Weddings & Special Occasions
Thank you for your interest in hosting a wedding or wedding reception at the Batcheller Mansion Inn. The Batcheller Mansion offers an architecturally renowned historic home for your wedding or catered event in conjunction with your wedding day. The Mansion offers nine guest rooms all with private baths as well as a luxurious suite of Common Rooms on our main floor including our elegant living room, formal dining room and club-like library. Our guest rooms fall into three categories: standard, superior and deluxe. You may book our guest rooms individually for yourself; your family or your overnight guests or you may book the entire house and enjoy the exclusive use of our Common Rooms as well as having all our guest rooms to assign as you choose. Our Common Rooms as well as our guest rooms, with their seasonally adjusted rates, may be viewed at our website or discussed by calling the Innkeeper. Any overnight guests must vacate their rooms by noon on the day of departure so that guest rooms can be prepared for arriving guests. There is a ten percent discount offered off the seasonal room rates between November and March when all the guest rooms in the Mansion are booked. There is a two night minimum for weekends between April and October and we do not host events or functions during the annual Saratoga Racing Season.
In order to use our Common Rooms to hold a wedding function, be it day or evening, all of our guest rooms must be reserved for your use. For a daytime function, any event between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm there is a facility fee of $250.00; for an evening function, anything between 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm, there is a facility fee of $500.00. Morning events such as wedding breakfasts or bunches, which must follow the night of guest room occupancy, may begin no earlier than 8:00 am and must conclude by 3:00 pm with all catering breakdown and clean-up completed by 4:00 pm. All evening events must conclude by 10:00 pm and all catering breakdown and clean-up must be completed by 10:30 pm.
All food and beverage service for a function or event is done exclusively by our catering partner Black Diamond Caterers: no outside food or beverage may be brought into the house to be served in our Common Rooms except by Black Diamond Caterers.
