Because who wouldn't want to get married and have a party amidst all of the wonders of the animal world? I wouldn't suggest for the summer, but we had picked our date (Mid-October) and thought the animal smells wouldn't be that bad. Maybe a whiff here or there.
After searching around for the right person to contact, starting with the Wildlife Conservation Society, patched through to the Central Park Zoo, I finally got in contact with Jacqui Dauphinais, Reservationist, Catering and Events Services (718)741-3836 at the Bronx Zoo. Helpful and full of information. In fact, I'm not sure why we didn't go with the Zoo other than we feel in love with the place we ended up booking.
They have a variety of packages and things you can do, including a cocktail reception, which is what I intended to do in the beginning. A cocktail reception with a cash bar starts at $50 per person with 10 hors devourers, go for their basic bar feature and you will add $27 pp. In fact, I'm really seriously shaking my head wondering why we didn't pursue this. If you do sit down dinner, one nice thing they do offer for a sit down dinner are centerpieces for all the tables. I've never been offered that before.
Elephant House! They no longer house elephants, by the way.Could do something fun with this print, ala save the dates (if i was doing save the dates)

I LOVE the zoo and I wanted to have a NY wedding so bad (from PA). Too expensive though. I really enjoyed this zoo, I never thought about getting married here. That would have been fun, and way cheaper than my current place.
I am kicking around the idea of getting married at the Bronx Zoo. Can you send me the price info you have?
Sakura, what is your email? I still have the package info.
I am looking to get married at the zoo. Could you send me the package info if you still have it please. My email is Castaldo_j@yahoo.com.

I've been shopping around for wedding venues and the zoo definitely piqued my interest. But it's very hard to get pricing or pictures for that matter. I would very much appreciate if you could share those package stats.:)
sure, just leave your email address in the comments.
ladulcera@yahoo.com Thank you! It's been kind of difficult getting a hold of someone at some of these places. I really appreciate it!

I am currently a sales manager with the Bronx Zoo and handle most of the weddings. It would be great to update this information as it is VERY out of date.
If you want information regarding the zoo, please call or email.

The Bronx Zoo is an AMAZING Venue for a Wedding! I’m working with quite a few Brides for” Day Of” and Flowers. The site fee is very affordable compared to a NYC Venue.
Where else can “Talk to the animals!” at ones wedding? It’s the perfect venue for a Vegan, Veterinarian or any Animal Lover!
It is truly a unique Guest experience. Any on can feel good about helping a Non-for Profit.
Its truly a Wedding Mitzvah /Tithe
It sure beats going to another banquette hall!
