Be it for rehearsal dinner or reception, al fresco dining always makes for an enchanting evening. Pair it with an unbeatable cityscape view, and the ambience is heavenly. Following the official welcome of summer, fireflies scattered across a night sky, cool night breezes and front porch sitting have finally become a nightly standard again. So why not take advantage of the temperate weather a Southern summer offers and plan for a wedding festivity with a view?
