Special Events FAQ's

  • Am I able to setup my event the day before?

    This is dependent upon ballroom availability and could incur additional charges. Please consult with your sales manager for more details.

  • Can I bring in my own entertainment, florist, DJ, etc.?

    Yes, as long as they follow the guidelines of the contract. All setup and breakdown of any items not provided by Georgia Aquarium or Wolfgang Puck Catering are the responsibility of the client. Load in/out times and locations will be established by the Georgia Aquarium Event Sales & Services Team prior to your event.

  • Does the room rental charge go towards my food and beverage minimum?

    The room rental is a separate fee which goes to supporting the Aquarium operations, and therefore does not apply to your food and beverage minimum.

  • Is there a nonprofit rate?

    Yes, please consult with your sales manager for more details.

  • Is there a sound limit?

    Yes, it is 85 decibels, and our staff diligently works together to maintain acceptable levels for the health and safety of our animals.

  • May I pay for my guests’ parking?

    Yes, please consult with your sales manager for more details.

  • What Covid-19 safety measures have you implemented for events?

    The safety and experience of our guests and our team members are our top priorities. We have implemented several new safety measures and updated processes to ensure the Aquarium is operating in accordance with the advice of the state and federal governments and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Take an in depth look below at the precautions being taken to make sure you and your guests feel safe and comfortable while enjoying a splashing event at Georgia Aquarium.
