Question
What is the reception like?
Answer
The evening begins with a cocktail hour, followed by a cocktail-style reception with dancing in the ballroom. This is not a sit-down dinner; instead, dinner entrees and appetizers will be stationed around the room for guests to enjoy. Come with a good appetite and bring your dancing shoes!!
Question
How should I write a check out to the bride and groom?
Answer
If you are writing a check, please make it out to Dylan Anderson and/or Natalie Tansky. Making the check out to Dylan Anderson is also fine! Please do not make the check out to “Natalie Anderson” as that is not yet Natalie’s legal name.
