Morningside Inn: Memorable Wedding Send-Offs & Exit Tips
One of the most magical moments of your wedding day is the grand send-off at the end of the reception. This is your final celebration with your guests before heading off as newlyweds, and it’s a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime. At Morningside Inn, we require a send-off at the conclusion of your evening. Why? It’s the perfect way to guide your guests upstairs while celebrating your big exit. This festive tradition keeps everyone on the same page and ensures a smooth, joyful end to your special day.
Why Have a Send-Off?
A send-off is both practical and celebratory: it provides a safe, organized way to transition guests upstairs while also creating a fun experience. It’s a chance to cap off your wedding beautifully with your loved ones, while giving your photographer stunning moments. A send-off is visually magical and makes your exit feel uniquely yours. Gathering everyone together at this final moment also adds a sense of inclusivity, excitement, and joy that guests of all ages can enjoy.
