Thank you so much to Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory for making my fairytale wedding come true!
The food was amazing and they made wedding planning and the itinerary so easy and stress free!
They were very friendly and great to work with as we were out of town they provided us with a virtual rehearsal and provided us layouts of the conservatory and a video of the walkthrough!
I could not have asked for a better venue or better staff to work with they checked in very regularly throughout the night to make sure everything was great.
Such a magical day and experience; I would highly recommend!!!

Gorgeous venue and amazing staff
I can’t express enough how absolutely amazing the staff at this venue are. We decided to get married only 4 months before our wedding date and the staff were so incredible even with the short notice. They were all so kind and thorough with every interaction. The food was absolutely delicious and they were able to answer all our questions and even accommodate the fact that we wanted two separate desserts for our guests. We only had 26 guests so we did have to pay a fee since we were under their minimum but the fee was incredibly reasonable.
The day of the wedding they set up all our decorations based on the photos we sent them, were there to help with any of the issues with the wedding day of, helped ensure that everything ran smoothly, and packed everything up for us to pick up the morning of the next day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning both inside and outside and you have access to the conservatory all night, but the staff really made all the difference. Our guests had an amazing time and we’re talking about how much fun the staff were to interact with. Truly could not have picked a more gorgeous venue with just the most amazing, accommodating, and lovely staff members. Thank you everyone for your work!

100% Would Recommend
Cayla, Ashley and Alyssa acted as not only our venue contacts but our wedding planners. They were a team after my own heart with their google sheets and checklists. I so appreciated their planning beforehand and their guidance throughout the big day itself. They ensured everything went smoothly and kept me in the loop if any changes in the schedule were required.

Fairytale Come True
Shannon was positively the most amazing and kindest soul to deal with. Now trying to plan your fairytale wedding during a world wide pandemic may seem difficult to some but she was an absolute dream. From phone calls, to emails to zoom calls this woman was an all star! Since day 1 she answered our questions, kept us up to date with how things were going at the conservatory and made sure everything was all set and ready for our dream wedding.
On the day off our wedding Shannon was with us every step of the way. Again being her glowing self - full of passion, kindness and willing to help with anything! If you are looking for a fairytale and a dream come to life this is the place. From the beautiful butterflies to the gorgeous flowers and picturesque waterfall, this venue has it all. We are so thrilled with how everything went and it ultimately was a fairytale come to life!
Thank you Shannon and Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory for making our dream a reality!
Love, Michael & Brittany

Superior Service
Planning a wedding during covid is not easy. But Shannon and Cayla were amazing. We had changes and more changes due to government restrictions ever changing. These ladies were quick to have a plan with each restriction that would affect our wedding day. Everything from planning to ceremony to reception to post wedding day was an amazing experience. Our guest are still raving about the ceremony, meal and staff.
