SAY I DO WITH A VIEW

Quality Events provides bespoke catering and event management services to couples looking to celebrate their love amongst the enchanting surroundings of Adelaide Zoo. We work across multiple wedding ceremony and reception venues within Adelaide Zoo so couples can choose the perfect setting that aligns with their vision. We take great care of each of our couples, managing all the details from the initial inquiry, menu selection and styling to event coordination on the big day.

​

Our venues are unique spaces that offer the perfect backdrop for you to celebrate your commitment to each other. Say “I Do” amidst our lush botanic gardens and spend your reception surrounded by our lush Asian forest next to our Sumatran tiger and orangutan exhibits. Or perhaps you'd prefer to say “I Do” beneath our Sir Thomas Elder Rotunda and spend cocktail hour in our charming giraffe courtyard.

​

Regardless of your and your partner's preferences, if you're seeking unique wedding venue hire in Adelaide that is guaranteed to make your celebration a memorable one, you've come to the right place. Additionally, if you're looking to add more adventure to your special day, we also offer packages featuring unique animal experiences, such as tiger and giraffe feeding, wildlife walks, and more.

​

As part of our combined philosophy, Quality Events, as well as Australia Zoo, practices sustainability and implements environmental practices within every one of our functions. This commitment is woven into the fabric of our event planning approach and Adelaide Zoo as a whole, so you can have confidence that every aspect of your event is handled with the utmost care for quality and the environment.

​

At Quality Events, we're passionate about highlighting the best South Australian produce and wines at every event we host at Adelaide Zoo. Our extensive menu selection of local goodies can also be tailored to suit your taste buds or adapted to suit the style of your wedding reception.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you have any questions about our catering or event management services, explore our range of frequently asked questions below. Otherwise, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll be more than happy to speak with you!

Can I outsource a different caterer?

Adelaide Zoo exclusively partners with Quality Events to provide catering services for all on-site weddings and events. Because of the zoo’s commitment to maintaining high standards of service and food quality, outsourcing to a different caterer is not permitted.

​

Fortunately, Quality Events offers a wide range of menu options, including canapés, plated meals, buffets, and specialty dietary menus to suit the diverse needs of your guests. We won ‘Cater of the Year’ in 2020, 2021, and 2022, so you can have confidence and peace of mind in our ability to provide delicious food and exceptional service to you and your guests. 

​

Please explore our wedding brochure for detailed menu and beverage options, or contact the Quality Events team to discuss specific preferences and dietary needs.

​

Are tables, chairs, linen, cutlery, and glassware included in the packages?

Absolutely, venue hire includes furniture, table linen, crockery, cutlery, glassware, and all the required staffing. If needed, a microphone, speaker, and projector are also available upon request. If you have any special requests or additional requirements, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Are there any restrictions or guidelines regarding decorations and setup?

Adelaide Zoo and the Quality Events team have specific guidelines regarding decorations to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals and the preservation of the zoo's natural environment. Please note that the zoo does not permit disposable decorative items such as paper confetti, balloons, glitter, scatters, party poppers, straws, plastic plates, plastic cutlery, and plastic cups due to their potential risk to animals.

​

However, rose petals and bubbles are permitted on the central lawns, providing a lovely, eco-friendly alternative to disposable decorations. It is also important to note that smoke machines and fire/pyrotechnics are also not permitted on zoo grounds. Please ensure your wedding decorator or stylist is aware of these guidelines, and feel free to ask any questions you may have with our event management team.

Do you have recommendations for vendors and entertainment?

Absolutely. The Quality Events team has been in the business for a long time and will happily provide you with a list of our favourite vendors and service providers. These include our favourite florists, celebrants, photographers, bands, etc.

What kind of entertainment is permitted at Adelaide Zoo?

This is dependent on the type of wedding package and function space you and your partner choose. For example, DJs and acoustic and band entertainment are only permitted in the Sir Thomas Elder Rotunda and indoor conference centres. Any such entertainment must be coordinated and approved by Zoos SA and Quality Events prior to booking.

​

Please note that noise restrictions are in place, particularly in the vicinity of animal exhibits and other quiet areas. If you have any questions about noise and entertainment guidelines or restrictions please don't hesitate to discuss these with the Quality Events team.

How long do I have the event/reception space for?

The event and reception spaces at Adelaide Zoo are typically available for a set period, often around 5.5 to 7 hours. This set period is based on the package and function space you choose. If you require additional time, it may be possible to extend your booking for an additional fee, subject to availability.

What are the parking arrangements for guests?

Wedding guests have access to zoo parking all along Plane Tree Drive, which can be accessed from Hackney Road. If it is an after-hours function, the gate will need to be opened by Zoo security at your agreed-upon time of arrival and departure of your guests. If you are hosting a larger event, we recommend shuttle services for your guests.
