Wedding Reception Timeline

Estimating the timing of events at your Wedding Reception can be tricky without the proper help.
This information sheet is intended to guide you through the entire timeline process. Please note all times indicated on this sheet are merely estimates and the exact timing of events at your Wedding Reception may vary based on many factors. This information will, however, help you make an informed decision while planning your Reception.

1. Guest Arrival ( allow 15- 45 minutes for all your guests to arrive)

Your guests may begin to arrive as soon as Your Wedding Ceremony has completed and will be patiently waiting for your arrival which may be delayed due to photographs and/or a limousine ride. Your DJ, is aware of this and will make any necessary announcements, leading up to your arrival. Cocktail and dinner music will be playing in the background as your guests arrive to promote a formal atmosphere.

2. Bridal Party Introduction (allow 10 minutes)

Your introduction includes the announcement of your parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer, best man, maid/matron of honor and of course yourselves. In addition to this, it takes a few minutes to get the bridal party assembled and in order.

3. First Dance (allow 5 minutes)

We strongly recommend, the introduction moves directly into your first dance and it is in this case you should allow for more time. We recommend following this order of events as it guarantees your first dance takes place while you and your bridal party are still looking great!

4. Cake Cutting (allow 5 to 10 minutes)

We recommend cutting of the cake takes place following your first dance and before dinner. This ensures the opportunity for your guests to enjoy your cake before they get caught up in the fun o
your wedding reception. It also allows the wait staff to cut and serve the cake directly after the meal has been served.

5. Toast/Blessing ( allow 5 to 10 minutes for these events)

A Best Man toast followed by a blessing for the meal generally takes about 5 minutes, but this may increase with the addition of a toast by the Maid/Matron of Honor or other guest.

6. Dinner ( allow anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours - details below )

Buffet-Style Dinner:
Up to 150 guests 30 minutes
200 guests 45 minutes
250 guests 60 minutes
Over 250 guests allow 15 minutes for every 50 guests

Wedding Reception Timetable ( continued )

Sit Down Dinner: (depends on how many courses are served- this planner assumes there will be soup, salad, and an entree served)
Up to 150 guests 60 minutes
200 guests 75 minutes
250 guests 90 minutes
Over 250 guests allow 15 minutes for every 50 guests

7. Father/Daughter Dances & Mother/Son Dance: (allow 5 to 10 minutes)

The time will vary depending on your decision to include one or both of these dances. Figure five minutes for one, ten minutes for both.

8. Bouquet/Garter Toss: (allow 10 to 15 minutes)

We recommend the throwing of the Bouquet and Garter be limited to anyone 16 years of age and older. This ensures each of the traditional events involved in this fun can be carried out.

9. Dollar/Money Dance: (allow 20 to 30 minutes)

The time depends on the number of guests that participate in this event.

Remember, this is only a sample and is not how you have organized your Wedding Reception.

Keep these ideas in mind for you and your guests, so that everyone has an enjoyable reception.


1. If you have assigned seating for dinner, seat your younger guests closer to the sound system.

2. If you have a large Bridal Party, consider dedicating a special dance to them. This will allow plenty of time for your photographer to get candid shots of the bridal party!!!

3. If you have any questions, whatever they may be, don't hesitate to call me. I will do my best to answer your concerns.

4. If there have been any changes to your starting time since our initial meeting, please contact me, so that I can make the appropriate arrangements. Thank you!!



Take a moment to answer the following questions.

What radio station(s) do you listen to? ________________________________________
