Yes, you can use any licensed caterer. You will also need a licensed bartender. We have a list of recommended caterers, but you are free to choose your own.

No, we do not have a full kitchen. We do have a kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and counter space. There is also a space outside the kitchenette for the caterer to use as a staging ground. This space is all in the basement and food can be taken up in the elevator or on the steps. We encourage caterers to be self sufficient by bringing warmers and setting up a cooking station. We ask that caterers who have not been to the mansion come at least 30 days in advance to see the space.  

We are working on this. We should have one or two caterers ready to give a full package very soon (ask on your tour). We have a tent company that will supply tent, lights, tables, chairs and linens. With these two, you'll have all that you need! 

Absolutely! There is a circular drive that is perfect for food trucks. If your caterer wants to grill, that's perfectly fine as long as the grills are a specified distanced from the beautiful historic mansion so no smoke damage will occur. 

Yes, there is a ground level entrance that leads to an elevator that can get you to the main floor and porch. 

When you rent, you must reserve the amount of hours that will include set up, photos, prep, the event and clean up. Your day of liaison will show you where all tables and chairs are, and you are responsible for setting them up (or your caterer can).  For clean up, we have a crew  come in so all you need to do is remove dishes and linens and centerpieces. We'll take care of the rest, including putting all tables and chairs away and removing trash. 

We have a vendors list that has several vendors who will set up and break down the tent. Because we only schedule one wedding a weekend, you can have the tent set up on Friday and picked up on Monday. If your wedding is under 175, the tables and chairs can be stored in the mansion for pick up. If over that, they will need to be picked up the night of your wedding. 

No, unfortunately, in order to have over 100, you have to have access to the porch or rent a tent. It's too cold to depend on using the porch and we only allow tents in the months of April through October.

If you'd like, you can rent the mansion the night before for a rehearsal and set up. You won't be able to do any set up outside but you can do the inside work and have centerpieces for outside ready to go the next day. Ask about pricing when you come for a tour. 

When you rent at Clifton Mansion, all of the proceeds of the rental support the mission of Civic Works, a non-profit that is housed in the mansion. So, when you get married here, you are helping to transform Baltimore's communities!
