Planting Fields

The historic gardens at Planting Field make the ideal location for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and other special occasions. After the gardens have closed to the public, ceremonies for weddings and other celebrations usually start at 5 o'clock or later. To guarantee the exclusivity of your event, only one nighttime event is scheduled for each date. A payment of $15,000 is required to reserve Planting Fields for your private event, and the host is entitled to one year of Sustaining Member perks. Wedding ceremonies call for a $5,000 donation, which entitles the host to one year of Family Member perks. A spectacular Gold Coast mansion from the 1920s still stands today as a statement about art, architecture, and landscape, and its name is Planting Fields. The grounds, which were originally created by the Olmsted Brothers and are situated in Oyster Bay, New York, have 409 acres of greenhouses, rolling lawns, formal gardens, wooded pathways, and exceptional plant collections. Please get in touch with Lilly McGurk, Director of Stewardship and Events, at lmcgurk@plantingfields.org to arrange a walkthrough or to check the available dates.
