Every experience reserves the chapel privately for you — the whole window is yours. Two rules shape the day:
- Your ceremony start time (you'll choose it in your Pre-Wedding Questionnaire) must be at least 30 minutes after your window opens and at least 30 minutes before it closes — that guarantees breathing room on both sides.
- Everything wraps by the end of your window — photos on the grounds included. Vendors arrive and depart within the window too.
The Signature — 90 minutes (example: 2:00–3:30)
- 2:00 — Your window opens. Come on in: the getting-ready rooms are yours from this minute.
- 2:10 — Vendors set up; your music person cues the playlist.
- 2:30 — Guests begin arriving and finding seats.
- 2:45 — Ceremony begins.
- 3:05 — You're married! Ring the bell on your way out.
- 3:10 — Photos in the chapel and on the grounds.
- 3:25 — Sendoff.
- 3:30 — Window closes — everyone (and everything you brought) heads out.
The Premier — 3.5 hours (example: 1:00–4:30)
- 1:00 — Window opens. Settle into the getting-ready rooms — this is the unhurried version.
- 2:00 — Vendors and decor in place; quiet moment (or first look) before guests arrive.
- 2:30 — Guests arrive.
- 2:45 — Ceremony begins.
- 3:15 — Bell, hugs, and the champagne toast and cake if you've added them.
- 3:45 — Photos everywhere you want them.
- 4:15 — Sendoff.
- 4:30 — Window closes.
The Intimate — 90 minutes
With up to six of you, the day is beautifully simple: arrive ceremony-ready, take a breath, marry each other, ring the bell, and spend the rest of your window on photos.
After the ceremony
The most-asked question we get: "what do we do after?" The pattern that works: bell → hugs and congratulations → toast and cake if they're part of your day → photos → sendoff. If you'd like ideas for celebrating afterward, our Reception Ideas page has our favorite nearby spots.
