Long or Short Reception?

I think ours is a bit on the short side at about 3.5 hours plus an hour for cocktail hour (so 4.5 hours total). I've seen some brides on here mention much longer receptions, but I think that'll be plenty of time for our crowd!

I think it's average? It's 5 hours

Longer I think about 6 hours

Long. We had a cocktail hour, sit down dinner, and a great party!

Average? Around 4 hours I think.

5 hours including cocktail hour.

Long. Our reception is starting at 5 p.m. with introductions and our first dance, then dinner. Cocktail hour (more like an hour and a half) will start at around 3:30-3:45 p.m.

Long I guess? Cocktail hour starts about 4pm, DJ is done at 10pm, so about 6 hours

On the longer side, I think. We want to party! Our reception will be from 6pm-11pm.

4 hours + 1 hour "social hour" with hors d'ouevres. Not sure exactly where that puts me relative to others.

5 hours: 1 cocktail hour + 4 hours of reception. 6pm-11pm.

I think ours will be about 5.5 hours, so about average?

Our reception is planned to be on the average side. 8pm-11pm (3 hours) cocktail hour from 7pm-8pm (4 hours including cocktail hour). Ceremony will start at 6:30

Average? There will be an hour long cocktail hour with a 4.5 hour long reception.
