Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, our reception will be cocktail-style. That means more standing and mingling, with high-top tables and some seating throughout the space. Food will be served in the form of hearty hors d’oeuvres and stations (so no one goes hungry!). We’ll also have a coat rack available, so you can keep your hands free for a drink, a plate, or the dance floor.
Please arrive at 4:00!
