- Wedding timeline for a 4pm ceremonyView →
A 4:00pm ceremony is one of the most popular start times. Below is a realistic sample with first look — adjust every block in our free editor.
- Wedding timeline for a 5pm ceremonyView →
A 5:00pm ceremony pushes portraits into golden hour territory and keeps dinner closer to sunset. Popular for summer weddings.
- Wedding timeline for a 3pm ceremonyView →
A 3:00pm ceremony means an earlier start for getting ready but a longer, relaxed reception into the evening.
- Wedding reception timelineView →
The reception is where most delays stack up. Use this hour-by-hour flow as a starting point — then customize in the editor.
- Wedding photography timelineView →
Photographers need realistic time blocks — not a minute-by-minute cage. Budget these windows and review with your photographer.
- Hair & makeup timelineView →
Underestimating beauty prep is the #1 reason ceremonies run late. Use 45–75 min per bridesmaid and 90–120 min for the bride.
- Wedding ceremony timelineView →
Civil ceremonies often run 20–30 minutes; religious ceremonies 45–90 minutes. Build buffer before and after for photos and guest flow.
Cultural & religious weddings
Longer ceremonies, mehndi/sangeet pre-events, and multi-hour celebrations — adjust buffers in the editor after generating.
- Catholic Wedding Catholic wedding day timelineView →
A Catholic wedding with full Mass typically runs 45–75 minutes — longer than a civil ceremony. Build buffer before cocktail hour and confirm timing with your priest and coordinator.
- Jewish Wedding Jewish wedding day timelineView →
Jewish weddings vary by tradition (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform). This sample covers a typical evening ceremony with chuppah, yichud, and a long reception with dancing — confirm order with your rabbi.
- Indian Wedding Day Indian wedding day timeline (main day)View →
South Asian weddings often span multiple days (mehndi, sangeet, etc.). This sample covers the main wedding day only — baraat through reception — which can easily run 8+ hours.
- Hindu Wedding Hindu wedding day timelineView →
Hindu ceremonies vary by region and family tradition. This sample follows a common North Indian flow — baraat, jaimala, kanyadaan, saat phere (seven circles), and an evening reception. Confirm order and duration with your pandit.
- Mehndi & Sangeet Mehndi & sangeet timelineView →
Multi-day South Asian weddings often schedule mehndi (henna) and sangeet (music/dance night) separately from the main ceremony. Use this for the pre-wedding celebration day — then build your Hindu or Indian main-day timeline separately.
