Late Evening Wedding Time Frame

angelajerry813

I am having a 6:00 PM ceremony.  I am also having a live band and to play while guest eat.  Following the that I want it to be a night full of dancing. with a DJ  Anybody having a late evening wedding and have the  agenda planned out as to what time they will do certain things.  I would like for it to end at midnight but seems like I will have to choose between the band and DJ.

me too... my whole party is 6 to 12. I imagine that everyone will leave around 11:00 though. I decided to have it on a Friday night  so things are easier for everyone. (church people dont like to stay out late on Sat night)
