Notes on Como Conservatory’s new wedding reception hall
A new wedding reception hall has been opened at the Como Conservatory in St Paul, which is building the Conservatory has needed for a long time. The Conservatory is the most highly sought-after wedding site in the Minneapolis St Paul area (the most sought-after in the state, actually), but up till now wedding receptions there have been limited because of the small size of the Conservatory. Como Zoo’s new Visitor Information Center has many rooms, though, and several of them are perfect for wedding receptions in Minnesota. One of them is a huge reception hall where you can have dancing, which is on the second floor and has views of both the Como Zoo and of the Como Conservatory. The other wedding reception site is called the Covered Porch (pictured above), and on one side you can see the Conservatory and on the other side you can see the Zoo and it’s historic Carousel. Here is a 360 degree view of the Covered Porch at the Como Conservatory.
The site is also reviewed at my page on sites in Minnesota for small weddings, and there is another blog post about weddings at the Como Conservatory, too. The reception site is catered by Lancer Catering, and I’m awaiting an email from them for information about rental rates. Stay tuned!

Good morning! Como Conservatory is not my facility (I only review these sites.) The price quotes are the ones that Como gives out, and you have to telephone them directly at 651-487-8250 to get a more precise quote.
I’ll definitely post some more pictures - thanks for the positive feedback!
Warm regards,
Rev. Tomkin Coleman
