Cocktail Hour - Clubhouse (1st Floor)
Lake Katherine Nature Center & Botanic Gardens

Now it's time to party! During the extended cocktail hour, you can:
- Enjoy drinks, small bites, and the company of family and friends in the clubhouse.
- Embrace the fall festival vibes with a bag of freshly popped kettle corn. Kernel Dan's will be cooking it up in authentic cast iron kettles behind the clubhouse.
- Listen to live music performed by the Brass String Chamber Ensemble. We selected some of our favorite popular songs, see if you can recognize them!
- Pose for photos with the bride and groom with Fuller Photo Co. Because this is a smaller wedding, we are hoping to capture moments with everyone on our big day!
- Explore the lake and gardens and take in the (hopefully) fall colors. For the extra ambitious, there is a 1-mile nature loop around the lake. We fell in love with this location as soon as we saw it and we hope you will too!

Dinner and Beyond - Clubhouse (2nd Floor)
Lake Katherine Nature Center & Botanic Gardens

Nothing says autumn like comfort foods! Dinner will be served up buffet style by Sharko's BBQ. As many of you know, we have very different opinions when it comes to food, but BBQ is one thing we both enjoy and can't wait to share with you. Please let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions and we will accommodate.
The one food we love more than BBQ is ice cream. Ice cream sundaes, to be precise. YUM! Enjoy a hand scooped sundae with all the toppings for dessert.
After dinner, there will be more time to mingle or bust a move on the dance floor. There will be a lot of kids at the wedding, so we are hoping they will help get the party started! We are working on a playlist now, so send song requests our way.
