Underwater aquarium ceremonies and proposal ideas
Silverton offers an aquarium wedding package inside the 117,000-gallon saltwater tank. Ceremonies can be conducted wet (diving) or dry (on the exterior viewing side); the package includes required gear and may include a mermaid bridesmaid.
Couples frequently use the aquarium for unique proposal moments, staging an engagement while scheduled mermaid swims or feeding presentations are happening. Coordinate timing with the events team to avoid conflicts with public shows.
- Aquarium weddings are offered as a distinct package; confirm inclusions and logistics with the events team
- Mermaid swims run on a schedule (Thursday–Saturday and Sunday times are publicly listed), so book the aquarium slot early
- Underwater ceremonies require coordination for safety, photography, and guest viewing arrangements
| Ceremony style | How it works |
|---|---|
| Wet (underwater) | Participants enter the tank with provided gear |
| Dry (viewing side) | Ceremony staged outside the tank with fish and mermaid backdrop |
| Proposal | Can be timed with mermaid swims or private aquarium access |
