Re: Pictures at Old Westbury Gardens?
It is depends on the time of day you go. I think we are paying around three or four hundred. Check their website cause I think they list the prices there. When you book you have to leave a $150 deposit down or was it $100. One last thing if you go over 20 people including yourself and the bridal party you get charged extra. I personally think that is a little ridiculous but whatever.

FH feels it is a waste of money to stop there and take pics. Our Church is in Westbury and our hall is in Mineola so I thought it would be a perfect place to stop. He says there is more than enough places to take pics at the Church and the hall and doesn't want to spend any more money than we have to.

It's a beautiful place to take pictures! I loved it. Make sure you get some in the back of the mansion. It's expensive, but totally worth if you ask me.
Here are just a couple of mine... I don't have a lot of those scanned but there are tons!

Re: Pictures at Old Westbury Gardens?
BTW if your members they discount the cost of pics & membership is really inexpensive! It's like $60 a year for both of us....The holiday gala is also really fun & glamorus, however that's an xtremly expensive donation

Re: Pictures at Old Westbury Gardens?
thanx! i used the walled garden, boxed garden, and great lawn/mansion. the way we looked at it, is you spend so much money on photography you should have a great place to shoot the pix.
