A church ceremony and a separate reception add travel to the day. Guests need a clear gap between the two, and vendors need time to finish setting up the reception room.
What to plan for
- Confirm the church's rules on photos, music, decorations and when you need to be out.
- Plan transportation for the wedding party, and give guests the reception address and parking details.
- Fill the gap with a cocktail hour so guests aren't waiting around.
