I would opt for outdoor ceremony since it's the shorter of the two.

Indoor reception for sure. As for the ceremony, it really depends on the venue we decide to get. More than likely it’ll just be inside as well.

We are doing an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception. Our guest list is pretty small and the outdoor location is pretty secluded, and the indoor reception is providing us the intimate feeling of closeness with our guest while serving as a backup location in case of weather.

My venue / Someone else's wedding.My venue / Someone else's wedding.
My ceremony will be outside on a mountain top and my reception is in the lodge at the bottom.

Both Wedding and Reception will be indoors. Even though we are getting married in November, there are still insects lurking around in FL

Ceremony, it can be relatively quick compared to a reception. Not to mention I wouldn't want to risk insects getting in someone's food or drinks.

If we could have, I would have loved to do an outdoor reception. I think it would have been so romantic to have the stars lighting our evening.
