Suppose you’re on the lookout for an original, memorable ceremony and reception venue, complete with manicured gardens, a playful atmosphere, and idyllic photo locations. In that case, you may want to consider a Perth Zoo wedding.
This beautiful wedding venue celebrates nature, and is a perfect place to say ‘I do’ if you love spending time with magnificent animals — and if you don’t. Indeed, while a big draw for many couples is the fantastic photo opportunities with exotic wildlife, Perth Zoo has much more to offer than that (although a wedding photo with a giraffe cannot be overlooked).
Indeed, Perth Zoo is also a favourite among couples who fancy themselves foodies, with this leading Perth venue partnered with Fresh Events, an award-winning Perth catering company that’s just been crowned 2021 Caterer of the Year. Their meals are positively exquisite, with presentation and flavour at the heart of everything they do.
In addition to sublime meals, Perth Zoo prides itself on its breathtaking gardens, beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, and elegant reception space, offering couples an adventurous ceremony and traditional seated dinner.
“We had our ceremony and photoshoot in the Japanese Gardens at Perth Zoo. It is a beautiful setting and gave our ceremony the relaxed feel we wanted. The staff were all very friendly and helpful both on the day and in the planning stages.”
What you’ll love about working with Perth Zoo for your Perth wedding:
- Delicious, substantial fare. Perth Zoo partners with 5-star catering company Fresh Events, so naturally, the wedding menus and dishes on offer are absolutely mouthwatering and full of flavour.
