Hi all,
I’m really torn between the two start times, but I’m leaning towards 4:30 because of the “good luck” associated with the time. Our church is ~10 min drive from our reception venue, a popular brewery where guests may/may not struggle with parking. Reception starts at 6pm.
We are doing a first look, and bridal party portraits before our 30 minute ceremony. Which I thought would leave ample time for family portraits at approx 5pm before heading to the brewery. Neither of our families are very big, and we only anticipate maybe 60 guests in attendance, however after meeting with our reverend he said the receiving line could add another 30 mins before being able to start family pictures. I honestly haven’t been to a wedding in so long I don’t really remember receiving lines?? Is this a necessary thing? And if not, how do we gracefully take pictures with our families quickly while still making it to our reception on time? Maybe I’m being silly but I really don’t want to miss any of our own party 😩
