    Since we didn't do dancing, we reserved the restaurant for four hours and the party wound up after around 3 hours.

    5-6 hours total. We have to be out of our venue by 11:30pm and most of our guests are older so I don't see that being an issue.

    I literally have no clue... this is something we’re just winging. Our venue is flexible w/ time & it’s just family coming (60 people) so... we’ll see
