Gap between wedding ceremony and cocktail hour — The Knot Community

Hi all,

This is just my tentative (flexible) schedule so far. I just want to make sure this is a good path to start with. I am curious if a 1 hour gap between the ceremony ending and cocktail hour beginning is too long? I never like a gap, but we would like to take family photos and what not after the ceremony. We were also planning on mingling with people before we were to get on the bus to take pictures at the spot where we met that is 5 minutes away.

This is what the day looks like so far
3:00-4:00 ceremony
15 minute driving time to reception venue
5:00-6:00 cocktail hour
