We are having our ceremony at 3pm and cocktail hour is at 6:30...Ceremony and Reception are only 20 min from each other..Do you think that is enough time???

I went to just a ceremony yesterday & it started at 1pm. By the time it was all said & done, we left the church by 2:15pm - that is without a full mass. I'd figure 1 1/2 - 2 hours at the church for the full mass, receiving line, and pictures.

OMG...you are freaking me out! My ceremony is at 3 and my coctail hour is at 5. We aren't having a mass, so I thought the church would only be about 1/2 hour. We are going to take BM pics before the ceremony and the rest of the pics after the ceremony. Am I the only one with just a 2 hour gap?

I had only 2 hours at first and I am also only doing a ceremony at the church, but I figured it will start late and with the receivng line, it'll be 4pm or later by the time we are done at the church. Then 20-30 minutes to get to reception location. I also wanted to make sure I was at my entire reception so I pushed it back to 6pm.
