Sustainable Celebrations

Sustainable CelebrationThere are many easy and cost-effective ways to make your event a sustainable celebration, here are just a few!
bulletInvitations: Use seeded Invitations/envelopes that can be used for planting afterwards and print with soy based inks that are less harmful to the environment.
bulletCatering: Make certain that your caterer is buying local produce. Check and see if they participate in South Carolina Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative?
bulletVenue: Choose a non-profit venue that gives back - not only will you get a tax deduction, but you will be helping a good cause. Consider giving party favors or gifts of donations in the name of the couple, party host or attendees.

TESTIMONIALS

"I am so happy with how my wedding and reception turned out at the aquarium. Everyone of my guests enjoyed themselves so much. I still can't believe how inexpensive of a venue the third floor terrace and executive room when you take in how wonderful of a view you get and the location of downtown on the water. I was so lucky to get married there!"
- Michelle (Executive Board Room rental)
