Timeline 5-10pm help

My ceremony starts at 4 and we're planning on the reception being over by 11, so not quite the same, but here is our tentative schedule;

4pm- Ceremony

4:30pm- Cocktail Hour/Pictures

5:30pm- Dinner Seating

6:30pm- Toasts/Speeches/Etc

6:45pm- First Dance/Mother&Daughter Dances

7:00pm- Let the party begin

10:30pm- Last Call

11:00pm- Everyone leaves

Ours was like this:

5pm - ceremony

5:30pm - finish pictures/cocktail hour ( did a first look and wedding party pictures before ceremony)

6:30pm - First dance/dinner (buffet)

7:15pm - father and mother dances/toasts

7:30pm - Dancing begins

7:45pm - Cake cutting

10pm - Everyone leaves

Hi Karen,

The first things to sort out are how long your ceremony will take, what pictures you want to take and when/where, and if any travel time needs to be factored in between locations. A few of these articles might help you begin to bring your timeline together:

Have you also spoken to your key vendors to get their input on your timeline?
