Wedding receptions are evolving, and cocktail-style celebrations are having a major moment. They’re chic, modern, and full of energy—a perfect way to create a social, laid-back atmosphere where guests can mix, mingle, and enjoy an unforgettable evening. But before you trade in the traditional sit-down dinner for passed hors d’oeuvres and lounge seating, there are a few things you need to consider. 

From guest comfort to food service logistics, a cocktail-style reception requires thoughtful planning to feel effortless and elevated. On today’s episode of Ask the Planner Podcast, I’m breaking down the pros, the cons, and the must-know strategies to help you decide if this reception style is the perfect fit for your wedding.
