How to make a great timeline

When working on the timeline, I start with the ceremony time and work my way to the end of the night. I allot thirty minutes for ceremony and forty-five to sixty minutes for cocktail hour. Work with your caterer on how long it will take for dinner, but usually an hour to ninety minutes works. Keep in mind when you need to be out of the venue. The middle of the timeline is for toasts, cake cutting and formal dances.
