How long will your wedding be from start to finish?

Ceremony: 2:30 - 3:30 (but I doubt it takes that long)
Gap: 3:30 - 6 (not an option with our venue - kinda nervous about it because posters on here always say gaps are super rude - but there are tons of bars and restaurants walking distance from everything)
Reception: 6-10

Not sure about an after party. I don’t want one but my fiancé does, so we’ll see.

Ceremony start time of 3:30 pm Reception end time of 9:30 pm. So 6 hours total. Hmmmm I wonder if that’s enough time???

5.5 hours. Ceremony starts at 4pm, reception immediately after starting at 4:30pm to 9:30pm.

Ceremony is set to start at 2 and the reception will end at 6 so 4 hours. It's going to be on a Sunday and most have to work the next day and are traveling over an hour to be there so we're keeping it short and sweet.

Ours will be 3:30pm-10pm on a Sunday

We will be starting to get ready at 9am (there will be 8 of us doing hair and make up). We will head to the venue hopefully by 2pm. Ceremony starts at 4 until 4:30 and then th reception will be 4:30-9:30. Gonna be a long day, but it will be an amazing day

Ceremony and reception are at the same venue, so 5 hours. 11 am ceremony, followed by cocktail hour, and a lunch reception, ending at 4 pm. The afterparty is already booked at the hotel. We (FH & I) paid for the private bar @ the hotel, but the afterparty will be a cash bar.

From the invitation time to the end, probably around 7 hours. We really wanted to have a long reception to be able to fully enjoy the time, effort and money we put into the day, plus we know our friends wil love the party!

When does your reception start? Have you thought about having an after party?

3:30- probably 7:45 for sendoff but it officially ends at 8:00

10:30-11: Ceremony

11-4: Reception

So 5.5 Hours

Ours was 8 hours

View Quoted Comment 3:30-4 ceremony
4-5 cocktail hour
5-9:30 reception

5:30-6 ceremony
6-7 cocktail
7-1 reception. Although we are planning on ending it at midnight instead.

Ceremony starts at 5, cocktail hour at 6, dinner served at 7 and dancing until midnight! So 7 hours!

That seems like a good amount of time for everything! If you go the after party route then that can add a little more time for guests to mingle and party if they choose to!

Around 7 hours

That sounds like a great timeline, FutureMrsK! What will you be serving for your reception dinner?

5 hrs from walk down to send off.
