More and more couples today are opting for a welcome party in lieu of—or in addition to—a traditional rehearsal dinner. Within Park Tavern we have several venues that are ideal for your rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or BOTH!, no matter the style or size of your group.
One of our couples transformed our private Meadow area into a personal putting green to pay homage to the couple’s first date. Guests sipped on golf-themed signature cocktails while mingling and competing. The couple even had a prize for “closest to the pin”!
Another great way to kick off the festivities is to celebrate your wedding location and welcome guests to the city. There’s nothing more Atlanta than sipping on a peach lemonade while watching the sunset behind the midtown skyline. We love a ‘strolling reception’ with southern-inspired tasting stations so guests are free to mingle and eat at their leisure.
Still want to have the traditional toasts the night before? A lot of couples opt for an intimate dinner with just the wedding party and immediate family prior to a larger welcome party later in the evening. A late evening welcome party also provides guests traveling that day additional time to arrive & get settled before hitting the town. Have you ever thought about a Welcome Party with popular “late night” foods such as pizza or sliders & fries?!
