Sago Cay Pointe is located at the Grand Floridian, just a monorail hop or a brisk walk away from the the Polynesian! We'll have an assortment of delicious foods for you, both savory and sweet, to enjoy until darkness falls and the fireworks begin!
Please arrive in casual cocktail attire. Whatever you wore to our ceremony will be fine, but you may also wear a LBD, cocktail dress, dress shirt and slacks. There's no need to wear a ballgown or a tuxedo. It may be cooler in the evening than it was during the day so bring a sweater or a jacket.
