Is 16 miles/ 30 minutes give or take between the ceremony and the reception too much?

Is that taking into account traffic?

I am usually fine with up to 45 minutes between ceremony and reception, but that tends to be pushing it for a lot of people. So I think 30 minutes is fine. Just make sure that the time of day your wedding is on isn’t a time where that 16 miles actually takes an hour because of traffic.

I don’t think that’s unreasonable at all!

The ceremony would be at 4. It wouldn’t be very long so I think the cocktail hour at the reception would start at 5 or 530? the family would stay for pictures and would hopefully all be there around 6.
