Wedding Tip in 60 Seconds – Ample Time

Ample Time: Why It’s Important

Today in this episode of Wedding Tip in 60 Seconds. We’re talking about “Ample Time” What’s up, everyone. My name is Chris with Abell DJ Company & thank you so much for joining me today. Todays topic is Ample Time Forgetting to leave an ample space of time between your ceremony and reception. In life and especially when it comes to planning a wedding everything takes longer than you think. If you have your ceremony and reception at the same location… Or if you leave exactly enough time for the 8 minute drive between the church and the reception hall… You will be stressed, miserable and end up with a wedding album where you are frowning on every page. Do yourself a favor and allow MORE time than you think you will need between the ceremony and reception. Your guests are creative enough to find something to do with themselves. Use your wedding professionals as the expert resources that they are. Ask them how long they recommend for getting ready, dealing with receiving lines and taking photos.
