I’m just finding out how complicated it is arranging suppliers and trying to decide on a wedding timeline for the day.
Bit of info - ceremony and reception at same place (reception in outdoor marquee)Instead of a traditional wedding breakfast I’m having antipasti platters on each table and a large dessert table to help yourself to.In terms of planning the rest of the day around this, how does this sound:
12.30pm guests arrive 1pm Ceremony1.30pm canapés / photos3pm “wedding breakfast” - platters and dessert table5pm speeches 6.30pm evening guests arrive (lawn games provided / possibly aerial acrobatics)7.30pm southern style bbq 8.30pm first dance / cake cutting 9pm Band (60min set) until 10pm, 20-30min interval and then 10.30pm-11.30pm set. 12pm Wind down / home (many of the wedding party are staying in on-site accommodation)
I don’t want people to be going hungry or bored between things.
