What can you expect from Yorkshire Wildlife Park?
For weddings with a wonderfully wild twist, couples can choose one of the region's most unforgettable venues, Yorkshire Wildlife Park. This incredible setting boasts panoramic views across the animal reserve, and gives couples the opportunity to have some very special guests in their big-day photos!

Parties can spend hours exploring and getting up close to feed the lemurs and giraffes. The venue is also home to some of the most endangered species in the world including Amur tigers, leopards, polar bears and lions.

Time to celebrate!
Couples can tie the knot in The Outlook Suite, which can be dressed to suit any style and boasts incredible vistas across the park. The newlyweds are then invited to have their photographs taken at one of the reserves while their loved ones enjoy drinks and canapés in the tropical Caramba Gardens or on the lawns.

After this, the Tsavo Lodge marquee is perfect for wedding receptions. It's available with African-themed décor or with a starlight ceiling, glittering drapes and spotlights.

We love...
As well as being a memorable location, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is multi-award-winning and has an experienced team of event specialists on hand to make sure everything is meticulously planned to perfection.
