Welcome Drinks
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Casual
Let's raise a glass and kick off a great wedding weekend! Chief's is a casual sports bar and quite literally the only choice in town to host welcome drinks. Maja hates that it has a claw machine. Katie loves that it has a claw machine. This is a very casual open house. We have a space reserved for you to drink and be besties. The brides will be there from 8-10pm to toast with you before their harem drag them home so they aren't puffy on their wedding day. You can stay as late as you want. You're an adult who reserves the right to make your own choices. Grab a bite beforehand here or across the way at our favorite spot, Le Colonial (reservation recommended), Sophia Steak, or a more low key option like Food Stuffs, Pizza, etc. Parking downtown is relatively easy and free.

After the wedding the shuttle will head back to the Forester to keep the party going in the lobby bar. Note this is a cash bar but late night snacks will be provided. We'll surely make them regret serving espresso martinis. Weee!
