Timeline Question....

Too spaced out?

I am getting married 3pm in Bayside Queens....having a full Catholic Mass.....taking pictures outside of the church with both families/grandparents/bridal party......then traveling to New Rochelle for pictures on the beach and on the reception premises....and my cocktail hour starts at 8pm

Is that too much time in between or do you think I am being cautious by allowing that time in between for everthing?

Also keep in mind it is on a Friday and there will be rush hour traffic going over the Throgs Neck Bridge into the Bronx.

What do you ladies think

My church is at 3 and my CH is at 7.

Honestly, I would think about at least making it 7:30. Remember you have to pay photogs and limos by the hour so it can get pricey. Looking back I probably would have made my CH @ 6:30. Granted, my reception is about 20 minutes away from my church. The other problem is that my church and reception are pretty far from most people so they don't have time to go home.

there is no changing the reception times..if anything i would change teh church.....but i think i am leaving it the way it is..

we are doing a party bus...no limos and i already have the photographer for 10 hours in my package..i should be ok!
