Hi All,

Keen to get thoughts on whether the below run sheet works! Have additional details on the back end re: vendor timing, but curious if there's anything that doesn't work below?
Our venue also said they need at least 1 hour between meals.
3pm Guests arrive3:20pm-3:50pm Ceremony commences and ends4pm - 5:30pm Cocktail hour and a half5:40pm Reception begins + bridal party and couple entry + welcome speech5:55pm Entrees served6:30pm Second and third speeches6:55pm Dinner served7:15pm Mother & Son dance, then cake cutting7:30 - 8:20 Couple sneak away for sunset photos7:55 Coffee and cake served 8:30pm First dance and dance floor opens up10:15pm Last call for drinks10:50pm-11pm Farewell and end of night
Thank you for any pointers! No-one else seems to understand the pain of run sheets lol.

3:20 is a really odd time for a wedding to start.
You have entrees served at 6:30 and then dinner served at 7:15.

The wedding start time is typically the ceremony time, do not ask your guests to arrive 20 minutes early, they can get to the venue on time. That said, I would start right at 3 PM.
Is there a reason for the 1.5 hour happy hour? That's quite long.
The ten minute buffers you built in are unnecessary (example: 5:30pm Cocktail hour and a half, 5:40pm Reception begins) it should be 4-5 PM Cocktail Hour and 5 PM Reception Begins (or 5:30 if you're sticking with 1.5 hours).
8:30 also seems really late to just open up the dance floor, I'd bump that up as well.
