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 3am. Well probably be fine around 1-2ish. Love it because it's a Friday night wedding, so it's not starting til 6 anyway. We're going for a more party atmosphere, so it's perfect.

    We have to be out by midnight. However, since we will be having to do all the cleanup, we really want things to wrap up/guests be gone around 10:00. We will be arranging an after party somewhere because I would rather have the extra time to make sure the venue is cleaned up and we get our deposit back than party until the last minute and forget something major. We also are having the wedding to begin at 2:00, so realistically I think guests will start to depart at 8:00ish which is fine with me because many guests are going to have to drive an hour and a half to the venue anyway.

    I'm glad I seen this post! I thought I was the only one playing the "What is too late?" game... I have been playing with the "end" time of my wedding. I know my family and friends and I know they can go long - My wedding starts at 4:45. I keep playing w/ ending it at 11 or 12. Just can't decide. It did start at 5:45 but didn't want dinner to start too late.

    Ours will be ! The majority of guests invited are young so were a bit of party animals even thinking of an after party.

    Our reception is from 7-10pm. 10 pm is the latest, so everyone has to be out by then. We don't have any clean up. The venue provides that for us. We'll probably be exhausted by 10 pm, let alone, we have 2 kids to put to bed.
