Time between ceremony and reception when at different venues?

We are doing our stuff at two different places. Ceremony at 3 and reception to start at 5. We talked with our photographer and got a time idea on pictures (we're doing ours after the ceremony) and a rough idea on the ceremony from our pastor and decided that was a good timing. We aren't doing a Catholic cermony though and I know those tend to run a little longer than the one we're having. Hope that helps!

We are having our ceremony at 3 PM and reception at 6 PM. I guess that's a little far apart, but I've been to worse. I really wanted to make sure we were done with pictures in time to enjoy our cocktail hour.

Hi Shaunna!!! I am getting married May 16, 2015! You are the 1st person that I have seen getting married this close to my date!

I think that 2 hours between is a reasonable amount of time in between, as long as thats enough time for your guests to exit your ceremony space + chat time + travel time to the reception.

My ceremony is 3-4 and my cocktail hour is at a different place and doesn't start until 6. So I'm hoping the two hour difference is okay for everyone like Jaimie said I wanted to enjoy my cocktail hour with everyone so we made time for pictures.

Hi Future Mrs. F So cool to see someone with a date near mine! I don't think we will be alone for long though once Christmas this year rocks around

Thanks everyone for the tiips, it definately helps us getting a rough idea

That depends on how far the venues are apart... You said about 15 minutes, so thats similur to what we have planned. Here is the way we have it set up- We are having a church ceremony at 4, and having our reception at a vineyard about 20 minutes away. I have guests arriving at the reception at 5:15, and us arriving at 6:15. Allow about an hour for guests to arrive, and if you guys plan on post-ceremony pictures with family, or alone give yourself an extra hour.

Our ceremony starts at 3pm. The reception is from 5 to 8pm. The DJ is only allowed to start setting up at 4pm. So with an hour of photos after ceremony I believe all will work out fine for us. Doesn't take DJ that long to set up. Bout 45 mins. Our reception venue is like 200 or 300 yards maybe not that far. I'm estimating here. From the church where the ceremony will take place and those not being in the pics are allowed to head on to the reception site and get their tables. We aren't far behind. Good luck with urs and congrats.

Our ceremony is at 1 and the reception is from 4:30-8:30 with my planning on us getting there about 5.

The venues are about 30 min apart. I'm hoping it's enough to do pics (location is halfway between).
