Anyone have any experience here? Did you take your wedding photos here? How about in Novemeber, still pretty? What about if it rains I heard there is a mansion. Any feedback will be appreciated, Thanks!

I went once in September (I live right near it) and I imagine it's just as beautiful in November. I don't know anything about doing wedding photos there except I think they close at 5, so be sure to do them well before 5. My SIL wanted to do pics there for her wedding but couldn't because they'd be closed by the time we got there.

I live right near it! They have a site fee on the website I think atleast $100 to take photos. Gorgeous in the spring, idk about November. The mansion has a restaurant in it and tours going on all the time so the stairs are always blocked off. Idk how many indoor photo opps it would have. HTH

Thanks girls! I think I might end up doing it, its a lot cheaper then Westbury Gardens, where I originally wanted.

i know this is a few days old - but when i had my shower here last august, there was a bride there taking photos - she was inside the mansion too. didnt seem to have a problem. maybe it depends on who is working that day. its a beautiful loacation.

I just took my wedding pictures there. We were not allowed inside (which was a shame because it was drizzling), but my photographer found a spot under some trees that kept us sheltered and then we took our 'sweetheart' photos under a covered archway near the mansion. I was disappointed I couldn't get to the huge weeping tree behind the mansion due to the rain, which would have made some awesome pictures.

The grounds crew was nice to me, though - they gave me a ride in a golf cart back to the limo so I wouldn't get wet. :)
