As the event unfolded, guests were treated to an array of scrumptious custom cocktails, curated to match the couple's personalities and preferences. From fruity concoctions inspired by their Mexican wedding destination to a signature drink aptly named "Kimmylicious," every sip added a touch of sophistication and excitement to the celebration.

Kim and Tony have always shared a love for the performing arts, so it was only natural that they wanted to incorporate that passion into their wedding celebration.
