    We held our daughter’s wedding at Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) on Saturday, March 30, 2024. It was such a lovely and unique venue and perfect for the upscale-but-tropical-and-relaxed vibe we wanted to have. Our daughter’s degree is in Marine Biology and she and her new husband are both ocean lovers, so the fit was a natural for their wedding. Working with Event Manager Tonya Pelligrini and her team was a pleasure right from the first exchange of communications, and that continued straight through the Big Day itself. We held the wedding ceremony, cocktail party, and dinner reception all at LMC. The LMC facilities allowed us and our guests to have a variety of experiences all within the same location. The wedding ceremony was held on the covered Café Deck, the cocktail party was on the higher partially-covered Oceanview Deck, and the dinner and dancing took place inside the Ocean Discovery Ballroom. The spaces start as basically “blank slates”, so you have to do the planning and secure all needed rentals, but you have a lot of flexibility in doing so. There’s no question that the sea turtle ambassadors and other ocean life at LMC were huge hits with our guests. Tonya staffed our cocktail hour with LMC docents so we could have the exhibits open for our guests to stroll through. It’s also a venue that is kid-friendly, which was important to us since we had more than a dozen children in attendance. There is space for them to run, ramps and multiple levels to explore, and, of course, the chance to be up close to sea turtles of all sizes and get their questions answered by the docents. We had fantastic weather for the rehearsal on Friday as well as for the whole day on Saturday, and LMC’s spaces were all covered and shady enough while still letting the sunshine in. The views of the grounds and the ocean beyond were beautiful. There were so many different settings for photos too. LMC requires you to use only vendors from their approved list, and we found that the vendors we hired were all very competent, knew the LMC spaces, were reliable, and delivered high-quality results. Set-up and tear-down both went smoothly. We would highly recommend Loggerhead Marinelife Center as a wedding venue!
