Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Reviews

The zoo is such a great backdrop for a wedding. Everyone has such a blast and enjoyed being able to interact with some of the animals. The food was amazing and the staff was excellent. We had to push back our wedding from 2020 to 2021 due to covid and I felt that the Zoo helped us make that an easy transition. 10/10 would recommend

An amazing venue, amazing staff and everything went amazing. Perfect place to marry the man of my dreams. #Phannah

I highly recommend the Cincinnati Zoo for weddings. The staff at the zoo were amazing to work with and took care of everything for us...it was like having a wedding planner without the extra cost.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that will offer your guests an unforgettable experience, then the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is the place for you! You get a beautiful venue, amazing food and beverages, and some very special animal guests. If I had to do it all over again I would do it the same way at the zoo!!

We absolutely loved our wedding at the zoo. When trying to decide on location, we knew we wanted to stay in the Cincinnati area and were also hoping to have wedding events (ceremony, reception) outside if possible. We lucked out and had a beautifully sunny day which allowed us to do everything outside and get some great pictures but had the weather not cooperated, we appreciated that the zoo had a lot of indoor options. The staff was also very helpful and responsive. There was not a single request that we had that they were not willing to work with and pull off for us. We felt like they went above and beyond with helping us set up our reception (for a very small reasonable fee) by making it look even better than we expected. They allowed us to drop off our decorations several days in advance and pick them up days after the wedding, making that one less thing for us (or our family/friends) to stress about around the wedding.
