first off congrats!! Which hall are u thinking about having your reception at? is it far from your church? for me the gap between the church & reception is about 3 hrs. the church is 30 minutes away from the hall. i'm sorry u been having problems with the church
Thanks!!!! Yeah, you would think the church would be happy to have new parishiners!!!! Well, we want a full mass... so it'll be a little over an hour, and the hall is about 25 minutes away. We are almost definitely gonna go with the Woodlands. So if we start cocktail hour at 7, you think thats enough time??? with the mass starting at 5??? Grr... no, right??

Ever been?? We're going there in 3 weeks!!! I think we are staying at the Renaissance??? Is that the one off on it's own private island?
congrats, and you can always get married at the hall!!
I think you're cutting it short. If the mass ended at 6:15, you'd need about ten minutes after to take pics at the church. You'd get to the CH just as it started. If you're taking pics at your RH, you'll miss some of your CH. If you're not planning on going to your CH, then it's not as big of a deal. Also, if you take pics before the ceremony, that'll save you some time, although I know some brides don't want FH to see them before the ceremony. If you were able to get it to start just a half hour sooner, I think you'd be ok. Otherwise, you might have to skip doing a mass if you want to attend your CH and do pics after the ceremony.
Ahhhhh... picture taking..... that slipped my mind. Yup, thanks for the advice. Maybe we could start the CH at 8 ??? I honestly am so annoyed with this church thing I would get married at the hall. I suggested it to my FH and he wants the church thing. He's religious, I'm not. I think hes scared cause it would kill his mommy, but thats another thread... hahah

I'll have to check, I think we're staying there. We booked it a while back so I don't remember which Marriot we chose. But either way, I will definitely take tonnnnnssssss of pics!!!
congrats and welcome to the site!!!!!!!!!!!!!! usually there is a 4 hour gap between the church and reception..but that may be alittle much..I think that if you ch started at 8 and you were finished at church by about 5:30 you should have enough time...it really depends on where you want to take pictures..you could do it at the hall and save time

Oh and feel free to pick my brain. I went to about 10 halls. Today I am going to my last, Hamlet in Commack, before we go into contract on Thursday with the Woodlands!!!!
