The ceremony and reception are at the Fort Worth Zoo. The ceremony will be outside near the Bongo exhibit and the reception will be inside the Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery right next to the Bongo exhibit. Dancing will be outside where the ceremony was held.
Guests will enter through the main entrance for the ceremony, and zoo staff will be at the entrance to guide people. Guests can use the portraits of the wild entrance/exit after the ceremony. The Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery entrance is a bit to the right of the main entrance.
