Engagements & Proposals
Let Dolphin Research Center help you POP the question
Celebrate Life's Special Moments at DRC!
Over the years, many marriage proposals and weddings have taken place at Dolphin Research Center. We offer different options for these special moments.
Proposals
For your special occasion, you could participate in a public Dolphin Encounter for the cost of $225.00 per person or book an Exclusive Private Dolphin Encounter for up to six people for $2,189. One of DRC's professional staff photographers will capture the event on beautiful, high-resolution digital images that are available for purchase for an additional fee after your Encounter is complete. Photos are included in the cost of the Exclusive Private Dolphin Encounter.
If you wish, we can even arrange for the dolphin to deliver the ring, contained in a waterproof container that floats, of course. Just let us know ahead of your visit!
There is no additional charge to propose marriage during either of these programs.
If you prefer to propose out of the water, there are several beautiful, scenic locations around the facility such as by the waterfall, in the Veterans' Garden, or a few feet from the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the causeway.
Celebrate the Occasion
Time for the Engagement Celebration now! Invite your friends and family to join you to mark this next chapter in your lives. With both indoor and outdoor space, we can create a special day for you no matter what the Florida Keys weather brings. Call or email us today with your vision for your special day!
Indoor Room Space
Two separate rooms each hold up to 70 attendees in Theater Style or up to 44 people for dinner. Other arrangements are also possible, of course. The airy outside porch is perfect for smaller breakouts or for serving a meal "al fresco".
For technical needs, a full-screen monitor and wi-fi capability are available in each room.
Interactive Programs and other Activities
Create lasting memories for your attendees when they meet a member of our dolphin family or participate in another interactive program!
