Weddings at Dartmoor Zoo in Plymouth | The most amazing wedding venue in Devon

DZPWeddingsDartmoor Zoo in Plymouth, Devon, brings together the perfect concepts for your dream wedding day in a venue that is perhaps slightly more interesting than the rest...

A manor house in the country...

  • As a fully licensed venue, you have a choice of two beautiful locations for your civil ceremony, right in the heart of the zoo. Goodamoor House is one of only a handful of venues in the country to offer an outdoor wedding choice, so the magic will start the moment you walk down the aisle...

A unique venue...

  • What could be a more magical backdrop for your wedding than a collection of exotic and amazing animals set in 33 acres of beautiful woodland? Your guests will be entertained all day as they are free to explore our wonderful park.

Incredible food...

  • Here at Dartmoor Zoo we can cater for any type of food. Whether it be BBQ's, Hog Roasts, 3 course meals or anything else, we can tailor the menu to suit you.

An amazing evening...

  • We have a large, flexible reception room for the evening celebrations and all of your guests (up to 400 if required). Room enough too for a band to play and we have a purpose made dancefloor too. We have a fully licensed bar and plenty of parking for all. We can even arrange coach transport if you need it.

    What people say about our weddings:

    "The whole day and evening was fantastic thank you.It was nice that your staff all seemed to build a rapport with the guests making it a bit more personal and not as if you were there just to do a job and go home. The food was delicious and everything was well organised.

    All in all a wonderful evening. I'm really glad we chose to have our reception at your zoo and meeting Benjamin in the evening was a bonus too!!


    Thank you very much for all of your help." - Stacey

     

    "Thank you so much for all your help over the past few weeks and with the wedding, please pass on my thank you to all of the staff who were all so polite and couldn't do enough to help us, you have a great team there." - Jenny

     

    "We had the most wonderful wedding ceremony in the Main House. The reception was held in a large room next to the restaurant. The setting was better than perfect. But what really made our day special was the attention and kindness we received from the staff. They were incredible. Naomi, the event coordinator was exceptional and made sure everything went smoothly. The zoo managers bent over backwards to make sure we received extra special viewing of the animals, especially the Tigers. The whole day was perfect from start to finish." - Mark Forrester
