    Think we'll be spot on or maybe a few minutes over (hopefully, because we've allotted 45 minutes between the start of the ceremony and the start of the cocktail hour...).

    I’d be ok with longer but my officiant is strict about 30 minutes. I’ve beentrying to time it though and it’s about 20 min so there’s some wiggle room

    I'm hoping to stick to 30mins or less. My uncle is the officiant & he really knows how to talk, so we will see 😂

    We are planning on a short and simple ceremony so I would say we fit in with this.

    I'm not playing .Our ceremony will be 30 minutes long. I believe you should spend more time on the reception than the ceremony

    We have 30 min slotted for a ceremony at our venue so hopefully we don't go over that time. We haven't even looked for an officiant yet, so not sure how long it'll be.

    Hopefully under! Our pastor told us to plan 15-20 minutes.

    The last wedding ceremony I went to was 4 minutes long, start to finish.
