How Late was your Reception?

Randi, on October 9, 2021 at 5:30 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8

How late was your venue open for your reception?


I've looked at a few venues. two I really like but one closes at 10pm. My family, well we are party animals (Open bar? Of Course!) so is 10pm a normal like cut off for a reception?


If this is normal.

What did you do after the 10pm mark?


Thanks!

    Our reception ends at 10 but it is right in downtown so they coordinate with a local bar a block away for anyone from the wedding to get in without a cover charge! The bar is super fun, and open til 2, so that’s our plan! We made sure to include it in our weekend itinerary email to guests and on our website and made it clear that it was a cash/credit bar AKA we would not have a tab 😂 planning to go straight there from the reception in our wedding clothes!

    Our reception was over by 10 & we had everything packed up by 1030. By that point we were kind of tired being around people & just wanted to be alone!

    Ours ended at 10 because we didn't want to pay $150 per hour to make it longer--I am pretty sure that a bunch of my family members got together after the reception, but we stopped by Taco Bell and went home and passed out! We didn't eat at the reception (my shapewear was so tight that eating made me nauseous, and DH was too anxious to eat) so the Taco Bell was a nice late-night snack.
