We are having our cocktail hour at 7:30

Depending on how long we are doing our ceremony we will prob have it at 6:30 or 7 (its at the RH)

Originally everyone in the fam was telling me not to see FH until the ceremony and take pics during cocktail hour. But I´m thinking about doing the reveal before at the RH or maybe at a nearby park. If we do that then we´ll prob start a few hours before. I´d have to double check with our photog (when we finalize who it is)

The church is only 2 minutes from the house so I dont need to factor in time for that. I dont know exactly what time we'll start... i will get an idea from my hair guy how long he needs to do 6 people

4pm Ceremony
6:30 Coctail Hour
7:30 Reception

Our ceremony is at 330p on the south shore of LI..

then our CH doesn't start until 7
reception is 8-12..

we're hoping to do church pics, and fox hollow pics with the bridal party..

then we found a small out cove on the north shore where we can take pictures with just the two of us

I think we have enough time for everything..

If we do our ceremony at WM then it will be at 6:30, with pictures before the ceremony.
if its at a church then probably 3:00, with pictures in between.
