Send Off in Style

After an evening celebrating with your family and friends, finish your event at Ravenswood Mansion in style! The sidewalk leading from the front porch steps to our circular driveway naturally lends itself to spectacular send-offs. As you make your way from the mansion to your car with your guests lining either side, the historic facade of the mansion makes a perfect backdrop for your photos.

To help you in your exit strategy planning process, we have listed our approved and prohibited send-off methods, with some examples of past events. If you have a send-off method idea that is not listed below, please reach out to the Event Venue Director for questions and approval.

 

Pre-Approved

  • Bubbles

  • Glow sticks

  • Ribbon wands

  • Pom poms

  • Real flower petals (all petals must be cleaned up prior to departure)

Prohibited

  • Sparklers or fireworks

  • Confetti

  • Rice or birdseed

  • Fake flower petals

  • Floating lanterns or balloons

  • Confetti streamers (that stay attached)

  • Any other items that create a mess

 

Cold Spark Machines

Ravenswood Mansion is happy to be able to allow clients to use the latest wedding send off trend: cold spark machines
To use a cold spark machine for your send off, they must be supplied, set up, and managed by a licensed and insured vendor. The vendor must remain on site to manage the machine through the entire process. To ensure these are used with the utmost safety at our historic sites, all powder used for the cold spark machines are required to be inside powder, even if the machine is being used outside. Prior to using for your send off, or any other area of your event, you must notify the Event Venue Director for approval of machines, companies, and locations. Looking for someone who can supply a cold spark machine? Below are a few names to get you started:
