Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory Overview

**2022 Dates are Unavailable at the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory due to Construction** Nestled in the heart of one of Baltimore’s largest and finest gardens, the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory provides couples with a distinct wedding venue that offers the best of the outdoors in a singular indoor setting. Built in the late 19th century, the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory stands as the second oldest steel-framed and glass conservatory in the United States. Exchange your most sacred vows among some of the world’s most stunning flora, all nestled into several different greenhouse environments that can be hand selected to match your big day! Whether you’re hoping to exchange vows in the elegant Orchid Room or exotic Tropical House, all of Rawlings’ stunning spaces are at your disposal. If you’d prefer an outdoor setting for your ceremony, you can say your “I do’s in the outdoor gardens, which are splashed with beautiful shades of perennials and annuals during the spring and summer months. Two display pavilions create fabulous settings for intimate wedding receptions. For larger events, you can even celebrate your union beneath an airy tent on the lawn overlooking the gardens!
