Event Rental

Special events are made more memorable when celebrated at the Magic Chef Mansion.

The first floor of The Mansion is available for cocktails and hors d'oevres but seated dining for groups greater than 30 can only be accommodated outdoors or in the adjacent Carriage House. When you rent the Mansion for an event, the grounds, gazebos and terrace are also open for your enjoyment.

What are the Rates?

• Rental Rates – The rate to rent the Mansion starts at $3,000 for up to seven hours or less on the weekends, from March through December. Weekdays in season (Monday-Thursday) and anytime December through February, the minimum fee is $1,600 for up to four hours. Alternatively, the Carriage House can be rented by itself for $2,000 or in addition to the main house for an additional $1,500.
• Deposit – There is a refundable $750 deposit.
• Insurance – An event insurance policy is required. Such a policy typically costs about $265.
• Set up – Set up can be however long you want, but needs to be figured into the total number of hours rented. For example, the seven hour minimum rental fee includes set up and clean up time, not just the event time. If your event, clean up and set up only takes four hours, the fee is still $3,000. If you're using a tent, there is a tent set-up fee of $75/hour at set up and take down.

What is the Capacity?

The Magic Chef Mansion comfortably entertains up to 75 people for indoor events.

• The Mansion's formal dining room can seat 10. Three additional dining areas expand the total to 30 – the Breakfast Dining Room seats 6, the Conservatory seats 8 and the Library seats 6.
• The Carriage House seats up to 50 for dinner.

You may rent the 1,400 square foot Carriage House in addition to or instead of the Mansion. Events exceeding 75 people must rent the carriage house in addition to the House.

Tents: The largest size tent our grounds can accommodate is 30-feet by 60-feet, which seats approximately 150 people. The Magic Chef Mansion does not rent tents. Your caterer may help you with this, otherwise contact the rental provider of your choice.

Can I use my own caterer or do you recommend caterers?

You must use a caterer from our preferred vendor list. Please contact us for a list of approved caterers.

Can we rent the MCM to take photos?
