Whipsnade Zoo Wedding

Posted by Barney Grosssman + on June 27, 2011

Saturday night I had the privilege to play at Peter and Emma’s Wedding at Whipsnade Zoo. Having never done a Wedding (or any other party) at a zoo before I was quite excited for this one.

Wedding Venue: Whipsnade Zoo

Upon arrival I was greeted by Alex, the day time event coordinator, who was very helpful and hospitable (thank you for the meal!). The room was fantastic; chair covers, a black and white dance floor, white draping across the 2 ends of the room, and the ceiling. It was going to be a great wedding!

The Wedding Cake

I set up my equipment just in time for the wedding guest and wedding party to arrive. But just with enough time to take a few pictures and get a picture of what is one of the most fun looking wedding cakes I have seen.

Custom Wedding First Dance

The wedding breakfast was served, whilst I had a bit of free time to wonder around the zoo (although I didn’t stray too far I still managed to see some reptiles, sea lions and giraffes). Back in time for the speeches, of which I recorded the grooms for a little trick I had up my sleeve for the wedding first dance. After the speeches, the wedding guests got a bus tour around the zoo, during which time I edited the first dance and put all the wonderful things that the groom said about his bride – their reaction (in the video below) speaks for itself!

Overall it was a fantastic day, a brilliant wedding, filled with party animals (sorry couldn’t resist). I’m back at Whipsnade zoo fro another wedding shortly, and will certainly be looking forward to it!
