Day -Of Timeline
Ceremony Timeline
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Below is a template to work from as it relates to day of coordination, timelines and recommended order of ceremonies. We have also provided a Sample Program and Wedding Music Template to assist! You may also add this information to your Wedding Website as it applies.
​
1-3 Hrs Prior: Setup
30-45 minutes Prior: Spouse/Groom, Groomsmen and Guests Arrive
20 minutes Prior: Bridal/Spousal Party Arrive
On Schedule: Ceremony (20-30 minutes depending on Bridal Party Size, Readings, Ceremony, etc.)
20-30 minutes Post: *Post-Ceremony Photo & Video
30-60 minutes Post: Takedown
*The only exception is the ‘You & Me and Golden Love Package’ which may have a compressed timeline as there are much fewer guests and less decor (if any).
**If applicable. You may use your own Photo/Video. Reception to begin immediately following the ceremony, we recommend starting 30-45 minutes prior to allow time following and for takedown prior to reservation end time and/or dusk.

Photographer – Videographer
Most couples elect for a one hour session of Photography or Videography. All can be reserved for additional time however, the typical 1-hour reservation for each breaks down as follows. *Please note the Photographer & Videographer will shoot alongside one another (however, they are different vendors altogether):
5-15 minutes: Pre-Ceremony Photo/Video (Candid Shots, Setup Decor)
10-20 minutes: Ceremony Itself Photo/Video
20-30 minutes: Post-Ceremony Photo/Video (Group Shots, Combinations, last 10-15 minutes Intimate Shots of just the Couple!)
