12:30 ceremony timeline

cnietering

Hello! 

I'm wanting help figuring out a 12:30 ceremony timeline. 

We have the venue from 11-4, I'm hoping to get my hair done from 9-10, but am wondering if that's going to make things too rushed? 

Any help would be appreciated. I haven't found much online about early afternoon weddings. 

Thanks so much!!

If you're having pics done after the ceremony, that's not leaving a lot of time for a reception.  Our ceremony was scheduled for 12:30 (I ran a wee bit late) and our reception went until 6pm and I still wish I had had more time.

We talked to 3 photographers. One wanted 1.5 hours for post-ceremony pics. One wanted half an hour. We're planning on an hour, and no bride+groom photos before the wedding.

Even without post-ceremony photos, 3 hours for a reception, possibly including clean-up, is short, especially since a 12:30 ceremony calls for a full meal (lunch) reception.

I have this same issue. Ceremony at 12:30pm, 1pm Cocktail hour, and we have the place until 6pm
