Re: how much time are you going to have in between church and cocktail hour?
Hi, I am MattandTricia07's sister and just wanted to add. We had from 3:30 until 7 and I was NOT happy about it at first BUT in the end, it was perfect....we got to take all of our pictures (didn't really finish and arrive at CLM until 6:30) and relax a bit in the bridal suite before our CH. Guests went back to the hotel, rested, changed, hit the bar there or went home if they lived closer. I

Ceremony ends at 3:30 and cocktail hour starts at 5:00...but our guests are allowed to start arriving at the RH at 4:30. So we have anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half in between.

We're doing just ceremony at 3pm and the Marriot was able to accomodate us at 5pm. I figured once the 'receiving line' that my mom wants and everything is done it'll be at 4pm and then everyone is staying at the Marriot that night so they'll have time checki-in, etc. and plenty of time for our pics.

Re: how much time are you going to have in between church and cocktail hour?
Oh I almost forgot, my MOH got married this past April and she had 3pm till 6pm in between. We were busy taking pictures, but my mom said that it was good cause it was about 30-40 mins between the church and RH (EastWinds) and they got lost! But it was nice, we were all able to spend time with everyone out on the patio for the CH and take the family pics then.
