Planterra Conservatory | The Best Michigan Greenhouse Wedding Venue
After getting engaged, choosing a wedding venue is one of a couple’s first tasks…it can also be overwhelming. The venue sets the tone for the entire event and is the key to transforming a dream wedding into a reality. As a Michigan wedding photographer, I’ve had the experience of being a part of numerous wedding days with my couples. If you’re looking for a breathtaking venue with greenery and a conservatory near the Detroit area, I highly recommend The Planterra Conservatory.
About the Planterra Conservatory
The Planterra Conservatory is a breathtaking botanical garden wedding venue and event center. Planterra isn’t just a beautiful greenhouse venue though, they also offer full service planning. The team is exceptional at customizing the space to make each wedding day unique for their couples.
Founded by the Sanders family in 1973, the Planterra Conservatory first began its operation out of a private greenhouse in the Bloomfield Hills area. Staying true to its Detroit roots, they offer a selection of local culinary and beverage menus favorites at the Conservatory.
Location of the Planterra Conservatory
When selecting a wedding venue, location can be an essential factor. Planterra Conservatory is located in West Bloomfield Township, just a little over 20 minutes from Detroit. Planterra is an ideal location for couples planning an elegant Detroit wedding. Guests will swoon over this botanical garden wedding venue just outside the Motor City!
Planterra Conservatory Wedding Pricing
Planterra’s Facility Fee for a wedding reception includes 5 hours of venue use. Events that go beyond 5 hours incur an additional fee of $350 per hour. Tables, early access to the grounds, use of the private green room, and venue coordination are all included in the rental. If you also want to host your wedding ceremony at the conservatory, the ceremony rental and labor fee is $1,250.
Planterra is not just a stunning greenhouse wedding venue, it also has an award-winning culinary team and is the exclusive food service provider at the Conservatory.
