Casual
In town early? We'd love to see you! We're determining a good informal meeting place for Friday evening.
3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
Please join us for this precious opportunity to gather and get to know one another in advance of the wedding! We have reserved a semi-private outdoor space (the "Hop Garden") at Wild Heaven Brewery - Avondale Estate location, which is a short drive from the hotel block and wedding venue. We will have a capped tab open at the bar and some light bites available. There will likely be live music.
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail Attire
The main event! Doors open at 4:30 for you to take your seat. The venue has pre-paid valet parking. Our ceremony will be held outdoors in a small garden patio, weather permitting. Cocktail hour will be held after the ceremony in an outdoor, tented space. This will be followed by an indoor-outdoor mingling-style reception and dinner. The food will be a mix of southern foods served at stations so you can try a variety of our tasty southern food! There will be some vegetarian and vegan options. We will have an open bar during the reception!
10:00 pm
We suggest Thinking Man, a dive bar an easy ~10 minute walk from Wahoo Grill, as a gathering point if the party is still going! They are open until 3am and have a DJ starting at 11pm.
