FOOD & BEVERAGE

Upon arrival and before the service, guests can enjoy water, coffee, lemonade, and iced tea, conveniently stationed throughout the mansion. If you wish, we can also offer passed champagne, wine, or a favorite cocktail.

Our team will warmly welcome guests at the door, assist with coats, and guide everyone to the Ballroom when it’s time to be seated for the service.

Following the service, we invite guests to return to the historic mansion for a reception with food and time to connect. We recommend one of our Cocktail Party Menu packages, featuring a selection of stationed and passed hors d’oeuvres and light bites. Full bar service begins at this time, and we’re happy to tray-pass beverages from the bar as needed.

We typically recommend a two-hour reception, but we’re happy to discuss additional time if you’d like to extend the gathering.
