Everyone loves a day at the zoo – so why not a wedding? Gathered with loved ones amidst the spine-tingling roars of lions, the stamping feet of elephants and the natural beauty of lakes and gardens, your big day will be all the more special spent in this venue with a difference.
Offering a variety of options including outdoor wedding ceremony sites and reception rooms featuring natural flora and fauna, the two zoo venues offer a myriad of choice. Beloved and iconic attraction Melbourne Zoo offers stunning natural settings, from the Rainforest Room to the Japanese Garden and Elephant Trail. For a more safari-style occasion, the Werribee Zoo offers a savannah setting complete with cocktails by the Cheetahs, or dinner in the Meerkat Room.
To uncover the secrets of these weddings in the wild, Zoos Victoria functions invite you to attend a special Wedding Open Evening to be held across the two venues.
Melbourne Zoo will showcase the following sites and function rooms:
Bong Su Function Room alongside the Trail of the Elephant Trail
Lakeside Function Room overlooking the Japanese Gardens
Rainforest Function Room surrounded by the gorgeous Tamarin Monkeys
Moreton Bay Fig Tree near the heritage listed Carousel
Japanese Gardens one of the most popular ceremony sites

Werribee Zoo will showcase:

Also featuring exhibitors from all aspects of the bridal industry – from celebrants and photo-booth suppliers to stationery, cakes, photography and accommodation services, this is a great opportunity not only to plan your wedding but also to indulge yourself with a fun night at the zoo.
