“We loved having our wedding at the Seacoast Science Center. The venue is simply stunning. We were able to have both our ceremony and reception there with gorgeous views. Holly was so responsive over email during the process. Guests loved being able to go inside and see the marine animals too - it made for such unique and memorable experiences. We got so many incredible photos with the water in the background. Having our wedding at this one-of-a-kind venue really made our day feel special.
