Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield

Planterra Conservatory The premiere botanical wedding venue

As I film weddings all over Michigan, I am thrilled of all the wonderful places there are to get married. I have filmed multiple weddings at Planterra Conservatory, and I am always impressed when I find myself filming another wedding there. So brides, in your quest for a unique venue allow me a few moments to share why you should consider Planterra. Planterra Conservatory offers an experience that feels worlds away—without ever leaving Michigan. Tucked just outside Detroit in West Bloomfield, this glass-enclosed botanical greenhouse has rightfully earned its place on Harper’s Bazaar’s list of the 33 Best Garden Venues in the World. I had a couple from California that loved Detroit, and chose this venue to get married and you watch it when you get a chance! And when you step inside, you’ll understand exactly why.

I remember the first time, I filmed there, I was like a kid in a candy store! Think lush greenery, romantic stone pathways, and a sense of timeless serenity. One of the coolest and elegant features is the Belgium-imported glass atrium, a breathtaking architectural centerpiece that blends European craftsmanship with botanical wonder. It’s not just a venue; it’s an atmosphere. It’s truly unlike any venue in Michigan and between Anna Scrips Whitcomb Conservatory and The Westin in Southfield, of the three Planterra is my favorite.

They have a full-service planning and design team. They can help with anything from floral design, curated rentals, personalized layouts to culinary planning, every detail is executed under one roof. The benefit? You’re not juggling dozens of vendors or explaining your vision over and over. With Planterra, you’re working with a dedicated team who understands the big picture and handles the fine print. And let’s be honest—weddings at this level deserve more than just beautiful pictures. They deserve intention, elegance, and a sense of ease. Planterra delivers on all three, which also aligns with our brand at Xavier Nicole.

One of the biggest concerns I see after filming for over 10 years is weather! Is it too hot, or too cold, too windy, will it rain? For brides who love the idea of hosting their wedding in a controlled natural setting— weather is never a worry here—you’ll appreciate how this indoor greenhouse wedding venue brings the outdoors in, minus the unpredictability. When Harper’s Bazaar recognized Planterra as one of the world’s best garden venues, they weren’t just praising its looks—they were honoring the complete experience. That’s what makes this place iconic. It’s not only about where your wedding happens; it’s about how you feel while you’re there. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a grand affair of up to 200 guests, Planterra offers the space—and the expertise—to make every detail feel personal.

So if you’re searching for a venue that offers extraordinary design, impeccable service, and the kind of atmosphere that leaves your guests speechless, Planterra might just be the answer. And with limited dates each season, the time to secure your place in this glass garden is now. So if you're looking for a luxury wedding venue near Detroit that offers both wow-factor and white-glove service, this botanical escape may be exactly what you've been searching for.
