How long is the "party portion" of your reception?

For some reason that gap post earlier made me go check my event order again. Everything is at one place so it’s back to back, but after dinner I realized it only leaves 1.5 hours for dessert and dancing. Doesn’t that seem really short? We have the option of adding on another hour ($&dollar and opening a tab ($&dollar, but I was going to just play that by ear. Now I’m wondering if it is more of a necessity. I feel like I lost any concept of time at most weddings I have been to, so I’m not really sure how long the “party” part lasts?

Here’s the event order:

So far our day looks like this:
6pm-Ceremony
7pm-Dinner (finish pics between 620ish and 7)
830-First dance (may push it back to 8/815)
1230-Reception finish
Cake will be sometime between I don't know when yet.
I haven't read all the comments, but are you doing an after party? I feel like at 930 I would just be starting to get into it and your reception would be over.
