Cocktail Receptions & Rehearsal Dinners
at Joey's Italian Cafe

What Is A Cocktail-Style Reception?

A popular trend in wedding and reception planning is the cocktail-style reception. Hosting this type of event at Joey's allows your guests to experience a diverse selection of exquisite hors d'oeuvres in a more casual and elegant setting.

The rehearsal dinner is an important and memorable element of every wedding party. As the happy couple prepares to become one, so do their families and friends. This is one of the many reasons people choose to spend this celebratory meal together at Joey's Italian Cafe, one of the best restaurants and bar in Wynwood.

A wedding is an opportunity to celebrate with joy the formal declaration of a union. When planning such a momentous occasion, you hope to find a venue that reflects and embodies who you are as a couple. At Joey’s Italian Café, we present the ideal location for cocktail wedding receptions for those who personify class, taste, and warmth and wish their celebration to echo such coveted traits.

The Perks

The atmosphere cultivated by this form of reception is typically more casual and relaxed, and the warm decor of our establishment creates a welcoming setting for you and your guests. With smaller food items, party goers can mingle and move around our space more freely. Our intimate outdoor dining area is ideal for a rehearsal dinner or reception where members of the wedding party can share laughter and stories.

Create Warm Elegance in Your Cocktail Reception

People often remark that the cocktail hour is their favorite part of a traditional wedding reception due to the exuberant yet relaxed vibe. Its inherent nature encourages mingling and conversation while allowing the bride and groom to circulate and spend some time with everyone. As a result, a new tradition was born in cocktail wedding receptions which have been warmly embraced by many engaged couples.

Not surprisingly, this trend has proved popular among the betrothed and guests alike. Instead of super-formal, multi-course affairs where guests are tethered to their seats and the bridal couple is relegated to a head table, cocktail receptions give the opportunity for everyone present to socialize as they please. This brings an air of elation to such a special day.
