Is your ceremony and reception at the same location?

How are you separating them, if at all? Are they in the same room Golden Globes style or are guests ushered to another area for tear down, or does the venue have different areas to utilize? Are you staying at the same venue for the after party?

    We're not set on a venue yet but we have some ideas most of them they would be in the same place.

    Yes, our ceremony and reception will be at the elks lodge in Norwood, MA. They have a field on the side of the building which will be used for the ceremony

    I'm having my ceremony in the church and my reception is going to be at the Hilton which has plenty of perks.

    Hi there!

    We are having both ceremony and reception at the same venue. The ceremony will be held on the lawn and the reception in a glass atrium. The venue has rooms for the bride & groom to get done in separately, and is really huge so there are also a lot of photo opportunities at the venue so no need to leave at all.

    Everything will be at the same venue. We selected Orting Manor and we have the venue for the entire weekend.

    Usually at the same venue but at a different location within the venue.

    As you can imagine, ceremony seating is very different than dinner seating.

    Usually, if a venue has them in the same room then they will have cocktail hour in a separate area so that they have time to "flip the space" which just means change the layout and set up to what is appropriate for a reception.

    My wedding will be at my church and the reception will be where he is from. So we will be in Akron for the ceremony and we will take a limo to downtown Cleveland which is 40 minutes away to celebrate at an historic building called The Ballroom On Park Lane. Congratulations to you on your engagement and good luck with your wedding planning ❤️❤️

    The ceremony was outside and the reception was in the nasher hall. I would recommend having a wedding not in June as the grass looked horrible. Everything else was beautiful but it was hot outside.

    The ceremony is booked at a farm in north Las Vegas, and due to the fact that we have a micro guest list (literally four people), we will be booking a reservation at the nicest steakhouse in our hotel instead.

    And yes, we have a local bakery delivering a mini-cake Smiley laugh

    Hi everyone! We decided to have both our ceremony and reception at the same venue Smiley smile For our setup, the ceremony will take place in a garden area with a lovely view and plenty of space for our guests. After the ceremony, we'll have a cocktail hour on the terrace while the staff prepares the indoor hall for the reception. The reception will be indoors, but we’re also using an adjacent patio for additional space and some fun outdoor activities. We love the convenience of having everything in one location, and it makes it easier for our guests too. As for the after party, we didn't plan it yet, though we might end up heading to a local bar nearby Smiley laugh
