We are having a traditional New Orleans cocktail reception. New Orleans receptions are typically not seated dinners but consist of passed items at the start of the reception, open action stations and buffets during the reception, lots of beverages, and a highly dynamic and social atmosphere that allows guests to move freely about the reception space. Seating is left open for guests to choose their own seats and tables. We will have our first dance at the beginning of the reception, opening the dance floor immediately for everyone's enjoyment. So enjoy the music while you make your food and drink selections. Now that we are together forever, please feel free to sit wherever!
