Ceremony time

mjradney · January 2012

I was wondering how much time are you estimating the cermony will take. It is so funny, I have been to so many weddings but never really thought about this. lol

my venue gave a 1/2 hour for our ceremony but I doubt we will need that.. probably 15 minutes at the most. Short, Sweet and to the point!

I would say unless you are doing something extra, 20 minutes is more than enough. I am thinking ours will be 15 minutes max

SheilaDancer43 · January 2012

I'm thinking anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Probably close to 20ish.

jaime10285 · January 2012

We have 30 minutes alloted but probably will be 15-20 or so.

daria24 · January 2012

We have a 30 minute block but we will be done in under 15.

MMRoberts11 · January 2012

With my venue coordinator we planned 30 minutes for the ceremony and for everyone to get inside for the reception.

About 20 minutes

I've been debating about this as well. We will be having 2 pastors officiating our ceremony (both mine and fiance's) so I'm anticipating that it may take longer as I would like them both to give a (short) sermon. However, I don't want people to lose interest either so I'm hoping to be able to keep it within 30 minutes at max.

I'm really hoping it's not more than 30 minutes.

calisel · January 2012

We are having a traditional Catholic wedding performed by two Monsignors. I am hoping to keep it around 1-1 1/2 hours.

We are having a Catholic wedding without the mass. I have already picked the outline with the priest & kept my readings small. I think 30-45 mins is about what it will run.

doeie04 · January 2012

Under 30 minutes total. (Everyone walking in, ceremony and the WP exiting.)

kelsey+brandon · January 2012

I think ours will be 30-45 minutes. I'm not sure exactly how long though. I'm sure our minister will give us a better time frame when we meet with him.

<div>This for us as well. If I'm there longer than 30 minutes, something went wrong.</div>

kristin183 · January 2012

Short and Simple 10-15 minutes.

BluIvory82 · January 2012

Ours is 30 minutes as well.

Same! Ours at most will be an hour, but I'm thinking more around 40 minutes.

Carebear62584 · January 2012

If you are having it in a church I would say it would be about an hour give or take. My venue allows for 30 minutes. Since we are using the same JP that my cousin used we have to talk to him about shortening our ceremony. My cousin's was about 25 minutes, but we want ours shorter....especially if it starts late. Plus, my DJ isn't charging us for cocktail hour so I don't want it to go into cocktail hour where he may charge us.

Purple&7 · January 2012

Only about 10-15 minutes. We want to keep it short and sweet!
