Fun right!

The Calgary Zoo opened in 1929 on St. George Island and is run by the Wilder Institute, a leading international authority in wildlife conservation. Accredited by the rigorous standards of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Calgary Zoo is a charitable organization focused on protecting habitats and promoting sustainable living.

It’s a venue that’s very us, we hope you enjoy it!

Please search for your name in our RSVP platform and fill out the accompanying details. The RSVP deadline is June 1, 2026.

Calgary International Airport (YYC) is a major hub with direct flights available from the UK and most major US cities scheduled regularly throughout the day.

The zoo is just east of the downtown core where there are many hotel options with varying price points. For those looking for a locally-owned option, we recommend Hotel Arts.

If you’re looking to make a lil vacay out of your trip, we’ve compiled a little guide for you here.

If you expect to stay in the city, lots of downtown Calgary is walkable and well-connected to the train and buses. The zoo has its own train stop, but is also accessible by taxi/Uber. If you’d like to explore the wider city and surrounding areas, like Banff, you may want to consider renting a vehicle.

If you’re renting a car, Oliver has a discount code for Enterprise, so get in touch with him for more details!

The name of each invited guest is listed on your invitation and individually the RSVP platform. Additional guests cannot be accommodated.

We regretfully cannot accommodate children at the venue, please make our wedding a parents date night. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Our dress code is formal, we just ask that dress wearers choose something other than white.

The ceremony will be outside, while the reception will be held indoors. At this time of year, we expect the weather to be sunny and warm (likely between 12-20ºC during the day), however it will get cool at night.

We do!

We will have both the ceremony and reception at the Enmax Conservatory, at the centre of the zoo between ‘Destination Africa’ and ‘Exploration Asia’, #17 on the virtual map.

Our ceremony will be hosted outside and the reception indoors. Both areas are directly adjacent to each other.

The zoo is accessible by car, taxi/Uber, train, and bus. If you’re staying downtown, we’d recommend the train, but if you’re outside of the core we’d recommend a taxi/Uber dropoff and pickup.

If you’re planning to drive and have a bevvy or two, parking is $14 and you can park overnight.

TO BE FILLED OUT

TO BE FILLED OUT

We’ll be treating everyone to a celebratory glass of sparkly and a bottle of red and white wine for each table. The bar will be serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the event and accepts cash and card.

After the ceremony, hors d'oeuvres will be served during cocktail hour followed by a multi-course plated dinner. Oliver is most excited to announce that there will also be a late night snack with a Canadian delicacy — poutine.

If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know in your RSVP.
