Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone could share with me what their afternoon reception looked like/your timeline? I've never been to an afternoon reception before but we are having one and it has been hard for me to picture.
Our ceremony is at 1 and will last about 30-45 minutes. The reception venue is about 10 minutes away, so we want to start the reception around 2 or 2:15 since we don't want a gap.
Our reception is 4 hours long, but we have the option to add time on for a pretty reasonable price as well as extend the bar package for like $2 pp per hour.
We're undecided on if we want to do a cocktail hour or just go straight into the reception. We're also not sure if we should serve a full meal or just do heavy hor d'oeuvres since it is the same price either way.
We've hired a DJ but aren't sure if people will dance, we've booked a photo booth, and we're having an open bar.
