It was a wildly good time

We had a great experience with Woodland Park Zoo and Levy Catering. We rented the Northwest Trail with our ceremony on the Elk Overlook and reception in the former Taiga Shelter (with the otters and bear). Planning was easy, the food was terrific, and we got lucky - the elk, bear, otters and mountain goats all made appearances!

Fantastic experience for wedding ceremony

We got married at the Woodland Park Rose Garden back in June and the team went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Unfortunately, we had pouring rain which comes with its own set of complications, but the events team was amazing, they helped us navigate the weather and make sure guests were comfortable. The bar we set up in advance of the ceremony was such a nice touch that our guests loved and the staff we're fantastic. Pre wedding the team was super responsive to all emails and were very helpful on the venue walk thru. Can't recommend this place and team enough.

Simple and Easy

We had a beautiful wedding, followed up by a meet and greet with a lovely porcupine. It made our day extra special. We had a great experience. Great customer service. I would highly recommend this vendor team.
