Anyone Had Their Reception at the Elmwood Park Zoo?

Hi, everyone! I am looking at the Elmwood Park Zoo as a possible site for our reception of ~120 people. Has anyone had their reception here or been to a reception here? I'd just like to know if you would recommend it and any pros/cons related to the venue. Thank you!

I am having mine there next weekend, August 16th!  I will update everyone on how it went and share some pictures!

Pricing was less than most venues we looked at, especially since the price is the same for a Saturday.

My wedding was Saturday!!!  My mother and aunt decorated the ceremony area, but I know they kept the chair covers and the color of the flower and bow can be changed!  There's a bunch of different places you can choose from to have the ceremony.  The reception was amazing.  All of the doors slide open and you feel like you're partly outside.  We set up the bar outside and the people that didn't dance still felt completely part of the reception.  I had the best time!!!

If anyone wants more pics, let me know!  Highly recommend this place!
