The story
One hundred thirty people gathered outside the Conservatory of Flowers for the ceremony, then moved through the glasshouse for cocktails and into the Orchid Pavilion for dinner, speeches, dancing, dessert, and a photobooth.

The ceremony kept the Conservatory in the picture.
The couple married outside with the white glasshouse rising behind the guests. The setting was unmistakable without forcing everyone into a narrow indoor aisle, and family reactions stayed visible throughout the ceremony.
The glasshouse was not a portrait stop. It held the whole evening, from the first drink inside to the last dance under the pavilion lights.

Cocktail hour moved into the plants.
After the vows, guests entered the Conservatory while the wedding party and family photographs continued nearby. Humidity, reflections, narrow paths, and public-park logistics all mattered, but the transition felt like part of the celebration rather than a separate photo excursion.
Why this story matters
The Orchid Pavilion held the dinner and party.
The evening stayed on site for buffet dinner, speeches, first dances, dessert, a photobooth, and dancing. Lighting and catering transformed the pavilion while the glasshouse remained the visual anchor for the day.
