Wedding day timeline

Does the venue allow you time to setup prior to 4:30?

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately no this time is for getting ready. They do the setup though

View Quoted Comment OK next question, you have 11 PM on a Thursday as the end time. Is that the time that the venue is completely shut down and everything has to be cleared out? What time do you see your guests leaving, and what time do you see your grand exit?

View Quoted Comment 11 pm is when everything has to be town down and complete so I guess a grand exit at 1030

View Quoted Comment I’m just brainstorming here, so take all this with a grain of salt. Also your venue is STUNNING, I just looked up. Keep in mind sunset is at 5:10p in NC on your date. If your want outdoor photos or sunset photos, I’d recommend a first look or at least family portraits/bridals before the ceremony.
