The Mansion has a few tables provided in the patio area. Ceremony chairs, outdoor reception furniture and all tents should be rented from a rental company.
Bragg-Mitchell Mansion can comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests inside the Mansion for a buffet reception. For larger events you may use the grounds of the Mansion and rent additional seating or tent(s).
Outdoor ceremonies accommodate an unlimited number of guests. The double parlor of the Mansion may be used for indoor ceremonies and can comfortably accept 60-80 guests.
Rental of the Mansion for a reception includes a complimentary bridal portrait appointment during regular office hours with full use of the Mansion and grounds including the bridal suite. The charge for this service for non-clients is $200 for a two hour appointment during regular business hours. Mansion grounds and porches may be used free of charge for bridal portraits any time after hours, and it is always wise to call ahead to make certain no event is scheduled or that a tent will be on the front lawn.
The eight hour rental of the Mansion begins when your hostess unlocks the doors and ends when she locks them again at the end of the event. Any vendors are welcome to work outside the Mansion including on the porches, however no one will be allowed inside the Mansion until the contracted time begins. Most often the eight hour rental is sufficient, but you may add additional hours at the rate of $230 per hour if your event will last longer than typical.
