SeaWorld®

Orlando

“A client wanted its attendees to split up in three separate groups for dinner, but wanted all of the experiences to be equal. SeaWorld®

Orlando was the

perfect venue, as we were able to provide completely unique dining experiences that rivaled each other for ‘best of show’ status. The evening concluded with everyone coming together for an incredible Shamu Rocks show, and they all left believing they had experienced the best of SeaWorld®

. That is, at least until

we open Antarctica – the Empire of the Penguin!”
