🍸 Your pre-drinks should have THIS…
The pre-drinks aren’t just something to fill the time between the ceremony & reception — they set the tone for the entire evening. ✨
Here’s our venue-approved checklist 👇🏼
🎶 Something entertaining
Music, beautiful décor, signature drinks, lawn games or a fun little activation — give your guests a reason to mingle, relax & enjoy themselves.
🍴 Good food & drinks
You might not be hungry after saying “I do”… but trust us, your guests are. 😅 Keep the canapés flowing & the drinks cold.
⏰ Keep it to ±90 minutes
Longer isn’t always better. Keep the energy high and avoid that awkward “So… what now?” feeling before the reception.
🥂 Let the newlyweds join the party
Before disappearing for photos, spend some time mingling with your guests. It’s one of the few relaxed moments you’ll have with everyone — make it count. 🤍
The goal? Guests who are relaxed, entertained, well-fed & ready to PARTY when the reception doors open. 🪩✨
With love - Your Venue Team x
