About this venue

No matter the season, let the stunning landscape of The New York Botanical Garden create the perfect backdrop for your wedding. In the spring, surround yourself with the lush English roses in our manicured formal rose garden. In the summer, let the softly rushing sounds of the Bronx river accompany your ceremony. In the fall, the vibrant foliage will set the stage for a wedding filled with color. In the winter, imagine the perfect snowy backdrop, complete with berried holly and stunning pines, for your wedding photography. The New York Botanical Garden sets the stage for a wedding infused with nature and is the quintessential location for a couple who adores the great outdoors and the city alike.

    My husband and I got married at NYBG - The Stone Mill in October 2024. PROS: 1. Location is beautiful both inside and outside! Includes a golf cart to take pictures around the garden. 2. The food is delicious. Our guests raved about the food. 3. The staff work really, really hard to bring your vision alive. We are so appreciative of all their efforts leading up to and on the day of our wedding. They like to joke "We'll never say no" and it definitely felt true! 4. The Stone Mill is literally the only venue we toured that was 100% accessible for our loved ones in wheelchairs or walkers. CONS: 1. We had some beverage issues including upgrading beers which took a long time to figure out. This is not the fault of the people we worked with at the garden but Constellation Culinary as a whole entity should be more organized with this. They also missed wine service at my family table which is a bit of faux pas. 2. Our wedding started before the garden closed and required us to book the mandatory NYBG OPERATED TRAMS from the entrance to The Stone Mill. The shuttles were a 1/2 hour late, leaving our guests stranded in the parking lot with no seating. This was disappointing but we were extremely upset that they wouldn't let our guests make room for 4 more people to get on the shuttle, including elderly and non-able-bodied folks. They had to wait an additional 20 minutes for the next shuttle. Although we were not there, we've been told that our guests and the staff exchanged unhappy words over this. Despite this issue, I would like to share that Constellation Culinary handled this extremely professionally. In email follow-ups after our wedding, they immediately apologized and offered us a refund (which we didn't ask for). Not all wedding vendors are this professional so it really shows how much they value giving their couples the very best day.

    We worked with Chantal and Sasha for our 8/2023 wedding and could not have had a better experience. Chantal was so responsive, helpful, creative, patient, and overall just truly pleasant to work with. She listened to what we wanted and helped make our day feel so unique and special to us. The entire staff made our dream wedding day come true and I could not recommend the venue more. Sasha was our wedding attendant and so sweet and attentive and patient. She's been working at the venue for 19 years and her experience was so helpful to have! We moved cocktail hour out on the patio for an additional fee which was also greatly appreciated by our guests who got to take amazing photos and enjoy the gardens before our dinner - highly recommend considering if it's in your budget! Again, really enjoyed working with the entire NYBG team and specifically with Chantal and Sasha. We will thrilled with the outcome!

  • Stunning venue!
