Experience of a Lifetime
If you want people to talk about your wedding, and call it the coolest wedding they've ever been to, Tanganyika is the best place to get married. Being able to include animals in the festivities was a huge hit. We had 5 animals come visit during our cocktail hour, and it really helped keep guests busy while we did last minute photos (and snuck in a private dinner).
The team here really knows how to keep events on time and they do a great job of communicating with the rest of your vendors. Beyond the cool atmosphere, the team really just knows how to help wherever you may need it.If you want people to talk about your wedding, and call it the coolest wedding they've ever been to, Tanganyika is the best place to get married.

Just what I wanted for my Wedding
Tanganyika was a wonderful venue for our wedding!! Connie, the event planner, was very helpful and always responded very quickly. Connie was able to make any last minute changes happen without making you feel like you’re an inconvenience. She always had a smile on her face and just made you feel very comfortable. She went above and beyond especially after finding out my parents tested positive for Covid-19 and would not be able to make my wedding so she pulled strings and arranged for a videographer for the ceremony so my parents could still watch it. We picked a penguin as our animal ambassador and it was the cutest thing having it walk down the aisle. I would highly recommend Tanganyika to everyone.Tanganyika was a wonderful venue for our wedding!! Connie, the event planner, was very helpful and always responded very quickly.

Beautiful and helpful
The entire Tanganyika team made our wedding so wonderful! We had a penguin go down our aisle and multiple animals visit! Our guests were able to go into the Park which saved us money on having the bar open later while we finished our photos up. Ami was fantastic with being available when we needed her and she stayed the entire day! I helped my best friend plan her wedding somewhere else and couldn't believe how much more Ami would do. She even took out the trash! My guests couldn't stop talking about how magical Tanganyika was and my grandma called it the "Disney" of Kansas. You should definitely consider getting married here!The entire Tanganyika team made our wedding so wonderful! We had a penguin go down our aisle and multiple animals visit!

The best choice we made!
Tanganyika was an absolute dream! Ami and the staff are wonderful and made our big day absolutely magical! We had a penguin walk down the aisle!! 😍 Plus we felt great about helping out a great cause! With COVID and all the craziness, we were thankful to have such a versatile venue, plus a way for guest to keep the kiddos entertained. We could have asked for a more perfect day!Tanganyika was an absolute dream! Ami and the staff are wonderful and made our big day absolutely magical!

Responsive and Happy to Help
We worked with Ami this year and she was awesome! Not only did she know how to calm me down when I was feeling a little anxious, but she was super easy to work with! We loved our venue and the staff was super helpful! If you love animals and you want to work with knowledgeable, trustworthy people, I would definitely recommend Tanganyika!We worked with Ami this year and she was awesome!

Saved the day!!
My husband of 20 years and I had been planning our dream wedding for so long that when Covid threatened to not only ruin our wedding once but twice I was broken. The first time we postponed and the second time our venue canceled but I wasn't giving up. We love TWP and spend many weekends with our kids there, we even shot our love story there so when we got the cancel notice a month before I called them. They have an amazing event coordinator Ami and she set us up to come look that evening. We got there and it seemed meant to be. They didn't hesitate to take on all our craziness and they worked well with all our vendors. We wanted the fairytale and they delivered. From chandeliers and draperies too a sloth greeting guests at our cocktail hour too making sure we had room for all the extras I wanted. They really did come through for us and I will forever be grateful! They made our day WONDERFULLY AMAZING!! Thank you so much Matt, Ami, and the entire staff that helped make our dream wedding happen!!My husband of 20 years and I had been planning our dream wedding for so long that when Covid threatened to not only ruin our wedding once but twice I was broken.

A lovely day enjoyed by all!
The venue as wonderful. Ami was incredibly helpful and the guests had a blast visiting the park on the day of the wedding. The only negative Is that the aisle is difficult in heels. I would recommend that they use pavers or fill in the gaps between stones. That is minor though. I loved Tanganyika!!!The venue as wonderful.

A Wedding Dream Come True
Tanganyika was amazing to work with! Taylor from Tanganyika made it so easy to plan our wedding and she made it run so smoothly. She sent monthly updates to keep us on track and was super sweet the whole time. Tanganyika is also so beautiful and you can have the ceremony and reception all in one place. I highly recommend!Tanganyika was amazing to work with! Taylor from Tanganyika made it so easy to plan our wedding and she made it run so smoothly.

I am SO happy we chose Tanganiyka for our wedding & reception venue! The team was fantastic to work with, the park is beautiful, and our guests had a great time. TWP is especially great if you anticipate having a lot of kids at your event- they definitely get a kick out of seeing and interacting with all of the animals. Taylor Clark (event planner & coordinator) was a huge help that day as well- thank you for helping make our day unforgettable!I am SO happy we chose Tanganiyka for our wedding & reception venue!

Tanganyika Wildlife Park
I had the pleasure of being the Day of Coordinator for my Step Daughters wedding held at the Tanganika Park Venue June 1st, 2019. The grounds were beautiful, the animals were magical, and the venue staff were superb. Working with Corey and his team was a seamless process. Corey and Emily were pleasant, always attentive, patient, and eager to help. This special day was highlighted by the ambassador animals and their presenters. Everyone was courteous, professional, and flexible. I fear you can’t put a price on their assistance through the whole process. We can’t thank you enough. The Bride and Groom are so happy and that is priceless.I had the pleasure of being the Day of Coordinator for my Step Daughters wedding held at the Tanganika Park Venue June 1st, 2019.

I very much enjoyed my venue and am so glad that I chose them. They were truly there for us every step of the way in whatever capacity we needed and very easy to work with. I loved the interaction with the animals for a unique wedding day experience. I would do it all over again!
