Florida Aquarium
First off our guest loved the private ability to explore the Aqurium during cocktail our with a champagne glass in hand! We loved the backdrop of the tank during our ceremony and having our reception at the rooftop with the water and city views of Tampa!
Kimberly our event coordinator at the aquarium was the absolute best! Constantly stayed in communication with us throughout all the planning and went above and beyond! From helping with decorations to making sure we had food and drinks! All other staff was beyond helpful as well. For example, if a staff member noticed our drinks were empty they did not hesitate to quickly grab it for us! We also enjoy our private tasting with them!
I’ve attached photos here and our photographer was feedlebee photography!

Excellent venue with equally excellent scenery. Offering customized service to each of their couples. A pleasure to work with such committed professionals.
This is the place that took "taking a photo with a penguin" of our bucket list! You want a location for your wedding that you will NEVER forget? This is it! Never have we been so awestruck at a wedding reception... the staff is always great and the scenery is ALWAYS changing! Did I mention there's penguins? :)
