The setting
“I wanted pretty nature, and considered going to the NY Botanical Gardens, but that costs $35.”
“When I was trying to be straight (long story short: it didn't work out and now I'm gay married) my then wife and I were caretakers of a mansion in Yonkers.”
“The Walled Garden with its Persian-inspired design, reflecting pools, and fountains is breathtaking and incredibly peaceful.”
“We started from the lower section of the carriage trail and worked our way up to the Gate House and Vista before wrapping back down by the Temple of Love and Stumpery Fountain.”

From the reviews
When I was trying to be straight (long story short: it didn't work out and now I'm gay married) my then wife and I were caretakers of a mansion in Yonkers. This was during the early days of the Internet so most things we did we learned about by word of mouth.
Getting married at Untermyer Gardens
Untermyer Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
