Typical Wedding Timeline

Posted on January 6, 2023January 6, 2023

Of course your wedding will be catered to the availability of your officiant, venue, and other vendors, as well as your personal preferences, but this should help get you started!

4:00pm – Ceremony

4:30pm – Travel to reception (if ceremony is at a different location)

5:00pm – Cocktail Hour (finger foods, drinks, music, games, photobooth)

6:00pm – Grand Entrance (wedding party and/or bride & groom enter the reception)

6:05pm – MC Welcome

6:10pm – Dinner & Speeches (whether served or buffet, it’s best to wait until everyone has their food before beginning speeches)

7:00pm – Cake Cutting & Other (Slideshow, shoe game, etc.)

7:10pm – Quick break as servers clean-up and rearrange tables if need be, guests have a moment to get a drink or go to the bathroom

7:30pm – Special Dances (First Dance, Father & Daughter Dance, Mother & Son Dance)

7:45pm – Bouquet & Garter Toss (we suggest doing this earlier in the evening so your photographer can capture this and before your guests start to disperse)

8:00pm – Dance begins

Midnight – Farewells
