Please Note: These calendars do not include hold dates. You can place a soft hold on any date without a deposit, you would then get first right to book the space if someone else is interested in that date. It is possible that the date you want is on hold right now. If someone already has a hold on a date then you would be in the second hold position. If you were to want that date the person in the first hold position would have 1 business day to produce the deposit check or it would fall to the person in the second hold position. You would then be required to place a deposit of half the rental amount and that would book the date. A soft hold is good for 7 days and then it expires (you will not be emailed or called that your hold has expired). You may put another soft hold on that date if you contact us by email before it expires. Let me know if you have any questions on this. Hold terms: http://www.outofboxproductions.com/holdterms.html
Thank you!

Why we did not answer your questions in your 1st email: We did read the comments/questions in your email, they are detailed in the files above. For the sake of a speedy reply – we did not have the time to write a custom response to your questions, however, feel free to email us a 2nd email with follow up questions and we will respond in detail.
Appointments: Please note we only tour by appointment and only set appointments through email so that we have a record of our arrangements. Please email us with any conflicts with our open tour times and we will find a time that works for everyone. We do not setup tours over the phone nor through text.
You asked for a phone call, but we emailed and did not call: We sometimes cannot call due to being in meetings or producing events, but we do not you to suffer and wait so we are sending you this info. I encourage you to read it over and respond in email with questions. Although we cannot pick up the phone right now, we can email during our events and/or meetings – so let’s start with email and go from there.
Smaller Weddings: I have a smaller wedding under 100 is the price the same?
We've held weddings of 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200. 250, and 290 - our space can be transformed to hold weddings of most sides, but despite the number of invited guests, as a venue our expenses do not change so there is not a specific discount for smaller weddings, however, if you pick an off season month (January to April) or a date besides a Saturday we can come up with a custom package that works within your budget. To access our discount application, click here:
http://www.theconservatoryev.com/requests.html
Ceremony only – no reception: We get it – sometimes you just need a ceremony spot. If you are looking into a Saturday during prime wedding months, we are not able to provide a ceremony only discount rate. Our full rate would be due. We can discount on a Friday or Sunday – we can also discount in from January to March. Please email us to receive information about this pricing.
How is Covid 19 affecting The Conservatory?
We will be following the CDC guidelines and government restrictions closely. We do not know what Covid will look like in a month, 2 months, 3 months. If you do book The Conservatory and for some reason due to COVID you need to reschedule, or we cannot be open to host your event then we are giving you up to 14 months from your original date to reschedule your event, but your booking fee deposit is non-refundable. If the Governor allows your event to be hosted but at 50% capacity – then your max seated guests would need to be adjusted to 50% of our capacity (we are allowed to have up to 420 guests so 50% would be 210). If regulations from the state require the serving staff to serve food to the guests at the buffet, then our labor cost will be adjusted accordingly - as buffets are typically self-service. To have a manned buffet the estimation of adding 3 staff to dish out the food at the buffet would cost $300. We do not know if this will be required yet for your date by the State.
What regulations/restrictions will guests encounter due to Covid 19 at The Conservatory?
Many venues are requiring temp checks for all guests and masks; we are not doing that (nor requiring guests to wear masks/gloves). We want people to stay home if they are sick or if they have been exposed to Covid over the last 2 weeks. Please review our current safety requirements here:
