The most poorly organized place in New York to do a Gilded Age Mansion tour. You can’t purchase tickets online, but have to go in-person the day of their scheduled tour. They have the most peculiar dates and times for tours as well and there is a $15 parking fee. I drove from New Jersey for a 2pm showing on a Saturday. I arrived at 12:30pm to find out that tickets were sold out for the 2pm showing, which the representative said their tours are small with only ten spots. They didn’t offer a refund for parking. Scam artists. I had fairer experiences when I visited the Vanderbilt Museum, Old Westbury Gardens, Planting Fields Arboretum, and Oheka Castle, where parking was free and tickets can be purchased online to guarantee you will get a tour and won’t waste your time and money. Avoid this place at all costs. Terrible staff who are not visitor friendly.

We always love photographing weddings at the Hempstead House. Everyone is always so nice and helpful, plus the venue and grounds itself are absolutely beautiful. We love every inch of this venue, from the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows featuring stained glass (including the indoor ceremony space), the abundance of natural light, and even the lucky water fountain that is central to the dance floor. We cannot wait to photograph more weddings here, as the creativity is endless.

Beautiful spot. Was here as a shooter on a wedding that they were having and it made our job very easy to be shooting in such a great location.
