Southwick is not only a great place to go for a fun summer activity, but it was also the best venue I could have ever asked for. They are beyond helpful throughout the whole process- beginning to end. Sarah is an amazing coordinator in every sense of the word. Heather is incredible at what she does as well, really loved having her as my bridal attendant. They did a beautiful job with my wedding and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Southwick!

Atlantis Banquets & Events 

5.0

Riverhead, NY
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $139

Atlantis Banquets & Events can accommodate your wedding for 50 to 350 guests in one of nine diverse locations including the modern and beautiful Sea Star Ballroom with sweeping views of the Treasure Cove Resort Marina and Peconic River. The Coliseum Room is another perfect venue located within the Long Island Aquarium, which houses our most captivating and colorful aquatic habitats. Your ceremony can take place outside, in the Riverside Pavilion just on the banks of the river, or in the Grand Foyer of the Sea Star Ballroom, with beautiful marble features and a stunning Chihuly-inspired glass chandelier. An event like no other, only Atlantis Banquets & Events can bring the element of nature to your wedding with photo sessions including our penguins, sea lions, sharks or within our indoor and always tropical Butterfly Garden.

From our initial tour of the venue, we knew that Atlantis Banquets and Events was where we wanted to have our wedding. If you are looking for an incredibly unique experience, this is it: The venue overlooks the water so guests were able to watch the sunset over the water during cocktail hour, and then, everyone moved inside to the Long Island Aquarium where they were able to dance and dine amongst the fish tanks. The aquarium transformed that evening into what felt like an enchanting underwater forest. Atlantis has an in-house caterer, and the food was exquisite. We received comments from guests who are notoriously picky eaters, and they said this was the first wedding where they’ve been able to eat (and enjoy) the food! There was a huge team working the evening of our wedding, and they kept everything running smoothly. The staff were all incredibly professional and kind throughout the night. We worked with Joan and Bryan throughout the planning process, and they were absolutely wonderful. They were responsive, detailed, and helpful throughout the year as we planned and finalized event details. They also helped us coordinate our after party AND our hotel block (both within a few steps of the venue). I truly think Atlantis Banquets and Events, and the Long Island Aquarium, is a hidden gem of event venues on Long Island. The location is stunning and conveniently located in downtown Riverhead, the venue is so unique and beautiful, the food is delicious, and the staff is wonderful. Take a tour of the venue – You won’t regret it!
