Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
You hardly need decorations in a beautiful venue like the Phipps Conservatory. Choose from a variety of event spaces, some available only in the evenings and in the warmer months of May-October (We love the Broderie Room). Other venues, like the Phipps Garden Center and Botany Hall, are open year round. Learn More about Phipps Conservatory
The National Aviary
Throw a truly unique party at the National Aviary on the North Side. There are indoor and outdoor spaces available, and your guests can access the exhibits to view more than 150 species of birds from all around the world. Food is provided by Atria’s Catering. Learn More about the National Aviary
Do-it-yourself
Your Own Home or Backyard
Another wonderful option for a bridal shower or engagement party is your own home. If you have a spacious backyard, try a party canopy or tent to keep your guests out of the sun and rain. If you need a little extra indoor space, we can use tenting to create an extra dining room or party area. We can help you plan all aspects of your event, from seating to speakers to lighting. Check out our Vendor List for Caterers that we often work with, or we can provide chafing dishes and grills so you can prepare your own food.
