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

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.

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.

Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

The ladies were helpful. Allowed me to visit the venue when ever I needed to. Always replied to my questions on a timely basis. Day off the wedding, they made sure everything was in order and ran on time. The had the tables set perfectly and had arranged all my other tables and they had made everything beautiful. I would highly recommend them.

Our fairytale wedding!

My wife and I got married on Sept 15, 2018, which we learned on the day that it was the start of Monarch migration so the butterflies were particularly busy in the space!

Our experience with the staff at the conservatory, ESPECIALLY Shannon, was amazing. They were so accommodating to each and every one of our requests, some of which were a little unconventional - we had a gay, Anglican/Chinese fusion wedding, complete with prayers and a tea ceremony.

We can't imagine a more perfect setting for our day. We had 115 guests and there was so much in the space for everyone to explore.

Thank you thank you!

Wedding venue

I married my best friend on March 3rd 2018 at the Cambridge butterfly conservatory! The wedding coordinators and the venue was absolutely amazing. The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory worked with my wife and I to organize the night and set up/teared down the decorations for us! We had both our ceremony and reception there and the ceremony takes place in the actual conservatory under the waterfall with all the butterflies! We had so many compliments on the service and the food which was also catered by the Conservatory. It was an amazing wedding :)
