Hello,
I am writing to see if it would be possible to do a family photoshoot for about an hour on Monday, December 20th. I realize it is last minute, but it would be great if possible. Looking forward to hearing more details.
Unfortunately we do re quire two-weeks notice for us to book anything. We also have multiple events already that night.
What’s the closest budget hotel to you ?
The Best Western at Bandana Square is pretty close and affordable.
How much is it to have my photographer take a photo at the zoo. Such as a garden. I thought it used to be a $60 rights to photograph?
Is it $200 just to have a photographer on the premise? When I had my wedding 2015 I just had to pay a fee for the photographer permit.
It is currently $200 for 30 minutes during the week and prorated based on our wedding prices on the weekend. We are not accepting posed photography in the Conservatory during our business hours at this time.
Hi! I would like to reserve the garden with the image above for the 22nd of April around 5-6 PM? We are trying to get our prom pictures and would love the venue!
The earliest we can rent the garden would be from 6:30-7:00pm as we have to stay open to the public until 6:00pm. It would be $317 per half hour on April 22.
My fiancée and I wanna reserve a time slot for 30 minutes or so during a weekend, how much would that run?
It would be prorated based on our wedding prices for the garden you are interested in.
How much would it be for a 30 minutes for a photo shoot and how much for a 1 hour photo shoot. These are for wedding photos.
It depends on the day of the week you are interested in and the garden you are interested in. Pricing ranges from $200-334 for 30 minutes. Anything longer than 30 minutes would be prorated based on our wedding prices. To book a space you would have to contact us at comoweddings@ci.stpaul.mn.us.
Can I reserve the fern room for 4 hours? Can I bring food? Can my dog come with? He really likes moss.
The Fern Room is only rented with the Covered Porch. All food and beverages do have to go through our caterers. Dogs are not allowed inside the Conservatory.
As a photographer who regularly shoots proposals and Engagement sessions at Como Zoo, I absolutely recommend it! It’s a gorgeous and intimate space and you will get the most gorgeous photos!
