If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind sharing your day of timeline? I really for the life of me don't know what mine will be. I have my photog for 8 hours, 2 of which will be a photo booth, and I have a ceremony at 3, and cocktail hour at 5, as of now.

Any help on what I should do would be super appreciated!

    Here is mine but I would definitely recommend giving yourself PLENTY of extra time.  This was originally scheduled to have the day start an hour later, but we would hav been screwed because even giving us the extra hour, we still got started on pictures 45 mins late becuase us girls weren't ready yet (the first BM & the stylist to arrive were 25 mins behind, plus that BM's hair took longer than an hour) so even though we thought we were giving ourselves an hour extra we lost 45 mins of formal shots before the ceremony.

    Yeah I think we are on similar timelines!!  Yours is only a short time ahead of mine. I obviously hijacked your registry one last week:)

    It is really helpful to see how much time other people are budgeting for things. I also just emailed my photog to see how she recommends scheduling her time.

    Matt Lien, the photographer will be arriving around 10 for pictures of us getting ready.  He would like us to be ready for pictures by 12:30.  We want to do the “first look” first and a nearby park, with just Matt and I and maybe my MOHs for help. We then want the whole wedding party at the park for outdoor pictures.  The plan is for everyone to be back at the church (all family members and WP) by 2:00 for touch-ups and family photos

    Possible park locations: Basset Creek Park and/or Shoreline Drive 

    Pictures need to be done by 3:15.

    6:30: Grand entrance 

    6:40: Cake cutting 

    6:45: Dinner served

    Kaylas16,
    you might want to account for more time for dinner. We went to a wedding last year at stonebrooke and the dinner for 200 took really long it started at 6:15 ish and took until after 9:00 to get the dance started. The DJ had the bride and groom ready as soon as the tables were cleared off the floor even.

    Great...

    A 3 hour dinner will make me pissssssssed. When I talked to our coordinator there she estimated a time of about 1.5 for dinner.  Seems like a massive difference from what you experienced. Blah.

    Oh well at least if dinner goes long it's just the dance that gets held up not the ceremony or something!
