My Ceremony is at 6, Dinner at 8. I was alloting this time for pictures per my photographer. I'm thinking we'll do pics with family and friends first then they can go change, frashen up, etc while we go our bride/groom newlywed pictures. I think my photog would have liked more time alloted between ceremony and dinner time for more pictures but I couldn't do dinner later and I could not move up my ceremony time. Another thought if you think pictures and freshen ups wont take that long... you could arrange all the guests to meet at the Lobby bar for drinks before dinner.
