Is this the Bayard Cutting Arboretum? (I'm not sure of the spelling) If so, I don't think it costs anything. We might be doing some of our pictures there.

We had our pictures taken there!! It is a beautiful place. It just cost $5 per car. Make sure you tell your photographer to take pictures out side the house that is on the grounds...you are not allowed to take pictures inside.

Good Luck!

Lisa
--so you don't have to pay for reserving the day--just $5 per car/limo?--do you have to tell them that you are coming?

and can i go there any time to check it out?-

I'm so glad you said it was beautiful-did you only take pics by the house and how long were you there for-approximately---thanks for responding!:)

We are having our pictures taken there too!
You don't have to tell them you are comming. You can go see it whenever you want. The house is a beautiful backdrop. They have a beautiful water area too. No matter where on the property you go, look out for goose droppings!!
If you have a NY state park pass, it's part of the NY state park system. We go all the time to walk together and imagine being there on our wedding day.
It's $5 per car to get in (you won't have your parking pass if you have one becaues you will be in the limo!)
Have a great time!!
