| Dinner should probably be served by 7 at the latest. remember some people will straggle in a bit late so don't serve at 6. The wedding party should probably plan to walk in around 6 - 6:15 (by 6:15, if the guest is late then they miss it, too bad for them).Congrats and good luck |

| wedding party should arrive no later than 6pm, and lay low until you're introduced by the DJ and make your entrance shortly after 6. some people do the first dance and toasts at that point, and then dinner is served after those festivities, which would be 630 or so |

| What day of the week is the wedding? If it is a weekday and any of your guests may have left work to come to your wedding an earlier dinner may be a good idea. If you don't want to serve the dinner almost immediately an appetizer bar might be in order. As for the wedding party arrival do you wish to make a grand entrance? or be there when your guests arrive? Are you doing the old fashioned reception line where you greet the guests or simply mingling? Much to consider before making time considerations. Enjoy your day |

| Wedding party should arrive around 6:20. If you can keep everyone in check at the church the photos will go by fairly quick, you are only going to need at the point pictures with the two of you and your families and wedding party at the church. Once you get to the hall, it gives you a chance to regroup and to use the restroom our have a smoke. Then at 6:35 you could have the wedding party be introduced, which typically starts with parents first, followed by the wedding party from last to BM and Maid/Matron of honor. With the two of you being introduced last. At that time everyone gets seated, you have the toasts, and then either the pastor gives the invocation or the father of the bride, and then at 7:00 dinner. |
