Congratulations Alex and Craig! This incredible couple tied the knot at the zoo last year, and just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary! From their handmade centerpieces themed around different games and stunning D20 Dice card box, to a borrowed arch from a friend’s wedding decorated in colorful flowers, there was so much love that went into every detail of their special day.

Are you looking to host a wedding like no other at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo? Our in-house catering team has the culinary and professional expertise to make your wedding unforgettable! A wedding at the zoo sends a message about your love for nature, conservation and the environment. Best of all, proceeds benefit our animals and support the zoo’s mission.
