Went to a wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

The wedding was absolutely stunning!!!! The ceremony location had stone pillars and was so romantic. As a guest I got to walk around the garden for the hour before the wedding. For anyone getting married there it was amazing. I felt like I was on a movie set. The food was great and the service was top notch! Guests stayed at the Waldorf Astoria - which was really fancy and fun.

Glad to hear that things have changed.... I went to a wedding there two years ago and you couldn't walk around the whole place. Supposedly the rose garden is amazing. We were all told about it, but then weren't allowed in!!!!

Yeah it is expensive - I think it starts out 140 pp to 180 pp and there is a site fee starting at a couple thousand to 4K I think. Although for a Sat. night wedding in August I believed they payed 140 pp w/ a 4k site fee, which IMO is not too outrageous. I saw a lot of places that were not as nice charging more here on the island.

I've never seen that place in person but have seen pics and it looks amazing. We looked into it but it was too expensive for us. I think that girl from the Sopranos had her wedding there! I'm glad you had a nice time!
