Party Timeline
The party begins at 5:30pm. Please ensure you’re there no later than 5:45pm since Coleen and I will arrive at 6:00pm and I don’t want her to accidentally see anyone prior to our arrival. We’ll have the venue to ourselves until 8:00pm, at which point they’ll be bringing in live music and the venue will open to the public.
After it opens to the public we’re all welcome to stay, enjoy the drinks and music together and celebrate Coleen turning 40! After it opens to the public, the open bar will of course be closed, but you can of course enjoy their wide range of fun and delicious cocktails from the bar.
