Ceremony Send Off Logistics not ideas

Are you leaving from the ceremony and going to the reception at a different location? Or are you leaving your reception with a send off? My sister had the DJ announce we were sending off the bride and groom and everyone gathered outside and then they came out. But she went around the clock and came back. So it depends on how you're doing it. Do you want after ceremony? After reception? In the middle?

Your DJ announces that its time for the bride and groom exit and they must all go gather to whatever location and then you exit.

I know you are not looking for ideas but as an example of what we are doing, which is a sparkler send off, people will exit the venue and be lined up on the stair case, the DJ will tell everyone to go outside and then our wedding planner will have people line up and hand out the sparklers. If you do not have a planner you can ask 1 or 2 people in your wedding party or just someone you find responsible enough, explain what you want done and ask them to organize people for you. As people are lining up, we will be waiting inside and will get the go ahead from my planner on when to leave.

View Quoted Comment Our Ceremony is at a church and the reception is at a country club. I want to have a send off after the ceremony with everyone lined up outside. Our close family would be staying after the send off for pictures in the church while the rest of the guest travel to the reception site for cocktail hour. I don’t want to do a reception final exit as our reception ends at 10:30 which is rather late for many of the guests.

You get your ushers and/or family and bridal party to lead people outside. It's pretty customary for there to be some sort of exit, so I don't think people will need much leading.

Do you have a day of planner or anything? They can help with this too. What we did was walk out of church into side area, wait for guests to line up outside, once everyone was out our planner was telling people to get ready for us, we went out with people throwing things and waving and yelling and got in a car and did loop around the block, back for photos.
