Hi ladies, How long was your reception? What time did it start? Was the bar open the whole time or did you close the bar for dinner or before the end of the reception? When did everything occur? (toasts, dances, cake cutting, etc.) Did you leave early or stay until the end? TIA

    We stayed until the end, in fact we were the last ones in the ballroom!

    7:00 Cocktails Around 8:00 was our entrance-the bar closed and we cut our cake when we came in, then we had the toasts and dinner started 8:30 The bar opened When dinner was over, I danced with my dad, Patrick with his mom, and then we did our dance We stayed until no one was left. A lot of people stayed until 1:00 when it was over and there was a huge party in the hotel bar...we retired to our room though, which you will be happy you did the next day. Everyone that went to the bar paid dearly the next day ;)
