Welcome to Avanti
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECENT ENGAGEMENT!
Your vision is important to us, and we intend to work closely with you to turn your dreams for your big day into
a reality. We also understand that selecting a venue for your wedding is a big decision. In an effort to help ease
the stress during this initial stage of planning, we have assembled this Wedding Guide for your convenience.
Inside this Wedding Guide you will find a variety of experience-based options that were designed to help
simplify the planning process and allow you to enjoy the wedding of your dreams. Also included are several
Wedding Specials to help you maximize your budget, on-site ceremony details and other important
information.
There are six "Experiences" available that will vary by cuisine, beverage selections and event enhancements.
However, unlike traditional "packages," they can be completely customized to better suit your vision and
budget. And, for couples that want it all...the ultimate wedding day experience and maximized savings,
without sacrificing quality...we encourage you to take a look at the Avanti Experience. It's perfect for you!
When you combine the atmosphere of our historic estate with the exceptional quality of our culinary team
and uncompromising hospitality and services, you are sure to remember your special day as the “event of a
lifetime.” We look forward to continuing the planning process with you!
Thank you for considering Avanti Mansion for your upcoming wedding and reception.

TESTIMONIALS
“The secret to a wonderful event hosted at Avanti Mansion is much more than their
outstanding food and personal service. It also comes down to what happens behind the
scenes - things that the hosts and guests are never aware of. Before, during and after the
event, the Avanti planners, culinary team and operations staff add so much to everyone’s
enjoyment and peace of mind.”
Mike Roman, Founder, CateringGuru.com
“Without question, the Avanti Mansion is an impressive event venue.
The Japanese Garden with its pond and island setting for wedding ceremonies,
the mansion itself, and the garden event space are all very attractive for weddings.
We have visited many event venues in all different markets around the country,
and the Avanti Mansion is one of the most impressive venues we have seen.”
Carl Sacks, Catersource Magazine
”Once in a while, a catering company comes along that has vision, that has a creativity
and has the ability to wow customers with every bite of food. Very rarely does a catering
facility combine new world cuisine, cutting edge design and the traditional values of
customer service that the Avanti Mansion possess. Having the pleasure of consulting for
Avanti over the years, I was able to experience the passion, attention to details and care
of one of the finest catering companies in the country.”
Chef Eric Levine, Author and Food Network “Chopped” Champion

On-Site Ceremonies
The Avanti Mansion .... the perfect setting for couples to exchange their wedding vows.
Selecting a beautiful space for your ceremony is a crucial part in planning
your wedding day. Not only can the Avanti Mansion help create an
incredible reception experience, but each of our three venues also has its
own separate ceremony site for you to enjoy. The four outdoor gardens
provide both natural beauty and romance, while the Library offers a more
traditional, regal, indoor option. In addition, an on-site ceremony gives
you and your guests the convenience of celebrating your special day, from
start to finish, all in one memorable location.
When your ceremony and reception are both held at the Avanti Mansion, the ceremony fee is discounted.
This fee entitles you to the following amenities:
∙ The Bride and her bridesmaids are welcome to come on property two hours prior to the ceremony start time. You can
relax and enjoy time together in our exquisite bridal suite.
∙ A suite hostess will be available while you are on the property to assist you during the event.
∙ Unparalleled photo opportunities. Your photographer may also come two hours prior to the ceremony start time to
take pre-ceremony photos of the moments leading up to the exchanging of vows.
∙ The mini bar will be set up with complimentary sodas, waters and juices. Glassware is included.
∙ A complimentary bottle of champagne will be provided for you to enjoy.
∙ Our chef will prepare an array of goodies for you to enjoy in the bridal suite, prior to the ceremony.
∙ A one-hour ceremony rehearsal prior to the wedding day is included in the ceremony fee. Should your officiant be
unable to attend this rehearsal, your wedding coordinator will lead you and your bridal party through the process.
There is no charge for our coordinator’s direction.
∙ The ceremony fee includes 100 FREE white padded chairs. Additional chairs are available for rent, if desired.
∙ Sand/Unity Candle Ceremonies will be provided a small round table, if requested during planning.
∙ Please note: the Groom and Groomsmen must arrive fully dressed. There are no provisions for on-site dressing for
the gentlemen unless client has paid for "Exclusive Use."
If you don't have an officiant to perform the ceremony, the Avanti Mansion can provide one for you.
The officiant’s fee is $375.
