Testimonials

The following are some of the kind words that we have received from couples who have married at the park and their guests:

3 August 2012

"We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved at Monkey World for making our wedding day perfect. There is not a single thing we would change about the day.

Everyone's hard work really shone through, especially your super organisational skills which meant that we could relax and enjoy the day completely care free! Mike was lovely on our tour of the park, even helping out in sorting out my trail for the photographs when the rest of us were a bit clueless!

When we told people we were getting married at Monkey World, some were unsure about our choice. I'm proud to say that all of our guests had a fantastic day and really enjoyed our wedding Monkey World style. We have fond memories of the day which will last a lifetime, and each time we watch Monkey Life we can't help but smile. Thanks again for making our day so special."

"Now the dust has settled and we've adjusted to married life, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again for giving us such a memorable and magical wedding day. Everything was perfect and we wouldn't change a single minute. Shelley, Charlotte and all the staff were so friendly and laidback, and yet incredibly professional and well practised. Though we may have had the usual bride and groom nerves and jitters, you and the team instilled us with so much confidence and really helped to make us feel relaxed, so we could enjoy every moment of our special day.

All of our guests said it was, without doubt, the best wedding they had ever been to, and even now people are still taking about the wonderful food! The catering team did a fantastic job, and this is obvious as most of the pictures the guests took feature the food more than us. The Watering Hole and all the wedding area looked amazing; the decorations and flowers were simply superb.

The scatterfeed was such a unique experience, we can't believe that on our wedding day we were lucky enough to throw fruit and vegetables into Paddy's group. And as it was immediately after the ceremony, it was a great way to loosen up and celebrate our first few moments as husband and wife.

We'd also like to give a big thank you to Mike for his special tour. Although we knew we were going on a ride round the park, we weren't aware that it would be such a personal and incredible experience. Truly unforgettable, thank you Mike, it meant so much to us.

Lastly we'd like to say how privileged we feel that we were able to tie the knot at Monkey World. It was quite simply a dream come true to have our wedding at such an auspicious venue. We feel so lucky, and there aren't enough words to say how grateful we are to you Shelley. You made our day extraordinary, and you are an absolute star. Thank you."

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding a truly unique & memorable experience. Everything was perfect, the park, flowers, colour scheme, delicious food, twinkly lights, friendly members of the Monkey World Team and even the weather blessed us! We want to do it all over again!

After the ceremony, being allowed to scatter feed the primates in Paddy's group was a rare treat, and another one of many highlights of the day. Of course for Emma another highlight was meeting Jeremy whilst on the tour with Mike, she even managed to steal a couple of kisses from him!

The meeting room was dressed perfectly with thoughtful finishing touches added from the recent gala dinner. It was everything and more than we had imagined it would be. The tour with Mike was thoroughly enjoyable, his presence drawing the primates closer allowing us a more intimate and personal encounter.

We can never thank you enough for all that you did for us in making our day special in every way. Monkey World always has and always will be close to our hearts. We're both looking forward to returning in July for the 25th Anniversary celebrations!"

"Pippa and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Monkey World, without doubt we couldn't have had a more fantastic wedding day.

The facilities and ceremony were superb and the food, well all I can say is that without exception every guest who attended has since said they have never seen a buffet like it, my own parents commented that the food because of its perfect presentation was almost too good to eat!

The primates were wonderful, particularly Peppa who kept blowing kisses at everyone and Gamba entertained everyone with acrobatics and general fooling around throughout the ceremony.

Feeding them all was such a privilege and something we will both remember for the rest of our lives, in fact the day had such an impact on some of our guests that one of the couples are now deciding which of the monkeys they now wish to sponsor!

We would also like to make a special thanks to Charlotte and Shelley, whose organisational skills were great, we really didn't have to worry about a thing, the day ran like clockwork, and also a big thank you to Mike, his guided tour was wonderful and his knowledge and passion for the primates was lovely to see!

If you are even slightly considering getting married at Monkey World then let us assure you, it's a decision you won't regret and all the guests thought the whole day was amazing and totally unique, commenting that they would bever forget our wedding day and for all the right reasons!

See you all again soon on our anniversary!"

"We are writing to you today to thank you for making our Wedding day extra special by having it at Monkey World.  From the moment we arrived at Monkey World till the moment we left we were made to feel special and part of the Monkey World team.

It was such a magical moment to feed the primates and we will remember that for years to come.  What a privilege it was to be chauffeured around by Mike on the beautiful decorated golf cart and to see first hand the bond he had with the primates.

Everyone has commented on how wonderful and tasty the buffet was.  The room was well decorated and the flowers were perfect to match the bouquet.  Our guests were all taken in by the primates and their stories and I think you have got a few more friends and adoptive parents for Monkey World.

So once again we would like to thank you all for such a special day and hope to be visiting again soon."

"Thank you again so much for organizing our wonderful day.  We are really proud to have been married at Monkey World and will never forget how special our magic day was.

Thanks to all the staff that helped make it happen!"

"We have just returned from a fantastic honeymoon in Turkey and now want to say a very big thank you to all of the staff at Monkey World who made our big day so very special.

When we booked our Wedding we had no idea what to expect as it was certainly going to be a wedding with a difference.  However, we can now say that the whole day exceeded what we had hoped for.  Every aspect of the day was handled very professionally and the Buffet was out of this world.  The flowers/decorations were perfect too as was the whole experience.  We have had numerous guests comment on it being the best wedding they had been to.

As you might imagine, we are left with some truly memorable and magical moments not least the antics of Paddy and his group.

Thank you once again and we will see you again soon."

Mr & Mrs Croasdell

Everyone truly enjoyed it.  We are now having a great time on our honeymoon in Cornwall.  Hope to see you again soon, thanks so much!"

"We just wanted to write and say thank you and congratulations for such a n amazing wedding on Friday - it was such a fluid, relaxed and unpressured experience for us as guests and we were so impressed with the way you all handled it and how well it was planned and executed.

We will definitely be telling everyone we know what a brilliant wedding venue it is."

"Dear Mrs Cronin,

Sorry for the delay in writing this letter but our thanks and appreciation are no less deeply felt.  We all had a splendid day at the celebration of Anna & Dan's marriage - and a lot of this was due to the great effort of all the Monkey World staff.  Please convey our thanks to all concerned - especially to Shelley for all her time and effort.

It is good to see your work on TV, in what looks like a new series (Anna highlighted it for us on her last visit)."
