Your Perfect Wedding Day Schedule


Planning your wedding day schedule is crucial to ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Whether you're sticking with a traditional schedule or making a few alterations, having a clear plan will help you and your guests enjoy the celebration.

In this guide, we’ll cover traditional wedding day timelines and offer suggestions for alternative schedules. Plus, we’ll show you how to easily capture every moment with Guest.Gallery, a solution that lets your guests share their own photos and videos from your big day!

Traditional Wedding Day Schedule


A traditional wedding day generally follows this timeline:
  • 13:00: Church ceremony
  • 14:00 – 15:00: Wedding portraits
  • 14:00 – 16:00: Wedding reception at the venue
  • 16:00: Wedding cake
  • 18:00: Dinner starts
  • 23:00 – 00:00: Wedding dance

This schedule provides a good balance between formal events and mingling, eating, and dancing.

Alternative Wedding Day Schedules


If a traditional timeline doesn’t suit your style, here are some alternatives to consider:
  • Earlier Wedding Ceremony
    Hosting an earlier ceremony means guests have more downtime. To keep them entertained, consider light appetizers, music, games, or a venue tour.

  • Portraits on Another Day
    Free up time on the wedding day by scheduling portraits for another day. You’ll also have more control over lighting and location for better photos.

  • Whole Day Event
    If your wedding lasts all day, plan extra activities to keep guests entertained, such as brunch or mini-events.

  • Wedding Cake as Dessert
    Save time and money by serving your wedding cake as dessert during dinner.
