Although it has become apparent that I have for years done the work most expect of a wedding planner on the day, This is something I don't manage.
I do tend to use the time available and just slow down If I know I'm going to be ahead.
2 Pm service would tend to be 3 to 3:30 leave the church after ceremony, talking to guests, pics. 30 Min to travel to location would be average but could be longer.
1 hr min for "formals" 30 min back to reception..... and these are more or less " Ideal times. Most receptions here want the couple back by 6:30 so they can start the show and get the ball rolling at 7. More than not, especially in summer, that tens to be a push. Most couples forget travel time and on weekends in the afternoon, that can blow out substantially.
It's also not usual for there to be any gaps. Couples here tend to plan so everything has to be kept an eye on rather than there being an excess of time. Frequently they want to go to locations which are not possible to fit in the time frame of the day and have to be pulled back to more practical ideas.
On the rare occasions there is excess time, It's often just go to the reception early where they are fed and watered. They are never that early that the place isn't ready for them and many places are happy to have them there early rather than late which screws up their food service and running program.
I'm interested to know how you entertain them or what you do?
Never even crossed my mind that they should want me to do that, much as I take for granted so much else in the running of the day.
