    7 hours total. Ceremony will be 30 minutes, then we'll have an hour and half of pictures, cocktail hour and dinner will take 5 hours. My FH thinks we should add more time on and that a reception ending at 10 is too early. I don't think he realizes how long the day will be...

    We haven’t set anything in stone. I want it to start at 3. The venue is so pretty I want it to be enjoyed during the day. My planner has mentioned 4pm often and a sunset wedding. Is it wrong that I want it to start at 3?

    We have the venue from 8 am to midnight. I think it would be nice to quiet down at 10 and fizzle out so all the cleaning can be done. I’ve also heard that 3-10 is a long time. Do people get bored and antsy? Thoughts?

    We are doing both. We have our first look and we're going to do a few of our photos then and we'll do the rest with the wedding party during cocktail hour.
