Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The Water's Edge venue is positively awe-inspiring. You'll be transported to a coastal village setting with two underwater tunnels featuring polar bears, sea otters, and elephant seals that wow guests as they enter and exit the spacious and elegant event room.
- Dine next to exotic fish and sip tropical drinks at the aquarium. A lush rainforest, waterfalls, and brilliantly colored aquatic life from around the globe make a remarkable backdrop for your reception—and photo memories.
- Their packages include shuttle service from the zoo entrance to the indoor event spaces, food and beverages from Taste catering, tables, chairs, and linens. Plus, you might just get the opportunity to pose with a fuzzy, furry, or slinky creature.
