What time did your reception end?

Erica, on September 19, 2013 at 2:02 PM Posted in Planning 0 42

So I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a venue to let you stay a little later because I am Mexican/American and we like to throw big party like weddings (: lol but I've noticed most venues want you to end at 10 what time did your reception end? I just feel like 10 is early

    My wedding was from 5 pm to 11pm. It was enough time for me. 10pm is a little early.

    Mine ended at 10. We had an after party at our hotel in the bar. It lasted until 3 or 4. We went to bed around 1 or 2 I think.

    My first wedding reception was over around 9, but the BP, some friends/cousins went out for drinks/apps/bowling afterwards.

    This time, I expect it to be over early. Way early. At most we'll have 60 guests and not many young people (likely little to no dancing). However, we're planning to have at least some people hang out at the B&B with us afterwards (some will be spending the night as well) - maybe drink/play games/???.

    Ours is going to be a daytime wedding, and I expect us to be out of there by 8 at the latest! Not sure what the evening will hold? small informal get together? bar hoping? Only time will tell!

    That's the only thing I regretted about my venue. I had my wedding at a state park, and the park closed at dusk. So we had to be out of there by 8. Reception was over so we could take everything down at 7:30. Sucked, but oh well, it was a Sunday so it wasn't going to be a late night anyway.

    Ours ends at 10:30...but that's just because of the way the timing worked out, ours will let us end up until 2am I believe...

    Our reception is from 8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. There's a restaurant at the venue (a hotel) that stays open until 2:00 a.m. There's a few guests staying at the hotel and depending on how we feel, we may continue at the restaurant's lounge.

    My reception ends at 10:30 and everyone has to be out by 11 :/ It's the venue's rule, not ours. Afterparty at the hotel unless I'm too tired.. well, I mean, everyone else can party but if I'm exhausted I'm going to sleep..

    We have our reception venue from 7-11. We will probably end it at about 10 so we have time for clean up.

    @ hot Chocolate. It was a great night! Irish weddings tend to go late into the night/morning. We had a destination wedding, so everyone was on vacation and down to party!

    We have the ballroom scheduled from 4-10 but they said we can stay however late we want. My DJ will play however long I want him to. Plus there is a bar in the hotel open until 2am so I plan on us partying it for a bit. Everyone is looking forward to it plus a lot of locals plan on getting rooms at the hotel.
