Whipsnade Zoo (ZSL)

"We chose the zoo for our wedding to provide a slightly more informal, unusual and family friendly setting.... and it delivered on all counts! We had such an amazing, fun and beautiful day which we will never forget. So many guests commented on what a great venue it was and the kids all had so much fun with the space to run around freely in the garden in a safe environment, leaving the grown ups time to have some fun themselves. All the kids, young and old had an excellent treat on the train trip too! The help and organization on the day was spot on and we couln't have asked for more. Anyone looking for a fun location for a real family fun wedding should look no further!"

ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, located near Dunstable and surrounded by the breathtaking Chiltern Hills, offers a unique location for a couple’s special day.

Ceremonies are held in stylish suites holding up to 400 guests for dining, and these break out onto elegantly maintained lawns and terraces. Photographs with our animals can be arranged, providing stunning pictures to savour forever, and a vintage steam train can even whisk your wedding guests off on a memorable expedition within our 600 acres of beautiful parkland. We have also just launched a 1.5 hour ‘Sunset Safari’ package which consists of a 30 minute drinks reception for guests, followed by a Safari Bus ride around the Zoo.
Our award winning chefs will happily work happily to your catering brief or alternatively, we have panel caterers available for specialist cuisines.

By holding your wedding with us, you will see all profits go to charity as you will be directly donating to the global conservation of critically endangered animals and their habitats.
