Hi ladies! I need some advice on what time of day you are starting your wedding ceremony and when your reception is scheduled to end. My wedding will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida. The ceremony and reception will be held at two different locations, which are about 20 mins away from each other. The banquet hall is currently reserved for 5 hours total, including the cocktail hour. I am considering starting the reception at 6 and ending at 11. I need some ideas and advice to determine what a decent time is for both the ceremony and reception start times. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your help!

    Our shindig is all in one place.

    Ceremony starts at 6, cocktail hour, then reception. Should be done by 11ish, but if we are having fun we will pay the extra hour to keep partying until midnight.
