    always provide somewhere to sit as well. Drinks receptions outside in the sun are often better if you can sit somewhere, have a table for drinks and somewhere in the shade is even better.

    Thanks everyone.

    We are having a drinks reception of bucks fizz/sparkling wine and fruit juice for the non drinkers so I suppose this will keep them occupied - I suppose I just felt bad for abandoning everyone as soon as we get to the hotel.

    Potentially they could buy tickets into the zoo at a reduced group rate, but its a large zoo and they wouldn't get to look around much in the time it will take to do our photos, the zoo will only allow the immediate wedding party in for free (we are annual pass holders so I think its a special favour for that really).


    Group photos will be taken on the grassy woodland area at the hotel, but it has limited scope for couple/wedding party shots which is why we wanted to have a few more interesting ones done in the zoo.

    I'm not sure what a videobooth is, I'm assuming similar to a photobooth, we'd decided to probably not do that unless we can set it up with my digital camera somehow - its so expensive to hire a booth!
    We got married at a zoo, all the guests had access to the zoo for the whole day - most had about 45 mins before the ceremony and about 90 mins between ceremony and meal. It was gorgeous day but most just stayed in the bar area chatting - specific zoo entrance money would have been a waste of time!

    We didn't provide any official entertainment. We had an inside and an outside area and arrival drinks and everyone was chatting and catching up, talking about the day so they all seemed to be entertained by themselves :)
