Does my eight hour rental of the Mansion include time for the caterer and other vendors to set up?
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 $200 per hour if your event will last longer than typical.
