When the South Carolina Aquarium closes for the day, a unique event site opens. As your guests arrive, they will experience Charleston from an entirely different perspective. Gorgeous views abound at The South Carolina Aquarium-both inside and out.

Our Main Galleries location offers you and your guests a unique, private experience inside both floors of the aquarium's exciting exhibits.

Our 3rd floor Executive Board Room and Harbor Deck are great for intimate events such as small weddings, rehearsal dinners or bridal luncheons.

We invite you to schedule a walk through with our Special Events Coordinators.
