Question 7

Do you host events other than weddings?

Question 8

Do you have your own catering or do we need to bring in our own?

Accepted Answer

We are a full catering company, so we’ll prepare all of the food and beverages here on-site to make it even easier for you! While we do not allow outside food or beverages to be brought onto Avanti property, we’ll happily make an exception if you’d like to provide your own wedding cake.

Question 9

Our NYS Liquor license requires that all alcohol be provided by Avanti Mansion. While we do have curated beverage packages, we’re able to accomodate most special requests, including specific wines, liquors and custom cocktails.

Question 10

Do you offer food tastings?

Yes! We host a food tasting event where we invite our booked clients to come and enjoy a ton of different food options! This gives couple’s the ability to not only try an assortment of items, but also see many of our decor rentals and interact with our Avanti team!

Do you serve any “dietary restricted” meals?

Yes, we do! We gladly accommodate guests with nut allergies, seafood allergies, and those that require a meal that’s lactose-free, gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian. Children’s meals are also available.

Question 12

How much will my wedding cost?

Accepted Answer

When you talk with one of our Wedding Planners, they’ll go through all of your wedding thoughts and ideas. Then you’ll receive an exact price for your Avanti wedding based on your personal event details, such as: What’s your date (Day of the week? Time of the year?) How many guests are you expecting to attend? Which venue do you prefer? What menu/package are you interested in? Prices are subject to 22% administrative fee and NYS sales tax

Question 14

How can I pay for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

After your date is reserved, additional payments may be made with a personal check, bank draft or cash. Credit cards are only accepted when paying the $1,500 reservation fee to reserve your date.

Question 15

How do I protect my wedding investment?

Accepted Answer

We always recommend that our couples invest in Wedding Day/Event Insurance. This is designed to cover the investment you’ve made for your wedding day, including your payments to Avanti Mansion and possibly other vendors. Not only does this benefit you, it also provides a tremendous amount of peace of mind while you plan one of the biggest days of your life! Since Avanti Mansion is not licensed to sell Wedding Day/Event Insurance, we are happy to connect you with companies that can help, PLUS, Avanti will credit you the cost (up to $200) on your invoice!

Question 16

How long do I have the venue for?

Accepted Answer

Our prices reflect a 5 hour reception with on-site ceremonies receiving an additional 30 minutes prior to your cocktail hour. If your ceremony is onsite, couples may arrive 2 hours prior to the ceremony start time. If your ceremony is elsewhere, then couples may arrive 1 hour prior to the reception start time. Additional time may be added at an extra cost.

Question 17

Do you hold dates?

Accepted Answer

We do not hold dates. All dates are on a first come, first serve basis. If you decide to have your wedding at Avanti Mansion, we require a $1,500 non-refundable, non-transferable reservation fee, and a signed contract for the date and venue.

Question 18

Can you accommodate more than one wedding at a time?

Accepted Answer

Since we have three venues on the property, we can potentially have three events happening at once. Couples in our Ballroom venue have the option to add on Exclusive Use to utilize the Library for an indoor ceremony or separate cocktail hour space, and have a bit more privacy in the Amore building. In addition, we have our Estate Exclusive Use option, which will give you private access to the entire estate, ensuring that your wedding will be the only one that day.
