menu. Pricing varies from menu to menu, but generally speaking the average
food and beverage costs for a five hour open-bar dinner reception with butlered hot and cold hors d'oeuvres is typically $75-$80 per person before tip, tax,and site fee. Actual charges will depend on your specific menu choices. Our staff can help you design an offering that fits your

Our menu
Sweet potato bisque laced with crème fraîche and a
dried apple chip. Chiffonade of Boston bib with radicchio and thinly
sliced mangoes and avocado slices,crumbled chèvre tossed in a papaya
vinaigrette and topped with a plaintain chip. Roasted salmon
marinated in apple cider served with garlic mashed potatoes and a sweet potato bird’s
nest. Australian rack of lamb roasted to perfection. These are but
a few of the sumptuous offerings from which you can choose. Entree prices range from $19-$36 with many delicious choices in the mid-twenties.
Wedding cakes
From fondants to butter creams our very talented chef can create
your perfect wedding cake. Bring him a photo or work with him
to re-create your own vision. Cake prices vary based on the complexity of the design, but range from $3.50 - $8.00 per slice.
Cocktails wine and champagne
The Four Chimneys offers both a cash bar and an open bar option.
With the open bar option your bill is based on the actual number
of drinks poured and the actual wine and champagne bottles opened.
Typically the hosts select a red and a white wine to pour with
dinner and a champagne for the toast. While each party varies,
for budgeting purposes you can usually factor $27 - $32 per person
for alcohol if you are running an open bar for a five hour reception.
Taxes and other fees
A 9 % meals tax, 10% alcohol tax and 20% gratuity will be added.
Because
we are a small, intimate inn, it is usually necessary to book all
eleven rooms for Friday and Saturday night if you are planning a
Saturday evening wedding. More importantly, this allows us to focus
on your reception only; we are not distracted by serving other guests.
Typically a bride and groom will secure rooms with their credit
card and then let guests pay for their own rooms upon arrival. Click
here to view room rates. The restaurant is closed to the public
on the day of the event and is generally open
to the public on the night prior to your event unless you choose
to have your rehearsal dinner at The Four Chimneys.
