Hi again to everyone,
Please excuse any rambling here but my heads in a bit of a pickle !
Due to our ceremony not being until 3.30pm, we'll have drinks in the garden and formal photos taken before sitting down to our meal until 5.15pm and the speeches will done before it is served so based on the timing that our venue has given us for the room to be turned around our evening reception won't begin until 8pm (we'll have some more photos taken during the room change), so we are planning on opening the evening with the cutting of the cake followed by the first dance at 8pm.
This has got us me thinking about the timing of our evening food. Originally we had planning to have bacon/sausage baps and a cheese selection along with a chocolate fountain/dips served at 9.45pm and the cake would also be served at this time, but now I'm thinking this will be too much and too early ?????
Our quote for the chocolate fountain is for a 3 hours period but it is up to ourselves if we use for this long but we pay the same anyway. So now I'm thinking of having the fountain set up when the evening starts (8pm) until 11pm and having the bacon/sausage butties and cake served at around 10/10.30pm along with the cake and just cutting out the cheese selection all together (venue can do veggie sausage so no problem for the couple of vegetarian guests).
There will be no extra evening guests and the fountain will be set up in an adjoining room to the main one so our guests can just go and pick from it as they want to and it wont disturb the flow of the evening plus we get the full time use of the fountain.
My heads in a spin with it all, so what do you lot think ?????
Thanks in advance
