Ok here's the thing.... I have worked out my budget, and the venue of where we're going to get married, but..... We're aiming at getting married at 2pm, but the evening reception wont be starting until between 7 and 8pm... What should we do inbetween the end of of the wedding service and the evening reception???

We're having a sit down meal at our venue... have you looked into that? x
CommentAuthoralffiesmummy
No I haven't. Don't have the first idea as to where to look.. I thought I was doing so well with the planning then! There's always something that stumps you!

We're thinking of having a BBQ at the venue instead of a sit down meal, especially with it being in august xx

yeah you definitely to arrange some food for inbetween people will be passing out lol! if a full wedding breakfast is too expensive lots of people are having buffets instead, then just topping it up for the evening x
But where would I hold the buffet? Do I hold it at the evening venue or somewhere else??
CommentAuthorFaye
where is your venue then? for the arriage and evening? xx
CommentAuthoralffiesmummy
the marriage is only going to be at a registry office as niether of us are religious... And the evening do is going to be held in a private function hall...
CommentAuthorFaye
could they let you have the meal there? and bring in your own caterers??? as that usually works out cheaper then a venue arranging the bwedding breakfast x

How about a returant then? Or someones garden? Or a pub?

We are getting married at 1.00 pm at registry office, then photos, then sit down meal at reception venue at about 3/3.30 ish, evenign recepton is 7/7.30ish. By the time we have photos done, then we'll have bubbly/bucks fizz or similar before sit down meal, then they have to turn the room around, the time will fly by.

I'm getting married in a CIVIL ceremony in a hotel, at 4pm, then photos, and the evening reception for everyone is starting at 7, but we've told people to be there for 6 for speeches. We're having 2 buffets, a small one to keep our ceremony guests going whilst photos are being dealt with then another for everyone at 8 ..

Were having our civil ceremony at 2pm then going straight to our reception with our close friends and family :) That's our plan for the day anyway :D
