“Atlantis Banquets & Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was effective, easy, and accommodating - they really listened to us and made sure our vision came to life. The quality of their work and value was exceptional, with a beautiful, big ballroom and 10/10 food. The fact that there was a hotel right next door was the icing on the cake. My Maitre D Christina was beyond great, and my bridal attendant Maddy made the day run so smoothly - I didn't know about any hiccups, which is exactly what you want! I highly recommend asking for Joanne LaRosa when booking, and requesting Christina K as your Maitre D and Maddy as your bridal attendant. They will make sure your special day is perfect from start to finish.”

“We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.”
