  • Cuisine. You will present a delicious meal during your wedding reception. However, it would be best to let your guests indulge a little beforehand! So, consider presenting some finger foods and menu items that are easy to carry. In addition, you can’t forget the cocktails! However, know that you can add even more personalization to your big day by presenting some signature drinks. One for you, and one for your partner, and you will be good to go!

  • Entertainment. While dancing most likely won’t be taking place during your cocktail hour, it would still be best to showcase music! Therefore, you should consider booking a quartet to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, booking a photo booth and hiring a caricature artist would provide fun for guests of all ages!
