So here is some information:
Our ceremony is taking place at a park trellis that I LOVE. It is 20 minutes from our reception location.
We originally thought we would have our reception from 6 to midnight. (Not sure if that is too long). That does not include the 2 hours set up and 1 hour take down.
The trellis can only be reserved during two specific time blocks or you can reserve both and have it all day, but that is obviously double the price. So if we want to save, we have the choice between 10-3 or 5-9:30. We can't set up beforehand and have to have it all cleaned up before the time block ends.
I'm trying to think of how I can make one of those work. Our wedding will be on a Friday so having a later ceremony wouldn't be the end of the world, it might be better for some guests. But I worry about having enough time to set up 50 chairs and then the PA system prior to the ceremony and not cutting things too close.
I don't know….hopefully all that information makes sense and someone can help me come up with an idea for what times to do what and whether I should pay double for both time blocks or not?
