We had our wedding at the Melbourne Zoo in November 2022. It was the most perfect venue for our special day. We couldn’t recommend it more! Our ceremony took place on Platypus Lawn and our reception was in Leopard Lodge. The giraffe encounter was amazing! Thank you for making our day perfect in everyway!

I cannot rave enough about our day at the Melbourne Zoo, every aspect was amazing. The events team especially Jo were absolutely unreal and we’re so incredibly helpful with any request we had. They made our wedding experience such a joyful and non stressful one. We got married under the Moreton bay fig tree which was magical and had our reception at the Rainforest Room, the perfect size for our intimate wedding. Beautiful atmosphere, Beautiful Food, a once in a lifetime opportunity and a place to get married if you’re wanting something out of the ordinary. A day i’ll never forget.

Jas was extremely fantastic and lovely. Very laid back, understanding and great with last minute changes!

We had a fantastic time! All of our guests were amazed by what a great idea it was to have a wedding at the zoo. A very unique idea. The venue matched what we were looking for in a reception, and the staff that helped us on the day were just absolutely fantastic! They all did their job efficiently, were passionate about their role, passionate about the animals, and just were great as working as a team!
