I had my rehearsal cocktail party the day before my wedding at Oak + Elixir on August 30th. I didn't want to do a full rehearsal dinner since I really don't know what the point of one having one is but I wanted to get our two families and bridal party together before the wedding day since this was sort of a destination wedding. I spoke with oh the phone with  Carrie and she was so sweet and was able to put into action exactly what I wanted. I told her the amount of people and the hours I wanted to host the cocktail party. She came back with a wine list and food options and before I knew it we had my rehearsal cocktail party planned! We were in the back area with the piano and the candle lantern wall. They closed the sliding barn doors so we could have a private area since the rest of the place was open to the public. I was always in the loop when we were running out of a certain wine and was able to add more bottles if I wanted to. I didn't eat the food but I was told by my guests that everything was so amazing. The prices are also very reasonable which was a very nice surprise. This place was so cute and perfect to kick off my wedding weekend.
