  • The entire wedding is located at one place — The River Café.

    We will start with the wedding ceremony in the garden. Immediately following, the reception will take place in the same location, so no need to travel between the ceremony and dinner.

    Schedule of the day (all one location):

    5 PM - Guests arrive

    5:30 PM - Ceremony Begins

    6-7 PM - Cocktail hour

    7:20 PM - Dinner

    8:30 PM - Midnight - Dancing and cigars

    After Midnight - After Party
