Woburn Safari Park, Woburn, MK17 9QN

Experience a wild wedding like no other, right in the heart of Bedfordshire.

At the heart of Woburn Safari Park you’ll find the Woburn Estate’s most unique wedding venue, The Safari Lodge.

Providing an exceptional location for weddings and receptions, Woburn Safari Park is the perfect wedding venue for animal lovers, and those of you wanting a truly unique experience to share with your guests. Some of the wilder residents could even work their way into your special day!

Overlooking both the Swan Lake and the Desert Springs enclosure, The Safari Lodge provides an undeniably out of the ordinary backdrop for your wedding and your guests may even be able to spot some of the nearby animals, including meerkats and otters, as they look out across the park.

The Lodge can be set up for ceremonies, dinner and dancing, with the option to have reception drinks served on the newly extended private veranda upon arrival. The adaptability of the venue also means that you can personalise your day further by choosing from a range of alternative dining options, from barbeques on the terrace, to three course banqueting.

For a truly adventurous addition to a day that will no doubt already be unforgettable book a Safari Drive, an exclusive VIP safari experience, an elephant encounter, or a leisurely boat ride on Swan Lake.
