Following the cocktail hour, guests are invited to return to the Old Courtroom at the DeKalb Historic Courthouse for the reception, which will continue through the afternoon. The reception will be centered around an English-style high tea.

High tea is a traditional afternoon meal that features a seated tea service with a variety of small, refined dishes served over time, rather than a single plated entrée, and is intended to be enjoyed leisurely. Guests can expect a selection of finger sandwiches, savory pastries, scones with accompaniments, and assorted sweets, presented on tiered trays and shared at the table.
