Fees, Features, & Furnishings

If your wedding vision leans more towards “Downton Abbey” than “backyard barbecue,” let’s talk about Kohl Mansion. Located in Burlingame, California, this historic Tudor-style estate is for couples who appreciate a bit of old-world grandeur without taking themselves too seriously.

The character of Kohl Mansion is all about dramatic elegance. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a majestic brick façade, manicured lawns, and a rose garden that’s perfect for portraits. It’s a place where every detail is meticulously considered and crafted, from the wood-paneled Great Hall to the grand staircase that practically begs for a dramatic entrance.With exclusive use of the mansion and grounds, you have multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to play with. While rental fees can reach up to $20,000, the all-inclusive nature—no corkage or cake-cutting fees—adds significant value.

Wedding Day Blueprint

Getting ready in the Library & Morning Room
We kick off your day in the elegant Library or the Morning Room—think sunlit marble, lattice walls, and a touch of regal charm. You sip your champagne, your bridal party flutters around, and we capture the “still-calm-before-everything-changes” moments.

Ceremony on the Lawn or Rose Garden Terrace
We move to either the sprawling lawn for a grand outdoor affair or the English Rose Garden terrace for something more intimate. The rose bushes, the architecture, the sense of history—it practically decorates itself.

Cocktail Hour on the Terrace & Lawn
Guests mingle on the terrace or stroll the manicured grounds while you sneak off for portrait time. No awkward pauses here—just smooth transitions and vineyard-adjacent elegance.

Dinner & Dancing in the Great Hall or Library
We head indoors to the wood-paneled Great Hall (yes, you’ll feel like royalty) or the Library turned lounge. Dinner, toasts, and laughter ensue; we keep the timeline tight because we’re not here for “what next?” moments.

Sunset Photos & Dance Floor Kick-off
You and your partner steal golden-hour portraits while the playlist shifts and the dance floor opens. The momentum carries you through the night without skipping a beat.

Dessert, Last Call & Send-Off
Cake is served, coffee flows, maybe some gentle swaying by the fire pit (or inside, depending on weather). We wrap up the formal program—but the memories? They linger.

This is your blueprint—your roadmap to magic. Of course, you can shuffle the hours, skip a part, add sparkler exits or surprise confetti (just not too much—we love the historic vibe). At Kohl Mansion, we believe your wedding should feel authentically you, and we’re here to smooth the edges while you shine.

Food & Beverage

Kohl Mansion is elegance with intention. The architecture sets the tone—arched windows, manicured grounds, old-world bones—while the food & beverage program is designed to protect the property and keep events running smoothly. This isn’t a plug-and-play hotel kitchen, but it’s also not a free-for-all. Think structured flexibility with high standards.

There’s no in-house catering. Instead, couples choose from an approved catering list, ensuring their team understands the mansion’s preservation rules, load-in logistics, and service flow. Outside caterers are considered by approval, not assumption.

Kohl Mansion is ideal for couples who want classic Bay Area sophistication without logistical chaos. With the right experienced caterer, the result is a celebration that feels refined, timeless, and beautifully managed—exactly what this kind of venue demands.
