    We will have a cocktail hour. Not entirely sure how long the venue gives us for it. I think I'd be fine if it was 1.5 hours. We going all in for the Grande antipasto bar and that is my favourite thing about my wedding. If I get stuck with guests my MOH has promised to get me a plate of all my favourite things. It is good she knows what I'd want lol.

    Yep! We are having a cocktail hour right after our ceremony is finished. We are planning on it being one hour while we go take pictures.

    Ours is about 2 hours. But we will have snacks, drinks, and lots of lawn games for the guests. Plus the photo booth. So hopefully it should keep them busy enough!

    I was always under the impression that our cocktail “hour” would be approximately one hour, but after our details meeting I learned that it’s closer to 1.5-2 hours. Good luck to my guests!

    No cocktail hour! We are going straight to reception from the ceremony with only time for the guests to grab a drink at the bar first! Don't see the point in them now that first look photo's are becoming more and more of a thing.

    We are having a cocktail hour, and it should be about an hour. It will really depend how quickly people go through the food!
