How many people came
to your ceremony?
The chapel FH and I want to get married in only fits 130 people, but we are inviting 180 to our wedding. Just wanted to get a feel for how many people might show up/ not show up. This place is also about 40 minutes from my reception site.

Re: How many people came
We had 150 at the reception and I would say almost 100 were at the Church. It was a Friday afternoon and the weather was terrible, so we were pleasantly surprised.

Re: How many people came
We had a Friday wedding and out the 90 something that went to the reception, there were about 30 at the church. We were happy considering it was a weekday!

No, I think the reception is the day after...or at least that's what I understood.

Re: How many people came
I haven't actually booked anything, trying to figure out the timing. My reception is pencilled in at 7:30PM at Lands End. I have not decided on a time for the chapel, but I know it is available for any time.

I had a 3pm ceremony and the CH started at 7pm...on a Friday. If that helps.
Can you get married later at like 3:30pm or 4pm? That would work...and not too much of a gap plus time for pictures.

I think you'll be fine with that chapel.

Re: How many people came
ours was pretty much everyone because it was at the same place.
However, at my friends, they had over 300 people, but only about 150 came to the ceremony (ceremony was in smithtown, recpetion at sand castle).
the further the distance, and the greater the span of time between the two, the more people that will skip the ceremony.
