Sparklers are allowed, but Chinese lanterns, or aerials of any kind are not allowed on-site under any circumstances. You don't want to be the one who burns the place down after 100+ years.
what's the policy on food?
We believe food is a big part of your wedding + want you to have a choice in who you use. For this reason we do not have in-house catering. You are welcome to bring in any caterer you wish, however, we do require that all caterers are insured + complete an on-site walk through with a member of our staff 30 days prior to your event. If you need a list of recommendations we've got a great list of qualified + insured vendors that work with us on a regular basis.

Our alcohol policy is BYOB. If you choose to bring alcohol on the premises, you must provide your own cups, ice, and alcohol. Only beer, champagne, and wine are allowed. The bartender must be provided by The Grand Victorian, for a fee of $450 for two hours, and $45 for each additional hour.
