Photographing a Wedding at Westbury Manor

A Victorian manor house behind formal English gardens — The gardens are the venue's whole personality. Shoot them early, before they're busy.

Westbury Manor · 1100 Jericho Turnpike, Westbury, NY 11590

Westbury Manor is a smaller, garden-forward venue — a restored Victorian house on Jericho Turnpike surrounded by English-style planting, with a glass conservatory. It suits intimate weddings and photographs like a garden estate in miniature.

What the venue gives you

Flowering garden borders, a gazebo, brick paths, a wrap-around porch, and a light-filled conservatory that lets you keep a green, airy look even in rain. Interiors are cozy Victorian rather than grand.

Where the portraits happen

The flower gardens and gazebo — the signature frames.
The conservatory — bright, weatherproof greenery.
The porch and manor facade — classic and covered.
The brick garden paths — for walking, candid frames.

A couple in a bright glass conservatory with plants — The conservatory is the rain plan — and it looks nothing like a ballroom.

Timeline notes

The venue is compact, so 20 minutes covers the gardens, the gazebo and the conservatory. Because it’s intimate, a first look works well and keeps portraits unhurried. Golden hour in the flower borders is the frame to protect.

The rain plan

The conservatory and the covered porch are genuinely good options, not compromises. A rainy Westbury Manor wedding still looks like a garden wedding.

Frequently asked questions

Is it big enough for a large family?

It suits smaller-to-mid-size weddings. Big extended-family groupings work on the lawn or porch; very large groups get tight indoors.

When do the gardens look best?

Late spring through early fall for the flowers, and the last hour of light any time of year.
