Signature Cocktail Menu

Summer is the perfect season for a custom cocktail menu. Signature drinks are often playful, refreshing, and full of fruity flavors. We love working with couples to craft unique beverages for their big day, and summer offers endless opportunities to experiment with tropical and seasonal ingredients.

Planning a daytime celebration? Our brunch menu is a guest favorite, featuring options like mimosas and brunch punch that are sure to impress.

 

 

Delectable Appetizers

Nothing says summer quite like a refreshing Caprese salad or a beautifully arranged fruit display. These light and flavorful appetizers pair perfectly with a summer-inspired menu.

In addition to these seasonal favorites, we offer more than 30 appetizer selections to keep your guests satisfied during cocktail hour.

 

Beat the Summer Heat

Dreaming of a summer wedding but concerned about the Georgia heat? Vecoma has you covered. Many couples choose daytime events, with ceremonies beginning around 11:00 AM and receptions wrapping up by 3:00 PM, creating a more comfortable experience for everyone.  We also have a slushy machine that we bring out in the summer to make frozen lemonade to keep all of your guests cool.

Summer weddings give brides the freedom to wear a wide variety of dress styles without worrying about colder temperatures.  Many brides also choose to change into a shorter, less restrictive reception dress after the ceremony to help them stay cool and comfortable.

Personalized fans to keep guests cool during the ceremony also work as great wedding favors. Many couples that have summer weddings get customized program style fans which are a great keepsake!!

Let’s See the Color

Summer weddings are all about bold, vibrant colors — from signature cocktails and bridesmaid dresses to florals and menu selections. We love seeing couples embrace unique palettes and creative seasonal details that make their wedding feel personal and unforgettable.  Some of our favorite summer color combos are sage green and ivory, dusty blue and peach, and tropical colors like oranges and yellows.

Your Guests Will Appreciate the Timing

Summer weddings are often especially convenient for guests with children, since many schools are on break during the summer months. Teachers and families typically have more flexibility to travel and celebrate together.

For out-of-town guests, your wedding can also become part of a memorable summer getaway experience just outside of the bustling city of Atlanta.  You can easily turn a wedding trip into a long weekend or vacation for out-of-town guests by having them visit Stone Mountain, the Georgia Aquarium, and other spots around Metro Atlanta.

Keep Your Coin

Many wedding venues offer seasonal pricing incentives during slower booking periods, and in Georgia, summer can sometimes be considered an off-peak season.

Before signing your venue agreement, ask your venue specialist about possible summer wedding discounts or promotional pricing opportunities.
