5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Garden Party Attire: Wear cocktail dresses, sundresses, dressy jumpsuits, and slacks. Floral and summery patterns and colors encouraged! Comfy shoes you can walk in are a must.
Our outdoor ceremony will be followed by a cocktail hour and reception, where we will enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, desserts, and a fun night of dancing and visiting with one another! Buffet entrees will include beef short ribs, pan seared chicken breast, and a vegan lasagna. While there will be a shuttle from the Zoo entry gates to the ceremony site, guests will be walking a short distance to the reception venue (by the tigers!), so please bring a pair of shoes you feel comfortable walking in. ARRIVAL: Please arrive by 4:45 to give yourself plenty of time to park, check in at the admission gates, and make your way to the ceremony site. Since our venue is at pretty much the opposite end of the park from the entry gates, the Zoo will be providing a shuttle. At the end of the evening, Zoo ambassadors will escort guests back to the exit. NOTE: In consideration of allergies, please refrain from wearing heavy perfumes/fragrances. Thank you!
