Dessert Receptions

One of the questions I hear most from brides and grooms is how to cut the budget. Of course we all know the #1 way to cut you budget is by cutting your guest list. But there are other ways to get creative....one of them is a cocktail and dessert reception.

Cocktail and dessert receptions are really lovely in the early afternoon. Consider hiring a jazz quartet and serving a nice selection of white wine and prosecco. Dance the afternoon away and ask friends to meet you later in the evening for an after party.

I absolutely love this option for couples on a budget! Another way to make it work is to begin the wedding ceremony well after the dinner hour - around 8 p.m. - and have an elegant, candlelit champagne & desserts reception to follow.
