All of our venues have fantastic cocktail spaces! We’re available to assist you in making the most of your outdoor or indoor experience. Arrange the space to host a summer party, shabby chic gab session, or high-class gala. The cocktail hour is the time between your ceremony & reception where your guests can catch up, as many people haven’t seen one another in a while. They are informal enough to allow plenty of socializing, but you can customize the format and style to suit your needs.

We love it when couples have a cocktail-inspired moment. For example, you can add a Mimosa station to your Bloody Mary or make your own. Enjoy a tasting of Anejo or Bourbon.

COCKTAIL HOUR ADVICE

Are you looking for ways to make your wedding day drinks more enjoyable for both you and your guests. Here are some ways to toast to a happy marriage with tasty mocktails and cocktails that will be a big hit on your big day.

Your wedding colors can be matched with your signature cocktails! Personalize your favourite cocktail, such as a vodka cranberry or whisky sour to match your theme.

We love the cocktail nicknames: love potion, I do drink, blushing bride and grinning groom… Or have fun with introducing your pet’s name (or your pet name – this is how your guests will discover that you call each other Peanut or Snoopy).

Our team will ensure that all ingredients are included in the bar package. We also recommend that you let us know in advance if special garnishes would be desired. Keep it simple. Your guests should have fun and enjoy your special day. You can pair your signature cocktail with a prepared beverage that we can make on-demand if you want our bartenders displaying their Tom Cruise juggling skills.

Ice is essential for a cocktail party! There is so much ice. We have at least 1 lb of ice for each guest. Every drink is made at the right temperature.

Different glasses are possible for signature cocktails. There are many options available. You can have your martini in a martini glasses, or go rustic with a mason glass for your mule. Or, you can serve your margarita over the rocks if you don’t like the look of a tall, wide margarita glass.

It is always a good idea to offer soft drinks and snacks alongside alcohol.
