My husband and I were lucky enough to find that the Pagoda was available two months before our wedding after our first venue had a scheduling conflict. Our wedding was on new years day and we could not have been more blessed to have this space available to us. We had about 115 guests at our wedding and were able to do the ceremony and reception indoors at the Pagoda. We even were able to do the rehearsal the night before for about and hour. It turned out beautiful and we loved how flexible and helpful the attendants at the Pagoda were.

All of the staff at Metro Parks were wonderful to work with. The location was opened earlier than we expected, and things went so very smooth with our wedding ceremony outside at the flagpole area, and the reception inside the Pagoda. If you have the ability to wait for the right day for you and have the funds, we highly recommend this venue!

The Pagoda at Point Defiance Zoo and Park was a very beautiful place for our summer wedding! We were married in front of the Japanese Garden and Pond. Our wedding reception was both inside the Pagoda and outside with views of Mount Rainier and the Puget Sound. Our wedding guests were very touched by our wedding ceremony location and enjoyed the sights and sounds of our wedding reception location! The Pagoda staff were very helpful and friendly and we would highly recommend this location to anyone for any event! Thank you so much! :)
