Hi everyone!
First time poster here... I have some time before I really need to worry about my wedding day timeline, however it's heavily dependent on the venue at this point, so I wanted to get some opinions.
My FH and I are doing a very casual, small wedding (less than 40 people). The venue that we absolutely love has very strict times, however.
We would be allowed on the property 1 hour beforehand (so 11am) to decorate. The ceremony would be 30 minutes at the wedding gazebo @ 12pm, and then the reception would be at 12:30pm-2pm. We then have 1 hour to clean, and have to be out by 3pm. The venue package includes the food, music, and cake so while I will need to make my selections, I do not have to set these up at the wedding.
Some notes: Decorations will be very limited, as the venue already fits our theme. The reception portion we intend on only using for lunch & cake. We are not doing the traditional parts of the bouquet toss or dancing (neither of us dance, and my dad isn't in the picture).
Our venue is actually located on a Renn Faire grounds, so the venue package price includes tickets for all of our guests to go to the renn faire afterwards, which was our post reception plan, to get drunk and have fun at the faire, which closes around 8pm.
I think I'm most worried about the photos, but I'm wondering if this seems reasonable, if we are cutting the reception portion down to just drinking & eating?
(just a note, it does say I'm getting married in October 2022, but it may be 2023 depending on venue decision. Wanted to join the site though haha)
