Re: Old Westbury Gardens

Here are a couple

I am sorry I could not find more color shots but I could check later at home what I have scanned, but you get the idea that it is a great garden.

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

I would like to add a question. If it rained, would you still have gone?
I heard there is no road for the limos to get close to the mansion. You would have to walk across the grassy field.

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

If it rains you can use the mansion to take indoor pix. The limo drives right up to the mansion

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

I found a couple more, just to give you an idea of different parts. I enjoyed being in this garden, I think I will have to go with hubby there for a picnic this year.

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

It definitely looks different once all the flowers and trees are in full bloom.

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

Wow Shamma, your pics are beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. I was thinking of using these gardens for pics too.

*Here's a question for you, do you set up the date & pay the fees to take pics there, or does your photographer include that?

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

you have to set up the time and date and pay for it. it can be a lot of money depending on the day (friday saturday or sunday) , tiem of day and the time of year. Don't quote me but I think it can range from $325-$425. the good thing is though that you can use the inside if it is raining. There is a girl Diana there that is great to deal with!

Re: Old Westbury Gardens

You have a choice of 3 gardens, but you can stop in between gardens and take pix. The price varies on the time you enter the park. If it rains and you call a hour b4 they will refund your money. They do offer you the option of using the mansion. Lizlen took pix in the mansion.
