We had our wedding at the Santa Barbara Zoo last month and wow, it was a total DREAM. Angie Chaves was our coordinator and she is hands down the best person you could have overseeing the most important day of your life. Not only will you have the most turnkey experience planning at the zoo (they have almost everything you need to have an event here and they've done it a million times so they KNOW what they're doing) but the Sb Zoo is not your normal zoo, it is one of the most gorgeous places you can get married at in SB. Our guests raved about the whole experience and how unique it was. Best day ever. Thank you Angie for keeping everyone on time, worrying about all of the big (and small!) things and making sure we had the perfect day!!!!
