What time did everyone end their reception?
I'm trying to work this out because we start the ceremony at 4, meaning cocktail hour will start inside the hall at 4:30 (both are taking place at the same venue). All of our vendors are currently on 6 hour contracts, so it 10:30 too early to end a reception? We'll have 1 1/2 hour per course for dinner, which is 4 1/2 hours starting from 4:30, so I guess food will be out of there at 9. We'll have a bar and dancing, but I'm also thinking about the fact that we have a lot of OOT guests who will get on the road in the morning, and I would say that even though we're 24, about 20% of our wedding guests will be around our age (aka partying.)
What do you think? What was your schedule like?
