Sun Valley is an incredible wedding venue. With just going through a major renovation project and being newly-owned, it has exceeded expectations with couples and vendors! Multiple of our DJs have performed there for weddings and have had nothing but good things to say. It's a hidden gem in Chagrin Falls, Ohio and the views are priceless. The team is so great to work with and have done such a great job with everything!

When we toured the venue, this location was so beautiful and checked off every box for us, but what really sold us was the staff and Kaylie, our wedding day coordinator, who were all so helpful in making our big day a reality. They have some amazing vendors that frequent and already have a great relationship with the zoo that made the day run with ease, and to top it all off have animals and a giraffe feeding during cocktail hour was a hit. So many of our guests made a point to mention how great of a time they had, some saying it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. Thank you so much to the Columbus Zoo events crew for memories of a lifetime.
