I’m trying to figure out what time to have my wedding. The reception is at 2pm. It is about a 30 minute drive from my church to the lounge. I need time to thank my guests at the church (open ceremony, private reception). I’ve been to plenty of weddings but now that its time for me to do my timeline, I’m drawling a blank….HELP!

It depends on what kind of ceremony you are having mine (Episcopalian) will last about 1 1/2 hours. Normal weddings last about 20-30 mins. Hope that helps.

Mine from beginning to end lasts approximately 8 minutes including the processional. I wrote my own ceremony and it has the meaning I want it to. No more no less 🙂 I would say typically 20-30 mins though.
