Your wedding day at Island Oasis begins with access to our bridal party suites starting at 11:00 AM, giving the wedding party a comfortable space to get ready and prepare for the celebration ahead. When it’s time to say “I do,” couples can choose to host their ceremony beneath our beautiful Fish Arch or inside the Island Oasis Venue, with seating for up to 150 guests. Following the ceremony, guests can enjoy a unique cocktail hour experience. Cocktail hour may be hosted inside Island Oasis or throughout our aquarium after hours, where high-top tables surround our shark tank and stingray touch tank. Guests can mingle, enjoy refreshments, and even have the opportunity to participate in an animal meet-and-greet, creating an experience unlike any traditional wedding venue. Once cocktail hour comes to an end, guests are invited back into the Island Oasis Venue, where the evening continues with dinner, dancing, and unforgettable memories. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, beautiful aquatic exhibits, and the atmosphere of an indoor tropical paradise, your reception becomes a celebration your guests will be talking about long after the last dance.

All ceremony spaces are indoor

What really makes the Island Oasis a favorite for couples is how easily it blends the magic of a destination tropical wedding with the stress-free comfort of an indoor, climate-controlled venue. Here is what couples rave about the most: 1. The “No-Stress” Tropical Vibe Florida weddings are beautiful, but heat, humidity, rain, and bugs can easily crash an outdoor beach ceremony. Couples love that they get the best of both worlds here: towering palm trees, lush greenery, and a relaxed, breezy island aesthetic, all while keeping their guests perfectly cool in full A/C. 2. Built-In, Unforgettable Entertainment Instead of worrying about keeping guests entertained during transition times, couples get a built-in experience. While the newlyweds are taking photos, guests can: Sip cocktails right next to the Stingray Touch Tank and feed the rays. Walk through the Rainforest Adventure to see the sloths, otters, and lemurs. Explore the glowing aquarium exhibits after hours. It turns a standard wedding into an interactive weekend adventure that guests talk about for years. 3. Absolute Freedom with Catering Many traditional venues lock couples into expensive, in-house catering contracts with fixed menus. The Island Oasis is highly praised for its open-vendor policy. Couples have the freedom to bring in their favorite local caterer, a casual food truck, or host a custom tropical buffet that fits their exact budget and taste. The Ultimate Photo Op: The crowd favorite is undoubtedly the aquarium’s 4,000-gallon coral fish arch. Saying “I do” underneath a canopy of swimming tropical fish makes for wedding photos that are incredibly vibrant and completely unique.
