Awarded Best of Zola
We had our reception at the Elmwood Park Zoo in April 2024 and it was the best venue we could have asked for. We’re both huge animal lovers and knew we needed a space to accommodate a very large family, so EPZ was a great fit. We worked with Becky for most of the process and received amazing service! The events team made sure everything was taken care of before, during, and after the reception. As for the guests, our families LOVED the zoo and so many of them made sure to tell us how much fun they had! Additionally, they were very LGBTQ friendly! If we had to do it all over again, we’d definitely pick EPZ over and over.
