From the reviews
My husband and I got married at The Palm House last month and we talk every day about how we wish we could relive the whole experience. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. It is the most stunning, gorgeous, incredible venue.
Such a dreamy wedding venue! We had such a good experience working here as wedding photographers and videographers for many years. The bright white space, filled with perfect light, and the very cool modern design and details are incredible.
Our wedding was gorgeous! Sophia was amazing to work with, the food was excellent, and the cocktail hour rooms offered such a unique experience. Thank you for a wonderful event!!!
Hey! I'm Rich. I own Richard J Nieves Photography, a wedding photography and videography company based out of NY. I recently filmed a wedding at The Palm House. The staff was so helpful, respectful, and they worked so efficiently to serve not only my couple's needs, but mine as well as a vender.
Getting married at The Palm House
The Palm House comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
