Because one day isn't enough...

From 4pm until late, we're hosting a laid-back day 2 get together. Think wedding debriefs, questionable dance floor replays, more drinks and an evening buffet to keep us going.

Come as you are, bring your stories from the night before and help us squeeze every last drop out of the celebrations.
