Wedding Venue Review: Rawlings Conservatory, Baltimore

A lush, greenhouse wedding surrounded by tropical palms, desert succulents, and blooming orchids, are all part of the package in this Victorian glasshouse with a romantic and unforgettable backdrop.

The Rawlings Conservatory is nestled in Baltimore’s historic Druid Hill Park. If you're dreaming of a lush, greenhouse wedding surrounded by tropical palms, desert succulents, and blooming orchids, this Victorian glasshouse is a romantic and unforgettable backdrop.

The venue is as elegant as it is unique, offering five distinct greenhouse areas and a charming outdoor garden space that transforms seamlessly from ceremony to reception.

The light filtering through the arched glass ceilings during golden hour creates a magical, almost ethereal ambiance that photographers love. Whether you're hosting an intimate ceremony with 40 guests or a larger celebration with up to 120 in the outdoor garden, the venue offers versatility in both setting and style. It’s ideal for couples who value sustainability and natural beauty, as minimal floral décor is needed—Mother Nature provides it all.

Planning is made easy with the helpful staff who offer a list of preferred caterers and vendors, though you are welcome to choose your own.

The venue rental includes tables and chairs, and the Conservatory’s historic charm, combined with its tranquil setting, makes it a top choice for couples looking to say “I do” in a living sanctuary.
