More Heart Than Talent Atlanta Event 2009 – Got Your Checklist??
What is a normal wedding reception timeline?
I was wondering how the events of the wedding reception usually take place. I am trying to plan everything out for the DJ, catering manager, etc. Anyone know of a site with a good checklist? Thanks for your help!
Well the guests arrive before you because you’ll be doing pictures at the church. So try to have some appetizers and soft music for the guests when they arrive. When you get there you should be introduced to the guests, then go sit down. Dinner will be served, speeches will be made, and you should cut the cake before the dancing starts so everyone will be there to watch, and then people can have dessert whenever they want. Then the first dance, bridal party dance, daddy daughter dance, and then everyone dances. The DJ should be experienced enough to know when to do things like the hokey pokey and the garter/bouquet throw.

Congratulations!
