Built in 1936 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this historic conservatory is architecturally unique and visually striking. A quiet, beautiful escape within the city, perfect for reflection, outdoor photography, or simply slowing down among the gardens."

We just hosted our ceremony at the Jewel Box this spring but you can also host there as well. For how affordable and beautiful this venue is along with the location in Forest Park, the value is unmatched. So grateful to the Parks Department and the City of St. Louis for this amazing greenhouse!"

The flower garden lining the walkway is gorgeous, and the lily ponds are incredibly beautiful and peaceful. It only costs $1 per person to go inside, and it is totally worth it--especially on a hot day, it's delightfully cool & peaceful inside. (Note: Some of the glass was broken during the tornado earlier this year, thus the plywood in places.)"

The plants are elegant, the lighting through the glass is perfect for photography and the building itself is straight up gorgeous. The Jewel Box should be at the top of every wedding venue list for couples! Photos by: @joshandlindseyphoto"
