Wedding Testimonials

We are proud of our excellent service and we hope that you will take some time to read what our previous customers had to say about us!

The Zoo staff, especially Jenn & Mic, made my wedding day experience amazing. My wedding was hands down the best day of my life, and far less stressful thanks to the wonderful staff. Jenn helped me through every step of the way and was always so sweet to me, which made me feel like the zoo was part of my family. Mic was incredible the day of my wedding and during the rehearsal, she made sure everything went smoothly. I appreciated all of the servers and the set up & tear down crew. I will always recommend the Toledo Zoo for a venue!! Thank you all so much!!!

We could not be happier with the dedication and effort put in by the staff for our wedding. Everyone worked tirelessly. The staff felt like part of the family.

The food was outstanding!! Every guest commented and I was told by many, many guests that it was THE best food they ever had at a wedding reception. Jenni Maher was simply the best. My only regret is that it’s all over

If you want a stress free wedding day, have your wedding at the Toledo Zoo! Jenni and Mic went above and beyond to make sure our day went seamlessly. The Gardens at the Zoo are beautiful and our guests were impressed with everything the zoo had to offer. I do not have a bad thing to say about our experience at the zoo. The Food was incredible and the catering staff was top notch. SO HAPPY we had our wedding here.

The zoo was absolutely amazing! We had our ceremony and reception in the aquarium and everything was perfect! The staff was amazing, the coordinator Jen and her intern Lexie were amazing. The food was amazing. Our big day was truly a fairytale! Highly recommend. Completely worth every penny. They made the day go smoothly and having them set up and tear down was so nice! I loved everything about the zoo! Amazing venue.
