I just had my wedding at Brevard Zoo in January 2025, and it was absolutely amazing. I worked with Liz, the Assistant Events Manager, and she was professional, and wonderful to work with. She made very precise calls to guide me through when the weather changed for the worse. I couldn't have asked for a better team. 10/10
Brevard Zoo was a beautiful venue for our wedding! The staff was also amazing and made sure that everything went perfectly.
Literally a dream having my wedding here. Shai and Jes were so amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue!
Amazing views, great setup, plenty of space, Erin was awesome to work with and very accommodating, affordable, and all our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!
Where to even begin...Brevard Zoo was truly a dream come true. The coordinator was so helpful throughout the entire process. Answered every single question we had. The transition from ceremony to cocktail and then reception ran so smoothly. They really work so hard on making sure everything runs the way it is supposed to. The venue is so perfect and was absolutely stunning. We will never forget this night. Thank you so much.
Magen was so wonderful wo work with. She was easy to communicate with and would call/email back in a very timely fashion. She made booking my venue easy and stress free!
