i believe so for OWG. Think the rate depends on the time of day.. from what i remember their website has the rates..

planting fields is $120 ish no matter what time of day..

both places are nice so i dont think you can go wrong either way..

I took my pics at Planting Fields, it's absolutely beautiful there!
However, Old Westbury does have the indoor options for pics if it rains, Planting Fields does not.
Old Westbury was booked very far in advance when I was getting married, 7 months to be exact.
While I love Planting Fields, I would have chosen Old Westbury because I wanted an indoor option in the event of rain!!
HTH!!

We took our pictures at OWG. It is a lot of $$$, but once you see your pictures it will all be worth it! The grounds are stunning, and make for an amazing backdrop!

I agree Planting Fields in Oyster Bay is amazing!
On our wedding day there were three other brides who were taking photos. Unfortunately, one of the brides hogged an area where there was this amazing wheat so we were unable to capture that photo. I would have loved to have gone to O.W.G. but the asking amount was too much for us.
Another nice option is the Roslyn Duck Pond (where I took my e-pics) which is free of charge .

We had our pics taken at OWG; it was actually a wedding gift from a dear friend. We're so happy she insisted on doing this for us because our pics came out amazing. We went in the AM so it was $275 I believe. And we loved the fact that we could use inside if it rained.
