What is Cocktail Hour?

Happy Magazine Monday! Today, we’re giving you a look at our article all about cocktail hour, straight from the glossy pages of our 2026 Magazine. Check out some of our wedding cocktail name ideas below!

Cocktail or mocktail hour is the transition between your ceremony and your next event, usually your reception or dinner. Couples will use this time to take portraits while their guests enjoy drinks and light hors d’oeuvres, and the venue or coordination team will flip your space in the meantime. It’s a time for guests to relax and socialize as you wait for the next big moment of the day!

His and Hers Drinks

We love a good signature drink or two at a wedding, whether it’s your favorite cocktail or, of course, your usual order at a soda shop; we are in Utah after all. Name it after your pets, a cute wedding-ish cliché, or just lean into ‘His and Hers’ to make it extra fun!
