| Reception |
Our larger homes can host your reception or you might chose to have the reception at a neighboring restaurant or hotel. Since these are homes, there are some neighborhood noise restrictions that we must adhere to to respect the neighbors. If you are planning a full reception with live music that lasts well into the night, we suggest hosting the reception at a restaurant, bar, or hotel. We can provide some options for you.
If you are going to have a smaller, less rowdy reception, we will be happy to have a reception dinner at our homes. Our house concierge can arrange for chef services for you.
