    Catholic Blessing ceremony that i've been told will be less than 30 minutes long.

    Great idea except the church is outside of town while the reception venue is a good 30 minute drive away from the church.

    I'm trying to bulk up the ceremony to last an extra 10 minutes or so in order to make it worth people's drive.

    Short. We’re having the ceremony & reception at the same place and only have it for a short amount of time, so we want to get the party started sooner rather than later.

    Definitely 30 minutes or less. I can’t imagine being a bride and having a longer ceremony than that let alone a guest lol!

    Short, sweet, and to the point! I'm hoping no more than 25 minutes from walking down the aisle to us walking back up the aisle.

    We're haveing a short and sweet kinda wedding I think. LoL. The entire ceremony should last an hour at best but my officiant has the tendencies to get a bit long winded. Here's hoping.

    Ours was fairly short - from the guest seating to the last body out of the room it was about an hour. Actual ceremony was about 30-40 minutes.

    30 minutes or so.... I'm not sure if that's considered long or not. But its a traditional service with scripture reading, etc.
