Frequently Asked Questions
What does the rental fee include?
Through 2022 and 2023, our $3,000 Barn rental fee includes your ceremony, reception, our rectangular tables and white Samsonite folding chairs. It also includes use of the house basement, bathroom facilities, Schoolhouse, picnic tables and grounds.
Are there any other fees?
There is a fee of $140 payable to the Town of Colonie which covers a program aide who opens and closes the site as well as serves as a liaison between the wedding couple and the caterer. The Town of Colonie requires proof of homeowner's, renter's or condo insurance with minimum coverage of $300,000. If this coverage is not met, there could be an additional fee to purchase a rider for the day of your event. Prices vary depending on your insurance carrier. You will also need to provide caterer and DJ insurance.
There may be an additional $125 fee payable to the Town of Colonie if any tents are erected. This covers the cost of the inspection of the tent.
Do I have to use a specific caterer?
No, you are free to choose any caterer you wish although we are happy to provide you with suggestions of caterers who have worked well here in the past. Your caterer must also provide proof of insurance.
What is the application process like?
Once the decision is made to have your event here, the staff at Pruyn House will fill out an application and mail it to the applicant. Upon review and acceptance, the applicant mails back a signed copy with the deposit of $500. It is helpful but not necessary to include insurance documentation at this time. When the application is received, it is forwarded to the town attorney who reviews it and then grants permission for site usage.
