Julie Herman - Great time line and advice for getting all the family photos out of the way prior to the ceremony. Particularly with large families. I am currently working toward my event planning certification but have been baking wedding cakes for years. One of the flaws I see is not cutting the cake early enough. Many times there is so much cake left over because guests either leave early or enjoy the bar too much. I recommend either taking the cake cutting photos as part of the grand entrance so the staff can start cutting and serving cake immediately following dinner or cut the cake immediately following dinner.
