Awesome place for a wedding! - An Eventective User from BARTONSVILLE, PA

I can't say enough good things about this venue. Many people would be shocked to realize that you can get married at a zoo, but let me tell you, my wedding was AWESOME. The layout of the reception is just perfect. The room is beautiful and the doors in the front all slide open and you can walk freely in and out. They set up the bar outside and it worked out perfectly. All night people were on the dance floor, but those that were at the bar or hanging out outside could still feel like the were completely part of the reception. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but my expectations were beyond exceeded. At the end of the night, I told the staff that I really have zero complaints. It was truly a perfect night. They are extremely flexible and will work with you on every little detail. I have very crafty women in my family and they let them arrive at 9am to set up the ceremony area even though the zoo was open. It looked STUNNING! There are so many areas to choose from when deciding where to have the ceremony-they will let you decide what works best for your vision! The food was great and we added an ice cream sundae station for dessert. Everyone went on and on about how good it was! The cake was included in the price and comes from Kriebels Custom Bakery. It was 5 tiers, beautiful, and delicious. This place is definitely worth checking out!!! I am such a nervous person and felt so sick over things going right. I had no reason to be nervous. Eric, who I worked with directly, was amazing and pulled through on every little detail!!!
