Due to limited venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate select children, mainly from our families and in our wedding parties.

Question
What drinks are available during Cocktail hour?
Answer
There will be an Open Bar during Cocktail hour and the Reception, so please drink responsibly! If you're picky about your brand of alcohol, there will be top-shelf available for purchase. The bar does require ID, so make sure to have that on your person day of. We will also have Non-alcoholic spirits available from Tilden, which is my friend Vanessa's company! Tastes like a sophisticated cocktail, but without the potential negative side effects. I highly recommend giving it a try.
