Later on after the cocktail hour the reception began in the grand ballroom. Guests were seated at round and square tables that were covered with ivory satin linens and the tables had different jewelled toned napkins, wine glasses, and centerpieces. Each table had matching colored chair covers around them. Instead of table numbers the bride and groom opted to have each table named after a different gems. Once the guests had found their seats it was time for the bride and groom to make their grand entrance and as they entered the ballroom in front of cheering family and friends they walked to the dance floor where they danced their first dance to Sinatra's "Fly with Me". The happy couple then took their seats along with the rest of the bridal party at the head table.
During the reception part of the small ballroom was used as the kids area where the children could play while babysitters were able to provide activities for them. The other part of the small ballroom was used for the dinner and later on the dessert buffet. For dinner guests were able to enjoy a grilled vegetable salad, filet mignon, orecchiette pasta, green beans with caramelized onions, and a smashed and mashed potato martini bar. Later in the evening when it was time for dessert the guests were treated to wedding cake and an ice cream sundae bar. Each layer of the wedding cake had a different lavish flavor: one layer was French vanilla cake filled with Dulce de Leche, another was almond cake filled with mandarin orange mouse, another was a lemon zest cake with orange mouse filling, and another was orange cake with a maraschino cherry cream cheese frosting. After dessert it was time for the everyone to get back to the party and back to celebrating the wedding of a wonderful couple.
