Weddings and Events

The Mazant hosts weddings and wedding-related events throughout the year. Most of our events are around 100-150 guests, though we also accept requests for a limited number of larger events.

Current event pricing

Build the right quote for your event.

Rates vary with dates, stay length, guest count, event format, rentals, and vendor needs. We confirm current pricing directly instead of publishing an unverified estimate.

Request a current quote

Share the basics and Mazant will respond with the applicable range and requirements.

  • Preferred date or date range and overnight stay length
  • Estimated guest count and event format
  • Rental, catering, music, decor, and coordination needs

A request is not an offer, quote, contract, reservation hold, or availability guarantee. Mazant confirms final pricing and terms in writing.

Event info

Fees

Weekend events are generally structured as a full-property buyout, with pricing based on date, stay length, guest count, package scope, rentals, insurance, and operational requirements.

Current event pricing is confirmed directly after Mazant reviews your dates, guest count, stay length, format, rentals, and vendor needs. A request is not an offer, quote, contract, reservation hold, or availability guarantee.

Most events held on site must purchase event liability insurance and may require approved security, waste, parking, or shuttle vendors depending on size and format.

Layout and Format

We've hosted a wide variety of events over the years and the property is set up to accommodate this. The house is located in the center of a triple lot, with a corner yard under the oak tree on one side and a private fenced yard with a pool on the other side. The two yards are connected by a center hallway that runs through the middle of the house. There is also a back patio at the rear of the property with string lights and dining tables, as well as a fire pit in the back corner.

Many groups choose to do part of the event, such as the ceremony, in one yard and the other part of the event, such as the reception, in the other yard. Depending on the size of your group, you could host both the reception and ceremony in the same place. The pool yard is private and fenced, but also has a large gate that can be opened for load-in and load-out.

The accommodations page has layouts for some of the common spaces. Here are the approximate measurements of usable space outdoors:

Payment

We handle all contracts and payment online via Square. You can pay via credit card with no additional fees. We require a 50% deposit at time of booking, with the remainder due 90 days prior to arrival.

A $1,500 refundable security deposit is collected prior to check-in and refunded 7-10 days after checkout.

If you need to change dates or the size of your event, we work with you on a case-by-case basis and generally try to be as flexible as possible.

Planning Notes

Other Common Questions

Food Trucks

We do allow food trucks, but they generally work best parked on Burgundy Street or in the driveway, depending on size. We have power and water hookups as well.

Insurance

We require private liability insurance for any event on site. This costs around $150 and is available through a variety of vendors. We also strongly encourage wedding cancellation or travel insurance to cover things like weather and illness.

Kitchen

There is a large, well-equipped kitchen on site at the rear of the house. It has direct access to the back patio and cottage yard. There is also a BBQ grill on the back patio.

Music

Local regulations require that all outdoor music stop by 9:00pm. Out of respect for our neighbors, we are strict about this rule and have decibel meters installed on the property to monitor noise levels. Our included sound system is calibrated to mitigate most issues. We do not allow live amplified music on site, and we do not allow DJs or dancing in the cottage yard.

Parking

There are two off-street parking spots in the driveway as well as ample street parking with no permit required. For events, we will work with you to arrange offsite parking and/or a shuttle to avoid congestion in the neighborhood.

Permits

If you choose to have an event on site, we will apply for any necessary permits on your behalf. The cost of permitting is already included in your event fee.

Security

We require private security guards for any afternoon or evening event with more than 50 people. Events larger than 100 people require two guards, and those above 150 require three guards. Approximate cost is about $35 per hour, per officer, and we can provide a recommended list of companies.

Sleeping Capacity

The main house can sleep up to 18 people comfortably. See the accommodations page for more details.

Tours

The easiest way to get a sense of the layout is to view the virtual tour and floor plans. If you'd like to come in person, we do not show the property when we have guests, but with advance notice can generally arrange a tour on most weekdays, usually before 9am or after 4pm.

Vendor directory

Recommended vendors

These vendors have worked at Mazant before. This directory is a planning reference only; Mazant does not endorse any particular vendor.

Using your own vendorsYou are welcome to use your own vendors. If a vendor is not already an approved Mazant vendor, there is a vendor coordination and onboarding fee of $100 per vendor, not to exceed $500 for the event. This includes one property tour for the vendor, processing of insurance information to confirm compliance, and coordination of move-in and move-out.
