An Ideal Schedule for Your 2022 Wedding Reception

Once you’ve chosen your wedding venue and set a date, one of the first things you should do is sit down with your wedding planner or event coordinator to go over a proposed timeline for the evening.

Below are some things you might want to include on your schedule, regardless of the kind of wedding you’re having!

•        Cocktail Hour

Ensure your venue offers a formal cocktail hour immediately preceding your event. It’s the best way for your guests to mingle while they wait on you to take your pictures. One hour is perfect for the cocktail hour; it should never exceed 90 minutes in duration.

•        Wedding Toasts

There are many different types of wedding toasts, and it’s entirely a matter of choice when you decide to do.

Traditional wedding toasts are given by the father of the bride or groom, best man, maid of honor and the bride and groom.

A personal wedding toast is made if someone dear to the couple cannot attend. They’ll send a toast-often a recorded video message-for when the couple is about to cut the cake.

Wedding toasts can take a big portion of your timeline if you don’t plan it out. Having a 2 to 3 minute speech should get the job done nicely.

•        Last Dance

Before the last dance, many couples have the parent dance, wedding party dance, or an anniversary dance, etc. But we believe one of the most important is the last dance, so don’t skip it!

It’s best if your wedding venue offers additional equipment that you can use for the party. For example, request extra lighting, speakers, etc. Check with the staff at your venue about their availability before the big day.
