Fort Worth Zoo Reviews
We had our ceremony and reception at the Portraits of the Wild gallery. The ceremony was out on the deck overlooking the bongo/crowned crane exhibit while the reception was inside the art gallery. Both areas are beautiful and everyone had a great time. The animal show in particular made it really memorable. Not to mention the price was much more reasonable than I expected for something this nice! If you aren't looking for a typical by-the-numbers wedding, I highly recommend having your reception and/or ceremony here!

We had both our ceremony and reception at the Fort Worth Zoo. The ceremony was held on the deck outside of the Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery and it was beautiful! The reception was inside the gallery. We had the Wild Wonders Animal Presentation, where the WW staff brought around 4 animals to each table during the reception. We got to pose with the animals and all our guests thought it was so cool and unique to have animals at our wedding. The Zoo catered the food and we got so many compliments on it! The staff was wonderful and they made sure everything ran smoothly. I loved this venue because it was beautiful and unique.

This venue had everything my husband and I were looking for. We used the Portraits of Wildlife Gallery at the front of the park. It is a beautiful venue with a circular indoor gallery space and a large outdoor patio. They take care of so much and were so nice. I reserved the space a year in advance and they helped walk me through a lot. They took care of catering and coordination with my vendors. The food was fantastic! We requested southern comfort food and they delievered. It was a hit with the whole crowd. Another hit was the Wild Wonders Show. The Wild Wonders Show is where they bring out animals from the zoo to take pictures with the guests. It gave a great piece of extra flare to the whole event. I highly recommend them and hope you look into this amazing venue!
