The conservatory is a steel frame with glass inserts for the walls and a PVC vinyl roof. This temperature controlled structure offers over 3960 sq ft of entertainment space adjacent to our wedding garden and pergola. Enjoy a garden setting all year with the peace of mind of a covered ceremony and reception space. 

Please remember the conservatory at Bauknight House is a garden-style structure and as such is not completely airtight or leakproof. Despite pest control, insects can find their way in, especially when doors are open. The conservatory is heated and cooled while in use, making the temperature more comfortable.

Yes, in many cases you can use the vendor of your choice. You will need to provide a list of all vendors being used with their contact information. A vendor contract may be required, and all vendors MUST be licensed and insured.

Candles and open flames are not permitted in the conservatory or within 20' of it by local building authorities. They do allow Sterno style food warmers to be used under the supervision of caterers. Battery operated candles are an excellent alternative and provide a beautiful glow. Flame candles must be approved in advance for outdoor use.
