Testimonials

Weddings

Amanda and Chris’s Wedding, 1st September 2007, Mappin Pavilion

Firstly, a big thank you to you and the zoo for organising and hosting what was a fabulous day for the both of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Everything was first class and the feedback we had from some of our guests was also very positive indeed. We did not know where the time went on September 1st. Our guests certainly enjoyed the Reptile House as a drinks reception venue. A number of people commented on the uniqueness of the venue.

We certainly will recommend any of our friends to get married at the zoo as it was superb.

Joyce and Derek’s Wedding, 2nd February 2008, Mappin Pavilion
"Thank you for all your help in making our event so memorable - the venue looked amazing and the food and drink were great. The guests loved the "animal encounters" and seeing the bears being fed. Thank you to all the ZSL staff who worked to make it a great event with the minimum of stress for us."

Kris and Mark’s Wedding, 3rd March 2007, Mappin Pavilion
Thanks for the day! It all went brilliantly. Everyone has said what a fantastic day they had and we couldn't agree more. …we couldn't have achieved the day without you guys and your levels of support and care are truly wonderful.

Everyone has mentioned the Komodo Dragons and how fab it was. Your serving team was second to none and no-one wanted for anything, the food was superb and all served hot and scrumptious! ... your team is a big credit to you!

You really gave us and our guests a day to remember. I will certainly recommend this as a venue for anyone who asks and even those who don't!!! Fantastic fun had by all. Huge huge thanks, what a fantastic way to start married life!

Summer Parties

Visit London Client Summer Party, 12th July 2007, Gorilla Kingdom
Thank you…to your teams for making our Summer Party such a huge success! Lots of happy smiling faces, lots of compliments especially about the venue and the catering, plenty of “I really must come back to the Zoo” comments – which of course was part of the point; oohs and aahs galore for gorillas, tigers, llama, owl and skunk…..Most of all, it was a total pleasure to work with such committed and flexible professionals. It’s quite rare to be able to enjoy one’s own event with the responsibility on one’s shoulders, but I certainly did last night, Thanks again guys – you did us proud.

Lunches

E-on Awards Lunch, 12th December 2007, Prince Albert Suite
“I just wanted to send you an email to say a big thank you to you and your colleagues for your hard work and excellent delivery for our Awards event on 12th December. Everyone in your team from the relationship managers to the waiting staff were helpful, friendly and professional. I hope that we can work with you again in the future and I would have no hesitation in recommending London Zoo as a venue to other organisations.

St. John’s Ambulance/Various Events, 2007
The whole day ran very smoothly and everyone had a great time and seemed to really enjoy themselves. In all the years we have used the Zoo I have only ever received positive feedback. Don't forget to mention how good the food is.
