Franklin Park Conservatory

The Franklin Park Conservatory was an amazing venue for both my daughter's ceremony and reception! The ceremony was in the Grand Atrium in front of the chihuly exhibit, which made for an amazing back-drop. Our caterer then flipped the room so that we could have the reception there as well. All of the bridal consultants were very easy to get ahold of and very responsive to my many questions throughout the process. Unfortunately it rained the day of and we had to switch gears for the cocktail hour, since the original plan was to be outside on the Zen Terrace. The FPC team pitched in to make this happen in the Veridian room instead. Eliza was our bridal consultant for the day - she had lots of great suggestions at our walk through and she did a nice job keeping us on schedule throughout the day. I would highly recommend the Franklin Park Conservatory, you will not be disappointed!

This venue speaks for itself. Just visit FPC and you will know its a magical place. What isnt obvious is the quality of the staff at FPC. These folks took our wedding and made it into a perfect day. Calm, organized, wonderful staff makes all the difference on wedding day. A special thanks to Brandon, Colleen and Eliza for making our dreams come true. Highly highly recommend!

I LOVED IT!!! This is a must do if you are planning on having a wedding in the Columbus, Ohio area. The scenery and establishment screams class and sophistication. If this is what you are wanting, you would definitely love this place. Family and friends were in AWE. Thank you Franklin Park Conservatory.

Great Place to get married! You have your own wedding cordinator that works with you one month before the wedding. They also do a great job the day of the wedding to make sure you stay on track, and they work with the caterer,dj and photographer to make sure everything goes smoothly. Natalie Wolf helped me with my wedding, she is awesome!I had my wedding August 21, The Palm House is not air conditioned so if you don't want to risk the heat then I would get married October-April. Otherwise they have air conditioning units you can rent for 100$ ea. they help a little bit. Me and all my guests still had a blast dancing even though it was a little stuffy. If you get married in the Palm House you feel like you are getting married in the rainforest! It's beautiful! =)

The Palm House at Franklin Park is an amazing place to hold a dream wedding. Our theme was a "garden party" wedding, and the plants/palms/flowers made a beautiful backdrop for the reception. The service was great too - everyone we worked with was so helpful in helping us to have the perfect wedding day.

Franklin Park Conservatory is one of the most gorgeous spaces in Columbus. It is costly, but for the most part, is worth every penny. Also, money can be saved by having an afternoon or Sunday wedding, which is one of the reasons we had our wedding on a Sunday. Also, the staff at FPC are very knowledgeable and since they are basically a wedding factory, they know what they are doing. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and memorable for our guests, and we couldn't recieve more compliments. The weather even cooperated for our outdoor ceremony on the West Terrace, and our reception in the Palm House. There are two things the FPC staff do need to work on: flexibility and communication. There are many, many rules at FPC and the staff are very unwilling to budge on them. They are many fees, many excessive, should you break any of the rules. I will say there were a couple of issues we had that they were flexible on, but it took much convincing to get there. Also, we were miscommunicated to regarding the price (they wanted to charge us a Saturday night rental rate even though we were on a Sunday, just because it was during Labor Day weekend, without telling us before) - they ended up adjusting the room rental but never the beverage minimum. Overall, I would recommend FPC to others because the day of the wedding, everything was absolutely beautiful and our day went very smoothly.

Loved the venue's look. Was absolutely satisfied with the picture places all over the venue. Really too expensive of a venue for just having only a ceremony though. Would recommend to others.

The Franklin Park Conservatory does a lot of weddings and they really seem to know their stuff. We chose the West Terrace for our ceremony and then had the reception in the Palm House. Everything went perfectly the day of, which is clearly a benefit of having a location that knows their stuff when it comes to brides.

Venue is beautiful. My personal coordinator was WONDERFUL!

My only complaint is that they aren't really concerned with your wedding until it gets close to the actual date. They do a lot of weddings, so your wedding isn't really a priority until it is almost time to walk down the aisle!!!

Although I did not care for many of the people that worked there, I did really enjoy my personal coordinator.She was wonderful, helpful and calm the day of my wedding. The venue was beautiful and it made for some great pictures.My only complaint is that they do a lot of weddings, so you aren't really a priority until it gets closer to your wedding. We didn't do a lot of the planning until about a week before the wedding. It made me very nervous.Overall, there were many issues with my wedding and different vendors, but not with Franklin Park.

We got married in the Garden Pavilion and it was gorgeous. We received so many compliments about how great everything was. Everyone also loved the free tour during cocktail hour.

It is so beautiful here. It was out of our price range but we fell in love with it and made cuts elsewhere because I could not picture getting married anywhere else after going to the conservatory. It is a unique place and we are unique people. The Palm House is where we had both our ceremony and reception. All areas of the convervatory are beautiful though. You can not possibly have more great photo ops than there are here. It is costly, but we feel it was worth every single penny. We got married on a Sunday to save money and forgo the bar minimum.

All I can say is that the atmosphere and scenery of our ceremony and reception area was the only reason why we stuck through it all with Franklin Park. We rented the Palm House and in the sunlight, it was absolutely beautiful. But we did run into a few snags along the way. There was a marathon event going on that morning and we made sure when we booked that date that there was nothing else going on - wouldn't you believe it, we didn't find out about the marathon until a couple days before. We also had planned out for the dressing rooms to be in a certain area way in advance. Well about a week before the wedding, they moved us to these small bathrooms - which wasn't a huge deal, but it was just the fact that they seem unorganized and not very knowledgeable about certain things until the last minute. All in all, it was a great place to have our wedding and I would choose that place again if I had to do it all over again.

We have DJ'd several weddings here, and they are always the most elegant and magical!
