Setting the Scene: Underwater Elegance or Penguin Party?
The Aquarium offers a variety of unforgettable spaces to tie the knot. Imagine exchanging vows beneath the awe-inspiring giant ocean tank, with sharks and rays gliding serenely behind you (hopefully not photobombing the ceremony!).
Perhaps a more intimate gathering is your style? The West Wing Gallery boasts the largest shark and ray touch tank on the East Coast. Now that's a conversation starter for your reception! Outdoor options with stunning harbor views are also available, perfect for those yearning for a touch of salty air with their "I dos."
Don't worry, aquatic phobia won't be a problem for your guests. The Aquarium is meticulously maintained, and the fishy ambiance adds a touch of whimsy, not a fishy odor.
Reception Revelry: Dancing with the Fishes (Figuratively)
After you've sealed the deal, it's party time! The Aquarium's in-house catering offers delicious ocean-friendly cuisine (think sustainable seafood and locally sourced ingredients), so you can feel good about your menu choices while your guests indulge.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Imagine the photo ops! Guests snapping selfies with penguins (just don't try to photobomb their nap time), cutting the cake under a dazzling display of tropical fish, or slow dancing with the Boston skyline as your backdrop.
Warning: There's a chance your wedding might be mistaken for a really fancy feeding time by the resident sea creatures. But hey, that just adds to the quirky charm of the whole thing!
The Nitty-Gritty: Making Your Aquatic Dream a Reality
Yes, you can absolutely get married at the Boston Aquarium! Their experienced event staff will work with you to create a customized wedding package that fits your vision and budget.
Here's a heads up: This isn't your average wedding venue. There might be some special considerations. For example, you'll likely need to work around the Aquarium's regular hours and noise restrictions might apply (you don't want to drown out the happy chirps of the penguins, do you?).
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
But hey, a little planning goes a long way, and the end result will be a wedding unlike any other.
So, are you ready to take the plunge (metaphorically, not literally) and get married amongst the marine life?
