Answer Question

Lyssabeth's Unique, Joyful & Memorable Ceremonies

That depends on how many creative options you add, the length of your processional (if there is one) and the number of people you include. We generally tell couples that they can get a lot of creativity into a 20-25 minute ceremony. Anything less than 15 minutes seems somewhat less than momentous; longer than 30 minutes and your Uncle Harold will be dozing off in the back row!

The Rev. Douglas Morgan Strong

The ceremony can be as brief or as long as you wish. If we exclude the processional and recessional, an average wedding ceremony is between 10 and 20 minutes. It can be longer if you choose to have a musical interlude, a toast, special readings, or if you invite your guests to offer good wishes to you during the ceremony.
