8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
If you would like the opportunity to greet the bride and groom the night before, they plan to be on the rooftop (The Percheron) at the Crossroads Hotel following their rehearsal dinner for an informal welcome party (weather dependent). Please note, there is no space reserved for our party so it is first come, first serve. This is one of our favorite views in the city. In the case of inclement weather or overcrowding, they will be in The Crossroads Hotel lobby bar.
5:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Please try to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes early. Please visit the RSVP tab to confirm your attendance.
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Cocktail hour will begin immediately following the ceremony, in the same space (the doors will open as soon as the ceremony ends). As a thank-you for celebrating with us, we’re excited to offer something a little special: a portrait-style photo experience during cocktail hour. A professional photographer will be available to take timeless, studio-quality portraits of you and your loved ones — think red carpet, not photo booth. The stunning original 1910 stained glass will be your backdrop, and the final images will be perfect for framing, holiday cards, or just a gorgeous keepsake.
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
The reception will follow the cocktail ceremony in the basement of The Melrose Abbey venue.
