Memorial Table at Ceremony

I would really like to have a memorial table to honor our grandparents that are no longer with us. Every wedding I've been to the memorial table has been at the reception, but I'm a bit stumped on where to set it up at our reception. We have to provide all the tables for everything and I'm really not sure where memorial table would fit in. But I'd really like to have one (I'm honestly not sure how much FH cares about memorial table). Would it be weird/disrespectful to have the memorial table just set up at the ceremony at the church? Honestly I feel like that's more where I'll be thinking of them/their presence will be missed than the reception anyway. I'm just curious, since I've never seen it done that way before, how other people would feel about that.

I've weddings have memorial tables at both the ceremony and reception- usually just a candle. We plan on having our officiant making a brief prayer during our ceremony.

Personally, I think it'll be fine to do it that way. We had one at our reception, but my husband didn't provide his family pictures like I asked him too, and I wasn't going to stress myself trying to hunt them down...so our memorial table only had my deceased grandparents on it, lol.

I think it'd be fine if it's just at the ceremony.

I've only noticed these tables at the ceremony. Not saying they didn't make it to the reception, just saying I've not noticed it.

I’ve typically noticed them at receptions, usually near where the place cards or set up or sometimes near the gift table. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a table at a ceremony, but I’m sure it is a thing. At ceremonies, I’ve typically seen a seat left open with a candle/flower and picture or something along those lines. There’s plenty of ways to go about it though!

We will set up a small round table near the card table. I have pictures in frames (5 family members) and a framed memorial saying. We will have one floating candle burning.
