Unlike traditional sit-down receptions, a cocktail style wedding features a more relaxed and social atmosphere. Guests are treated to a variety of food stations, small plates, and signature cocktails, rather than a formal multi-course meal. Our hope is to create a unique, fun experience for all of our guests that encourages mingling, conversation, and dancing. There will still be tables and seating for those who wish to sit, as well as outdoor lounge seating complete with heaters and blankets. If you have any concerns about seating or dietary restrictions please reach out to us prior to the wedding!
