“Hi Marc,
I wanted to reach out to you and your entire team. It was an absolute pleasure working with you for well over a year planning our daughter’s wedding at the zoo. From the very beginning you made the process so seamless and very enjoyable to plan. I was very impressed with how you go about the planning and all that is involved with putting on a wedding, including down to every detail. I can’t imagine having such an experience at any other venue. You have been top notch and I appreciate all your help and support during this past year with all the planning.
From the moment I got to the zoo on the day of the wedding my breath was taken away with how everything looked so gorgeous. From the decor to the flowers it was truly something magical.
Your staff was very professional and every detail was seen too. And the food! Let me tell you it was amazing!! Everyone raved about how delicious the food was and they all loved the Live Action Slider Station. That was a true hit!
Your recommendation for vendors was exceptional. I was so pleased with every one of them. They were all so awesome and a pleasure to work with. They all helped make the wedding extra special.”- Mother of the Bride, 2023
