- Prepare to be wowed by the undersea world that awaits you and your guests. Against a backdrop of ethereal lighting and thousands of marine life swimming in the gigantic, floor-to-ceiling tanks surrounding you, your ceremony and reception take on a magical, dream-like atmosphere.
- Create a chic lounge in front of a coral reef habitat in the soaring Atrium. Options abound here, including in their menus, which feature tropical flavors, local favorites, and international specialties.
- Their acclaimed Rooftop Terrace boasts sweeping views of Harbor Island, Garrison Channel, and the Channel District, with an array of open-air venues and elegant ballrooms. And you'll be happy to know that whichever site you choose, proceeds from your event support education and conservation efforts.
