Our ceremony and reception will take place in the same large space. Tables and decor will already be set up but we would need to have the chairs from the ceremony moved out of the way. I do not want my guests to be in the room while this transition is happening but also do not have a large budget for a cocktail hour (this would take place at an outdoor pavilion on site). we were also thinking to do photos at this time since we will do a first look.
Any suggestions on how to have an affordable cocktail hour without hiring a caterer to do it?
