Ocean Discovery Wing – Ballroom
The Ocean Discovery Wing is the main event space at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Natural light floods the ballroom through incredible floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the outdoor sea turtle hospital. We especially love the view of the aquarium that houses a couple of friendly nurse sharks! The modern color palette makes it a great space for any wedding theme.
Ocean Deck – Ceremony
For those looking to have a beach backdrop for your wedding without having their toes in the sand, the Ocean Deck is the perfect ceremony or cocktail space. This outdoor option sits on the rooftop of Loggerhead Marinelife Center and overlooks Juno Beach. You will love the ocean breeze that will fill your ceremony or cocktail reception.
Ocean Deck – Cocktail Hour
Sitting adjacent to the Ocean Deck ceremony space is the Ocean Deck cocktail hour space, which allows for an easy transition for guests. This covered space boasts outstanding aerial views of the outdoor sea turtle hospital and Juno Beach. We love the mix of lounge areas and tabletops, giving guests a choice in how they mingle.
If you would like guests to move to a completely separate space for cocktail hour, you also have the option of utilizing the Cafe Deck.
Roam the Outdoor Sea Turtle Hospital
One of the amazing options that can be added to your wedding day at Loggerhead Marinelife Center is having a docent available during cocktail hour. These knowledgeable guides will show guests around the Outdoor Sea Turtle Hospital during cocktail hour giving them information on the current patients and treatment plans and answering any questions they may have.
During this time, don’t miss the incredible photo ops with the turtle patients, nurse sharks, and even the jellyfish tank in One Ocean Hall.
