how early should the limo drop us at the hall?

im trying to figure out how many hours i need,

mass starts at 145(should last an hour i guess 245/300).. really shouldnt have a receivng line problem..
then take pictures 10 minutes away(so be there by 3:10)... maybe a couple of hours of pics???(more or less?
that would make it 5:10, arrive at hall at 6??
but cocktail isnt til 7.... there isnt much area to take pictures in(a gazebo, and an inside area)..
so will we be sitting around with nothing to do ??

Re: how early should the limo drop us at the hall?

I would say that you'll need them for at least 5.5 hours. You can have the limo pick up your FH and his GM at 1pm to drop them at church, then come to get you. If you reserve them from 1-6:30, then you don't have to worry about going overtime at all, and you can take as many pictures as you want at the park. But, if you want pictures at the hall as well, get there a little earlier than you 6:30. If you get finished, you can always hang out in the Bridal Suite before cocktail hour starts.
