Originally planning on just doing a very small ceremony at the courthouse, I had a pipe dream of doing it somewhere meaningful. I didn’t think that with a 2 weeks notice they would even respond to me let alone have something available in my price range. Upon reaching out online, Shai Salter reached out right away and literally made a last minute ceremony perfect. She didn’t just squeeze me in to their busy schedule, she took the time to talk to me after hours when I could get out of work, and gave me options of what I could do and where I could do it. Honestly, it was surprising at how much they offered. She got to know me and gave me recommendations that suited us perfectly and offered things I would have never thought of. I was able to choose me and my wife’s absolute favorite spot in the entire zoo and was able to have the ceremony and tiny reception before the zoo even opened! Shai went above and beyond and I cannot say enough good things about her. She came in on her day off on a Sunday to meet with us and give us a walkthrough of everything. She was patient with all of our questions and even texted me back after hours when I thought of silly little questions. Thank you so very much for making our day so special!

I could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding. The food was amazing. The event coordinator and catering manager literally went above and beyond to make this the best night of our lives. And I have to mention the ANIMALS. I’ve always loved animals so being able to have a few attend my wedding was an incredible experience. We are forever grateful

I can’t even begin to say how incredible our wedding day at the Brevard Zoo was!!! Shai the venue coordinator and Jes the catering manager were great to work with, made our day run so smoothly and the catering was AMAZING!!!! Everyone said how much they enjoyed not only the food but the beautiful venue as well. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!!!
