A celebration as significant as a wedding deserves a setting that feels just as special. Melbourne Zoo Events offers a unique wedding venue in Melbourne, with spaces that are immersive, alive and shaped uniquely by their surrounding landscapes.
With photography options ranging from the quiet beauty of the bamboo forest to the delicate atmosphere of the Butterfly House, each backdrop brings its own tone and charm. Whether you’re planning an intimate garden wedding in Melbourne or a larger reception in a light-filled function room, our team works with you to shape a day that feels personal, seamless and entirely your own.
Melbourne Zoo Events offers a selection of outdoor wedding ceremony venues, each set within its own unique natural surrounds. Options range in capacity from 52 to 240 guests and include spaces framed by cherry blossoms, fig trees and garden beds alive with butterflies. Every detail is thoughtfully arranged by our events team.
Onsite Ceremony must be accompanied by a Reception, this venue does not allow only ceremonies.
Our Melbourne wedding reception spaces combine character and flexibility, from light-filled indoor venues to garden-fringed terraces. With capacities suited to both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, each reception space offers something distinct. Our team works closely with you to tailor the atmosphere, catering and flow of the day.
Elevate your wedding photos to a new level of opulence. We offer a variety of striking backdrops, including centuries-old gardens, wildlife habitats, our famous carousel or a one-of-a-kind experience: feeding an animal-friendly bouquet to the giraffes! Our diverse range of photo locations are a favourite among couples looking to capture the spirit of their special day.
Our wedding packages are designed to bring everything together – ceremony, reception, catering and coordination – so your day feels seamless and enjoyable from start to finish.
Options include seated banquets or cocktail-style receptions with seasonal menus tailored for summer or winter weddings. We also offer a range of pre-wedding experiences, including bridal showers with high tea or a vibrant animal experience. Every element is considered, with flexible inclusions to suit the tone and scale of your celebration.
Each space within the Melbourne Zoo has its own character. Between the secluded charm of the Bong Su Room, the lush surrounds of the Rainforest Room and the open terrace at Leopard Lodge, our Melbourne wedding venues offer a mix of atmosphere, flexibility and detail – all set within one of the city’s most iconic locations.
