Dan + Lauren’s Summer Wedding at the Toledo Zoo

October 2, 2023

Dan and Lauren’s Toledo Zoo wedding was full of sunshine, joy, and unforgettable moments. From their emotional garden ceremony to a dance party by the aquarium, every part of the day reflected their excitement to be married and share the celebration with loved ones.

When I asked what they were most looking forward to, they said, “We just want a day full of laughter, fun, and real moments.” And that’s exactly what they got.

One of the standout moments? Feeding giraffes with their guests during cocktail hour, only something a Toledo Zoo wedding can offer.

Lauren’s quiet tear during the ceremony and Dan’s smile when he saw her were just a few of the moments I’ll never forget. It was a perfect mix of heartfelt and fun, a wedding that truly felt like them.
