Weddings & Receptions
Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies Can Host Your Weddings and Receptions!
Let us plan rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception at America’s #1 Aquarium. Enjoy breathtaking views of aquatic life. Create life-long memories in a beautiful and unique setting.
Complete banquet and catering services available, from hors d’oeuvres to a sit-down dinner.
Make your party or event extra special with a visit from one of our most loved residents, our African Penguins! A staff biologist will bring one of our penguins to your event. During a 30 minute interaction, you will learn about this endangered species and have the opportunity to ask questions. Your guests will be able to see the penguin upclose and take photos to make your event even more memorable.
- $200.00 per 30 minute session with penguin and penguin handler
- Penguin waddles about, no holding and touching
Proposal package available. Turn your day trip to the Aquarium into a day you will never forget!
