Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

Our reception will be cocktail style, with no formal sit-down dinner...think cocktail hour all night, with plenty of passed food and stations to fill you up! There will also be no assigned seating - we encourage making new friends or reuniting with old ones and spending plenty of time on the dance floor! The MOMI's galleries will be open for an hour or so after the ceremony for guests to explore and play. The museum is incredibly interactive so we encourage everyone to spend some time checking out the exhibits - they're amazing!
