8:30pm too late for dinner?

We’re having a joint ceremony/reception wedding. The way most weddings are culturally for us is that meals are spread out with dancing in between.
Ceremony will finish at 6pm (starting at 5:30pm) with canapés and drinks to begin afterward. 7pm reception begins and I anticipate entrees at 7:15pm. To allow enough time for some dancing between I was thinking 8:30pm mains come out (our venue also needs min 50 minutes between courses).
Is 8:30pm too late for dinner? Bear in mind that we will be having extra food on the table in addition to entrees/mains (in my culture we make sure there’s LOTs of food and drink - no one will be saying there wasn’t enough).

You knew exactly what I meant. 🙄

I have no idea why you chose to single out my response out of all the comments on this thread and this forum, but as a Black woman of color, it is not my job to educate you, and this is not the time or place to discuss the topic of dominant culture vs non-dominant culture and its impact on America and linguistics. I will continue to spread positivity, and will not address you any further. I wish you a lifetime of reflection, consideration, and tact. Have a blessed day. ❤
