The reception ends at midnight, and yes, there will be a very casual after party at the hotel. More food, alcohol, music, and party games will be provided

Question

May I take photos during the ceremony to post online?

Answer

While we don’t mind you posting photos of us on social media, please refrain from doing so during the ceremony. We hired an amazing photographer and videographer that will capture all of those beautiful photos and moments, it would be a shame if they were ruined by guests taking photos in the background
