Question

What should I expect at the reception?

Answer

We have decided to have a “cocktail style reception”. Guests should expect a relaxed, modern, and social atmosphere. We will not be hosting a formal seated dinner with assigned seats. Instead, we hope to encourage our guests to explore the dinner options at each food station and mingle with one another while you enjoy the reception space and socialize more freely. After enjoying dinner, we hope our guests are ready to head to the dance floor and dance the night away!
