How does this sound to all of you? We don't have an exact length for the ceremony, but it should be between 30-45 minutes. No receiving line but I'm sure there will be some greetings/hugs down the aisle to eat up any spare minutes. Ceremony and reception are at the same place (ceremony on golf course lawn; cocktail hour on patio/2 inside rooms; dinner in ballroom). We'll be doing hair and makeup at the hotel, and just getting dressed/final details at the venue. We have our photographer booked for 8 hours (2-10) and the entertainment for cocktail hour plus 4 hours of "dance party" from 7-11. We have use of the venue until midnight.
