The continuation of the help planning an actual day wedding itinerary.

Firstly is to decide if you are having ROM or Tea Ceremony before the banquet. Then have the PG and VG come 15mins to 30mins before that. Else the PG and VG can come at 7pm when the reception starts.

Rehearsal with hotel staff - 5-6pm
ROM (if any) - 6:30 / 15-30mins (skip to no.3 if no ROM)
Tea Ceremony - 6:45pm / 15-30mins (skip to no.4 if no Tea Ceremony)
Reception - 7pm
Photo Montage before march in (if any)
1st March-in - 8:15-8:45pm* (The dinner usually ends 2 hours 15 mins from this time)
Cake Cutting / 1st - 2nd Dish
Change for 2nd march in - 8:30-9pm (Go up earlier if the bride have a 2nd change of hair style)
SDE video presentation (if any)
2nd March in - 9-9:30pm
Champagne popping / Champagne pouring / Nuptial toast / Yum Seng / Speech(es)
Table to Table shoot - 10pm
Farewell - 10:30-10:45pm
Get Drunk!!! LOL - 11pm

*Usually to start when there is about 80-90% attendance or when all VIPs is here. May be later or early depends on your preference.

All timing are estimates from experience. 80% of my couples timing falls into this time table. Some are very different thou.

Hope this helps!

The most frequent question we get when doing a presentation is, "How much time do I need to.......". So today, I am gonna help you with the itinerary planning.

Firstly, do take note of your auspicious timing (if any) and work forward or backwards. Say if you need to complete your wedding day's groom's side tea ceremony by 11am, then plan everything from there. I gonna list down the usual timing for each items below.

Make Up - 1hr-2hrs (Depends on your makeup artist.)
Gate Crash - 20-60mins (Its up to you, really! :P)
Travel to Photoshoot - 10-40mins (Depends on where you go. Skip to no.5 if you prefer not shooting)
Photo shoot - 20-60mins (Good to have)
Travel to Groom's Place for Tea - 10-40mins (Depends on distance)
Groom's side Tea Ceremony - 15-45 mins (Depends on the number of relatives)
Change to Tea Dress - 5-15 mins (Depends on how fast you change. LOL)
Travel to Religious Service - ?? (Depends on distance, Skip to 12 if there's none)
Reception to Religious Service - 15-30 mins (Depends on the number of guest)
Religious Service - 30-60 mins
Lunch Reception / Tea Ceremony - 15-60 mins (Some couple morning activities ends here.)
Travel to Bride's Place for Tea - 10-40mins (Depends on distance)
Brides's Tea Ceremony - 15-45 mins (Depends on the number of relatives)

This is pretty much what a regular actual day wedding will look like. Please email me if you find things missing from the above list so that I can update the list.

More : I'm gonna add a dinner plan to this list shortly and also preparing a file to share with everyone so that the planning can go smoothly. Stay tuned!
