We had the most amazing wedding. We hosted our wedding and reception at the aquarium. Keely was wonderful about making our requests happen. The guests loved being able to watch the sharks swim by during the ceremony and being able to play in the touch tank during the reception. We had a fantastic time.
Fun and spacious venue. Very little decor needed since this place was already beautiful by itself with it's pretty and colorful fish tanks. The special events coordinator was easy to work with and made our planning process so much easier. (Bonus- the aquarium rents out tables, chairs, and linens and does the set-up and breakdown, which made our day even less stressful.) We highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event!
If your thinking about where to have your wedding the aquarium at ft.fisher is an enchanting place to have it. The aquatic life really adds something to it. I had my reception in the exotic aquatics section and it was beautiful. Keely is the event planner I worked with and she was really helpful. The aquarium is also suprisingly affordable so it wont take up your whole budget :-)
