I Now Pronounce You… Delicious!

A great wedding reception cocktail need not be heavy on spirits to be big on flavor and impact. Top mixologists show you how to put your great taste on display. No matter when a wedding is staged, it is not complete without a toast to the bride and groom. As mixology (the culinary art of cocktail-making) is now all the rage, traditional champagne is being replaced with special wedding cocktails. The addition of a signature cocktail further customizes the reception experience, especially as it can be developed to suit the bride and groom’s personality as well as season, time of day and décor.

Turning up the WOW!!

Today’s weddings are much more like productions than the white weddings of yesteryear…when our parents got married the linens, flowers, food, and the big band were the elements that set the ambiance. Today’s bride looks beyond these elements and often sets her sights on the magical aspect of specialty lighting. Not to say that these aspects are no longer important as they will always be the staple of décor but with lighting these elements will shine in ways your guests never thought possible.
