Looking for thoughts, suggestions, personal experiences, Pro/Cons, things to consider etc. See background info below:
So I imagine this is an age old debate but we're still in the early planning stages for our Oct '19 wedding and can't decide between a cocktail or a sit-down style reception. Our ceremony is being held in a friends home (a 100 year old restored stone church), with a very cozy, eclectic bohemian vibe (think vintage couch seating for guests, and large european area rugs). We're considering doing a casual, cocktail style reception in the same place and serving up some warm apps and comfort foods.
We're also considering a sit-down style reception but want to keep the intimate, cozy and personal feel throughout and aren't sure how we feel about booking a community hall or banquet centre that would look more polished.
