Monica and Jamie were geniuses and celebrated their wedding at the Philadelphia Zoo! The photography and DJ were provided by PartyMasterz! The venue was something different but it was also beautiful and classic at the same time. It was a great way to celebrate the warm weather and everyone had something to do!
The night started with cocktails in the PECO Primate Reserve. The log-cabin design makes it feel like we're coming back from a safari, and all around the room are glass exhibits featuring primates like orangutans and gorillas! The theme is that you are entering an abandoned logging camp out in the wild, it was one of the coolest reception concepts I've seen :)

Most of the reception was at the Rare Animal Conservation Center. This area was a gorgeous glass exhibit for all of the most endangered animals at the zoo. Animals like the Golden Lion Tamarin and the two-toed sloth had their own exhibits. Even with all of the animal exhibits in the room it still felt big and comfortable.
The conservation center also highlights the different conservation projects and scientific research that the zoo is helping to fund. It was great to have the reception in this room, because hosting a wedding at the zoo is a big contribution to these projects! It almost felt like a big 'thank you' from the zoo and it felt really special to be celebrating in that room.
Keep an eye out for the full highlight video of Monica and Jamie's amazing wedding coming out soon!
