Each couple will receive the number of drink tickets based on their package/add-on during the rehearsal dinner. Each guest you give the drink ticket to will receive a complimentary drink at the bar. Additional drinks are available for purchase.

While the shared format limits extensive customization, we’ll work with you on personal touches such as your vows, music selection, reception activities, and anything that will not take away from other couples having their special moments as well.

The rehearsal allows you and your guests to familiarize yourselves with the venue layout, timing, and flow of the ceremony to ensure everything runs smoothly on your wedding day.

To maintain the seamless experience and cohesive aesthetic of the event, we use a curated team of trusted vendors included in your package. However, if there are certain vendors you would like to include you must let the organizer know that way we can plan approve and plan for it.
