Their wedding, respect their choices. No, I don’t want kids at my wedding reception either, they can come to the Church, but not the reception. I have been to enough weddings to realize not all kids can handle it and not all kids should be exposed to the drunken revelry that can occur . Really, hire a babysitter instead of making a scene, it is actually rude to impose on the wishes of the bride and groom..
Zero kids and most adults should be exposed to those disgusting displays. Our reception was short and sweet with no alcohol.
