Carriage House Indoor Event Rentals
The carriage house is equipped with spacious restrooms, air-conditioning/fans and heating. A welcoming indoor atmosphere is created with the warm wall colors, carpet and wood window treatments in our reception room, renovated in 2008. A wide, adjoining hallway provides access to the restrooms and can double as a bar or buffet area, while the courtyard area outside can provide additional space for guests to mingle during a cocktail hour.
The Garden Season rental fee for the Carriage House includes parking, admission and tram service for all your guests, and Sonnenberg staff to coordinate your activities.
A non-refundable deposit, half-down, should be sent with your Garden Season Carriage House Private Event contrac, to formally book your event. You then have until 30 days prior to your event to pay the balance. You must still arrange for food and beverages, dishes and linens, etc. through an approved caterer.
Indoor Event Rental Particulars
Until the conclusion of regular business hours (5:30 p.m.), your guests may tour buildings open to the public. New York State law prohibits smoking within 50 feet of any structure. While guests are not permitted to take alcoholic beverages into any gardens, the gardens may be toured until dusk, when we ask that guests return to the Carriage House for the remainder of the evening. For safety reasons, we provide tram service back to the parking lot for all guests.
