“We had our wedding here on October 23rd, 2025. It was beautiful and the Epic team made the day as easy as possible. Our coordinator Drew was awesome - he gave us some great ideas to improve the event during our meetings and helped minimize our stress day-of. It went off without a hitch, and we couldn't be happier. The venue itself is also beautiful which a number of our guests commented on.”

“Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very first planning meeting, the team was incredibly responsive, attentive, and friendly in helping us bring our vision to life. The value they provided was unmatched - the naturally beautiful space required minimal additional decor, and the add-ons like the photo both and cold touch sparklers were very memorable. We felt like no small detail was missed thanks to Ashley, Austin, Aubree, Devin, Ireland, Kylie, Makenna, Mikayla, Austin (our DJ&MC), and DJ (our banquet coordinator). They truly feel like family by the end of it all. We are forever thankful to the entire Galway Downs team for making our wedding day so special and stress-free.”

“The Safari Park is a stunning wedding venue that I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable wedding day. We chose Kijamii Overlook, which had spectacular views of the safari area, with giraffes, rhinos, and antelope visible throughout the ceremony and reception. When we first toured the venue, we were blown away that we could actually have our wedding in such a beautiful and unique setting. The entire experience, from our initial tour and planning through the wedding day itself, went incredibly smoothly. Our sales coordinator, Magda, was informative, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. That responsiveness stood out immediately. When I first called, I was able to speak with someone right away and schedule a tour within a couple of weeks. With other venues, we sometimes waited weeks just to hear back. The planning process itself was an absolute breeze. Our coordinators, Anna and Delaney, gave us their full attention throughout, and the wedding day went as smoothly as we could have hoped. We were blown away when we saw the venue with the tables, flowers, and full setup in place. Another huge plus was the included park admission. Many of our guests spent the day exploring the Safari Park before the wedding and loved it, which made the whole experience even more memorable. The catered food was also absolutely delicious and genuinely exceeded our expectations. Overall, the Safari Park was an easy 5/5 for us. The setting is spectacular, the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience felt incredibly special. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding venue—especially animal lovers.”
