This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! We were going for more of a rustic/industrial vibe and this was the perfect match. The 3rd floor venue was easily accessible for everyone, including our handicapable guests. We did have a few occurrences where there was a little bit of a communication error, but their team was quick to help us resolve all questions. I would highly recommend this venue!

If you are considering booking the zoo for your wedding, this is your sign to do it. Every single aspect exceeded our expectations! I honestly can’t emphasize enough how accommodating they were. 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.
