Social butterfly! The bride-to-be made her way from guests throughout the night

Clutching a near-empty wine glass, the bride-to-be was the ultimate social butterfly as she posed one after the other with her guests.

Seven tables with 10 chairs each were set up in the boutique hotel's courtyard, around a fountain topped with a cherub holding a carafe.

The courtyard was covered with a white tent-like structure where the ceiling was covered with hundreds of light, making it look like a starry sky.

The menu was relatively simple considering that the hotel's restaurant is owned by famed New York chef Daniel Boulud: the first course was shredded kale salad apple, walnut, pickeed blueberries, blue cheese, dill, buttermilk dressing; the main course was a choice of wood roasted chicken with swiss chard crepinette, espelette jus or 14 oz grass fed beef striploin blue cheese potato gratin watercress salad; chocolate for dessert.

The guests were quietly shuttled in black mini-buses from The Breakers with the dinner ending approximately at 9pm.

In another decadent snap, the Modern Family star showed off the two course menu, which read 'One night before the big day! Sofia and Joe.'

Joe and Sofia, who became engaged in December, will marry in front of 400 guests under a gold-painted ceiling in the Mediterranean Ballroom of The Breakers Resort, Palm Beach on Sunday.

According to Gossip Extra, after that, the couple will party the hours away until 5am on Monday in four adjacent ballrooms (Ponce de Leon ballrooms 1 through 4).

The wedding party will then be entertained by Latin crooners Marc Anthony, Thalia and Gloria Estefan.

'Sofia’s flying a decorator from the Ritz Carlton in Paris and she’s bringing a bunch of hairdressers from California,' a source told the website.

A source told E! News: 'The entire hotel is rented out for the weekend. People are flying in from all over the world to be there with them.'

'They're making it a long weekend celebration with the wedding happening at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening,' the source continued. 'They're expecting [the reception] to go all night long with tons of dancing and live performances.'

'People can rest and recuperate on Monday and stay for the Thanksgiving holiday if they choose. Sofia has a lot of family in Florida and will stay to spend time with them.'
