Question
Food and Drink
Answer
Rather than a meal drop dinner, we will have tables full of cocktail items to share. We also have a dessert table instead of a cake so that there is something for everyone! Please nominate dietary requirements in your RSVP. A range of water, soft drink and alcohol will be provided.
Question
Reception Information
Answer
Our reception will be under the gorgeous marquee. We have a seating plan to make sure that everyone is sitting with people they know. Please refer to the seating chart outside the marquee, and name tags on tables. Although there is a seat for everyone, we would love to see you all on the dance floor after you have eaten to celebrate the night with us. We have crafted a playlist from our favourites, along with your song requests on the RSVP's.
