Question

What is the "after party"?

Answer

The after party is going to be the last couple hours of the reception! This part of the night will not be a family friendly event. It is the part if the night where we turn the dance floor into a club scene and invite all of our party people to really let loose. We do not recommend staying if you will not be participating in the party or if you're wanting more of the wholesome family-friendly wedding we will be providing the rest of the day :)
