Fees, Features, & Furnishings


Grand Island Mansion Construction Zone

A practical breakdown of costs, inclusions, and on-site resources — built from real experience.

Rather than publishing a generic checklist, we’re documenting what this venue actually includes — and what typically comes at an additional cost. This page is being built using insight from couples, planners, and industry professionals who’ve worked events here, so the information reflects real setups, real invoices, and real expectations.

Not brochure promises. Not fine print surprises.

Every venue defines “included” differently, and that nuance matters. Instead of relying on marketing language or outdated pricing sheets, we’re gathering insight from couples and industry professionals who’ve navigated the logistics firsthand. Their experience helps clarify what’s truly included, what often requires additional investment, and how the space functions on event day — so planning feels informed, not uncertain.
