Your rental time includes your set up, ceremony, and photos in the North Garden. Couples are also welcome to take photos in the Palm Dome during their rental time. Please note that the Palm Dome remains a shared space. Other Conservatory gardens are not available during North Garden rentals.

Guests enter through the Historic Entrance of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, where coat racks are available in the foyer. Restrooms are conveniently located just outside the Palm Dome.

Because the North Garden is an intimate space, we provide up to six chairs for seating. Remaining guests are welcome to stand during the ceremony.

Upon request, we can also provide a table for a guest book or unity candle.
