Offer customary welcome drinks

As guests arrived at the wedding, they received a warm welcome with two special drink options. Sera's Italian heritage was represented by a refreshing limoncello, while Noel's Hungarian roots introduced guests to pálinka, a traditional fruit brandy enjoyed as an aperitif, digestif, shooter, and even herbal medicine.

Why not join in with the band

The guitar-violin duet played emotional renditions of contemporary songs throughout the evening, including Coldplay's "Yellow" during the seated portion that took place in front of a waterfall.
