Rachel Sent on 08/19/2025Perfect wedding venue
We worked with Brevard Zoo for our wedding venue on Aug 9 2025 and we could not have been happier. From the first meeting, they were responsive and attentive to us. On the wedding day, they showed up early, stayed organized, and kept everything stress-free. Our guests are still talking about how great our wedding was. We would 100% recommend to any couple looking to get married to have their wedding at Brevard Zoo. They truly made our big day unforgettable. -

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 -

We had our wedding booked with the Zoo through Erin for May 2020. She assisted us with the initial postponement due to COVID and handled our eventual cancellation.
Although we were unable to have our event there I would recommend them to anyone. Erin was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly helpful in navigating any issue and very responsive. The venue itself was also very flexible. I hope that we will be able to host or attend an event with them in the future. -

Our wedding at the Brevard Zoo was perfect! We saw Giraffes during the ceremony and the venue was beautiful! Erin at the zoo made working with them so easy, and I highly recommend Brevard Zoo to anyone else who is looking for a venue! I can't wait to get the photos from my photographer of how great everything looked! It was completely perfect! -

Having our wedding at Nyami Nyami Lodge at Brevard zoo was the best wedding decision we made. The venue is breathtaking and so unique. Everywhere you look it’s lush green, surprise animals, just a stunning location! Everyone at the zoo is incredibly kind and helpful as well. Even with Covid going on they made our day safe and special. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding perfect. Event Specialist Erin Gracie was always so quick with emailing us and was a big part of making our day so smooth and beautiful. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue! -

I am so happy that I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Nyami Nyami River Lodge. The setting was gorgeous and the cost was very affordable compared to other venues I had checked out. To make the day even more special and memorable we opted to rent an animal to entertain guests before the ceremony (an alpaca) and during the cocktail hour (cockatiel). Our guests had a wonderful time and were complimenting our choice of venue. The wedding director/coordinator at the zoo, Erin, was amazing and so attentive. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is unique and gorgeous, I highly recommend you having it at the Nyami Nyami River Lodge. -

Cindy Sent on 05/28/2019The BEST Wedding Venue
The Nyami Nyami Lodge at the Brevard Zoo is absolutely the BEST place to have your wedding and/or reception. The scenery is amazing (giraffes as your backdrop...Hello!!) with plenty of room. The interior can be as casual or as elegant as your vision (and budget) allow. And best of all, Erin Gracie, the Event Coordinator, is absolutely a JOY to worth with. She is soooo helpful and always quick to respond to any question you might have. (Trust me, I asked everything you can think of.) She will offer recommendations, suggestions, thoughts...whatever you ask for, she will provide! -
