We had an incredible day and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. From our first conversation, the team was easy to work with and responded to our questions quickly, which made the planning process stress-free. The all-inclusive package included so much that made planning so much easier, and they handled everything from setup to teardown at the end of the night. What really blew our guests away were the stunning views from the property, we heard about them from multiple people throughout the evening. They facilitated every moment before and during our wedding day, so we could just enjoy the celebration. Would book over and over again!

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Dance floor not included
When we were deciding on a venue we looked at several places in and around Knoxville we found two very common themes - barns and warehouses. While many of the locations we looked at were beautiful we wanted something fun and unique, which is how we found Zoo Knoxville. We knew that it would allow for a once in a lifetime memory for ourselves and our guests, and boy oh boy it did not disappoint. We held our ceremony in front of the elephants, the cocktail hour was in the treehouse near the gibbons, and our reception was in their event tent near Kid's Cove. The Zoo was great to work with from the beginning to the end, we had a team of coordinators to work with and they had their own catering/bar service so it was on stop shop. I can't recommend Zoo Knoxville enough if you want a unique wedding experience that your friends and family will be talking about, this venue is for you. Plus it's somewhere we can easily go back to relive all of our memories.
