Franklin Park is one of the most beautiful wedding venues. We got married in early November in the Palm House and our friends and family are still raving about how beautiful the space is. From the very beginning Taylor was SO responsive and sweet, answering my 100s of questions throughout the planning process. Sarah kept up the same level of customer service as we neared wedding day. We truly appreciate how helpful the whole team was in the planning process. Even though there was an event at the conservatory at the same time, the team did a great job keeping the public out of our reserved spaces. I know they have renovations planned for the Palm House so I can't speak to the future of the space, but it was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process. Highly recommend. 

Franklin Park was an absolute dream location for our wedding! We rented the Palm House for a morning and evening ceremony as well as an evening reception. Everyone at FPC was so organized, attentive to detail and in sync with the other vendors. Allison in sales was wonderful to work with as she helped us book the Palm House. Our venue coordinators, Brooklyn and Lauren, in particular helped make the wedding day smooth and seamless. The Conservatory was breathtaking and our guests loved being able to explore the biomes at FPC during our cocktail hour. We can’t recommend it enough!

I wish I could give this venue a thousand stars. We love the Franklin Park Conservatory and have always enjoyed coming here. We had our ceremony and reception in the Palm House and Wolfe Terrace and I cannot recommend it enough. It was absolutely stunning. Guests kept commenting on how breathtaking it was. You barely even need decor and we were able to go light on the flowers (which created a lot of extra room in our budget) since the Palm House is so beautiful by itself. The venue is incredibly affordable considering how beautiful and friendly the event space is. We worked with 3 different wedding coordinators there throughout my time (not due to turnover, just different staff assisting with our wedding) and each one was so helpful and extremely quick to respond. To be fair, we had a small wedding (35-40 guests) so I am not sure how things would scale up; if you are having a large wedding, you would probably still want a wedding planner and not just to rely on the coordinators here. But if you are having a small wedding like we did and are an organized person, they will take care of you just fine, no planner necessary!

Very pretty and accommodaty. Great for pictures

We had our December 2021 wedding ceremony and reception in the Palm House with our cocktail hour in the Veridian. It was absolutely spectacular and beautiful. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for a winter wedding, allowing our tropical dreams to come together with holiday festivity. The coordination team was fantastic, and we can’t thank Allyson enough for making sure that our day was perfect from start to finish! She helped us along every step of the way to make sure that every detail was covered. There is no better venue or team out there!

We had our ceremony in the Wolfe Terrace and reception in the Palm House. Our coordinator through FPC was Sarah. She was fantastic, upbeat and made sure our wedding and rehearsal flowed at a great pace. She was involved when necessary and behind the scenes the rest of the time communicating with our team of vendors. Her communication and organization leading up to the wedding was perfect and she was open to helping make all our wishes come true, or find replacements, even when COVID caused Columbus to implement a mask mandate again just a few weeks before our date. We would recommend them to anyone!

Looking back on our wedding (just one week ago!), my husband and I are so overjoyed we booked the Palm House at the Franklin Park Conservatory for our Wedding Reception. The space is so beautiful and our guests loved it. Our guests had access to the entire conservatory from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm; and our reception finished around 11:30. There was a small fee (~$150.00) to have the butterfly exhibit open as well and it was absolutely worth it. Unfortunately it was cold and raining on the day of our wedding reception and we couldn't use the outdoor terrace space attached to the Palm House. Thankfully, we were able to use the enclosed bonsai-tree garden space instead of the terrace, which is just as lovely. We decided to have our reception catered by the Franklin Park Conservatory and I'm very happy and grateful we did. We threw a "heavy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails" style reception. We primarily worked with Lauren Miller in deciding our reception menu, flow of the evening, what we were going have as passed hors d'oeuvres, what was going to be served as stations, how much to order etc. Lauren was extremely knowledgeable and clearly very experienced in what she does. Lauren was excellent to work with and helped us tremendously in planning our reception. We received many compliments on the food we served and Lauren made sure to set some food aside for my husband and I to ensure we got something to eat. Maria, our wedding co-ordinator, was also very accommodating, easy to communicate and work with and was a tremendous help! I can't say enough good things about our experiencing planning our wedding reception at Franklin Park as well as the actual main event itself. Everything went so smoothly and we are very pleased with the end result!

Franklin Park conservatory did an outstanding job for both our ceremony and reception. They were incredibly organized and efficient and really helped me in the planning process. They set up all my decor just as I asked and it looked so beautiful. They were easy to work with and very insightful. They made my vision come to life and I couldn't have asked better people to work with and I fully trusted them to make my day everything I had dreamed of. The day went so smooth because of their guidance and organization, I still have guests talking about how fun and beautiful the day was. Specifically, Lauren Miller and Caitlin Mashhadian made my planning process a breeze and kept the day running smooth. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone was so impressed. I highly recommend this venue not only for the beauty of it but the AMAZING staff.

We had visited a couple other venues for our wedding but as soon as we walked through the doors of the Wells Barn we knew this is where we would hold our wedding. Air conditioning was a requirement for our June 16 wedding and we are so glad the Wells Barn is air conditioned because we certainly needed it that day. Sarah was our event coordinator and Molly was our catering coordinator and they were quick to communicate any changes and always wanted to confirm details to ensure our event ran smoothly. The space was everything we were looking for with the lawn for our ceremony and transitioning to the barn for the reception. The lights we added to the barn made the event feel even more intimate and enhanced the old beams throughout the barn. The space was perfect for our 180 guests and we received numerous compliments about the space and how beautiful it was for our wedding.

I had a great experience with FPC! They were very helpful through the planning portions, and wonderful to work with as changes or adjustments had to be made. I also used them for my catering, the food was delicious and personalized.
