You are required to purchase a photo permit in advance. Since we are largely self-supporting, we request $100.00 for a one-hour block of time of the gardens. Due to our popularity as a wedding ceremony and photo shoot location we suggest that you reserve your time well in advance. Wedding parties using the Gardens without a permit will be fined $125.00 (payable immediately by cash or credit card). We will begin taking reservations for 2012 wedding photos beginning on January 2, 2012. Please call the Gardens office at 732-932-8451.
