How long is your reception

Original post by megsher

including cocktail hour? If it is not as long or as late as you'd like, are you planning an after party? If so what are you doing?
TIA

our reception with CH hour IF we get married at the church is 5.5 hours long, but if we get married there it's 6 hours grand total; 5.5 for reception and .5 for the ceremony. Our reception will go until 12:30, so no we are not planning any after party persay. There's a bar in the hotel and a bar down the block if people want to continue to hang out and party. I think I'll be pooped though lol

mine was 6hours...that was CH, reception & VH...
DH & i didn't go, but the hotel we set up for our guests also kept the bar/lounge open so people could have an 'after party' if they wanted...i was SHOCKED when i heard everyone actually went since our reception didn't end untill 2:30!

Ours is 5 hours including CH. Its ending at midnight. By the time we get to the hotel I'm sure everyone will be pooped. We're not planning anything afterward.

5hrs includes CH - I opted to not do the Vh because there isjust way to much as it is. Plus we get so many deserts & trays included that it wasnt necessary.
