I haven't been to many weddings, so I'm wondering do ppl usually provide lunch or snacks after the ceremony if the ceremony ends around noon?

for my wedding, yes, but it's only for the brothers, sisters, and the bride and groom's family.

Many of my friends had their wedding in Minoru Chapel. There is no "place" for food there...
I had my wedding in golf club then I "have to" provide food (part of the package).
I think it depends on the wedding venue.

It depends, for church weddings I have been to, they do provide finger foods. For venues like QE and minoru, no cuz the timeslot is very short and there's no place for catering. For venues like golf course or brock house, the reception usually follows almost right away after the ceremony.

My friend did cake cutting after her ceremony and served the wedding cake there. She didn't want cake at the end of her Chinese banquet as dessert. This way ppl can actually eat the cake and not waste it.

usually they will provide food, either at where they have the ceremony or at restaurant, depends on their budget or the time

Depends on the ceremony location, time booked, schedule for the day, and your budget la.

yeah depending how you are doing your ceremony.. for myself, we are not going through the church. this means we are only doing the tea ceremony.. then probably provide food for bridesmaids, groomsmen etc those who were with me during the tea ceremony.. then photos in the afternoon etc

ya, I wanna keep my budget as low as possible. I've asked Mayfair lakes, Hart House..etc, the cocktail food minimum charge would be $4000 on top of the ceremony rate.

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-5-28 08:30

wait? sorry I was confused, do you mean lunch/cocktail for your guests or just for your wedding party + immediate family? what I said only applies to overall guests in general. Of cuz we should provide lunch to wedding party and immediate family la.

you might want to also consider if you are having a banquet how many people are attending your banquet afterwards...if most people are going to a banquet then no la...

golf courses suck...they charge so much for EVERYTHING

Well ... for my case .. after wedding .. ( ~ 2pm ) take some picture at church etc .. ( already 3 ) then go to park/river to take some picture .. then go home to find what cloth to wear .. ( yeah .. I picked whatever that day .. LOL ) then go to Hotel with friends/parents .. have some rest .. chat and drink with my buddies .. iron my shirt and pants .. then around 7PM .. I show up in the lobby and find my wife .. ( damn .. cocktail / app already finished ..

)

So .. that 5 hour "GAP" just so whatever you want .. hanging around .. nothing special .. ^_^

I meant lunch/cocktail for all the guest after ceremony, and yes, all my guest will attend the dinner banquet at Chinese restaurant afterward. But...after reading all the comments, I think lunch/cocktail for all the guest is not necessary. I'll just have lunch with my immediate family and the wedding party then.

Really depends on the timing of the ceremony. For mine, we had food at both parents' house when doing the tea ceremony. After my church ceremony, it was 4pm already, so nothing provided as my friends had to go straight to the restaurant to set up the signing table, follow up the decor with the decoartion with the decorator, move some floral arrangement from church to restaurant plus putting the favours at the tables

作者: jusumsuen 時間: 2009-5-28 10:43

oh I also wanna ask, do ppl usually do the Tea ceremony after the ceremony or before the ceremony? or it doesn't matter?
I wanna do it after the ceremony.

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-28 10:45

I and most of my friends did that before. But I've heard some does the bride's side before and groom's side after, just because of timing issues.

As tea ceremony is more for the parents, u better ask them.

I think it's really up to you, depending on your schedule of that day.
If the groom and his bestman came over to your place and play some games to "pickup the bride", I think may as well do the tea ceremony.

good point

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-5-28 11:00

we did both tea cermonies before the ceremony. Some ppl would do tea ceremonies before reception also.

作者: jusumsuen 時間: 2009-5-28 11:02

ic...there won't be any "pickup the bride", so I guess I should leave the tea ceremony after the ceremony. hehe
