estimating your overall budget

While most events are customized to each Bride’s and Groom’s tastes and budget, an average 100 guest full-service wedding and reception before taxes will range from the mid $80’s to just over $110 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, Four appetizers, Salad, Two Gourmet Entrées, Two sides, AND WEDDING CAKE, Facilities (floorspace, tables, wood (resin) chairs, choice of linens, barware, silverware, set-up, tear-down, new drop-down side curtains, heat), Rehearsal Time and Space (managed by Vandiver), AND your 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, as well as full open bar and everything listed above.  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 discuss every minute of the day about 30 days prior to the event), Your Rehearsal Time is included (and managing the rehearsal),  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 & Some Important Notes:

** = These dates require the guarantee of the 8 rooms in the mansion which can be used towards your minimum.

* = PLEASE NOTE:  Lodging can be applied to Minimums.  Vandiver reserves the right to change minimums based on overall customer need (including lodging), proximity of your event to the current date, and other factors.  For example, if we are very close to the requested event date, and we have availability, we may opt to change minimums to better meet your needs.  We encourage your inquiries and will do everything we can to develop a fair and reasonable budget for your event.       

• Timing:  Average Event Time is 4 ½ Hours and (PLUS another ½ hour for your Ceremony!)
• While we only host one wedding per day (a huge plus for our Brides and Grooms!), 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.
• Deposit:  A 20% Non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date.
• Decorations and entertainment are your responsibility – vendor list is available.
• Other Vendors for anything but catering are welcome, and we have a list of recommended Vendors.
• Your pricing includes all tables and linens for guests, DJ and buffet, etc.  However, additional charges may apply for items such as additional tables (for example cookie, photo booth and candy tables), additional tenting or other accommodations for photo booths, podiums, A/V etc.

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.
