What is a wedding reception?

A wedding reception is a celebratory gathering that occurs after the wedding ceremony. It is typically hosted by the newlyweds and their families, and it may take place in a variety of venues, including banquet halls, hotels, restaurants, or private homes. Wedding receptions often feature a multi-course dinner, beverages, music, and dancing, as well as various other activities and traditions, such as toasts, speeches, cake-cutting, and bouquet-tossing. The reception is a time for the bride and groom to celebrate with their loved ones and thank them for their support, as well as to enjoy the company of their guests and make memories that will last a lifetime.
