I am getting married at the Pavillion at The Snapper Inn in June. We are thinking of taking our pics at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum or Connetquot State Park. Does anyone know about either of these ocations? We don't want to have to walk all over in dresses and shoes. Thanks!
All I know is Connetquot. It was an old English estate but it really doesn't have many flowers... mostly wooded with good hiking trails. The main manor house is now a Queens College annex (a bit run down) and a lot of the grounds are used up for an equestrian center. Also, there is A LOT of geese poop... EVERYWHERE.... the man who built it is actually responsible for bringing Canadian geese to LI... Thanks... but he did start Marshall Field's dept stores...lol. IMHO, I think some of the other parks are nicer for wedding pictures. It's a great park to walk (3 mile loop) or visit the animal sanctuary (they have two injured and beautiful bald eagles) but I wouldn't say for wedding pictures. I you want pictures of greenery ok but not many flowers.
we just took our engagement pictures at bayard cutting arboretum and the grounds were stunning. there were so many different picture spots- on a lake, a field, amongst trees, paths- it was amazing. i highly suggest it- and they dont charge for the photo session- just $6 a car load- not bad
We have been to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum a few times and it is gorgeous! (Just beware of goose 'presents!')
Thank you everyone! Julz what did you think of the food. We haven't even tried it yet. I heard from someone else it was good though. I think a lot of people don't go there becaue it's basically out of doors. We got a lot of crap about that from our Moms. I guess we will go with Bayard. Thanks ladies

Julz, thank you so much. I keep leaving the computer and coming back to see great stuff. Thanks for the pics. I am so excited and I'm pretty crafty so I am going to hang lanterns in the tree outside and do luminaries. I love that place and more people should definitely check it out.They also negotiate if you work with them.
