I just had my wedding at Brevard Zoo in January 2025, and it was absolutely amazing. I worked with Liz, the Assistant Events Manager, and she was professional, and wonderful to work with. She made very precise calls to guide me through when the weather changed for the worse. I couldn\’t have asked for a better team. 10/10
