Absolutely Amazing!

If you’re looking for your non traditional ballroom type and want a modernized farmhouse type vibe. This is it! The whole team has been amazing during the whole process. Communication was great! This place is amazing with so many options for pictures and mostly private.

Most magical day of my life

I just got married at The Conservatory last Sunday and have nothing, but amazing things to say! First, the grounds and venue are absolutely stunning. It was everything I dreamed of and more. The outside patio was perfect for our dream outdoor ceremony and photos. The cocktail hour and reception room gave the perfect intimate rustic-chic feel I hoped for. All the staff at the conservatory were incredible to work with. We specifically worked with Sue-Ann and Shea and I have nothing, but amazing things to say about them. They were both easy to get in touch with prior to the wedding and they were a pleasure to work with on our actual wedding day. Shea was our day of coordinator and she did an incredible job. The way she decorated the venue was beautiful and she made my vision come to life. She was extremely kind and helpful throughout the wedding ensuring everything ran smoothly. I would recommend this venue to anyone! I am so sad it is over as it was the most magical day of my life!

Breathtaking, Romantic and Intimate

This was the first and only venue we saw. Words cannot describe how beautiful and intimate the wooden hall is, and the grounds are no exception. This venue and this team was perfection. We had a great time planning and executing our wedding. The team is super communicative and made us feel like it was our day. We are extremely greatful. Do not hesitate and reach out, you won't regret it. The firepit was a smash, we're still collecting all the compliments from our guests. Thank you guys.

Beautiful Unique Venue

We are so happy we chose this venue for our December wedding – it was so perfect. The building is so unique. The warm wood and huge windows are so beautiful both in the natural light during the day and at night with the chandeliers and candlelight. The grounds outside have so many places to take photos – there are different backdrops set up by landscaping companies that looked great when we visited in the summer and when we had our December wedding. This really is a venue for any season.
From the barns on the property, to the greenhouse, to the Conservatory room, and the cocktail hour room, there are so many places to take photos or do a first look. We did our first look and did our portraits and photos together outside, but did our family photos inside the Conservatory and the ones we have seen so far came out so beautiful. I loved that we didn’t have to worry about the weather – we ended up with a mild winter day, but if it had been rainy, we could have taken all of our photos inside and would have been just as happy with them because the inside is so unique and pretty.
We loved that the venue has a vibe of being “away” from everything since the property is so large, while being less than 15 minutes away from our hotel block, where there are also plenty of stores for if you or your guests need any last-minute purchases.
We also used the day-of coordination service through the Conservatory and we would highly recommend it to everyone. We had Shea, who we met during our initial tour, and she was with us every step of the way. She answered all of our questions, ran through a rehearsal with all of the people walking down the aisle while we were taking photos, helped set up, coordinated between the different vendors, and really just helped make the day run so smoothly.
You can also add on use of the firepit which we did, and was a big hit with our guests who wanted to get away from the party for bit.
One thing to plan ahead for is that you can’t do hair and makeup at the Conservatory, so we showed up with hair and makeup already done and hung out for a bit while waiting to get dressed. But in my opinion, this actually made it easier because we didn’t have to worry about getting there super early and packing so much to bring to the venue. We got ready at the hotel room and then were able to show up only with what we needed for the actual wedding. It also gave us some built-in time to rest and take it all in while the photographers were taking our details photos.
Finally, we loved that we had an area to drop off décor and any other items we might need before the wedding and that Shea and our other vendors were able to set up right away. It was one less thing to worry about that day (either dropping things off early in the morning, or having to bring everything with us when we arrived). Everything that we left there on the wedding night was also packed up and put back in that area for easy pick-up the next day.
Overall, we are so happy that we chose the Conservatory for our wedding and would recommend it to anyone!

Everything We Wanted and More!!!

The Conservatory is the most beautiful venue with the most attentive and wonderful staff. From the moment we walked in to the space, we knew this was going to be the venue for us. We didn't tour any other places; none of them could compare! The Conservatory is beautiful on its own, and we really didn't need that much decor to bring our vision to light. Shea especially is the sweetest person. The Conservatory offers a Day-of-Coordinator and Shea was ours--she handled set-up and clean up and was there for any minor assistance if needed. She even took some photos and videos throughout the beginning of the day and sent them over to me. The Conservatory also has a multitude of options for where to have your ceremony. We were first looking for venues with an outside option, but when we saw that beautiful arch inside, we knew we had to switch our idea. The Conservatory was a bit of a drive for us; 2.5 hours to be exact, but SO SO worth it!! Fantastic idea if you're on a budget. Our guests were telling us all night how gorgeous the place was.

Amazing venue!

We had our wedding here last weekend and we got so many compliments on the space. The seperate cocktail area was perfect for guests that wanted a quieter area during the reception. Even with the rain it was beautiful! The contacts at the venue were very prompt and helpful during the planning. My only suggestion would be to add a door to the bathroom from the cocktail space or one in the bridal suite if you are inside for the ceremony non of your guest see you before you walk down the aisle.

Best Wedding Venue!

The Conservatory was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff made planning seamless and were always professional and eager to please. The space itself is gorgeous and very versatile. It was the perfect size for our 180-guest wedding. The grounds are also beautiful and very well kept.

This venue is a dream come true!

We got married June 17 and people are still taking about our wedding. The place itself is just beautiful. We loved this venue because we had the flexibility to make it our own with our decorations. We had corn hole and jenga outside. I wanted something Disney themed and we were able to bring in our own stuff to make it look that way. We choose krave for the food and they were amazing. I was little nervous at first because you have to bring in catering and alcohol but the processes is sooo easy. Our caterers brought in the stuff as well as all silverware and plates and cups we didn’t have to do anything! We did hire a day of shea she was amazing! She really took the time to set everything up and make it just like I had it pictured in my head. We even got to end the night with fireworks! We got married at a church then came here so we arrived late but there are sooo many places to take pictures around the property that it didn’t even matter because we didn’t have to walk far to get all the pictures I could have dreamed of captured! I can not recommend this place enough. It truly was my dream wedding

If you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding or event, look no further than the Conservatory at Sussex County Fairground. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beauty of the place. The outdoor space was breathtaking with a lovely pond, multiple gazebos, and stone structures that provided the perfect backdrop for photos.

Inside, the cocktail room had stunning greenery chandeliers and the thoughtful placement of benches made guests feel comfortable and relaxed. The reception area was a separate room that was equally stunning, with high chandeliers and a lot of natural light streaming in through the many windows. The greenery and decorations added the perfect touch of elegance to the already gorgeous space.

The staff at the Conservatory were incredibly easy to work with, and their kindness and attention to detail made the whole experience enjoyable. They were organized, accommodating, and made sure everything was perfect for my special day.
