What to do with hour gap between end of ceremony to start of cocktail hour?

Flannery, on November 15, 2024 at 5:25 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 2

Hello!

our reception spot does not allow for us to begin cocktail hour until 5:30 and our ceremony (catholic church) will end around 4pm. the location from the church to the reception space is maybe a 5 minute walk.

what do i tell guests to do for the hour? especially since cocktails & passed snacks wont start until 5:30, id hate to send people off to spend money on food or drinks at a local bar. any advice would be much appreciated! Smiley smile

    Are you able to move the ceremony start time back an hour, so that it ends around 5? A half hour gap would be much easier for guests than an hour and a half gap.
