But perhaps one of the things that we
at San Diego Woman Magazine love
most is that by holding your wed-
ding at the San Diego Zoo or San
Diego Zoo Safari Park you can truly
feel good about your choice. Not only
will the beauty, professionalism and
uniqueness of the Zoo and Safari Park
enhance any wedding, but couples will
feel better knowing that the proceeds
from their event will help to save rare
and endangered animals across the
globe. San Diego Zoo Global is a non-
profit organization and its conservation
arm, the San Diego Zoo Institute for
Conservation Research, has research-
ers working on more than 100 con-
servation projects in 35 countries. It’s
a perfect way to start a marriage – by
giving back!

director, Lee, was wonderful in his knowledge of the animals and I
came away feeling as if I had actually traveled to a foreign land for
a true to life safari. Additionally, the photographer in me loved the
outrageous close up shots that will soon be blown up to adorn the
walls of my office.

Beyond the wedding, the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari
Park offer true excitement for couples and their wedding guests. At Brides, Your recipe for
the Zoo, there are behind-the-scenes tours where participants can
feed a rhino, giraffe, camel or even a flamingo! At the Safari Park Smiles and More
guests can board a safari vehicle that journeys right into the huge
field enclosures and hand-feed giraffes! Thrill seekers can soar
down the Safari Park’s zip line, called Flightline Safari, and view
the animals from a completely different vantage point. Weddingman.net

If you are looking for a venue that is unique and a wedding that will
leave your guests talking about it for years, you must consider this
