Sample A: One-location finca wedding
11:00 am Coverage begins with details and separate preparation.
1:15 pm Individual portraits and dressing finished.
2:00 pm First look or private couple moment.
2:30 pm Immediate family photos if the couple wants to reduce post-ceremony pressure.
3:30 pm Guest arrival window and light venue buffer.
4:15 pm Outdoor ceremony.
5:00 pm Family-photo block near the ceremony site.
5:30 pm Cocktail hour.
6:00 pm Short sunset portrait window if the weather supports it.
6:45 pm Guests invited into reception.
7:00 pm onward Dinner, speeches and dancing.
This works best when ceremony and reception live close enough together that the property scale does not quietly slow every transition.
Sample B: Hotel wedding
12:00 pm Coverage begins in suites with details and preparation.
1:45 pm Couple fully dressed.
2:00 pm First look and portraits inside the property.
2:45 pm Wedding party and immediate family photos.
3:30 pm Quiet reset while guests begin arriving.
4:30 pm Ceremony.
5:05 pm Short congratulations and any remaining family groupings.
5:30 pm Cocktail hour while the room is finalized and photographed.
6:30 pm Reception opening and dinner.
8:30 pm onward Formal dances and party coverage.
This structure is often strong for Pereira hotel weddings because it keeps movement compact and protects both the gallery and guest comfort.
Sample C: Destination wedding with guest transportation
10:30 am Coverage begins with details and preparation.
1:00 pm Couple ready and any private portraits completed.
2:15 pm Guest shuttles begin loading from the main hotel base.
3:15 pm Guest arrival buffer at venue.
4:00 pm Ceremony start.
4:40 pm Family photos before the group disperses widely.
5:10 pm Cocktail hour.
5:45 pm Couple portraits if the light and weather support them.
6:45 pm Reception entry.
10:30 pm First planned shuttle return.
12:00 am Final shuttle return.
This works best when all guest communication supports one clear hotel base and one clear transport sequence rather than several parallel options.
How to use these samples well
These examples are not meant to be copied exactly. Their value is structural. They show how a timeline changes when the event is hotel-based, finca-based or built around destination transportation. Use them to pressure-test your own day. If your actual wedding adds a religious ceremony, a larger family layer, a second venue or longer rural movement, the schedule should expand honestly rather than pretending the sample still applies without modification.
