FAQs Regarding Weddings and Events
q. Do you offer packages for weddings, corporate events and private parties?
a. Marineland has partnered with a caterer of exceptional quality and together we have created wedding packages specifically designed to offer every service you might wish to include for your special occasion. Our goal is to create what you envision and to make the planning process easier than you ever could have imagined. Custom packages are available upon request.
q. Is there indoor space available for my event?
a. While we do not have indoor event space available at this time, we do have an outdoor event area with protection from the elements for your use. It consists of 4,800 sq. feet of space with a hard-packed surface, lighting, and four sides which may be on or off as needed.
q. What time may we hold the event?
a. The Dolphin Conservation Center is open to the public from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. daily. Therefore, the dolphin habitat is available to you from 4:30 P.M. until 10:00 P.M., and the outdoor event area from 4:30 P.M. until 11:00 P.M.. Set up may begin at 3:00 in the habitat area and as early as 2:00 in the tented event area. If you wish to hold an event at another time of day, please contact us directly for further discussion. We recommend evening events begin no earlier than 6:00 P.M. to allow adequate time for set up. Exceptions may be required during times of the year when darkness falls early.
q. Do you have hotel accommodations on site?
a. Not at this time. Please see “Where to Stay” for details on area resorts and hotels.
q. How do we secure a date for our wedding?
a. To reserve your Dream Dolphin Wedding, we request 50% of the projected cost of your event and a signed contract. The remainder will be due 60 days prior to your event. Payment arrangements may be made in certain circumstances.
q. What else do I need to consider?
a. The well-being of the dolphins is our biggest concern. Everything that is done here needs to take into consideration the health of the animals.
Being right on the Atlantic coastline means that the wind can be strong at times. Please ensure all decorations, accessories, et cetera are firmly attached and cannot blow into the dolphin habitat. Balloons are prohibited from the deck area around the habitat for this reason.
