Opinions needed please, went to look at the Aquarium in Baltimore about the wedding

I love the Dolphin room idea! Very unique and I think the prices are very reasonable. What choices of food do you have?

They both sound lovely. If it were me, I wouldn't want to spend all that money for a few hours. I would rather save it and put it into our new home. If you have it saved, then what the heck, but if you have to borrow, then you'll be paying interest too. The only reason I'm saying this is a friend went all out, the wedding was beautiful, they were divorced before the wedding was paid off....5 years later.

I like the dolphin room. Its indoors and I'm freezing right now, so indoors sounds good to me! I've never been married, and the only wedding I helped plan was my little brothers...their reception place was free. But, $3K sounds good to me. This is your big day. Being that you've gotten quite a few deals on other things, I would say splurge on the location! You only get married once (well, you're only supposed to get married once).

One thing though, if you go with the dolphin room, I really like the idea of getting married in front of the dolphins, but make sure the glass is non glare so people can get good photos. You don't want your heads cut out of the picture because they were overpowered by the glare from the aquarium.

I like the sound of both of them. If you're getting married in the evening, I like the idea of the outdoor cathedral type. The harbor is beautiful at night, and with the moon out and everything, that would be really cool. If it is any other time of day, I would go with the dolphin room. That is definitely the most original idea I have ever heard, and the memories you and your guests have will be wonderful.

I agree with you. But I know different things are important to different people. My Daughter was married in the music room of a beautiful Bed and Breakfast, the honeymoon suite was included for the night, it was $1500.00 with the money we saved, we sent them to Mexico for a week.

My Husband and I just got married in the living room with the preacher and a couple of witnesses. We decided that if it worked out, we would go on a wonderful trip on our 10 year anniversary. We flew to Seattle and took the pacific coast hwy to the redwood forest for our 10th.

The dolphin idea to unique and sounds like it would be fun!
