How many hours are you renting your venue for the ceremony and reception?

We have ours from 10am to midnight. We have to be cleaned up by midnight so we are stopping the party at 11.

We have our venue from

5:15- 10:45 (5:15-6:15 is set-up).

Our venue allows 10 hours on a Saturday! You can choose anytime from 10-10. So we are doing 12-10. That more then enough time to set up, get ready there, and do first look!

We had our venue for 8 hours, the caterer begun setting up at 10 AM (they set up chairs for the ceremony too), ceremony was at noon and the caterer asked us to be out by 5PM, so they would have a full hour to clean up.

We have our venue from 9am til 11pm. So about 14 hours and our ceremony and reception are also in the same space.

My ceremony and reception are in the same place we have the outdoor chapel for 3 hrs and the other part for reception all day til sunset

We have our venue Friday for setup, Saturday for the wedding/reception and Sunday for gift opening and clean up!

Ours will be for 8 hours. Set up, ceremony, and reception. They're cleaning up.

We get the entire day.

8 hours ( 2 hours to get ready, take pics), but they will set up and clean up

My venue gives you the entire day and since we also booked our rehearsal dinner there that Friday we actually get 7pm the night before until we finish partying Saturday night. Other venues I've looked at usually give you a max of 8 hours and that's for everything, set up, wedding, reception ect.

This will vary tremendously with whether the venue is all-inclusive or bare-bones. For my event at a semi-inclusive country club: event time: 5 hours. Setup: 2 hours. Teardown: 45 minutes. But the 'teardown' is basically putting our centerpieces in bins and carrying gifts to someone's car. No messing with linens, chair covers, rentals etc. And we're staying in cabins onsite that night, so stuff only has to make it 100 yards.
