Time between Ceremony and Reception

How much time is a good time window between the ceremony and reception,  If you want guests to go direcetly to reception after the ceremony??  If my reception(cocktail hour) starts at 6:00pm, then should I have the ceremony at 4pm?  Reception is 30 min away.

Re: Time between Ceremony and Reception

  • How long is your ceremony? Ours started at 3 and was about 45 min. By the time we did the send-off and guests mingled and what not, they left around 4:15 to drive to our reception venue, about 20 min. away. We had appetizers come out at 5 but drinks were available whenever they got there.

    If your ceremony will be a half hour or less, I would probably not do it any earlier than 4:30 or they will be standing around for awhile before cocktail hour.
