What is a cocktail style reception?

A cocktail-style wedding reception is designed to encourage mingling and socializing. Instead of a formal sit-down dinner, you will enjoy a variety of drinks, hors d'oeuvres, appetizers and food stations in a relaxed atmosphere. High-tops, low cocktail tables and lounge seating will be available, allowing guests to move freely and engage in conversation.

Seating & Space

Outside of a family table, there won’t be assigned seats or a traditional seating chart. We’ll have plenty of cocktail tables, lounge areas, and casual seating both indoors and outdoors so you can relax and enjoy the evening at your own pace. Feel free to move around, mingle, and enjoy the beautiful space.

Are kids invited to the welcome party or reception?

To allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to make all of our planned events adults only.

What should I wear?

Our wedding is cocktail attire, and for May in Columbus we suggest: mid length dresses, elegant separates, sport coats & pants or suits. Ladies, please no black - colors are encouraged. Our venue does have a grassy outdoor space, so bring a light jacket/shawl just in case.

How do I get to the Venue?

If you opt to drive, there is parking at the venue & there will be signage directing you where to park your car. If you plan to uber, you will get dropped off at the front of the property and follow the signs for Brick and Mortar (there are a few venues on the property). For all options, use the following address: 580 N 4th St, Columbus, OH 43215. The venue is in the city (0.6 miles from hotel block), getting an Uber/Lyft to and from the venue will be very easy and it is our suggested mode of transportation.

When should I arrive at the Reception?

Cocktail hour starts at 6pm. The venue cannot accommodate early arrivals, please plan to arrive at 6pm.

How are dietary restrictions handled?

Since we are not doing a formal dinner, we will ensure all food is labeled and outlined as "gluten free", "dairy free", "vegan", etc. so that everyone can enjoy their dinner worry free! Please note any dietary restrictions when you RSVP.

Is there a hotel block?

Yes, the hotel block information is available under the TRAVEL tab of the website.

If I am traveling in, is renting a car necessary?

We don't think a car is necessary! Our Welcome Party, Hotel block, Reception & the suggested activities are all within 10 minutes of the airport & each other. But, if you'd like to have a car, all locations do have parking, so the decision is yours! See the travel page for suggestions on overnight parking at the hotel.
