The Riverbanks Zoo and Garden offers plenty of variety in an exotic, upscale environment. Weddings on the Zoo side feature a gorgeous ceremony location in the middle of the zoo. Receptions take place in the elegant Ndoki lodge. You can even take portraits with some of the animals! At the Botanical Gardens, you can have your ceremony overlook the nicest gardens in the Midlands, with superb landscaping and water features. The receptions are indoors where it's comfortable, and there's plenty of space that's easy to decorate!
