    About 7 hours. That's the amount of time we can have the hall for, though I may go a bit less in order for clean up since we're responsible for it

    We’re at 5.5 hours now but thinking of extending to 6 or 7.

    6 hours, but might linger a little longer. Last dance is at 10, but everyone must be out by 11.

    Our wedding will be 5 hours long from start to finish. Our ceremony starts at 10am, the reception starts at noon and we need to be gone by 3:30pm so I set the end time as 3pm

    6 hours, from ceremony start time to when the musician has to stop playing. (4p-10p). I imagine we'll hang out at the hotel bar for a little afterwards though.

    Guest arrival: 4:30
    ceremony: 5:00
    cocktail hour: 5:30-6:30
    reception: 6:30- 10:30

    but we're also starting first looks and family portraits before the ceremony around 2... so I guess you could say 8.5 hours.

    5 hours total! Ceremony starts at noon and reception will be done by 5. (I was worried it may not be long enough but then realized it's that, plus the rehearsal dinner the night before, plus spending time with out of town friends and relatives that whole weekend leading up to it... we'll see plenty of everyone I hope lol)
