We have shot at the Calgary Zoo numerous times, and it’s always a blast. What we hear from clients is that they love the photo spots, and also the price is on the more reasonable end for wedding venues.
There’s really no need to leave the zoo for photo spots (view this link to see what I mean – click on Noevie & Rhett), but to get something a little different, there ARE some great places around that you can visit
- St. Patrick’s Island
- East Village
- Downtown Calgary
- Rundle Ruins
- Reader Rock Garden
So, enjoy this video to get a sense for the available spaces and grounds. Further examples of photos and spots can be found in one of our complete wedding slideshow.
Welcome to the Calgary Zoo, one of the most unique and unforgettable wedding venues in the city. Here, nature and celebration come together in the most unexpected way. You can say I do. Surrounded by lush gardens, exotic backdrops, tranquil sounds of the bow River and maybe a VIP appearance by one of their peacocks. The zoo offers several elegant spaces, from ballrooms to intimate outdoor settings, each beautifully designed and maintained their in-house catering team delivers amazing food and service, and every corner offers incredible photo opportunities. Couples love how easy it is to transition from outdoor ceremony to indoor reception. If the weather changes and it’s all just minutes from downtown. You will never have to worry about what to plan for an anniversary date. The Calgary Zoo continues to over deliver an exceptional experience year after year. It’s an adventurous yet timeless choice that perfectly blends fun, sophistication and natural beauty.
