Each wedding reception is as unique as the individuals getting married, but they all have at least one thing in common: A structured timeline. And a detailed “run of show” is a logistical necessity for the festivities surrounding the happily ever after of your wedding day. 

The standard wedding reception is composed of a  four-hour reception usually centred around the events. That said, there’s still plenty of flexibility to make it your own; the couple, the cultures, the venue, and the wedding size all play an important role in how the reception unfolds. The key here is to customize a timeline that makes sense within those parameters.
