Events at the house
A family gathering, a small wedding, a corporate offsite or a photo shoot — each one takes the whole house, and each one is an enquiry rather than an instant booking.
An event is an enquiry. An event is an enquiry, not a booking. Nothing on this site confirms a date for an event — the enquiry reaches a person, the date is held while it is discussed, and only a confirmation in the office takes the house off sale.
How many
| What | How many | The condition |
|---|---|---|
| Seated, parlour and garden together | thirty-four | Assumes the garden is usable, which between December and the middle of April it is not. |
| Seated, the parlour alone | sixteen | The long table at its full length in a room of twenty-four by sixteen feet. This is the number to plan a February date around. |
| Seated, the garden alone | eighteen | Under and around the pergola, in about eleven hundred square feet of garden. |
| Standing, throughout | sixty | Across the parlour, the garden level and the garden. The stair is the constraint, not the floor area. |
| Can stay the night | eleven | In five bedrooms plus the loft mezzanine. There is no twelfth bed. |
Four kinds of event
Every one of these takes the whole house, the garden and both kitchens for the day, and each has its own page with its own worked-out nights.
10:00am - 10:00pm
A birthday, an anniversary, a christening lunch, or the reason everybody is in New York in the same week.
$1,250 for the day · by enquiry, not instant booking
12:00pm - 11:00pm
A ceremony in the garden or the parlour, a meal at the long table, and the wedding party asleep upstairs.
$2,400 for the day · by enquiry, not instant booking
9:00am - 6:00pm
A day away from the office for a team of up to twenty-two, fifteen minutes from Midtown.
$1,450 for the day · by enquiry, not instant booking
8:00am - 6:00pm
A period interior with a bay window, twelve-foot ceilings, a garden and a roofline, in one building.
$1,100 for the day · by enquiry, not instant booking
The kitchens
Two kitchens, used together, is what makes an event here work at all. Neither is a commercial kitchen and neither has staff of its own.
Parlour floor, behind the front room
The one that makes a whole-house let work.
Garden level, open to the sitting room
The everyday one, and the one a caterer uses as the cold side.
Top floor, along the sitting-room wall
Small, and honestly described as small.
There is no in-house catering and no kitchen staff on the payroll. What there is instead is the space: both kitchens for a caterer to work in, with the parlour kitchen as the hot side, and the same arrangement serves a corporate day — both kitchens, so a caterer can work while the room is in use. A caterer you bring, or the cooking you do yourselves, happens in one kitchen or both; nobody on the premises serves the food or the drink. Drink itself is a separate question, and the honest answer to it is on its own page: We do not hold a liquor licence.
Every event at this house finishes its music at 10:00pm, indoors and outside, on every night of the year including the night of a wedding. That is not a house preference that can be negotiated on the day — the houses on either side are lived in, and the garden wall is seven feet of brick rather than a hundred yards of field. music off at ten, indoors and out, on every night of the year including the night of an event.
The fullest case
A small wedding is the event that actually takes a setup night and a clear-down night, which is the closest this house comes to a weekend take-over. The nights below are what the calendar actually holds for one.
| Night | Why it is held |
|---|---|
| 11 June 2027, Friday | Setting up the day before |
| 12 June 2027, Saturday | The day itself — the house cannot also take an arrival at three that afternoon |
| 13 June 2027, Sunday | Clearing down, so the next changeover is not done at midnight |
three nights in total, and the day rate of $2,400 covers all of them. It is not an upsell; it is the arithmetic of a house that has to be cleaned between one party and the next guest.
Said plainly
Two things, regardless of which of the four events above it is: Drink at an event is brought in by you or by your caterer and served by them. And the ceremony can happen in the garden or the parlour. The legal marriage is a separate thing and it is not ours. Both are read in full, and linked to their own pages, on the small-weddings page, because a wedding is where they matter most — but they are true of every event this house takes.
An event is an enquiry, not a booking. Nothing on this site confirms a date for an event — the enquiry reaches a person, the date is held while it is discussed, and only a confirmation in the office takes the house off sale.
Thirty-four seated is the parlour and the garden together and it assumes the garden is usable. Indoors alone the house seats sixteen at the long table and about ten more at the garden-level table, in a different room. That is the number to plan a February wedding around.
An enquiry, not a booking. Tell us the date, the kind of event and roughly how many guests, and somebody in the office replies and holds the date while you talk it through.
