Romantic Wedding in Connecticut

Get married at Mystic Aquarium.

Mystic, CT

Mystic Aquarium is fortunate to have Juno, a Beluga Whale, as a resident of the Arctic Coast exhibit. Juno especially loves a person dressed in white; he thinks they’re another Beluga. People dressed in dark colors he thinks are seals.

The Internet loves pictures of kittens and puppies, but what could be cuter than a penguin parent and its chick? This larger-than-life sculpture stands at the entrance to the African Penguin exhibit. Lots of good backgrounds here for wedding photos!

The penguins’ rocky rookery is a nice background for a wedding. You can have an underwater view of the penguins’ antics while staying dry, thanks to a window-lined tunnel.

There are several nooks and crannies at Mystic Aquarium where we can have a little privacy for an elopement.

Mystic Aquarium has several touch-tanks throughout the exhibits. The rays are gentle creatures and will not sting you! You can literally feed them with the special food sold there. The rays seem to fly through the water, so close that you can touch them; they enjoy your touch.

Juno loves all weddings and he hams it up for elopements at Mystic Aquarium. Sometimes it looks as if he’s cheering for the couple!

Juno the Beluga Whale loves brides! He and the rest of the Belugas will probably watch you get married, while your guests are enjoying your wedding at Mystic Aquarium. If you have young people attend your Mystic Aquarium wedding, they will be fascinated. The Arctic Coast exhibit has ample seating for your guests, and includes easy access for people using wheelchairs or walkers. The huge glass wall of the whales’ tank will provide good views for everyone, but the real stars will be you and your sweetheart.

If you plan to have your wedding when it would be too cold to have your wedding outside, Mystic Aquarium has abundant space inside for your wedding and reception. You and your guests will enjoy seeing all kinds of sea creatures, from mollusks to sharks, and the young people will have the opportunity to touch stingrays and other friendly beasts.

Ocean Blue Catering, Mystic Aquarium’s in-house caterer, provides fabulous wedding receptions with outstanding service.
