October 2018

Taronga Centre was the perfect venue for us. The top to bottom full glass window views from the room were a stunning iconic Sydney backdrop. We absolute loved our photo & video shoot in the zoo! Was so much fun! We also loved working with Kylie & Nichole. They are very experienced and have been very helpful responsive throughout the entire process from beginning till end. Even when we were still considering they gave us time and space to do this. They’ve been flexible and easygoing, and they’ve gone above and beyond to help us with our wedding. This assured us that everything was in great hands and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you so so much ladies for your wonderful assistance!

Highly recommended! Beautiful venue with a breathtaking view. Great food and excellent service from the wait staff - everything ran so smoothly.

Taronga and their staff were amazing! I cannot thank Brooke enough, she was amazing from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much hassle. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony in the Gili Rooftop and our reception in the N’Galawa Terrace, the views are absolutely beautiful. We have had so many people say how amazing and beautiful our venue was. Even some have said they want to get married there! The food and drinks packages were very good value. The food was great!
