FAQ
Planning an event comes with a lot of questions.
We know that.
That’s why our Event Team is here to guide you every step of the way.
WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF EACH EVENT SPACE?
The Full Brownstone (Garden, Main Dining Room and Parlor Floor) can host up to 80 people for a floating or 60 for a seated meal. In the case of rain, the garden has to be tented for groups above 60 guests.
We also offer two partial Brownstone options:
The Brownstone, without the Garden, can be booked for up to 60 guests for a floating event up to 40 for a seated meal.
If you would like to book only the lower level of the Brownstone (Garden and Main Dining Room) we can accommodate a maximum of 32 guests floating or seated.
HOW MUCH IS A WEDDING AT MAISON MAY?
There is no exact answer to this question because pricing depends on the day, time, space and food & beverage packages you chose. Overall costs for private events can range between approximately $7,000 to approximately $35,000 before taxes.
Brownstone rental costs start at $3,000 for a 3-hour daytime event.
Per person food and beverage packages range between $90 and $145 per person for a brunch event and $180 to $260 for an evening event.
All prices are followed by an 18% Admin fee and 8.875% taxes.
