FAQs

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Yes! We will have signature cocktails, beer, wine, and soda along with hors d'oeuvres from 5:15-6:30pm which you will enjoy in the monkey exhibit. There will then be an open bar from 7:00-11:00pm. Please enjoy responsibly.

Question

Are my kids invited?

Answer

Unfortunately no. Although the zoo is a family friendly place, we have decided to make it an adults only affair.

Question

Do I get a plus one?

Answer

If you were allotted a plus one, your invitation would either say "and guest" or have your guest's name written on the invitation.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We would love our guests to take the opportunity to get dressed up! Formal/cocktail attire is encouraged.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive 15-30 minutes before the ceremony start time in order to find your seat.

Question

What if I have food allergies?

Answer

When you RSVP, there will be an option to add your food allergies which we will do our best to accommodate.

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

St. Mary's Church and the Milwaukee County Zoo will have plenty of free parking on the premises. The zoo will allow guests to leave their cars overnight if you choose an alternate way home. The gate will be open for Ubers and Lyft. The Sonesta Hotel does have a free shuttle for the reception if you choose to stay there.

Question

Can I enjoy the zoo before the reception starts?

Answer

The zoo closes to the general public at 4:30pm. In order for security to ensure that the wedding is for invited guests only, zoo security needs the grounds to be free of all guests from 4:30-5:15 pm.

Question

Do you have overnight accommodations in place?

Answer

Yes, click the "travel" tab for more information.
