8:00pm Afterparty @ Wild Hare

Not done celebrating? Neither are we!

Meet us for drinks and dancing at The Wild Hare. The club’s default music is reggae and dancehall, and for Valentine’s Day they’re hosting Scarlet Sound System, “a genre-blending  journey through R&B, Hip-Hop, House, global sounds, and everything in between, all curated for the dance floor.”

We'll show up promptly at 8:00 in our wedding best. Please wear something you'll be comfortable dancing in. Your first round is on us—just don’t be late! (…otherwise, you might have to sweet talk your way out of paying a cover charge.)
