    The actual Ceremony will be 1 hour - 1 hour 1/2. My fiancé has always dreamed of having a traditional Catholic Wedding. I love that he’s had a vision of his wedding day period, so I complied. Lol 🙏🏼🥰💕

    OMG I'm looking at a long day. we are finish the set up starting at 9am. Bridal party to arrive by 10 am, Hair and make up 10:15 am til 11:00 am and bridal photos but we're also starting first looks and family portraits before the ceremony around start at 11:15 am

    Guest arrival: 12:30
    ceremony: 1:00-1:45
    cocktail hour: 2:00-3:00
    reception: 4:00- 6:00
    after party 6:00-8:00

    so I guess you could say 8.5-9 hours.

    I think the venue only let's us stay for 5 hours? I think including the ceremony I wouldn't want more than 4 anyway.
