Hello!
We're planning a small wedding for 8/14/23. We have the venue, catering is almost figured out (just have to sign contract and choose which dishes), photographer is picked out (just need to sign contract), and pretty much all else is done. Can anyone take a look at my timeline and tell me if we need more than an 8 hour rental for the venue?
Guests: 50 or lessHair/makeup only for bride at a salon down the street from the venue (before venue rental)
2:00: arrive at venue/set up centerpieces and drink station/give bartender beer and wine
2:30: photographer arrives
3:00: getting ready photos/bartender starts serving drinks to bridal party/early guests
3:30: first look, bridal party photos, some family photos
4:30: ceremony
5:00: welcome guests, finish family photos
5:45: food should be set up, start eating by 6:00
7:00: cake cutting/dancing/music/mingling
9:00: reception ends
10:00: end of rental
Somewhere in there, I'll have family help put away the food, help with throwing out trash (empty cups, plates, etc.) I have aunts, uncles a d cousins who have all offered to help,so by the time 9:00 rolls around, most trash should be picked up. We would just need to put up the centerpieces, grab our things from the rooms, and get any unopened beer and wine from the bartender. We have the bartender for 6 hours. Any extra hours we request would cost $125/hour and we're trying to keep everything under $10,000. Most of our guests don't dance and everyone is very laid back.
I appreciate any input!
