This unique venue is awesome! We had our son’s rehearsal dinner here and everything was perfect. Emily (Event Coordinator) and Ashley (Director of Catering) were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond for our event. The evening was beautiful and memorable-I would give the zoo and it’s event staff 10 stars if I could!!

We had both our ceremony and reception at the Fort Worth Zoo. The ceremony was held on the deck outside of the Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery and it was beautiful! The reception was inside the gallery. We had the Wild Wonders Animal Presentation, where the WW staff brought around 4 animals to each table during the reception. We got to pose with the animals and all our guests thought it was so cool and unique to have animals at our wedding. The Zoo catered the food and we got so many compliments on it! The staff was wonderful and they made sure everything ran smoothly. I loved this venue because it was beautiful and unique.

We held our rehearsal dinner in the Portrait of the Wild Art Gallery. Jordan and Emily were my contacts and they were incredibly helpful. There was not one glitch in our evening thanks to them. The food was amazing and the venue was incredible. All of our guests had a wonderful time and loved the uniqueness of the location. I have recommended this location to several friends.
