I am starting to worry about the time between the ceremony, which starts at 3:15, and the cocktail hour which starts at 7.
Since it will be a Catholic service, it will be about an hour. Drive time between the chuch and caterer is about 30 minutes max. This is great for us, because we have plenty of time to take pictures, but I am worried about what my guests will do, especially those who are coming in from Brooklyn, upstate or out-of-state.
I am willing to pay to start the cocktail hour a half hour earlier. That still leaves almost 2 hours for people to wander Long Island and do what?? I took this is into account in the planning, but there was no way around it unless we had the ceremony onsite at the caterer. The church doesn't offer later times.
Any suggestions appreciated.
We are taking our Bridal Party with us. Weird thing about Westbury Gardens that you are charged by what time you think you will leave by. In other words if you shoot from 2:30 to 4:00 it is cheaper than shooting from 4:00 to 5:30. We will probably shoot about an hour as we want to do more family shots at the reception and 'peak our heads in' at the reception. Fox Hollow is really close though so we're not pushing it time wise. Good Luck
