St Andrews Conservatory

A BRIEF OF THE ST ANDREWS CONSERVATORY

Located in Fitzroy, just across the street to the famous Carlton Gardens and Royal Exhibition Building, the St Andrews Conservatory is a chic wedding venue that features stunning glass roof as well as delicate bamboo lanterns. During the day, plenty of natural light is flooded into the venue through the glass roof while in the night, those lanterns will light up the entire room with its warm light, boasting an extra touch of romance.

Its prime location across the Carlton Gardens means short travelling time from some of the major wedding ceremony locations such as the St Patrick Cathedral as well as Melbourne wedding photo locations such as the Fitzroy Gardens as well as the Parliament House.

Lastly, the St Andrews Conservatory is also an affordable Melbourne city wedding venue for cheap onsite ceremony hire fee and complimentary free venue hire fee, when booking weddings at this venue you will also be enjoying lots of inclusions.

ST ANDREWS CONSERVATORY REVIEW (4.3STARS)

Giovanna: I don’t even know where to start with St Andrews Conservatory. We had the time of our lives at our wedding on March and I could not thank the team at St Andrews enough. From the first e-mail to packing up after the reception, everything was just perfect. Stunning venue, amazing food, lovely staff. Everything ran smoothly and now, two months later, everyone is still talking about how amazing our wedding was. The wedding photography opportunities are amazing nearby inside the laneways and building. We also went to the famous Melbourne wedding photo location Carlton Gardens for some natural greenery backdrop. Shout out to Susan, Jasmin, Chiara (specially my girl Chiara who always had a drink ready for me) and the team for making our day so special. We will be back every year for anniversary dinners at the Hotel!

Rebekah: Held my wedding here last Wednesday and it was the BEST decision. The staff, especially Jasmin and Susan, are so friendly. They shared so many help throughout the entire wedding planning journey. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was incredible. Excellent Melbourne wedding photography opportunities nearby. I cannot recommend this venue more highly. I can’t put into words how amazing the day was and amazing the venue looked.

Natasa: What a great space, great food and exceptional staff. This unique Melbourne wedding venue all adds up to a great night. Every one of my guests commented on the food, the quality of the wine, and especially the service. Thank you, Jasmin and Susan who are absolute wedding event professionals. I sincerely recommend St Andrews.
