Food after the ceremony

I don't think you'll need to provide anything for that short a time. I've got a similar gap but I think the time will pass quickly with post-ceremony drinks and group photos. If you think about a normal day, having lunch at 2pm is a little late but not that unusual.

We are getting married at 1pm and not sitting down to eat until 3.30 so we are having canapés as my guess is no one will have lunch and they will all be starving!

With your timings I don't think I'd worry- most people will be happy to have a late lunch! If it's really worrying you maybe see if your venue will provide 'nibbles'- we had this option- crisps, nuts, cheese straws and olives I think, for about £2 per person.

I think as a guest at a midday wedding I would realise I wasn't going to get fed at 12.30 and would have a later or bigger breakfast. Even if people don't then they'll be caught up in the activity of the wedding and will likely lose track of time enjoying themselves rather than clock watching (or so we all hope!!). The nibbles option suggested above might work well as a compromise if your venue can do it.

I hadn't thought about bar snack type nibbles so I'll have to ask about that. Thanks for the reassurance our guests won't be ready to eat us by 2pm!

Agree with TashandOwl, you won't need to do nibbles or canapés. We had those timings and it flew by.

2pm is totally fine; many people don't have lunch until 2pm. We had canapes but only because we weren't eating until 5pm. With your timings, there's no need to provide anything in such a short gap.
