Wow! My husband and I wanted to find a venue that was all inclusive, and we found the perfect one. Our experience was amazing! We had a large bridal party and wedding group with ov...er 180 people. The whole wedding process to book and plan was easy. They have a payment plan, and three scheduled meetings before our big day. We had a tasting, design, and final run through. Heads up: In the all-inclusive you get basic items and decor, but if you want to upgrade then there are extra charges. We did choose to upgrade on some items like chargers and some tables with glass table décor with twinkly lights. Even with the basic items, they are classic looking, and the team works with your budget! I only DIYed on items like table numbers and bar signs but that was it. We paid for the extra outdoor package with drapes, hanging flowers, and the archway in our wedding floral colors. Beautiful! My cascading bouquet was stunning. Our biggest take away was for our guests to enjoy the drinks, dance, and enjoy the food. All three were raved about the most! First, our wedding day of coordinator, Linda, and DJ, Scott, were a dynamic duo. Linda was patient, attentive, and on it. She was always checking on us throughout the night, and we never felt rushed or bothered. Scott was an awesome DJ! We are music snobs from various genres of Yacht Rock during cocktail hour to 90s-00s pop/ hip hop for dancing. He took our overwhelming list of song suggestions and mashed up a great playlist. So many compliments on the music. He also got married there in years past, so he wants to ensure you have the same magical time as he did there. He kept the dance floor full the whole night.
The food is AMAZING! We got the roast beef, parmesan chicken, mac-n-cheese, mushroom risotto cake, and green beans. The charge was so affordable and worth it to go with a third side. They worked with our gluten free guests as well with sauces and sides. Guests wanted to know if they outside cater because the food was just that good. Our venue partners with Confection Perfection for our four-tier cake. Our guests are still raving about our flavor choices, chocolate chip with cookie butter and buttered vanilla with salted caramel. We did not do any design upgrades, and our cake was still elegant and beautiful. We did the open bar, and it was so worth it. The bartenders, two young ladies, were the sweetest and so personable. They worked the room, and so many guests said that they remembered their drink orders. They were quick and efficient. They made sure everyone was taken care of and having a good time. True pros, and I wish I could thank them again in person. We knew the bar would be packed, and no one complained about waiting or not getting what they want. The rest of the staff was also fabulous. They were all friendly and attentive. We could not recommend The Conservatory more enough. They made our day special and memorable.
