The San Diego Zoo is reopening today! Everyone dreams of a fairytale-like wedding surrounded by those you love, but what if you were surrounded by safari animals?! The San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido can make it happen! Who knew you could sip cocktails and dance the night away next to baby giraffes and cheetahs? Your guests can truly make a day out of it by exploring to their hearts content before witnessing your "I dos."
As a venue that has it all...catering, bar & rentals in-house along with gorgeous backdrops for ceremony, cocktail hour & reception, not much decor needs to be brought in as the space really speaks for itself! Between the lions, tigers, bears (oh my!) and all that is included, all you really need is love.

With 10 different venues to choose from, all unique and truly exotic, the options are endless. From the panoramic views at the Kijamii Overlook that are reminiscent of African plains to experiencing an Indonesian getaway with Sumatran tigers streaking about. Give in to the scenic beauty and enchanting atmosphere for the most instagram worthy photos. Each venue offers something special that you and your guests will cherish forever!
Every corner you turn at the Safari Park is an opportunity to take memorable, one of a kind photos. Say I do with giraffes galloping in the background and elephants parading about. Take some shots at the Tiger Trail or with Flamingos standing tall and pretty. Since you will want to maximize your reception time with your beloved guests, a "First Look" is recommended prior to ceremony to take advantage of all the cool spots the Safari Park has to offer and not miss out on all the fun.
