  • My ceremony starts at 4; cocktail hour at 4:30; reception at 5:15.
  • Ceremony at 5:30, cocktail hour from 6-7, and reception from 7-10:30. I know the 10:30 end time is a bit unorthodox, but I didn't want to pay an extra three hundred bucks for an additional half hour.

    Our ceremony is tentatively scheduled for 3:30. The church is directly across the street from our reception venue so cocktail hour will likely go from about 4:15-5:30, with dinner after that.

  • Our ceremony is at 2pm and our cocktail hour starts at 7pm followed by dinner and dancing from 8pm to 1am. There is about an hour drive from the church to the reception site and I wanted to give everyone enough time to get to the hotel before jumping on the shuttle to the reception. I also wanted to give my bridal party and I an ample amount of time to take pictures in between because my fiance and I want to be at the cocktail hour.
  • Ceremony starts at 6:30pm
    Cocktail hour at 7:30pm
    Dinner at 8:30pm

  • Ceremony at 12:30; Cocktail Hour at 2:00; Reception at 3:00. The reception will actually feature a lunch buffet since it is early. This is a good way to save money!!
