About

For animal lovers, adventurers, couples who love to be in nature, and those looking to do something that they and their guests will never forget…

Dartmoor Zoo offers a truly unique wedding experience and venue in Devon’s stunning Dartmoor National Park. Surrounded by 33 acres of gardens and fascinating animals, getting married at Dartmoor Zoo promises to deliver a fantastic experience for everyone.

Our beautiful ceremony room, with original wooden floor and fireplace, creates a perfectly intimate atmosphere, accommodating up to 50 seated guests – but we can host larger ceremonies too! Large Winter ceremonies are held in our light and spacious Jaguar Restaurant. Large Summer ceremonies are held in marquees in the heart of the zoo surrounded by luscious greenery and enclosures that house some of our most exciting animal residents.

Why not seize the opportunity and book an animal experience after the ceremony for a wedding photo like no other! There is a choice of exclusive couple experiences, as well as experiences your whole wedding party can enjoy.

From buffets to barbecues, to a sit down three course meal. You can be certain that Dartmoor Zoo can cater to all your specific needs with our flexible catering packages.

Winter receptions and Summer receptions both offer ample space for 80-120 guests with their own dancefloors, bars, and facilities to suit everyone. Perfect for an evening of celebration.

From your first initial consultation through to the big day, our team will be fully devoted to exceeding expectations. Our dedication and eye for detail ensures you and your guests leave with happy memories to last a lifetime.
