Experience of a Lifetime

If you want people to talk about your wedding, and call it the coolest wedding they've ever been to, Tanganyika is the best place to get married. Being able to include animals in the festivities was a huge hit. We had 5 animals come visit during our cocktail hour, and it really helped keep guests busy while we did last minute photos (and snuck in a private dinner).

The team here really knows how to keep events on time and they do a great job of communicating with the rest of your vendors. Beyond the cool atmosphere, the team really just knows how to help wherever you may need it.

Just what I wanted for my Wedding

Tanganyika was a wonderful venue for our wedding!! Connie, the event planner, was very helpful and always responded very quickly. Connie was able to make any last minute changes happen without making you feel like you’re an inconvenience. She always had a smile on her face and just made you feel very comfortable. She went above and beyond especially after finding out my parents tested positive for Covid-19 and would not be able to make my wedding so she pulled strings and arranged for a videographer for the ceremony so my parents could still watch it. We picked a penguin as our animal ambassador and it was the cutest thing having it walk down the aisle. I would highly recommend Tanganyika to everyone.
