What is the wedding ceremony setup like at Aria?
Aria is primarily an indoor banquet hall, making it ideal if you want to keep your entire wedding—ceremony and reception—under one roof with climate-controlled comfort. The venue features a stage and podium area that can be configured as your ceremony focal point, and the same space transitions seamlessly into your reception. This all-in-one approach simplifies logistics and allows your guests to move directly from the ceremony to cocktails and dinner without leaving the building.
Can Aria accommodate 500 wedding guests?
Yes, Aria has a maximum capacity of 500 guests, making it one of the larger banquet venues in the Prospect area. This size is excellent for couples planning a grand celebration with extended family and a large friend group.

As an indoor banquet hall, Aria provides a controlled environment with professional lighting and décor elements that work well for formal wedding photography.
