“Robin & the team at Hi-Wire were such an incredible asset to our wedding weekend. They hosted our "Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party" which was a trivia night that we hosted. The bartenders went above and beyond with the slideshow clicking duty while working the bar! They had all required electornic capabilities for our set up. We had some delay with the projector, but it was promptly fixed during the meet and greet portion of our night. The venue is spacious with plenty of room for our 70 guests. The photobooth was such a fun additional! The bar had plenty of options, including options other than Hi-Wire beers. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of space. We were able to snag some photos over in the tasting room/cannery and those turned out to be some of my absolute favorite from the weekend. The bright colors of all the cans made for such a fun backdrop. We absolutely loved working with everyone at the Event Space!”

Don't even bother looking for outside catering, because Chef Joey is incredible—he curated a fantastic BBQ dinner that our guests were talking about for weeks.

They truly listened to everything we wanted, and even then went above and beyond what we asked for to make our day perfect. I was honestly surprised in the best way at how much they did for us. On our wedding day, they had an event that morning that more people showed up for than they had accounted for, and even still, they made us priority. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the catering was top notch, and the set up and breakdown were effortless. For a day that everyone warned me was chaotic and stressful, that was just simply not the case at the zoo. Miranda was our coordinator and I will forever be grateful for her and how she made our special day (and the months leading up to it) the best way we could’ve asked for.”
