removing green cast from groom's facial hair without loosing green of tie

Hello folks
So I'm almost done processing this wedding, but having trouble with some of the ceremony shots. Somehow the grooms blond/gray facial hair picked up the green tones bouncing around the white pavilion.

When I use the eyedropper, I get poor results-- as it pulls things totally yellow or totally blue. The best results seem to be when khaki is the neutral, and even then it goes way too yellow.

What has been working best for me is to move the white balance sliders to favor yellow and red, but this also makes her complexion a little red. In addition to WB, I move the green HSL slider to be more yellow and less saturated so his facial hair looks better. This also changes his tie and the foliage to favor yellow, but I think it's the best I can do. Any other ideas?

I just did a quick adjustment that seems to have worked. Image is too small to be sure.

I selected the beard with the lasso tool, then went to hue / saturation and lowered the yellow a little, and decreased the saturation a little.

It doesn't look that bad as is. Clicking on the white shirt should get rid of any casts. Try the skin color (onskin), color cast and white eye droppers. If one of them does not get you there.....black and white would be great for this photo.
