Those getting married at Reception Hall

At my hall, my ceremony is at 11:30AM, but they serve drinks starting a half hour earlier (at 11AM) - so do I put 11 or 11:30 on my invitations? Thanks

We're having hot drinks served starting at noon before our 12:30 reception so we put noon on the invite.

I would put 11:00 so no one comes late.

Whatever time your hall says your guests can arrive is the time I would put down. Have to make sure the hall is prepared to greet the guests and has the room available, etc.

Put the half hour earlier. That way you avoid (hopefully) people coming late to the ceremony.
Our ceremony is at 12, and we are going to put 11:30 on the invites.
