Wedding Reception Forum

Is 4.5 hours enough for the reception?

We get 7 hours at our venue, but the wedding is taking place 40 mins away from home.  So, I was planning on getting there at 12:30 with my ladies to get ready.  The ceremony is at 2 in a church down the road.  Guests should be getting to the reception after the ceremony by 2:45ish, then our time will be up at 7:30.

We are doing appetizers for the reception since it is between lunch & dinner, so I figured that people would be leaving around 7 to get dinner anyway...right?  We'll have outdoor tailgate games in the garden like corn hole.

So, does this sound like a good plan, or should I move the times around?
