    Starts at 9 pm and will end in the wee hours of the morning.

    I'm betting around 8 hours. Greek wedding receptions last forever.

    Including cocktail hour it will be 7 hours long (6 p.m. until 1 a.m.) though I imagine most guests will start leaving around midnight.

    Cocktail hour from 4-5, and reception from 5-10, so 5 or 6 hours. The ceremony will be around 30 minutes.

    Cocktail hour will be from 6:30-7:30, and reception will be from 7:30-11:30, so 4 or 5 hours, depending on how you look at it.

    Our whole ordeal is 4 hours. We are getting married in the afternoon and just having a luncheon after the ceremony. It’ll be lovely.

    About 3 hours. Starting at 7pm and ending around 10, but we may go longer if it seems right, and the family hosting the reception doesn't mind
