Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
Read More Show Less- You can have a tropical setting, year-round! The Conservatory’s soaring, glass-enclosed Atrium Lobby features lush foliage, exotic orchids and even burbling brooks—and it can be yours exclusively after visiting hours.
- Here, along the Rock River’s banks, you’ll also find a host of outdoor venues. The Rose, Waterfall or Teahouse Garden each offers its own charms for a serene ceremony or colorful reception that’ll make your wedding photos stand out.
- You can even exchange vows or enjoy cocktails in one of their exhibition areas. Say “I do” surrounded by butterflies or brilliantly plumed birds, then raise a glass of bubbly beside the tiki hut or outside on the Riverview Terrace.
