A perfect venue that doesn’t require any further decorating!

The Bloedel Conservatory was the most perfect and intimate way to have our ceremony. Not only were staff very communicative and timely with answering questions, but the venue itself is perfect for any couple looking for a unique and memorable event space.
We invited our guests to come in before the ceremony and it set the mood for an adventurous night. Everything from the tropical plants, lighting and birds at the venue were stunning and that’s without us doing any setup or decorating! So anyone looking for a venue that is in itself a showstopper, this is the place!

Amazing Location & Staff for our Wedding Ceremony!


We were absolutely delighted with our experience. The team was incredibly responsive and transparent, making everything straightforward. We felt completely at ease, and everything went smoothly, contributing to our wonderful wedding experience. The location was perfect for both the ceremony and wedding photos, and our guests praised it as well.

We wanted to stick to our budget, and Bloedel made that possible while still providing a stunning venue. We are immensely grateful for that. Plus, it’s a place we can always return to and cherish the memories of our special day.

Wedding Elopement

We were looking for a venue for our wedding elopement ceremony with a handful of our family members. Bloedel was the perfect space that captured our love of natural surroundings, and felt like a “destination wedding” at home. We didn’t have to worry about the weather as we were inside the tropical dome and it would be beautiful and warm regardless. It was an amazing experience, the planning process went so smoothly and Lindsey and Maria were great at answering our questions so quickly. On the morning of everyone was so helpful and ensured everything went on time and as planned. Our photos will be apart of our most cherished memories. Thank you to the entire Bloedel team :)

Beautiful Venue

This conservatory holds a special place in our hearts as we had one of our first dates here four years before our wedding. Communication with them was great, and everything went well.
While the venue is stunning, one thing to remember is that it is a bird conservatory! If you book here for your day don’t expect them to be silent during your ceremony. We and our guests found it hilarious and loved every minute of Blanca squawking through our vows and we wouldn’t of changed it for the world.

Perfect for a small party

Booking a date with Bloedel for our small wedding was super easy and very worth the money spent. This venue was beautiful and we got some beautiful photos of the space with all of our family.

We are going to come back as regular visitors to enjoy the moment again.

October wedding ceremony

We had our ceremony at the end of October in the conservatory and it was amazing! Our guests loved coming a little early and getting to see the birds and plants and it was a beautiful spot for pictures. Because of the time of year and when the sun set the conservatory did get darker than we expected. But it had a really cool ambiance and made the ceremony feel more intimate.

Wedding 2024

We had been to the conservatory a few times previously and loved it, so we were extremely excited to see they offer the space as a wedding venue! It was definitely affordable compared to other places and it was just perfect. You don't even need to bring your own decor because the beautiful flowers and foliage are your decorations! The staff were incredibly attentive and responsive when communicating. So friendly and welcoming as well! One gentleman greeted us with a cockatiel on his arm!
Birds were flying around us and we were even graced with a loud screetch from the African grey parrot!

Such a great experience to be able to wander inside the conservatory when it's closed to the public. Such a beautiful place and it made for absolutely lovely memories! Definitely recommend this venue to others

Magical venue

Bloedel is amazing. It is full of nature and plants so you don't have to decorate it. It is warm and indoors, so you don't have to stress about weather. It is convenient to get to so it is super easy for you and all your guests.

Everyone had a wonderful time and thought it was beautiful.

We did dinner at seasons in the park after, which was super convenient (and delicious).
