The wedding gets all the planning. The morning after gets almost none — and then thirty people who love you are awake in the same city with nowhere to go before their flights.
A farewell brunch is the easiest thing on the whole weekend to host well, and it is the one people remember warmly, because by then everyone has relaxed. The trick is having a house to do it in. A restaurant brunch for that group means another reservation, another head count, another bill, and a room you have to leave by a certain hour.
At a home, it is coffee going by eight, someone’s aunt taking over the kitchen, a table people drift through for three hours, and gifts and leftovers getting sorted without an audience. Guests come and go as their travel demands. Nobody is rushed out.
If you have already put the bridal party or the family in one of our homes for the weekend, the brunch costs you nothing extra — you are simply using the house on the last morning. Rivers & Steel City Homes offers full homes with real kitchens and space for a group to gather, across the city and close to most venues.
