Around every corner awaits a unique experience. Follow your tour with an indoor reception at our ‘Lions Lair Party Pavilion’. No part of your special day will be ordinary at Big Cat Rescue.

| “We didn't want a big, fancy or traditional wedding ceremony but we did want it to be memorable for ourselves, our family and our friends. Our *wedding consultant* Barbara was always available to answer any questions that I had along the path. We had friends from as far away as Finland come for our wedding. Everyone had a great time and we so enjoyed the walking tour afterward. What a wonderful experience! From the Guinea Hens to the Tigers, they all assisted in making our day so special. THANK YOU Carole, Barbara and all the volunteers of BigCats for providing this service for us. We so appreciate your sharing BigCat Rescue and your wonderful animals with us so that our special day became not only special but unforgettable. Bobby and Susi Kirkpatrick Lakeland, FL |
