Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Dynamic waterfront vistas and amazing aquatic creatures make this downtown venue a brilliant choice for a wedding. Picture-perfect backdrops include the Charleston Harbor, exciting exhibits, and colorful marine life.
- Say "I do" overlooking the Harbor...then segue to the seascape galleries for a one-of-a-kind dining experience beside the Great Ocean Tank where you're surrounded by fish and ocean flora.
- Make waves with unique animal encounters for your guests, like touching a manta ray or having divers offer a personalized greeting from inside the 385,000-gallon tank.
