Bloedel Conservatory

Bloedel Conservatory is a glass-domed conservatory and aviary that houses tropical plants and free-flying exotic birds beneath a distinctive geodesic dome.

The site offers on-site and nearby paid parking and bench seating for short rests during private hires.

Best for: Engagement and wedding photography, intimate ceremonies, small private receptions

Location: Queen Elizabeth Park provides extensive gardens and high viewpoints that supply outdoor photo locations and places for guests to continue after an indoor hire.

What guests say: The conservatory's warm, humid atmosphere and dense tropical planting create an immersive, photogenic setting. The free-flying parrots and maintained bird collection provide lively focal points during private hires.
