Are buyers included in the closing dinner?

If the sell-side bank is organizing the closing dinner, are the buyers generally included? Under what situations does it make sense and vice versa?

What have banks been doing during covid re: closing dinners? Virtual champagne toast over zoom?...

Assuming covid gets under control, are banks setting up in-person closing dinners for deals that closed during covid, even if it was a year ago?
