Hi, I was hoping to get some advice. My venue had a running order and I was very happy to go along with this.
However that was based on a 2pm Ceremony, the registrar could only do 1pm or 3pm on that day. So I went with 1pm.
The new timings means that everything has been pushed forward by 1 hour. So originally the DJ would start and the eve would kick off about 7:30pm however now it's coming up at 6:30pm which just feels too early for me.
I want to try and squeeze half an hour into the daytime and have the DJ start at 7pm instead, so I wondered if this running order sounded ok?
I won't be having canapes, but there will be drinks in-between ceremony and the wedding breakfast. I also the wedding breakfast is a BBQ and mini puds so it will be more buffet like. I read that, that can take longer than a sit down meal.
