Cocktail + Stations Wedding Reception Timeline

Jennifer, on October 13, 2019 at 10:10 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 2
Hi! My fiancé and I are getting married in October of 2020. We both feel the most fun part of a wedding is the dancing so we decided to forego the sit down dinner so no one is waiting at tables for food (that never ends up even being that great). We will just have cocktail hour cheese/cracker spread, heavily passed hors d’oeuvres and then 2-3 good stations (pasta, meat/potato, tacos). Our guests are probably 70% under 30 years old (our friends) and love to dance together. Our real goal is to make sure hey have great food available but keep them all interacting and on the dance floor vs. sitting down to eat.

Our wedding is at 3pm at our church the reception is a mile down the road (Uber is a 4min drive).

Can anyone help with what the timeline for for the day/night should be together this style wedding?

    Welcome to the community Jennifer! Congratulations on your engagement!

    I love the sound of your food stations, that will be a lot of fun for your guests and will make it easy for everyone to mingle.

    Have you booked any of your food vendors yet? It would be a good idea to discuss with them how long their preparation time is and how long after arriving they will be ready to serve food.

    Do you know how long your ceremony will last?
