Originally I thought we needed like 5.5 hours for the wedding / reception: 30 minutes arrival time (our wedding is in January in the land of snow - so driving delays, boot and jacket removal etc.) 30 minutes for ceremony, 1 hour for dinner, 1.5 hours for dancing / mingling, cake and then another 1.5 hours of dancing/mingling, but as the date is getting closer I'm thinking this is way to much time! We have our venue for 14 hours for set up , event and taredown. What is a realistic wedding timeline? Thanks so much our invites state 5:30 pm if that helps.
