Reception Guide

 Schedule

Ceremony Start: 3:30pm. The ceremony location is a short walk from the parking area, but we will have golf-cart trams running back and forth for anyone who wants to ride instead of walk. Make sure to arrive about 15 minutes before the ceremony at the latest in order to make the start. We will be starting on time. If you arrive late, that’s OK! Walk on over or ride a tram, but don’t be surprised if staff holds you in a waiting spot until its safe to enter! :)

Immediately After: Pictures! If you are going to be in a picture, there will be separate communications.

Happy Hour and a Half: Between the end of the ceremony and 5:45pm will be the hang out time. We’ve got a couple things going on here.

  • Picture Guestbook - we’ll have some cameras sitting out and a guestboard - take a selfie, write a message, and post it on the board!

  • Jenga - play icebreaker Jenga at the cocktail tables while enjoying the snacks and drinks

  • Spirits Tasting - We have a course of 6 special liquors to taste, if you wish. The bartenders will have rocks glasses and will pour them one at a time for you. Gather your friends together and try some really incredible whiskey, armagnac, and rum.

  • Mingle With Us! - Liz and Adam will be joining the party. Right after fam pictures we’ll be wandering in and mingling, so come say hi! We hope to spend a little time chatting with everyone if we can, but if you miss us before we bounce out for sunset pictures, get us after dinner.

  • Unity in Glass - We’re having a glass sculpture created from colored glass that we’ll mix in the ceremony, and you can add a pinch of your favorite color yourselves.

Meal Service: At 5:45pm, the salad course will be plates down. Finally! That will progress through entrees down at 6:00pm, and a brief toasts by the Maid of Honor and Father of the Bride at 6:30pm. We’ll do a simple cake cutting but it won’t be a show, and then at 6:55pm or so (maybe a couple minutes early or late depending) the Bridge and Groom with have a short speech and that will kick off the dancing.
