Highly Recommend This Venue!
If you're looking for a unique wedding venue in the Philadelphia/Camden area, I highly recommend checking out Adventure Aquarium! We enjoyed working with Megan throughout the planning process. She was patient with us and our many questions throuhgout the process. She was also flexible when we had to make changes to our seating chart the weekend before our wedding. We loved that the venue was able to accommodate our guests' various dietary restrictions. The venue had a wide variety of options to choose from for entrees, appetizers, and desserts. The day itself went off without a hitch and we loved seeing our vision come to life! The food was amazing, especially the roasted acorn squash! Our bridal attendant, Darlene, was so helpful. She made sure that we had what we needed throughout the whole night, including making sure that the two of us were able to eat during the cocktail hour and the reception. We were so thankful for her help throughout the whole event. The biggest highlights of the night were having our first look in the shark tunnel and the cocktail hour penguin! Our guests seemed like they had just as much fun as we did.
Stunning views inside and out,
I'm an event planner and have hosted several client events at the aquarium. The staff is amazing to work with. Cassandra, Peter and their team go above and beyond to accommodate my clients' requests no matter how unique. In addition to the stunning aquarium backdrop the views of Philadelphia can't be beat. All this and surprisingly delicious food! One of my favorite venues.
Elegant Aquarium Wedding
The wedding coordinator, Terry was great with responding to my emails quickly. I never was left with a question unanswered. I’m so grateful for how easy she made the whole process. The planning and day of we’re seamless and beautiful.
