Im thinking of having my wedding reception @ Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead. I see that most reviews are positive, and my fiance and I both love the place but the only thing I can't get past is that the dance area is completely separate from the dinner area. Did anyone else who has had their reception there find this to be a problem as well? if so how was it handled? did your guests find this awkward? Any info (or if possible, pics also) would be appreciated. Thank You!

I have never seen the setup for a wedding...IDK how I would feel about it, but I think David Tutera would love that element of surprise! Do you expect alot of dancing? Can music be heard in dining area too?

Re: Atlantis Marine World
one of my bff's brother got married there a few years a go...i didn't attend but she did mention that it was a little awkward for guests. i agree, just think about it - maybe that element of surprise will be cool if its 'you'

Re: Atlantis Marine World
I have to admit that when I have been to weddings that separate dinner and dancing--there is much less dancing. Often times people will be sitting in their seats and hear 'their song' and run to the dance floor-- this is very difficult to do when you are in a separate room. On a positive side--there is much more room & it may be suitable for you!

Re: Atlantis Marine World
I'm actually getting married there in May and can't wait!! I think the separate rooms are great for those people who want to be able to talk and not scream at eachother to be heard--I was told that my music will be heard in both rooms and that it will be on a lower volume in the dining area...I am also having 5-6 cocktail tables around the dancefloor for those that want to sit down in between dancing... As with any party, regardless of the room-if people want to dance they will and if they don't they won't... good luck!!!

I was just therefor the bridal showcase and they built a whole new room! It is very pretty there. Both my sister and I had our sweet sixteens there. It has changed slot since I had mine but when my sister had hers, the eating in the different rooms was not a problem at all.

Re: Atlantis Marine World
My friends were just there over the weekend for a bridal showcase and they said the place was sooo amazing! They didn't know if I booked a place yet and called me from there and told me I had to go check it out...but I already booked my RH. Congrats on your check and you are going to have a great wedding I'm sure!
