Winner
The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo
A wedding at The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo promises a roaring good time. The zoo is able to host small, intimate ceremonies, as well as large bashes of up to 350 people. Couples can choose between four venues, such as the Eurasian Gateway Tent, which offers a lush, garden backdrop, and the rustic-chic Grazers restaurant. It’s also a venue you can feel good about supporting, as revenue aids the zoo’s animal-conservation and research efforts.
