Beautiful location
The statement guests (and anyone that has seen our wedding pictures) all said was "the most unique and awesome wedding!". Getting married at the zoo was like a dream. Jacqui was so helpful and amazing with all of my millions of questions. Pricing was great; we didn't go into debt! The food was fantastic and I don't think I had one complaint from anyone for any reason. We were able to pay a very minimal fee to have animals during our cocktail hour which added such a fun flare to the day. The weather did not cooperate so we had to make some last minute changes and the zoo staff was so accommodating and helpful it didn't even matter. I would recommend this venue over and over again.
It was an amazing reception with incredible food. The Oasis tent held our 325 guest comfortably and while it was 45 degrees outside, it was nice and warm in the tent. There was more than enough wait staff to serve everyone and they set up the reception decor perfectly. We paid additional for camels to greet guests and be photographed with them at the entrance. Also, the wedding party was escorted around the Zoo via golf cart for some incredible pictures prior to the reception.
I loved the animal viewing areas. It made the reception very unique and memorable.;The event staff at the zoo is a nightmare to work with. They are way more concerned about making money and themselves happy rather than making your day special. They double booked us on our wedding day!
