The Georgia Aquarium is a magical venue that served as the perfect setting for our special night! We started researching venues in late May of 2023 and fell in love with the setting. To our surprise, there was some availability for a Saturday in August, so we quickly worked with Darby and Juliette to secure the date and they got to work in helping us plan the event in just over two months. The setting is one of a kind, but their partnership with Wolfgang Puck brings professional event staff who know how to pull off successful events of all sizes. We saw the pictures on the Aquarium's web site and quickly assumed that it would be out of our price range, but found instead that the costs were reasonable and transparent – they have multiple spaces that can accommodate weddings from small to large and they had flexible options on food that allowed us to keep the celebration within our budget. The food was also incredible - we got multiple compliments on the food afterward (though admittedly we were too busy to enjoy it as much as our guests did!). Note that you'll need to use their catering company, Wolfgang Puck, but their food is top notch – it's not aquarium cafeteria food by any means! The setting is, of course, beautiful. Our cocktail hour featured the whale shark tank, and our reception took place in front of the Beluga tank. There were volunteers from the Aquarium present the whole evening to answer questions about the animals and their habitats – a great way to emphasize that the animals were more than just a backdrop for our photos and to help our guests get a feel for what the aquarium had in store if they hadn't seen it before. All the staff was flexible and knowledgeable and helped us pull off a herculean task of planning the night of our lives in just 2 months. It was a perfect, magical night, and we can't recommend the Aquarium/ Wolfgang Puck enough!

I cannot say express enough thanks to Joseph my coordinator at this venue and the venue itself for everything!! Our wedding was so perfect and amazing. Joseph is honestly the best to work with- he is so attentive, had great advice, and really helped make our day so wonderful. The food and cake was AMAZING!! We had filet and chicken with the BEST scalloped potatoes. Our chocolate desert we had in addition to our wedding cake was also fantastic! Obviously the views were amazing as well into the beluga and ocean voyager tank and everyone loved them! They had the nicest most informed people around the tanks as well during the reception and loved talking to us and guest about the animals too!! Also, the Bartenders set up by the event were wonderful. They helped set up mixed shots from out ice sculpture which was an added last minute hit with the guests! Honestly if this is your dream, like mine, you cannot ask for a better more perfect place. Thank you so much Georgia Aquarium!

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!!!

This venue is magical and amazing. Brittney and her team are amazing to work with. Wolfgang Puck catering is simply delicious. The combination of both of these gave us an amazing, stress free wedding and reception. I cannot say enough good and positive things about this selection. I highly recommend choosing them for your venue.

Joseph and his team at the aquarium are amazing. We got so many compliments about how our wedding was the best wedding our guests have ever been to! The ballrooms are stunning, and your guests will love seeing the whale sharks/belugas. They accommodated every request I had and were very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this venue!

Georgia Aquarium made our day very special. I couldn't have chosen a better venue for my reception. The food catered by Wolf Gang Puck was WONDERFUL. The staff at the aquarium made sure the reception went smoothly.

Did you know that It is actually resonably priced to rent a room at the aquarium! Just read the fine print. You have to use their caterer, Wolfgang Puck, which has a minimun price of over $10,000! and that doesnt include the room

Cant say more wonderful things about my wedding at the aquarium. The service and food was AMAZING, Joe (the catering and events manager) was extremely helpful. All the guests LOVED seeing both the huge tanks in the reception room. Everything went flawlessly. THANK YOU!!!
