When's the best time to do the champagne tower?

We have found that either before all the speeches etc or after all the formalities have worked best.

Before - So that everyone has a glass to toast the new bride and groom

After - Once all the speeches, cake, first dance has been completed, doing a champage tower now is a good way to get the party started.

The Champagne Tower is bound to be a focal point for your celebration so it’s crucial to decide when you want this to take centrestage! Many couples opt to jump right into the fun, hustling from their ceremony straight into cocktail hour where they’re popping bottles and pouring like a boss. Others however, save this moment for their grand entrance into the reception! Picture this - cascading into your reception,, your loved ones hooting and hollering as you do, and landing where the Champagne Tower awaits you. With the spotlight on you two, you take that bottle of Moet and get pouring! That’s not quite your flavour? How about making the cake cutting more of a magical moment with the addition of a powerful pour alongside it? The options are endless!

At our venue it's most of the time done just before speeches, so everyone is watching and then get's a Champagne for all the happy toasting. We also ahve done them right after the ceremony as you also have a Chamapagne to toast to the newly weds. Either way is beautiful and generates happy guests and great photos!

Some like to have the champagne tower to welcome guests on arrival, but after the ceremony is also popular, with guests celebrating with a toast to the married couple.  If you are using the tower for decorative purposes you can have it filled with champagne before the celebration and then just have fresh champagne in trays for the guests.

Most of our couples we have at our venue do the champagne tower after their ceremony (then all the guests take a glass from the tower and cheers to new beginnings and marriage) The tower is normally set up somewhere close to the cermemony location.
