Question! Do you host a cocktail hour, during your wedding? Bigger question, do you need one?

We get this question all the time from our Clients, with some who are genuinely stressing out about whether they should have one or not. And we're here to explain to you a) what it is, and b) why you would need it. 

There are definitely things to consider when deciding if you need one, such as: 

• Logistics
• The location of the ceremony to reception
• What to serve at your bar
• Entertainment

Take these as tools to plan out your ideal cocktail hour!
