Has anybody done a wild animal theme?
I am thinking about having a petting zoo and possibly some other animals for the reception. I am also contemplating using these 3 150 gallon fish tanks that I have for a marine exhibit during the cocktail hour. We also talked about entering riding two lama or donkeys, were not sure yet. If anybody has any ideas please respond. Thanks

Re: Has anybody done a wild animal theme?
We aren't doing a wild animal theme, but we have a bunch of leopard print stuff incorporated because of our cats... I would be nervous about live animals, though. I don't know that adults would be into a petting zoo, and I worry about the animals at that sort of thing. Many people who have them don't treat them well. You could certainly have a lot of fun things to make it a jungle theme... Let me know if you want me to post 'jungle theme' pics - not sure if that's really what you had in mind or not!

Re: Has anybody done a wild animal theme?
I actually went to a wedding where the bride and groom came in on donkeys. i dont remember the significance but they alsi had a small petting zoo for the kids. Actually it was sad, a duck lost its life from a child playing too rough. it was really sad. Im not sure i like the whole idea. some people are allergic.

I'm allergic. If you decide to do it, inform the guests so they are aware.

Did you clear all of this with Jericho Terrace? I only ask because I doubt they would allow it considering they host more than one wedding at a time. Probably also because of something to do with animal rights laws and such.

Interesting...somehow I don't think a hall like JT would allow a petting zoo at the reception. Better come up w/ another idea.

The petting zoo would be unique...:) I think we all agree on that.

Has to be a joke.Too many stairs in JT for anyone to arrive by any kind of animal. Even for the Oak Room.
