I have read some of the previous posts regarding the gap between the ceremony and the reception, but I was curious to know what you ladies think is an acceptable amount of time between the two. Specifically, I am trying to find out the amount of time (not including travel time) that would not be annoying to guests.
We have a ceremony start time of 2:00pm and we are told it should last around 45minutes. Travel time to our reception is about 15 minutes if you know where you are going. Did you notice guests after the ceremony leaving immediately for the reception or mingling for a little bit prior to heading to the reception?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! I am probably getting too analytical on this, but I am trying to start the cocktail hour/reception as late as possible without offending folks.
