What’s Special About A Zoo Wedding?

What’s better than a trip to the local zoo or safari park in the UK? So, just imagine the magic of hosting one of the most important days of your life there. Not only will your guests be left spellbound and talking for years to come, but you’ll be left with lifelong animal-filled memories.

Benefits Of A Wedding At A Zoo

• Totally unique setting
• Sights and sounds of animals as you celebrate
• Opportunity for magical wedding photos alongside your favourite animals
• Fun experience and entertainment for all your guests
• Animal encounter experiences

I always think it is lovely to choose a wedding venue you can revisit in the future too. Imagine anniversaries in years to come celebrated at the zoo where you said I do. It really doesn’t get better than that does it?

What Experiences Can A Zoo Wedding Offer?

Dartmoor Zoo Weddings offers the unique opportunity to meet some of the beautiful animals.

But no zoo wedding would be complete without some additional guests who may have been missed off the original guest list, including a meet and greet with the cheeky meerkats, and the wedding couple can even meet the Zoo’s tiger, Dragan, for a truly spectacular experience and photo opportunity.

Animal Experiences

• Meet the meerkats

• Feed the otters
• Reptire and bug experience
• Other experiences can include meet the cheetahs, meet the jaguar or falconry displays

Onsite Entertainment

While you as a couple can enjoy an animal experience, how about putting on a falconry show for guests during the drinks reception? Or allow time for your guests to explore the zoo? Can you even imagine the fun memories that would be made?

Couples looking to renew their vows, celebrate an engagement or elope can also enjoy their special day at this truly unique wedding venue.
