Reception timings

SunnyPurpleHair275, 9 May, 2025 at 01:04 Posted on Planning 1 19
Hi everyone, I'm really struggling to visualise how our day will flow! We are getting married in a registry office around a 20-30 minute drive from our reception venue at 1.30pm. It's a garden party style wedding so no sit down meal, we're having a small buffet for 40ish people then a hog roast later in the evening (still undecided on time) for around 100 people. We have a magician booked and a DJ but we have recently been told we can't have music playing outside after 9.30pm so we're having to think of things for after that as we have the venue until 11pm . I'm over thinking everything and just need some sort of guidance 😆 can anyone suggest timings for things please 🙏

    Timing would be (based on photographing over 1,000 weddings )

    1.30 ceremony

    Out with confetti and a few photos by 2.00 and perhaps on your way to reception by 2.10

    Arrive at 2.50 allowing for getting out of the car / photos having a wee grabbing a drink.

    Everyone else should of arrived by 3.00 ( after going home first to feed the dog )

    From 3 to 4.30 photos mingling chatting drinking enjoying the garden and magic.

    Buffett at 4.30

    6.00 speeches if having any

    7pm eve guest arrive

    First dance at 8pm

    Hog roast at 9pm

    You could squeeze up the eve guests at 6.30 then a first dance at 7pm

    But I am confused about the no music outside- there must be an indoor space you could use as like for the buffet.

    I had trouble sleeping the other night and stumbled onto jackpot raider login while scrolling through some forums. Decided to poke around and ended up spending a solid hour playing. Based in the UK and not usually one to spend time on new sites, but this one felt familiar enough to trust. Got stuck in a loop of near-wins for a while, then hit a lucky streak and climbed back. The layout made it easy to stick around without getting lost in menus. Good experience overall.

    Thanks that's really helpful! Our venue is in a small village club so have to respect the neighbours, there is an inside space it can only hold around 50 people though. Im not sure whether to just have a playlist on inside i don't want people to get bored

    So was the dj going to play outside from the evening - from about 7pm. If so they could just play inside from 7pm instead. What can happen with a summer wedding if nice weather is that after the first dance the dance floor can be empty as most people are outside enjoying the weather and it may be really hot inside but as the sun goes down 9.30pm ish they move back in.

    Now I'm worried - just noticed that you have 100 people but the venue can only hold 50 !

    DJ is setting up at 2.30 outside in a sheltered area and was supposed to be playing all day/night, the whole place can hold about 120 with the outdoor area, we're having a marquee too 😊

    Hi Everyone. I am new to this community.

    Is there a weekend batch available for Civil CAD classes in Tambaram?

    I see, could the DJ move inside during the hog roast as at that point they usually turn the music down whilst people eat anyway and no one will notice, or as you say just keep to a playlist inside but its not quite the same without lighting - assuming the dj will have some outside.

    Also a heads up that the venue may insist on keeping the doors shut after 9.30 to keep any noise inside, in case you were perhaps thinking you could work around by letting the inside music waft out.

    Or use a playlist outside from 2.30 and have the DJ from 7pm and set up inside and stay inside. As I doubt many people will be dancing much between 2.30 and 7pm

    Our evening guests will start arriving from 6pm so we could potentially keep the hog roast til 9.30 for after the dancing is done, not sure that people would want to eat that late though!

    Most weddings given your timings have the eve food at 9pm so you will not be that far off. If you tell people the food timings then that helps.

    Hog at 9 and the DJ can perhaps move inside for from 9 to 9.30

    My only thought is perhaps get a a DJ who can do headphones for everyone if you want music. Not so daft, they do it on cruises.

    If you're trying to get accurate inmate or arrest details, it's always important to refer to a source that updates regularly. Many users face confusion when they can't find updated mugshots or court-related booking info. I recently came across this helpful resource for Lake County Booking that provides timely updates and clear details. It really saves time when you're looking for official detention information. Worth checking if you need recent arrest data in Lake County.
