Lady*Timot
Hello, I don't know if you remember me or not but a while back I had contacted you about getting married at Olander Park and you had sent me a link to your pics. I am getting married in there July and I am getting really nervous about planning, i dont have much help in planning my wedding and as i have never been married before i dont know really how everything goes. I am really nervous about not having the right amount of time and with being a a tight budget we cant get in to decorate the night before. I was just wondering if you could give me some kind of itinerary like just with times of how long everything took (when did you decorate, when did ceremony start, what time were vendors allowed in for setup, what time were guests allowed to start arriving, what time did ceremony start, what time/how long did it take for pics, when did dinner start, when did the reception start?) your help would be greatly appreciated

Sure just remember to breathe!!
I want to say you book it for 7 hours right? 7 or 8 anyway..but they never do two rentals the same day.
Our wedding as at 2 pm
I want to say we booked it from 11-7 (or 8), honestly I'm sorry cause I can't completely remember.
The boys went over right at 11 and took all the chairs out of the main hall and moved and set them up on the deck. One of the groomsmen lived literally next door to the park so all the boys went there and changed and got ready after that.
(hrmm this is fuzzy I think the boys might have been in earlier then that because we did not see each other prior to ceremony)
All my girls and I put the table cloths and flowers on the tables. I think we ran to kroger or something the morning of and got all the daisies. We just threw bunches in a mason jar.
We took a long table out onto the deck (under the overhang) and put all our wine/beer/beverages there.
Then the girls and I got ready in the small office. (there were 4 of us and were were pretty crowded FYI..it's a SMALL office for a reason!)
My caterer showed up around 10 or so and already had started his grilled outside before the stuff was opened up for us. Once opened he moved his cold stuff inside and started setting up. My DJ got there at 11 when we got in I think. Cake was also dropped off around 12 I think.
When guests started to arrive we shut the main doors so no one would venture inside the hall. We had water out for guests before the ceremony cause it was so hot. I think they started showing up btw 1-1:30.
We started at 2, done by 2;15 it was a short ceremony. We did a short toast right after ceremony on the deck with everyone. The boys (and able bodied) helped take chairs back into the hall.
We did pics right after there in the grass area by the lake. Maybe an hour?
Then went back on the deck and I'm pretty sure after we walked in before we ate we sliced the cake since it was melting. Then we ate.
It was pretty hot so it broke up prob around 5:30 or so. My parents and whoever was left still helped sweep and clean up. We were done by like 6. I remember it was earlier then the rental time cause again it was so hot! haha
