pricing minimums & other very important notes

about your vandiver wedding reception

estimating your overall budget

While most events are customized to each Bride’s and Groom’s tastes and budget, an average  full-service wedding and reception before taxes will range from the low-$70’s to just over $100 per person.  Even at the lower end of this range, pricing includes just about everything you need for a beautiful event including Ceremony Space, Open Beer & Wine, Three appetizers, Salad, Two Gourmet Entrées, Two sides, WEDDING CAKE, Facilities (floorspace, tables, wood (resin) chairs, choice of linens, barware, silverware, set-up, tear-down, new drop-down side curtains, heat) AND Service/Gratuity (which is 20% of food and beverages).  At the upper end of this range, you’ll receive a significantly expanded menu with all the bells & whistles.  The following information shows the many different options that you can select regarding facilities, menu, beverages and lodging.  

 

Your pricing ALSO includes your Vandiver Event Manager, a single point of contact throughout our relationship chartered with the success of your event.  Your Event Manger will also be your liaison for your final walk through (where we visit every minute of the day about 30 days prior to the event) and assist with menu, linens, set-up and even assigning rooms!  - Then we'll be there every step of the way on the Big Day!

minimums (please read before making your appointment)

  • SATURDAY weddings scheduled in peak season (April through 2nd week of December) must meet the following :
      • A minimum event value of $7500
      • Guarantee of the 8 Mansion Guest Rooms at a special group rate (can be used to count towards the minimum event value)
  • All other SATURDAYS:   May require the guarantee of the 8 Mansion Guest Rooms at a special group rate.
  • FRIDAYS & SUNDAYS:  If your event ends after 7PM, may require you to guarantee the 8 rooms in the Vandiver Mansion at a special group rate.
  • While we only host one wedding per day (a huge plus for you!), we work very hard to be a good corporate citizen in our historic neighborhood.  Thus, most events should plan to end around 9PM or earlier.  But the night doesn/t have to end - We’ll work closely with you and local pubs and restaurants (all within a walking distance!) to organize an awesome after-party.
  • A 20% Non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date.
  • Decorations and entertainment are your responsibility, but we have a list of trusted vendors that are ready to assist you.

notes on your menus & beverages (please read before making your appointment)

Vegetarians, Vegans and other special dietary needs are usually handled on a case by case basis.  However, more than a handful of any one type of special meal will require you to select an appropriate entrée from your selected option.  You may also choose to add an entrée to your selected option without moving up to the next option, see Vandiver for details and pricing.

Other Vendors present during dining (DJ’s, Photographers, etc.).  If you are responsible for providing meals for your vendors, they will be provided with the same options as regular guests.  To help with your budget, Facilities and Beverage charges will NOT apply (unless they are seated and dining with guests) and food charges will be discounted 15%.

Kids are also discounted – see Vandiver for details.  Under  3 is complimentary.

If you don’t see something – just ask!  We pride ourselves on trying to meet special needs or family favorites that may not be listed here. 

We do not serve shots or multi-liquor drinks like Long island Ice Teas.  BYOB is not permitted in any public areas.
