    Do you want to do a cocktail hour?  I don't if you would do one since it's at the same location as the wedding.  I am having my reception at the same place as you.  I am having cocktail hour at 6 then dinner at 6:45.  Am haing a buffet so it's going to take longer then yours.  I want to have the dance start at 9/9:30.  Do you know how long the ceremony will take?

    I have ours in my married bio. Our wedding started an hour after yours, and we also had the ceremony & reception in the same place. I think we had our photog for 7 hours. Hope it helps!

    yes we want a cocktail hour.  I'm pretty sure the ceremony will be short, but they never start on time usually anyway.. so I'm thinking dinner at 6 or 6:30

    Although I am getting married in Rochester I am doing the same as you. Ceremony at 4:30 (hopefully no longer than 20 minutes), we are dismissing our guests and then we will have a cocktail hour starting directly after ceremony in a different area, then into have a sit down dinner that will start at 6:30 (different room again), dance 8-12.
    Hope that helps...

    We were planning on having our ceremony at 4:30 as well, but when we met with our coordinator she recommended not doing it anytime before 5pm. So now we are having the ceremony at 5:00-5:30, social hour until 6:30, dinner at 6:45, and dance around 8pm.

    Our timelines don't match up, but you can use the files on my wedding bio as a starting point.
