Question

Gap between Ceremony and Cocktail Hour

Answer

As we anticipate the ceremony ending around 3:00 PM, with cocktail hour beginning at 5:30 PM (doors will open at 5:00 PM), there will be some time between the two events. Guests staying at nearby hotels are welcome to use this time to return to their rooms to relax or freshen up. For those who prefer to stay at the Bellevue, there is also a restaurant and bar on the nineteenth floor, right next to our reception space, where guests can relax and enjoy a drink before the reception begins.
