what time are you serving dinner and dessert?

We are doing a buffet dinner since with indian food, you need several different dishes per person and the tables will get too crowded otherwise.

Our reception starts at 8pm and we're thinking of serving at 9-ish. I know that's late but our cocktail hour is going to have 5 different stations with ALOT of food!!

Our reception starts at 830.. so dinner will prob be served at around 9ish? Our Viennese hour starts at 1130. HTH!

ETS: We didn't have a buffet though.

Thanks ladies. I know most people do a sit down dinner but with indian food, it's very difficult.

Since we are doing a huge cocktail hour (5 different international stations) along with several butler passed items, I think dinner at 9:30 should be ok. Then dessert around 10:15 (including viennese display).

I can't believe it's less than 3 weeks away!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn want my guests to have to wait to eat dinner. I made sure dinner wasnt served any later than 8pm. Our wedding Reception started at 5pm though.
