At 5:00 pm, we'll start with cocktails and our red wine fountain outside, with ample garden games (cornhole, airsoft pistols) At 7:00 pm we'll transition to dinner in the barn with a vocalist setting the ambience. At 9:00 pm, we'll have our first dance, then dancing with the live salsa band until 1 am. Cigars will be enjoyed throughout, our barrel-aged Sazeracs, and Old-fashioneds will flow aplenty, and we'll dance the night away until the wee hours of the morning, at which point, our trusty shuttle will take everyone back to Graves Lodge. It'll be a night to remember!
