Atlantis Banquets & Events/Long Island Aquarium

I completely milked the attention that received! I am giving them such a high ranking because although I was frustrated at the start of the postponement process, which was out of their control, when things began to reopen again and we decided to move forward, they could not have been more understanding and accommodating. They offered us every possible option when we decided to move forward, and any combination from a sit down dinner for 50 people in the ballroom to a cocktail party in the marina. Danny was incredible about making sure that we had anything we needed. The staff the night of was also on top of things the entire time. Again, I cannot say enough nice things about the staff here and how accommodating they were. Elizabeth was my attendant and she was remarkable. Our captain was on top of everything. They made sure that everything ran smoothly for us as well as for our guests. The food was phenomenal. We ended up doing a buffet style dinner instead of our originally planned sit down, and I am so happy we did. Their presentation was great, and everything they did was perfect. I am forever grateful to the great job they did for our special day. They made it even more memorable.

immaculate, well cared for over all great space. Everyone took photos on the balcony! Our guests were in awe of the food and space. We have heard nothing but good feedback. The two bars were a hit, never a long wait. The staff the day of was friendly and made the day perfect. Would highly recommend on all fronts!

he process and went above and beyond each step of the way but also became a family friend who we all feel very lucky to have. Bryan was also a joy to work with as the wedding got closer. He made sure every question was answered and each detail confirmed. When our day finally came, everything went flawlessly. It's been about a month since the wedding and we are still getting compliments from our family and friends saying how kind the staff was, on the beautiful atmosphere and of course the food! We cannot thank Atlantis Banquets and Events enough to help in making our special day so magical. If you are looking for a venue to have your next big event, I highly recommend working with this team to make your dreams a reality!

we were greeted by white glove service and a glass of champagne. The backdrop of the ceremony, held on their lovely outdoor pavilion, was a stunning view of the Peconic river. The aquarium for the cocktail hour was amazing. The service was impeccable and the food was artfully prepared and simply delicious! The backdrop of gorgeous tanks of beautiful fish and exquisite architecture made it a such a unique and memorable evening. The reception space was absolutely gorgeous and the plated dinner, just delicious. From start to finish, everything was done to perfection. It was a most lovely and unforgettable evening.

ouch more expensive but it was absolutely worth it. We had full run of the entire place and did not have to worry about another wedding starting or finishing during ours. The guests at my wedding had a wonderful time and were blown away by the beautiful and unique venue. Everyone told us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, we could not be more pleased. The staff building up to the day were absolutely wonderful. If you are looking to book your wedding at Atlantis Banquets and events ask for Joan. She was such a joy and really worked with us to put together a wonderful wedding. She was patient with me and answered all of my incessant questions and she was truly happy for Me and my husband. Joan feels like part of the family now ( I miss you, girl! ) Even the staff who were not involved with us directly were very helpful and accommodating. Sue and her assistant (?) Alicia worked with us to get the room block were super accommodating and helped me get more rooms added at the last minute. Everyone was so kind to us and friendly they really made us feel like family. The only disappointing part was the behavior of the bridal attendant on the day of my wedding, we were running behind schedule and she was very pushy and unpleasant. She rushed us from the minute she got to my suite all the way through to the reception. This made it very difficult to find moments just enjoy my wedding. Overall, we had a lovely time. The attendants behavior towards us was the only real blemish on the day. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience!

ain I would have it in the aquarium.

I've ever been too.

he bent over backwards to help us at Atlantis banquets and events! the food was incredible here, especially our cocktail hour, And Lori our matre d was wonderful. We truly feel connected to the people who’ve helped us at our special day. AB & E is where it’s at! We used their package which included florist, sh& photographer. Main Street moriches, absolute, and Marco all get an a+! If you’re looking for a unique venue, Atlantis afforded us an incredible wedding with really great service...To be continued...

too. Staff was pretty helpful, especially Cailor! I would reccomend 1000%!

s venue. And of course because it was beautiful. We got numerous comments from the guests about the venue itself, how yummy the food was, and how great the party was. Thank you guys so, so much for making our day fantastic.

use vendors and were very happy. The room looked gorgeous. It was decorated like a winter wonderland which was created by Glenn from Prestige Events. He did an amazing job and was able to create the vision that my daughter and son-in-law had hoped for. The wait staff was amazing and the food was delicious.Marco...from Marco Photography & Video was our photographer and he was excellent!! He knows this venue and did a great job. Kevin was our D.J. from Absolute Entertainment and he did a fabulous job. We were all so pleased with our event and would highly recommend this venue!!

great and everyone had an excellent time. My bridal attendant was an angel. The vendors we worked with were part of the package and were very familiar and comfortable with Atlantis to further the ease of our day. All of our guest agree, the day was perfect.

mply knew what they were doing. They were always available for literally anything we needed or desired. Also, the venue itself was just beautiful inside and out. Their detailing department was also very easy to work with and took everything into consideration that we may have wanted for the wedding. Not to mention, the food was outstanding! Our night was truly magical and we couldn’t have asked for anything else.

ience. I knew going into this that not everything wouldn’t go according to plan & that expectations of "perfection" were far from reality & of course took as many measures as humanly possible in hopes to avoid those most commonly known. However knowing what I know & expectation I hold my myself & my team to as "the bride" I was extremely disappointed & disheartened with how my husband & I were treated on our wedding day. There are several factors that have resulted in my rating. I will only name a few. Instructions were neglected (not placing pens with our scrapbook resulted in no notes from our guests) Bustled my own gown as the BA did not know how & our bridal party had already joined cocktail. Matire 'D & BA were M-I-A leaving our photographers & party to navigate the Aquarium & attempt to manage where to go for our images with the animals it was a lovely little guessing game. Just before the ceremony we walked in circles trying to find where the bridal suite was within the Aquarium as we had never been shown where it was located. Not once did anyone on staff pop their heads in to check if we were okay if we needed anything prior to the ceremony perhaps we left something at the hotel needed hairspray, a bobby pin,or even a DRINK of water?The Atlantis team was so far behind with prepping the reception area that cocktail hour went over by 30 mins which means everything else would now be rushed. (Knowing this is a pitfall of being in the industry)We were 70 mins late before we even started the toast. It’s not as though everything was set up outside & a huge gray cloud came out of nowhere I was advised at NOON everything would be moved & adjusted... (Hmm... we can't be the first wedding ever here... or the first time it’s rained... can we?) I asked the BA "Can I please have a drink!?" That was the first & last I would see all night as not once was the groom or I checked on asked if we were OK or offered another beverage.The 2 bottles of Jameson we paid $66+ per bottle for as it was not included in any of the bar packages, & Atlantis wasn’t flexible with swapping or throwing 1 in for the groom were “gone”. In the event it did exist you'd think you'd see the bottle going down & place it to the side for the groom?No..Just me? Evidently we had a room captain? We met him once at the end of the night when everyone was looking for their envelopes which yes we still gave out undeservingly so even to spite standing within earshot of our bridal attendant speaking to our DJ (good friend & business partner) & hearing her say & I quote "This entire event has been a S#%* Show!" Ahh… Why yes little one it has been... Thank you & your colleagues for that. I will say although the Aquarium was aesthetically magnificent & the remainder of staff was attentive & did an adequate job (Waiter from Table 12 telling our family they were better off getting their own drinks from the bar as you were far too busy I didn't forget about you) I will say our guest had a wonderful time raved about the food & enjoyed a unique wedding venue experience & although the groom & I were not treated in the manner in which we had hoped, our items were returned back to us unwrapped broken & without care, we too had a lovely wedding day.

everything! They were super accommodating to everything I requested. YES, THE FOOD IS GREAT! Unfortunately, for my wedding "Alive on 25" was taking place and they closed down Main St. and I was so worried that my guests would get lost with the detours or arrive late but even then the staff went above and beyond to get my guests to the location and valet park them & everything was on time! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding! THANK YOU ATLANTIS FOR MAKING MY SPECIAL DAY A DREAM COME TRUE!

e had. The day of the wedding we had Lori as our Maitre d and Jamie our bridal attendant. These two were the absolute best and I can’t thank them enough for all they did to make our special day so much better. Thank you Atlantis for making our wedding day the best day of our lives.

nd Zach (captain). I cannot say enough nice things about these people, especially my bridal attendants, who helped me out with every little - and big - thing that happened throughout the day. The aquarium is one of our favorite places, as we had one of our first dates there, so we were very excited to get married there and it did not disappoint! We took photos with Java the sea lion and Pam the penguin - it was a fun part of the day. The food was exceptional - our guests especially loved the grilled cheese station and the mashed potato bar. They've worked to add in a lot of more modern twists for their cocktail hour which we loved. The tiered dessert trays and cordial/espresso bar were a hit. We had our formal reception in the main room of the aquarium and our guests couldn't believe how cool it was; everyone keeps telling us how much they love the venue we chose and said it was one of their favorite weddings they've attended. The venue itself helped to keep things lighthearted and fun throughout the evening.

nt above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect so I did not have to worry about a thing. The aquarium was the perfect venue for our party and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested!

. When it came to the actual day of, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!!! The whole night ran so smooth. We made use of all of the different areas around the aquarium and the staff pulled off all the transitions seamlessly. My bridal attendant was amazing and was constantly looking out for me and anticipating anything that I might need (sometimes before I even realized I needed it). Besides all of that, the venue itself such a beautiful and unique experience. Everyone during the wedding and even for weeks after the wedding kept telling me about how this wedding was the most unique and awesome wedding they’ve ever been to. Overall, my whole experience with the aquarium was magnificent and I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a classy yet very unique experience for their wedding day!

the seastar lobby, cocktail hour in the aquarium, and reception in the seastar ballroom. We had over 200 guests and everyone fit comfortably in every area of the party. Our guests can't stop raving about how cool and different it was to be among all of the fish and animals during cocktail hour! Not only was the ambiance amazing, the food was exceptional! The bacon bar was a hit! The reception was beautiful and the food did not disappoint. My husband and I sampled the steak, pork, and chicken and all were cooked to perfection! Jayme was an outstanding bridal attendant and went above and beyond to make every second of the wedding perfect. If anything did go wrong, my husband and I had no idea! Everyone in the staff was professional and kind and treated not only our families like they were their own, but also all of our guests! We also had an after party where the food was unbelievable as well! The venue is breathtaking and our pictures came out beautiful because of it. Throughout the entire wedding process from the minute we booked the wedding up until the day of, the sales team and catering staff answered all of my questions and gave great advice to make the day special. I would recommend this venue to everyone I know if they are looking for an unforgettable experience for themselves and their guests.

ding. He was always quick to answer an email and willing to show us around on more than one occasion, as my husband's family is from upstate and they were not able to attend our first walk-through. My bridal attendant, Ashley, was amazing. She always knew what I needed 5 minutes before I needed it! My maitre d', Lori, was on top of everything, and kept the whole event moving smoothly. She was wonderful to work with! And last, but not least, my captain, Carlos, was fun and energetic. He even helped my husband and I find a second to eat, which was perfect, because we would have forgotten otherwise! I cannot say enough positive things about this place. I just want to relive my wedding over and over again! I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone who wants to try something a little different for their event! We love you guys, Atlantis Banquets & Events!!!!!!!!!!

beef, and scallops was unimpressive picture this, little meat on kebabs with no vegetables all on a little hot plate. Every one i ate was either warm or cold with absolutely no taste!! Normally i would be going back for seconds and thirds. Instead I was praying I wouldn't throw up! The cold area was adequate. The bartending was excellent! The dinner salads was so small that I finished eating my salad in 2 bites. - main course buffet- the white rice that they served was not cooked. Yes not cooked!! Can you believe this? All the gust complained!! Maybe they thought we were going to throwing it at the Bride and Groom? Chicken was cold no taste and flat like a pancake Salmon- had taste but was very small, warm and overlooked. The short ribs was the only serving that had some taste to it. It was on par with an order at the Olive Garden. The best part of the meal was the ice cream bar. More Guests enjoyed that then the entrees! My advice would be to use this venue for a wedding but make sure you get a professional to cater it.

pt everyone dancing. The flowers & centerpieces from Main street florist were beautiful. Our guests loved walking around inside & out around the venue. We had such a wonderful night.
