The reception venue that we booked is for 3 hrs. We are thinking about adding another 1/2 hr - 1 hr, but my mom seems to think the 3 hrs would be fine. I dont know, our families love to party. The ceremony would start at 6pm (traditional Catholic ceremony) and last for a little over an hour. The reception would begin around 7:30 and end at about 10:30. Do you think adding another 1/2 hr - 1 hr would be too much??
