Romantic Setting for a Small Wedding

Como Park Conservatory was a wonderful venue for my wedding. My wedding was held at the end of October, at short notice. We invited about thirty people. There are three areas available for weddings, we chose the smallest of the venues. It was lovely and serene. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, they helped when needed and followed through on all of the arrangements. We would have needed to plan far in advance for a Spring or Summer wedding but for in the fall there was availability for a morning ceremony.
The location I chose did not have seating. I needed to have chairs provided for a few of the older guests. Como Park was okay with making this accomodation and provided the chairs. Some of the other areas also do not provide seating for guests, for short ceremonies like mine this wasn't an issue. The flowers were lovely and I saved a lot of money that I would have spent on decoration for a church or another venue. The staff was hepful when needed and stayed out of the way when they were not needed. Wonderful location!
