Is anyone else's wedding ending at midnight? At what time is yours ending?

My wedding will end around 11:30 to midnight because half of my family is Spanish, so we will dance all night and have a blast. In some Spanish countries weddings end really late. So for my wedding the adults will hang out and talk instead of leaving really early. What about yours? At what time will...

    We have to be out by 2 AM, so we'll probably shut it down around 1 AM or 1:15... But if nobody has the hall booked on Sunday we can party right until 2 AM and clean-up the next day Smiley smile

    Our dance will end at midnight. After dinner the dance will start and last for 4 hours. We have a lot of friends and family who like to have a good time and dance the night away.

    I'm a mix of Puerto Rican and Cuban.. and do we know how to party and dance it up! Unfortunately our wedding will end at 10:00pm and because it is on a private estate, everyone has to leave. My FH and I will stay in their cottage that night! We'll make up for it the next night, which will be Friday!

    Ours ends at 10:00, which I think is probably for the best. All the older folks will head out, and mostly all of the younger folks (plus those in my parents' age range) are staying at the hotel, which is where we'll have the after party. I'm thinking the after party probably will wind down between midnight and 1am.

    LikeSunshine we enjoy partying at weddings until late. At ours the booze was served until 1 am, DJ went until 2 am. DH and I left at 2:15. There were still at least 20 people there when we left

    Our reception venue is connected to a local casino and our cut-off according to the hall is 1 am. Our DJ/entertainer is booked until 11 but will stay upon our request. He said the reception needs to end when it SHOULDN'T and not when it SHOULD. Which makes sense now that I understand what he means. He wants us to leave our guests wanting more rather than wishing for it to end. Plus, if we decide to call it quits at 11, everyone will still be able to have fun - gamble, drink, watch a band in the bar, or just go back to their rooms (which are also in the hotel). I think we've ended up with the best of several worlds Smiley smile

    We have to be out of the venue by midnight so I am hoping to end at 11 so that we can gather our things before midnight.

    We have our hall until 1am, so we'll probably end the dancing at around 12:15ish to start cleaning. My family is always really good about helping with the cleanup, so I don't expect that part to take too long.

    Thinking it will end around 10 or 11 or 12... still undecided. It is on a Sunday BUT the next day is a holiday but most people are coming from out of town so I am still trying to decide on all that...

    Might end at 10 and do an optional after party ... Picking a timeline is tough. haha

    My wedding officially "ends" at 9:30 because that is the latest the DJ can be playing at our outdoor venue. Older people can go home if they want but anyone else can stay and make smores and listen to music around my venue's awesome campfire! We have the entire venue (plus lodge for sleeping) for the entire night so we can end it whenever we want Smiley smile
