Question

Is the reception a buffet?

Answer

No. It is stations-style, so no need for you to make up your mind three months in advance about beef or chicken. There is a wide range of selections including vegetarian options.

Question

Is the reception cash bar or open bar?

Answer

We love you and lets be honest, we don't want you to worry about anything except how much fun you will have with us! We will be having a cocktail hour and open bar during the reception. However, if by chance, you beat us to the museum before 6:15, then the drink is up to you to cover before open bar begins.
