The list goes on… 

Oh how we love The Conservatory At Briars, let us count the ways!

Literally, because we’ve rounded up a list of all the things we love about the one-of-a-kind event venue in the Southern Highlands.

Seriously, it’s a dream venue for all of your celebrations, and here’s why:

 

1 :: Feels Like Outdoors, Indoors:

The Conservatory At Briars’ glass-enclosed design lets you enjoy the feeling of being outside while staying cosy inside. This setup is perfect for the Highlands’ unpredictable weather, providing the best of both worlds. Gorgeous views without Mother Nature playing tricks.

 

2 :: Natural Light And Stunning Views:

The beautiful glass room is bathed in natural light and surrounded by gorgeous gardens. This creates a serene and stunning setting that’s perfect for any event, offering a peaceful escape for your special day.

 

3 :: All-In-One Venue:

Situated on the Briars property, The Conservatory At Briars makes event planning an all-in-one dream. You can throw your event the evening before, enjoy a hot buffet breakfast the morning after, and spend the night at the onsite accommodation all in one spot.

 

4 :: Comfortable Accommodation:

Speaking of spending the night, there are actually 31 rooms and an apartment available at the Briars Country Lodge on the property. Your guests can easily stay on-site, making it convenient for out-of-town guests or multi-day events. All your loved ones can relax and enjoy the celebrations without arguing over who has to be the designated driver.

 

5 :: Attention To Detail:

Being a small, family-run business, The Conservatory At Briars offers a flexible and personal touch. Guests are made to feel special, with the staff going out of their way to make sure everyone has an unforgettable time.

 

6 :: Rave Reviews:

We always hear great things about the service and warm hospitality at The Conservatory At Briars. The team’s dedication to making guests happy makes it a top pick for events, and the rave reviews speak for themselves.

 

7 :: Delicious Food:

We love attending an event where the food is stellar and The Conservatory At Briars is famous for its tasty and generous portions. The local well-known chef serves up a food experience that’ll make your taste buds dance. Their menu is packed with mouth-watering dishes that cater to everyone’s cravings.

 

8 :: Location, Location, Location:

The Conservatory at Briars feels like a totally peaceful country escape but still it’s just a five-minute drive away from Bowral and Moss Vale. You get the best of both worlds: a relaxing retreat with easy access to town.

 

9 :: Parking Perks:

With designated spots for guests staying overnight and a spacious car park for events, finding a place to park is a piece of cake. This added convenience means that whether you’re spending the night or attending for the day, you’re not worried about parking the car.

 

10 :: A Place For All Of Life’s Moments:

The Conservatory at Briars is your go-to spot for all kinds of gatherings, whether a wedding, conference, birthday bash, or even a heartfelt life celebration. Its versatility means the team and space can accommodate your event, whatever the reason.

12 :: Catering To Events Of All Sizes:

Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a large celebration, The Conservatory at Briars accommodates 30 to 120 seated guests in a formal dining or feasting style, or up to 160 in a cocktail style. This flexibility lets the team tailor your event just the way you want it with who you want it.

 

13 :: All About Innovation:

At The Conservatory at Briars, they’re all about being open to innovation. They’re constantly brainstorming new ideas to make events truly unique whilst keeping them fresh and unforgettable.

 

14 :: The Real Log Fire:

Yep, it’s true! The Conservatory at Briars boasts one of the few real log fires in the area, adding a cosy and charming touch to any event. Guests love it, especially during those cooler Highlands months, as it creates a totally warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

15::The Spacious Lounge Area:

Next to the main dining area, the lounge has comfy leather couches that encourage mingling. This means your guests aren’t stuck at their designated table all night and can make the most of the space. It really is the perfect place for friends and family to chill out, chat, and have a good time, adding to the overall wonderfulness of your event.

 

16 :: Making The Most Of Outdoors:

With its sprawling gardens and the option to set up cocktail bars or gelato trucks outside [yes please], The Conservatory at Briars offers a range of cool outdoor setups for events. You can get creative and make your gathering truly memorable.

 

17:: Strong Vendor Relationships:

The team at The Conservatory at Briars have great relationships with local suppliers and vendors. This means you’re getting high-quality services and products for your event, from catering to decorations and everything in between.

 

18::  The Ceremony Spaces:

The beautiful ceremony areas by the lake offer stunning views and easy access for all guests, including those with mobility issues. This thoughtful layout means that everyone can enjoy the special moment.

 

19:: The Elegant Decor:

The Conservatory at Briars’ elegant decor, with its beautiful chandeliers and ornate mirror, creates a stunning backdrop for any event. You can dress it up with decorations of your own but it also stands alone as a beautiful space to be in. It’s refined yet charming, making it perfect for any occasion.

 

20:: The Quarterly Events:

Lucky for us The Conservatory at Briars also throws themed and quarterly events, giving you a chance to enjoy the venue even if you’re not attending a wedding or private event. These special events are a great way to experience the beauty and charm of the space and imagine your very own event there as well. Keep an eye out for their next one coming up.
