My wife and I got married at Shark Reef Aquarium in Mandalay Bay on July 18, 2026. Josephine was our wedding coordinator, Candice was our photo consultant, and Riccardo was our photographer on our wedding day. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive to our wedding vision. Everything went as planned and it truly was the perfect day. We had a wonderful experience.

This has been something me, my husband, and my family will NEVER forget. I would add mo…

Angela helped us figure out what to do and we turned one of the bridesmaids into a flower girl. Our seascape venue was gorgeous and exactly how we wanted it. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. She ma…
