My now husband and I love animals and thought the Philadelphia Zoo would be the perfect place for a ceremony. We had it in the Treehouse and it was AWESOME. Prior to the ceremony...
, the wedding party, parents and whomever we wanted could come enjoy the zoo and take pictures. There are many unique and beautiful places to take pictures and even have animals involved. They have a carousel, which makes an awesome picture. The wedding party had a blast with all of the areas, visiting animals, and taking pictures. The staff went above and beyond in assisting and planning everything. They had golf carts for the guests who are handicapped and took them around and to/from the entrance and ceremony. The ceremony in the Treehouse awed the guests. No outside decorations required, not even a runner. Its beautiful and definitely not your average venue.
In addition, if you love animals, you can ask your guests to adopt one for you, instead of or in addition to registering!
