Nope! Because this is such an intimate wedding, we’re planning to do a large reception in a year or so and will consider it then :)
We’re arriving the afternoon of April 1
No hard plans. The community room at Metro Apartments has been rented for the whole day so it will be available for people to hangout in. Kristen will be getting ready for much of the afternoon and we want people to have independence to explore if they want to.
Everything will be served family style. For main course options, there will be beef short ribs (GF), grilled chicken (GF), grilled salmon (GF), and pesto veggie pasta (V). Plan for warm chocolate chip cookies and a flourless chocolate tart for dessert.
There will be a rehearsal on 4/1 from 4:30-5pm. You are more than welcome to join but the other areas of the conservatory and zoo will not be open. If you would like to see other areas of the conservatory and zoo, it is free to the public during normal business hours.
Yes, we will have an open bar for all of our guests to enjoy complimentary drinks during the reception. The drink menu includes 2 specialty cocktails, beer, and limited wine. Champagne will be available prior to the reception dinner at the Metro Apartments.
