If you're not doing a mass it shouldn't take much more than 45 minutes with the receiving line, depending on how many people you have.

We are doing the same thing and I would agree with this....45 minutes.

25-35 minutes at the most for a ceremony. A Mass takes about 55 to 60 minutes

Figure a regular ceremony is 20-25 min.

Our ceremony is at 3:30pm and we hope to be in the limo after the receiving line no later than 4:30pm!!!

Re: How long is catholic ceremony?

our priest told us a regular ceremony is 40 minutes or so. I'm allowing another 20 minutes for receiving line. and 15 minutes for some pics outside the church..

Ceremony starts at 5
There is a 45 minute trip to the hall, and I want to be there (its also my photo site) BY 7pm.

Cutting it close!
