No outside food or drinks come into the chapel except in the ways below. They're what make a ceremony feel like a celebration: cake, champagne for the toast, and — on the Premier experience — your own beer and wine or a grazing table.
Cake
What's allowed depends on your experience:
- Intimate — no outside cake.
- Signature — bring a cake for the two of you (a cutting cake for photos and a private bite — not served to guests).
- Premier — bring a cake to serve to all your guests. We'll have a cake table ready; just tell us your plan in the Pre-Wedding Questionnaire.
The champagne toast
If you've added the champagne toast to your experience, here's the one quirk to know: you bring the bottles. Texas law (TABC) means we can't purchase alcohol on your behalf — but hand us your bubbly and we'll store it, chill it, and serve it at the moment you choose in your questionnaire. You bring the label you love; we handle everything else.
Beer and wine (Premier: Sip & Celebrate)
Premier couples can add Sip & Celebrate from the couples dashboard. It's required for any beer, wine, or seltzer at your event:
- What you bring: beer, wine, and seltzers of the kind sold in a Texas grocery store (White Claw and Cayman Jack are fine). Beer and seltzers in cans only — no glass beer bottles. Wine can come in its bottle. No liquor, and nothing spirit-based (so no High Noon or canned cocktails).
- How it arrives: already chilled, in coolers, when your window opens, along with your champagne for the toast. Everything goes to our server — nothing stays in cars or suites.
- How it's served: our TABC-certified server pours every drink, after the ceremony, in clear disposable cups. Self-serve isn't allowed, the server may check IDs, and there are no drinking games.
- Last call is 30 minutes before your window ends. Leftover unopened drinks go home in your car.
Food beyond cake (Premier: Grazing Table Setup)
Premier couples can add Grazing Table Setup from the couples dashboard. It's required for any food other than cake or charcuterie from Grate Graze:
- Cold or room temperature only. Think Jason's Deli sandwich trays, wraps, and salads, or charcuterie boards. Nothing is heated or kept warm on site, and hot food can't be delivered.
- A restaurant or caterer can drop off your order; they can't stay to serve.
- You bring the food, plates, napkins, and serving pieces; we provide the tables, a fridge, ice, and cleanup.
- It's a standing, cocktail-style spread, not a sit-down meal, and food service ends 15 minutes before your window closes.
All other outside food and alcohol stays home.
Refreshments
We also offer a Refreshment Cart add-on (chilled non-alcoholic drinks for your guests) and, for Premier couples, the Charcuterie Cart from Grate Graze Boards. Both live on your couples dashboard.
