If you’re set on a mansion or estate wedding in the Greater NYC area, the look is easy to picture—columned porticos, manicured lawns, a grand staircase for photos. The harder part is figuring out what it actually costs. Pricing for these venues varies wildly, from flat rental fees under $10,000 for a midweek estate booking to six-figure buyouts at Gold Coast mansions with 150-person minimums—and most venues bury the real numbers behind “starting at” language or require a sales call before you see a single figure.
That’s why this roundup focuses on real numbers. Every venue included here is based on actual pricing documents, so you can see how costs break down—whether that’s per-person catering tiers, flat venue and site fees, food & beverage minimums, or the administrative fees and taxes that quietly add 20% or more to your total. All of this data comes from Tulle Together’s Wedding Pricing Transparency Project, a crowdsourced database with 16,000+ real pricing PDFs from venues across the country and internationally, designed to make budgeting a lot less guesswork and a lot more strategic.

Arrow Park — Monroe, NY (Hudson Valley)
Set on a private estate an hour outside NYC, this 1909 Italianate Mansion sits atop a cliff overlooking a waterfall-fed lake and Sterling Forest, with sprawling lawns, towering trees, and classic stone architecture that give it an old-world, fairytale feel. Couples can host ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after-party across the mansion, pavilion, and courtyard spaces, with the mansion courtyard holding up to 220/165 (standing/seated) and the lakefront up to 200. Base package pricing at Arrow Park runs seasonally and by day of week: Fridays range from $15,000 to $22,500, Saturdays from $17,500 to $27,500, Sundays from $12,500 to $20,000, and weekdays from $10,000 to $15,000 (peak season is May, June, September, and October; off-peak is December through March). The package includes exclusive use of the grounds, a 12:30pm arrival with two bridal suites, a full event timeline (1-hour ceremony, 1-hour cocktail hour, 4-hour reception, 2-hour after party), day-of coordination and staff, linens and furniture, two golf carts with drivers, and rental of 12 onsite bedrooms (sleeping up to 28) for the wedding night. Pricing excludes catering, liquor, 8.125% NYS sales tax, a 23% service fee, and a 5% Orange County occupancy tax on overnight rooms — for reference, a peak Saturday base of $27,500 runs closer to $35,480 once taxes, service fee, and room fees are factored in. Saturday weddings require a minimum guest count of 100.
Bourne Mansion — Oakdale, NY (Long Island)
Set on 205 acres of a historic Vanderbilt-era estate along the Great South Bay, this turn-of-the-century mansion is one of Long Island’s grandest wedding venues, known for its Grand Ballroom with soaring vaulted ceilings, a decorative glass dome, crystal sconces, and gilded plasterwork — a setting often compared to the Great Gatsby’s most opulent parties. Outdoor ceremonies on the great lawn, column-trimmed courtyard cocktail hours, and manicured gardens down to the water round out the estate, which hosts only one event per day. Per-person pricing at Bourne Mansion varies by day and season: Fridays (min. 150 adults) run from $149pp to $209pp, Saturdays (min. 175 adults) from $165pp to $235pp, and Sundays (min. 125 adults) from $129pp to $185pp, with Sunday holidays at $225pp (175 min.) and New Year’s Eve at $239pp (175 min.). A 22% administrative fee and 8.75% NY State sales tax are added on top of the per-person price, plus a suggested $12pp maitre d’/staff gratuity. Additional fees include a $1,500 ceremony fee (½ hour), a $1,000 ceremony site fee, and a separate site fee payable to Lessing’s ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on season and day. A $5,000 deposit reserves the date, with the remaining balance due in installments through 90 days before the event.
Brecknock Mansion — Greenport, NY (North Fork, Long Island)
Overlooking the Long Island Sound on the historic North Fork, this 1857 Italianate mansion combines stone architecture with sweeping lawns and a cliffside view of the water, hosting only one wedding per weekend so couples have the full property to themselves. Peak-season (May–October) wedding package pricing for up to 175 guests totals $16,400, broken into a $9,600 venue fee (on-site coordinator, on-site ceremony, day-long use of four private wedding suites, prior-day access for drop-off and rehearsal, restroom attendant, security/parking staff, and post-day pickup access, plus weather-permitting access to the cliff overlook for photos) and a $6,800 tent package (100’x40′ reception tent with lighting and dance floor, plus a 20’x20′ catering tent) required for weddings of 83+ guests; smaller weddings of 82 guests or fewer can skip the reception tent but still require the 20’x20′ catering tent at $800. The venue fee is tax-exempt and the tent price includes tax, with no added administrative fees. Catering is additional and billed directly through the venue’s approved caterers, and optional add-on packages are available, including a DJ package at $2,400 and a full floral package at $3,000.
Curry Estate — Hopewell Junction, NY (Hudson Valley)
Family-owned and run by the six Curry sisters, this 1863 Georgian Colonial estate sits on ten landscaped acres and blends the feel of a European inn with timeless estate elegance, hosting just one wedding per day. The Grand Ballroom holds up to 200 guests under crystal chandeliers and 23 windows of natural light, with additional ceremony options in the outdoor pavilion or beside an indoor fireplace, plus an on-site restaurant, speakeasy-style bar, and 16 guest rooms so the whole weekend can happen without leaving the property. Curry Estate offers two all-inclusive per-person packages for 2026. The Platinum Package (five-hour top-shelf open bar, six passed hors d’oeuvres, two display stations plus one chef-attended station, and a four-course dinner) runs $164pp to $209pp depending on day and season — Saturdays and holiday weekends at $194pp (100-guest minimum), Friday/Sunday at $184pp, November–April at $179pp/$169pp, holidays at $209pp, and Monday–Thursday at $164pp (75-guest minimum).

Mountainville Manor — Mountainville, NY (Hudson Valley)
An intimate 19th-century Victorian estate at the base of Schunnemunk Mountain, about an hour north of NYC, Mountainville Manor pairs old-world charm — a wraparound porch, parlor, and gazebo grounds — with modern updates like A/C and a sound system, and hosts just one wedding a day with James Beard Award-winning Chef Craig Shelton running a scratch, farm-to-table kitchen sourced from local Hudson Valley purveyors. Ceremony and reception can happen at the charming gazebo, on the open grounds, or indoors in the grand ballroom as a rain backup, with cocktail hour on the candlelit Victorian porch and firepit area. Wedding pricing is per person and varies by package and season. The Burgundy Package (five-hour event with premium open bar, five passed hors d’oeuvres, one display station, and a four-course dinner) runs $165pp (December–March) to $175pp (April–November) for 2026/2027, rising to $170pp/$180pp in 2028.

de Seversky Mansion — Old Westbury, NY (Long Island’s Gold Coast)
Built in 1918 as the private home of industrialist Alfred I. du Pont and now part of NYIT’s campus, this Gold Coast mansion offers a Gatsby-era setting with manicured gardens, stone fountains, a lake view patio, and an oak-paneled ballroom with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace — hosting only one wedding at a time. The property’s venue space runs six hours (ceremony, cocktail hour, and a four-hour reception) with 10am access to on-site suites for breakfast, lunch, and champagne, and offers Traditional, European, or Gatsby-style reception formats.

A luxury upgraded menu starts at $375pp. Packages include a top-shelf open bar, in-house catering, valet, staff, tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, and silverware; vendors, wedding cake, and gratuity are not included, though there’s no cake-cutting fee. Children 4 and under are complimentary and ages 5–12 are half price; all pricing is subject to a 22% administrative fee and 8.625% NY sales tax.
Hempstead House at Sands Point Preserve — Sands Point (Port Washington), NY (Long Island’s Gold Coast)
Built in 1912 as the Gould-Guggenheim family’s Tudor-style summer estate, this 50,000-square-foot, 40-room mansion is one of the North Shore estates said to have inspired The Great Gatsby, with a 60-foot vaulted entry foyer, a restored Wurlitzer theatre organ, and landscaped gardens overlooking the Long Island Sound. The mansion seats up to 250 guests (or up to 350 cocktail-style), with the surrounding Gardens accommodating up to 500 for a seated reception — though there’s no indoor backup for parties over 250 and tents are no longer permitted. Rather than set packages, pricing here is à la carte: Philip Stone Catering, the exclusive caterer, has menus starting at $315pp with a 150-guest minimum (covering ten passed hors d’oeuvres, four cocktail stations, a plated first course, choice of three entrées, plated dessert, premium open bar, and staff), plus a 20% administrative fee and tax. A separate Conservancy venue fee covers use of the mansion and gardens from 9am to midnight and runs $10,000 (Monday–Thursday) to $16,000 (Saturdays), with Fridays at $12,000 and Sundays at $14,000; a $5,000 refundable security deposit is also required.

Tarrytown House Estate — Tarrytown, NY (Hudson Valley)
Set on 26 wooded acres overlooking the Hudson River, this Gilded Age estate — once the private residence of Mary Duke Biddle — pairs the granite-façade Biddle Mansion and Georgian-style King Mansion with a Statue Garden of classical stone sculptures and a West Terrace overlooking the river valley, all reached through stone pillars and iron gates. Couples can marry beneath century-old trees on the lawn or in the Statue Garden, with cocktail hour and after-parties available in Cellar 49, a former speakeasy beneath the Biddle Mansion with exposed brick and copper ceilings. 2026–2027 per-person pricing spans three tiers — Biddle, Estate, and Grand Duke — and varies by season and day, with a 150-adult minimum required for all Saturdays. January–March runs $155pp to $175pp on Fridays/Sundays and $175pp to $275pp on Saturdays; the peak April–early November season (with a 175-guest Saturday minimum in September/October) runs $200pp to $285pp on Fridays/Sundays and $220pp to $305pp on Saturdays; and late November–December runs $165pp to $240pp on Fridays/Sundays and $185pp to $285pp on Saturdays. A separate site/ceremony fee applies: $2,000 with no on-site ceremony or $2,750 with one. Pricing is subject to a 12% service charge and a 13% administrative fee (retained by the hotel, not a gratuity) on top of food and beverage, plus applicable taxes.
The Briarcliff Manor — Briarcliff Manor, NY (Hudson Valley)
Originally built in the early 1900s as a farm and retirement home for William Fuller, this white-columned Colonial Revival estate has been fully restored to blend historic charm with modern design, overlooking the Hudson River Valley and hosting weddings for up to 185 guests. The property offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour options — manicured lawn and garden settings with valley views, or a classic-architecture reception room with grand chandeliers and warm lighting — plus a plush pink-and-gold Bridal Suite and a separate Groom’s Suite for pre-ceremony prep. Pricing runs in two tiers. The Silver Package (mid-week/daytime events) runs $8,000–$12,000 Monday–Wednesday and $10,000–$15,000 for Thursday evenings and weekend afternoons. The Gold Package (prime evening dates) runs $20,000–$30,000 on Friday/Sunday and $28,000–$35,000 on Saturday, with holiday rates and minimum guest counts varying by season. These estate fees include exclusive use of the grounds, Bridal and Groom’s Suites, front and back areas, both floors, votives, tables, chairs, standard linens, menu printing, fire pits, and heat lamps, along with an events director, maître d’, in-house service and bar staff, in-house décor and culinary teams, chiavari chairs, white linens, china, flatware, and crystal. An on-site ceremony can be added for $1,750 (weekdays/weekend mornings) or $2,250 (Friday–Sunday), including Bridal/Groom’s Suite access, elegant seating, butlered champagne on arrival, and day-of coordination. All pricing is subject to a 22% administrative fee and NY State sales tax.
The Mansion at Oyster Bay — Woodbury, NY (Long Island’s Gold Coast)
Designed by architects Delano and Aldrich and built in 1918, this 120-acre Gold Coast estate later belonged to art collector Alyssa Mellon Bruce, who hosted Gatsby-style parties throughout the 1920s and ’30s — an atmosphere the venue still carries through French doors, black-and-white marble flooring, a winding staircase, candelabra wall sconces, and a dark-wood ballroom lit by chandeliers, all on manicured grounds and hosting one wedding at a time. 2027 per-person pricing is tiered by day, season, and guest minimum: Monday–Wednesday runs a flat $119pp year-round, while weekend and Thursday pricing shifts seasonally — Fridays range from $139pp (winter) up to $185pp (peak summer/fall), Saturdays from $159pp to $199pp, and Sundays from $129pp to $159pp, each with escalating guest minimums (100 to 200 people) depending on the date. Children 4–12 are half price and under 3 are free; a separate $1,500 ceremony fee applies, and all pricing is subject to a 22% administrative fee plus 8.625% NY sales tax, with staff gratuities left to the host’s discretion. The venue also offers a discounted $6,295 vendor bundle (a $2,000 savings) covering full-day photography, DJ/MC for cocktail hour and a 4-hour reception, and bridal party florals, plus free vendor meals and room uplighting.
Edgewood Mansion at Hutton Brickyards — Kingston, NY (Hudson Valley)
Part of the Hutton Brickyards property on the banks of the Hudson River, this 19th-century mansion sits on a quiet, secluded hilltop overlooking the river — InsideHook described it as feeling “more like a stay at an old friend’s house… assuming said friend has recently come into an inheritance in the form of a 19th century mansion and has exceedingly good taste in décor.” The estate offers a manicured 150’x300′ lawn and porch for ceremonies, an intimate white gazebo with river views, and a restored 19th-century Carriage House with a stylish bar, disco ball, and brick patio for dinner and dancing (seating up to 150), plus a moody green parlor and bar for rehearsal dinners and getting ready. Pricing is structured around a food & beverage minimum plus a separate venue rental fee: peak season (May–October) requires a $25,000 F&B minimum and $15,000 venue rental, while mid-season (April and November) runs $15,000 F&B minimum and $10,000 venue rental. On top of that, catering packages run per person — the Hutton Classic at $275pp (5 passed bites, a market station, 3 mains, salad, 2 sides, 3 dessert bites, and a 5-hour standard open bar) or the Hutton Premium at $315pp (7 passed bites, 3 sides, 5 dessert bites, and a 5-hour premium open bar with top-shelf spirits). A full buyout includes use of the mansion and all ceremony/celebration spaces from 8am Saturday through 3pm Sunday load-out, plus a required two-night reservation of all 12 inn-style guest rooms (parquet floors, antique fireplaces, and in a few rooms, clawfoot tubs). Prices are exclusive of taxes and a 24% administrative fee, which covers event staffing; outside cakes are welcome with no plating fee.
There’s no single “right” price point for a mansion or estate wedding in the Greater NYC area—but there is a massive range, and understanding how each venue structures its pricing is what actually keeps your budget under control. Some properties price per person and bundle in nearly everything, from open bar to florals to a wedding coordinator; others charge a flat venue or site fee on top of an à la carte caterer, so the number on the brochure is only the starting point. Add in administrative fees that run 12% to 24%, NY sales tax, ceremony fees, and guest minimums that jump with the season or the day of the week, and two venues that look similarly priced at first glance can land tens of thousands of dollars apart once the full bill comes due.
