, the Oceans Ballroom is a grand and customizable space that can accommodate both large and intimate gatherings. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant décor, and access to breathtaking exhibits, this ballroom creates a sophisticated yet unique wedding experience. It can also be divided into the Arctic, Pacific, or Atlantic ballrooms to suit smaller events.

For a romantic and intimate setting, the Arctic Ballroom offers a private view of the beluga whale exhibit, creating a serene and dreamy atmosphere. Imagine exchanging vows with these graceful creatures swimming just behind you!
